Because the french federation sucks and didnt select him (he didnt declined anything)

J.Mart is injured, out for the year, i will pick Savatgy, but maybe he takes A.Mart because he already race MXoN with Porto Rico, so he know how it is, idk

Lol thats really stupid. What the hell honestly? Paturel over Musquin? There must be some grudge or something underneath all this.

Oh I thought J-mart only had a few broken ribs and would be back pretty soon. My bad then. Nah not Savatgy, he doesnt have the right attitude and A-mart is a better pick. I would even have considered Osborne since he has the most experience of GP tracks of them all.
I guess it's the difference between a fan that wants more races to watch and a fan that wants to see the historic events that have value in its results, rather than simply just entertainment.
I'm not saying having USGP's is bad, I'm just saying the riders should choose if they want to race them. They shouldn't be forced to do them on top of the actual U.S. based series, and then be too burnt out to want to ride something that matters (and prepare for another energy drink sponsored SX event a month later). I have no problem with the riders racing them and actually wanting to, but if they have to for contractual reasons and are too tired to do MXdN I think that's pretty dumb.
Yeah you had the Carlsbad and Unadilla USGPs back in the day, but they had less regular season rounds and no other one-off yearly races like now (straight rhythm, ME Cup). I'd definitely go to the Glen Helen USGP if I could, wouldn't go do Charlotte though because I hate that idea. I could go into a whole other rant about the sport growing and stuff but I won't get into that here.
We (USA) were still pretty damn close to winning last year though.

But serious. For the first time since Lommel I feel like we've got a winning line up. In Teutschenthal I never thought the US wouldn't win it.
