BUT i have to say i miss the days of RC, K-Dub, etc etc going and it makes me a bit sad to see that people turn down to race this event? Who would not want to represent their country.. .

Did you talk with Mitch about about it and he told you he would be glad to step up and replace DeCoster every year ?
I don't know Mitch or Roger. But I do know that Roger has been showing up for this race every year for better or worse for 50 years and owns the most wins as a rider and as a team manager.
That's commitment and passion that no one else has come close to when it comes to this event.
It will be a real loss when he no longer goes.
Fucking ridiculous. Searle has put in some brilliant MXdN rides over the years and was more often than not let down by his team mates. He may not have had the best day today but he earn't that podium a long time ago.
I cant stand fairweather fans, wherever they're from.
There have been numerous MXoN over the last decade where Tommy has been the only reason for us Brits to cheer, and he's deserved a podium numerous times. It's disgusting to me how quick everyone forgets his contribution to British MX over the years

As for Covington's pick,he was more than justified,he'd raced there many times,was familiar with the whole Europe thing and the guy is fast as hell,on the face of things after some had gone over to do the race and under performed at least you'd have thought you knew what you were going to roughly get from him,most thought he had to pull off one decent finish too
His fellow 250 competitors Bogers and Olsen finished 9th and 10th in the 2nd Moto when he met them,he crashed,came round dead last and made up to 22nd but on most days you'd expect him to be in front of those guys,just a shit day at the office
It has been the USA's strong hold that we could choose our 3 riders from such a huge pool that we were hard to beat and it was 4 riders at one time with one coming incase a rider got injured. The European teams would typically have 1 maybe 2 strong racers but seldom 3 like the USA did.
FWIW, I think USA will win it next year, we'll get the old "U S A, U S A" chest thumping back and everyone will love the event again and claim the "Euros" couldn't even win at Loretta's...
Roger DeCoster quote:
"Yeah it's definitely not fun to.....you know.....I....I....I don't.....I am at the point I don't feel like putting...all this effort and work into this event...if if if I am one of a few that is trying to make it happen in the right way....and uh...I think like I said the factories also they want to see...more for their money you know?"

Replace ping pong balls with clothes pegs and it's bang on.
Would you rather everyone wanna beat you cause you're dominant or everyone be happy for you cause you've never won?
