While the Australian Motocross of Nations team for the 2022 event at Redbud should be one of their best ever, I always find it entertaining that I get an application form every year from the Australian federation.

Now, I know I won't be applying, but it seems an interesting way to get riders to sign up. I mean, if I got an application form, I have to ask how many riders got the form and I can imagine that 100s apply.

There is no doubt the team will be the Lawrence brothers and either Mitch Evans or Jed Beaton. The form of Evans and Beaton as the event gets closer will decide that rider. No offence to Beaton, as he would be a great rep for Australia, but I do love the idea of Team Australia having three HRC riders, similar to the 1986 Team USA in 1981 and 1986. There is something very cool about a complete Honda factory team.

Anyway, any Aussies out there who didn't get the application form, go ahead and apply to race for your country.
