Tomac - no brainer

Webb - i don't think Dungey will go, Webb loves to race all over the world! (euro sx, japan mx, mxon in the past..)

250 Outdoor champ, i'd be down to see Plessinger go he might have an awesome outdoor season if he keeps the momentum going!

Would love to see Tomac, Webb, and Forkner go. Zach wouldn't be a bad pick either if he does well outdoors.

Really early but...

Eli Tomac - If he's healthy, duh...

Ryan Dungey - if it's his last year and he's riding well, I'd like to see him go. I know some are pissed at him for skipping before, but he's also done the job for us multiple times and if it's the last go, I think he should have the chance.

250s - Whoever wins the title and is on form...

MX 1: top American in 450's
MX 3: 2nd American in 450's
MX 2: Top American in 250's.

I don't care so much about the names, resume's, experience of the riders...whoever raced the best in the summer should get to go.

Tomac and Dungey are no brainers. It would be very hard to get against those two, especially with the way Tomac is riding. I just really hope they both stay healthy all year.

250s, I'm not sure. There's a lot of talent there and we will just have to wait and see who's on top at the time of the picks obviously Jmart is an early favorite. It could also be Osborne, Forkner, Savatgy, Amart, Ciancarillo or Plessinger. Me, personally,I would love to see Plessinger take that big step and battle for the championship and represent us at the MXDN. I don't know much about Matterley Basins track but if it's anything like most of the GP's tracks I think Plessinger could do really well.

Eli
Dungey
Jeremy Martin

France is going to be tougher than ever I think.

1: Paulin or Febvre
2: Moosecan
3: Ferrandis

we will see if moose has a good year and gets picked, if not both 21 and 461 are strong.

I hope France picks GP again over Musquin for Americas sake. IMO Musquins style is much better suited for the GP tracks, he should be a no brainer.

Tomac
Dungey
Forkner

That team would be able to rip starts and come through the pack if needed. They would be hard to beat.

I wouldn't be so sure that they pick ferrandis, even if he does great outdoors.
Probably paturel if he finishes top 3 in GPs

If Ferrandis has a good outdoor season and considering the bike he's on, they'd be crazy not to pick him...

But seeing how they've gone about skipping over Marvin in the past, I could see them skipping out on Ferrandis...

I can't wait to see a Tomac/Gajser batter now that Tomac is more comfortable. Was it in Latvia that Tomac first rode the 450 Honda and had that ridiculous race where he was catching everyone?

Tomac - USA's Next great hope. In the mix for worlds best MX rider.

Anderson- Gutsy ride last year with a horrible ending. If he rides well through the summer he deserves another chance.

Forkner- Grooming for future MXON and definitely fast enough to be there.

Obviously how this summer goes plays a huge part, but right now I would think it would be Tomac, Dungey, J Mart.

But, my heart wants Anderson, Webb, A Mart. Those boys fought through hell last year and I would love to see them win one in redemption.

No dunge. He chokes at the event and has bailed the last 2 years.

send someone who wants to go and wants to win it.

I agree with your heart picks. That would be awesome, for them to come back and win it all.

X2 and hope to see the same from AC. Surely, Dungey doesn't say no to his last opportunity to represent the good ole USA if this is last season and he is healthy.

Dungey also jumped from a 250 to a 450 for his first appearance at MXdN and helped us win.
