So it really looks like David Phillippaerts and Antonio Cairoli won't be at the 2010 MX de Nations in Colorado because the Italian Federation want them to run, wait for it, totally unbranded national team jerseys! So, the riders teams, Rinaldi/Monster/Yamaha and RedBull KTM respectively won't let their riders go!

So the Italian federation are just gonna send the B-team, which is a shame as David and Toni are two of the best bike riders in the world. Shame for the fans and for the sport but another lesson that maybe the UCI can learn from hahaha!

Here's a link to a story with some clever little ideas as to solutions to the problem!

ghey...send 'em and use it as advertising for the next 12 months that you put a guy in the field. Sponsors inability to twist reality after the fact??? Come on. Like those teams can't market that aspect of the team because of a jersey at 1 race. Lame.

It is pretty obvious that Cairoli is just afraid of the Americans.
