Sexton, Anderson and Deegan...  Which one or one's are thinking they want to go and just need to sort out the details???

Bummed that we don't get the team today, excited that they are still working on the best possible team.

Anderson can’t go, Kawasaki won’t support it.

Such bullshit. Makes me never want to buy a Kawi. I'm one insignificant person who doesn't even buy a new bike every year. But it will never be a green bike

This has to be the only sport in the world that the top athletes are hesitant to represent their country on the biggest stage. Sad to say the least. 

The top basketball players almost never play in fiba world cup for USA 🤷‍♀️

Shame on you Zach for riding a Kawi when they won’t let Ando go!! I also blame Kawi’s mxdn karma for blowing up the klx110 I sold you. It had absolutely nothing to do with my maintenance schedule. 🤣

 

back on topic, I personally hope for sexton, deegan, barcia. Bunch of rippers💪🏽💪🏽

Just a little bump.  Any word on possibly when or if we are sending a team?

Genuine question - what are possible reasons for a delayed announcement?  The teams are already entered and locked in.

Speculation now was AP, Vohland (or Barcia) and Hampshire???  But yeah, the team already had to be entered, so not sure why they would delay the announcement

I know your comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek but don’t they usually also have an alternate?

I always thought so but times change so I'm clueless.  If ML could get a sit down with Roger...these questions would probably get answered.  Might even sneak in some non-MXdN questions that might have interesting answers.Cool

They said last week that it would be announced at the SMX event in order to have a decent media coverage of the announcement.

I thought they were kicking Roger to the curb for his obvious conflict of interests.

I hadn't heard that but I was camping at over 9500' for over a week. No cell signal so catch me up on Rogers ouster?  Last I saw...he was still Team USA manager.

Another rumor is that we are not going at all! I hope it's not true.

I hope that's not the case.  I wouldn't mind a $2.00 fee added to every SX/MX ticket for an MXdN fund.  Take money out of the equation.

Years ago the AMA would sell t-shirts and hats to help support the team.  RacerX would sell signed sticker packs to.  Bring that back!  Let the fans help support the effort!  then we are truly invested in it!

The longer the announcement is delayed the more likely this seems.  That would be extremely disappointing and a kick in the face to all the small teams that go every year.

They had a team announcement planned for today, but someone else backed out.  I have no clue who, but not a good sign and sounds like we should bail.

I'm sure there there are at least 3 American riders that CAN and WILL go.  I'd be happy with Chisholm, Niccoletti, and whoever vs not sending a team at all.

I suggested ML interview Roger for an update but if there's a chance we don't send a team at all...that REQUIRES some input/explanation from SOMEONE.

I would love to know what would keep Plessinger - Barcia - Hampshire from going.  

 

But yeah, if it needs to be Marchbanks - Masterpool - Hawkins, let's do it.

Sounds like Plessinger and Hampshire are still in, we need a third guy.

What would keep Barcia out?  He seems like an automatic for the team...  Saw him today on-track, not like there's an injury.

Absolute joke if USA can't feild a team, we have Cody Cooper going for New Zealand who battled Bubba in 2008, all paid for by bake sales and raffles......

No need to add more $$, just use $2 from the original sale price.

Theoretically they could, but RJ is supposed to be our other 450 guy. I'll ask tomorrow.
