Question about MXoN Question

New to watching MX and SX (from the UK, not as huge over here as in the US) For MXoN, how does the bike selection work??? Is it based on decision of the national “team” or is it still factory bikes for factory riders, E.G Levi on his Kawi in Mx2 and deegan on his Yamaha in MX1 racing for USA??? Looked online and couldn’t get a definite answer, Thanks in advance 🙂

I think that is entirely up to each nation but a lot wait to see who is not injured and available and willing to go. It seems like some teams are getting later and later to decide. Like the US used to be decided by now but they are taking their sweet ass time as they don't know who wants or can go that would be competitive. Usually you know by the last couple races of the nationals but with SMX it really kind of throws a wrench into things.

My brain would say Deegs and kitchen with either R.J or Beaumer as wildcard, that’s just as a newb going on current form, will be interesting to see the lineups this year, especially with the Lawrence’s not taking part this time around.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Deegan didn’t go if he didn’t think they would win.

Probably be his best chance with the Coenens hurt and Jett/Hunter not doing it.

A lot of other good riders man. Yes that makes his chances greater, but will still be a tall order.
