While Team USA might not be the team that it once was and victories are hard to come by, I don't think anyone is disappointed when Team USA is coming to the MXoN. Yes, this team, with names like Haiden Deegan, Chase Sexton and Eli Tomac not coming, due to one thing or another, will be respected in Ernee, France this weekend.

Following Chance Hymas' injury during the Free Practice sessions of the 2026 SuperMotocross finale, Julien Beaumer put his hand up to fill-in on Team USA. With only two days to prepare on a Red Bull KTM Factory Racing 450SX-F before catching his flight to France, Julien and the team opted for him to fly straight to Southern California from the race to dial in a setting and log some 450 laps prior to Motocross of Nations. We were on-hand for Julien's first laps aboard his final 450 setting, which is being sent to France as we speak. Press play to check out the raw footage from Ju Ju's final day of 450 testing before this weekend's MXdN!
