Can one of you please be a lamb, and ask Eli Tomac and Adam Cianciarulo ; “ If called upon by your country, are you willing to race Motocross at the Motocross Des Nations- for Team America in Assen, The Netherlands, this fall ?” Thanks so much.

Send the best damn riders we got. Right now, if the kawi boys don’t go, that’s Anderson, Osborne and Cooper. That’s a team that can do really well.

It’s really not difficult to understand. It’s going to be some combo of Tomac, Anderson, Osborne, Webb, Cianciarulo and Cooper.
Pit Row
I bet you nobody even gets close to record breaking stats that where established from Mcgrath and or Carmichael. Let alone Stewart. Those days are over it’s now paycheck. Last or first paid the same. Ever since monster cup and 3 of the 3 contenders made it in a singe night. The sport has lost all integrity.
Having said that, the best team would be Anderson, Zacho, and Webb with one of Webb or Zacho on a 250. Why? Because taking a rookie to MXoN like Justin Cooper or AC is just asking for a bad day. The crowds and atmosphere at Assen will be INSANE. A kid like Justin Cooper either folds up completely, or gets too emotional and throws it away. Look at rookies like Baggett in 2011, Tomac in 2013, J-Mart in 2014, Plessinger in 2018 all on the 250 and either folding up or throwing it away. Take experience. Who cares who the 250 champ is. Take the best riders for the job. Those 3 above are all scrappers.
Team USA can put together 3 strong riders in a field where the best gp riders in 450 and 250 are on weak teams and it seems everyone else is plagued with injuries.
I as a non-American would think after the debacle of Matterly Basin and RedBud that it would be epic for team USA to turn up and put the euros to the sword in the heart of European mx on a deep sand track. I genuinely think that with the right riders and a bit of luck it could be done. That's why you should go.
