Matthes has tweeted saying Tomac is in (https://www.dirtbikerider.com/news/motocross/eli-tomac-gives-answer-on-…) but who should join him?
I expect there'll be a lot of motivated riders wanting to win for Team USA on home soil but who deserves the shot?

I'm picking JMart over AP right now because I think JMart is a consistently better starter. Speed they are pretty equal. I think once Martin hits his stride he will be tough to beat.
The focus should be trying to win this year. He's our best 450 rider. He wants to go. He should be on the team. The goal is about winning. It shouldn't be about punishing a rider and ultimately lessening our chances for a win because of something that happened the year before. If you keep looking behind you at the past you will trip on the future ahead of you.
Just my two cents.
Team USA
Eli Tomac
Aaron Plessinger
Justin Barcia.
Team France
Marvin Musquin
Dylan Ferrandis
Gautier Paulin
Team Great Britain
Max Anstie
Ben Watson
Tommy Searle

Dean Ferris
Team Belgium
Clement Desalle
Jago Geerts
Jeremy Van Horebeek

Jeffrey Herlings
Calvin Vlaanderen
Glenn Coldenhoff

Pit Row
YMMV
Personally...I'd pick...
Barcia
Plessinger
Martin
Also you guys who think you're owed seeing Tomac ride for Team USA are hilarious. What about all the legends from back in the day who refused to go? Hannah? O'Mara?
Logical MX3 is Barcia, though if Anderson is healed and ready then he's a great choice too. Baggett and Peick are up far enough in the standings to be worth considering.
How many races will Anderson have in before the end of the season? 4? Have to see how he is at that point.
The race is in October this year right? Don't contracts go until Sept 30 usually? Barcia is only really an option if he stays with Yamaha for next year.
Baggets starts really scare me. Been waiting for him to catch fire since January, see how the next 2 months work out.
JMart or Plessinger whoever is top of the 250 class, track would be good for either and each can have a good or bad day.
Post a reply to: So if Tomac is in for the MXoN who else would you pick for Team USA?
