Assen this year will be thriller for sure. The home team is predicted to dominate on home soil. You can't forget the French. Swiss with duo Seewer & Tonus that is on fire right now completed with Valentin Guillod on 250 should be somewhere upthere too, right?

What will be the final standings of swiss MXoN team in the sandhell of Assen 2019.

You can count on one thing: Guillod will disappoint. I think Auberson is a safer pick.

I mean that's a one for debate. Guillod used to shine on 250s. He got wins in MX2, Auberson on the other hand has some points in SX.

We will see. But i see Auberson as a replacement if anyone gets hurt.

Real question, will GBR win one in the next 10 years?

I guess to them no matter what place they get, if the USA doesn't win they feel as if they did.

Not likely, no. I mean Joel Rizzi might become a star and maybe win world title or two but MXoN is team competition. You need 3 or more likely 4 top notch riders so you will be prepared for the worst and UK doesn't have it or atleast i don't see them.

I mean i personally don't see even belgium winning in next 10 years. In an enviroment where you have only 6 permanent tracks where you can ride it is almost miracle that they are achieving what they are.

My top picks for upcoming decade would be france, netherlands & usa to win MXoNs. There are strong contenders like Swiss, Denmark and even Latvia can mix it up on the podium with possibly Italy (Forato is beast in making) aswell.

I think America will do fine, Australia will do great too if Geico Honda doesn't mind coming with both brothers or if both brothers doesn't mind riding Vlaanderen' bike combined with Evans or Ferris that could be a great team on great equipment. Ferris (Factory Yamaha), Hunter Lawrence HRC Honda 450 and then Jett or Mitch.

Switserland will be mixing it up too with Arnaud Tonus, Jeremy Seewer and Valentin Guillod who is really getting his pace back in the French 250 championship and the 450 ADAC and Swiss Championships. If he combines this with some sand racing he will be solid, don't understand the hate against him.

Mine little Belgium has some problems because Jeremy Lieber isn't a real sand specialist and Kevin Strijbos isn't on pace at the moment. The other picks will be easy if everyone keeps healthy: Jago Geerts & Jeremy Van Horebeek.

I heard that Herlings injury is only "8 weeks" of the bike so that would mean that he can race the last few GP's and the MXON. And Holland has a nice talent pool to pick from with Coldenhoff, Pootjes, Vaessen, Bogers, Van de Moosdijk, Vlaanderen, ... not all of them are fit at the moment but you can pick three riders who have so much experience and trust racing the sand, that other teams will have a hard time anyhow.

For America I hope they show up with their "dream team". Adam Cianciarulo in the 250, he's really pushing the envelope in that class at the moment and then on the big bikes: Eli Tomac and Cooper Webb or Jason Anderson. But even with Justin Cooper, Zach Osborne and some others, we can say the USA has some great riders to send.
