    Team USA looks good but I do think it's gonna come down to Coop having to go hard like he always does (the kid is a space alien).

    This could have been the year for Tomac, given he bested the world in Charlotte and Glen Helen, but we'll never know.

    France looks good also as does Holland. Belgium looks just ok - IMO.

    Italy has the King but Bernardini is a top ten guy and not a top three guy. I'm a fan of TM Racing. Bernardini has the sexiest bike on the GP circuit.

    Sooo, Roczson moved to Honda. Hmmm. Thanks for the link. Now I'm off to find the tv schedule.

    hmmm. Australia doesn't have Reed, Germany doesn't have Roczen. Looks like we're not the only country with the B team. France looks strong, the Dutch, UK too... but I gotta admit I like our chances.

    OTOH, when a team can leave Marvin M. on the sidelines and still win....

    I think that was the wrong thing to do. He would have been a HUGE asset for France.

    It seems every team is just one off.

    Still, I will be glued to the TV this weekend. :banana:

    My money is still on the USA for the win, They may not even win a moto but will be good for the overall what with half the good euros either not picked or out with a injury.
    Did here that Anderson may have broken a toe or two in his crash and if true thats not going to help your guys much but it aint over till its over and may the best team win. :thumbsup:

    Switzerland has a solid team too ( tonus, guillod, sewjer ) . USA has something under their sleeve for sure. France is looking strong, but that was qualifying only, today is another day ( it is sunday 8.00 am here, we are already revving our engines in the starting grid .. on our sofa lol )

    I hope Jason Anderson is ok, no intent to spoil, but that was scary

    Notsuka, a Japanese rider. For sure, JA's race was over, the gap to Herlings was big and he did not expect anyone, especially a lapper, to keep pushing like that.
