Troll subject line, but genuine question on MXDN eligiblity
I've heard that Roczen and Musquin both got US citizenship. What are the rules for eligibility to race for a certain country?
I know that a lot of US riders race for Puerto Rico and that's because PR is a US territory. I assume they don't race for other countries because they aren't citizens and there isn't that relationship. So how do the rules account for Roczen, Musquin, Reed (?) racing for their respective countries of origin if they are no longer citizens?
btw - I'm not arguing about it. I'm glad they've become citizens because they're badass and I think it's cool that they still love their home countries. I'm just asking how the rules work. I figured it was based on citizenship, but maybe not.
