Because our federation sucks, they did the same thing last year, same in 2000 with DV who had the best season of his career this year

Musquin has said no to them before and it pissed them off, presuming they still hold a grudge. Paulin hasn't done good this year in GPs but always performs at mxon so I wouldn't be worried about not winning again.

The federation estimated Musquin wasnt motivated enough for MXDN. What a joke.

I'd love to see Musquin on there too, but they've left him off before and still won. Look at Latvia 2014 or 2016 in Ernee. France just happens to have it going on right now in terms of talent, and I don't think they'd need Musquin to win.

But of course my real hope is that Tomac goes terminator on everyone :twisted:

2014 Paulin wasnt the same as Paulin 2018 (struggle to finish top5 in GP lol), 2016 Ernée Musquin was here and almost win a moto in 250..

Sorry, you're right. Musquin was in Ernée, but that was also 2015... I was looking up the results and got mixed up. I was referring to the 2016 event in Italy. I still think France wields a strong team tho... and even if Paulin isn't the same as he once was, he's stepped up for this race before. You guys even had an enduro rider on the team last year and still won haha. We all thought France was doomed without Musquin in 2014 and they ended up killing it. Either way, like I said before, I'd like to see Musquin on the team. Dude is one of the most technical riders out there and I think for as rough as RedBud can get, he'd be a great asset.

Curious, don’t know how it works honestly, but MM25 has dual citizenship, right? Does that mean he can race for the US if he got picked? I’m speaking out of ignorance here because I don’t know tbh

If he has an american citizenship then yes actually ... Calvin Vlaanderen will probably race for The Netherlands as well now.

Im no Musquin fan but I am fucking pissed. HOW CAN YOU BE THAT STUPID!?Its so ignorant. The team manager was even at red bud this year watching Marvin win the whole thing!! Good job having Pauling as team captain, the dude barely puts it in the top 5 anymore. Marvin even put up a video on his facebook stating how he was left out. I hope every american rider smokes Paulin and Febvre. (I like Ferrandis so he can go)

Musquin hasn't been on the team for years.

I read somewhere that he outright refused a few years ago and that probably doesn’t sit well with them
