Having said that basically anybody who is racing EMX250 can get a wildcard for a race if you just pick the right one (as in the ones where there will not be 40 applicants). And if you look at the overseas gp's you'll see that there really isn't a quality requirement. At Turkey in MX2 there were multiple local guys who had fastest laps 35 seconds of the pace (on a 1:55 lap...).
Firstly you need to have the authorisation of your national federation which usually means an international motocross license, which they wouldn't hand out to just anyone. Additionally you need either an FIM Motocross World Championship or FIM Prize Event licence. It's worth noting that a Prize Event licence is what teams use to enter their riders.
So in effect their are 2 checks as to whether a rider is eligible to enter a GP.

I think Moreau rode the right class at MEC. Throwing him among grown up men in the big boy class would have been stupid. Now he rode kids his age and his talent level and finished 4-4. I don't see the problem.
2/3 of Estonian MXDN team is not pros
But i have said this before and i'll say it again. It is ridiculous to call the top junior racers in USA "amateurs". They are professional racers, there is no way to deny that. Whether you call them pros of amateurs doesn't matter.
This event might be called "Amateur all-star" or whatever but the majority of them are professional racers.

And i think you need to have points in the EMX or MX2/MXGP class to get your pro license in the US.
