We need to send 3 riders willing to race the MXoN with the same intensity as the race a national or a SX when the championship is on the line. To me that leaves us with Sexton, Justin Cooper, Anderson and Barcia. It takes a special attitude to risk your SX season for a race that is for bragging rights. There is no doubt in my mind that if Tomac, raced with the intensity he races with when a Championship is on the line could run with any rider in the world. From what I have seen since the MXoN in Germany when Tomac was on a 250 he has never shown that intensity in any of the MXoN races he has raced sense that race.
When you think about $1,000,000 for the championship and $150,000 plus for each race win a rider like Tomac or Webb can make in SX I can not say that I can blame a rider for not putting it all on the line for the MXoN.
The questions I have, and there will eventually be a thread for it, who's gonna race for all the other countries(From our Nationals)?
Most notably...
Are the Aussie Bro's gonna race for Oz?
KR for Germany?
Shimoda for Japan? (I'm pretty sure he's the fastest racer from Japan...ever...and that includes Watanabe)
Marvin for France? (Hey, it could happen! I bet Roger would pick him if he was the FR mgr!)
For 450s we go with the gamble that is chase sexton because we know he will probably be the fastest dude there and get good starts but please don’t wash the front end.
For the other spot. I can’t help but rather have Anderson go over Tomac. Tomac is just too hot and cold for a one day race. Anderson won a Moto and has that clutch gene to be able to handle that race - kind of like barcia but with more speed.
Anderson sexton cooper right now.
Dungey stunk it up every nations after he went to KTM so I would lean toward no. And that’s a whole other topic. Dungey was not the same guy the rest of his career once he moved to KTM. Just my opinion. I know he won plenty but he was not as fast.
Pit Row
Any of the top 5 in either class would make us all proud no doubt.
I think Dunge would be a fairytale story but right now he’s 4th in line IMO behind TomAndersexton
High point was eye opening fa sho…
Chase hasn't been great there. But this "new" Chase might show us what we need to see.
Cooper hasn't been good at Red Bud either... But Hampshire has been really good. Not that I like that pick, but should history only be important when we want it to be??
