Herlings out of MXoN
The Netherlands will be represented by a formidable team at the Motocross of Nations (MXoN): Glenn Coldenhoff, Kay de Wolf and Calvin Vlaanderen will defend the orange honour in the United States in early October.
The MXoN is the annual world championship for national teams. The three riders will each compete in their own class for the joint title. During this highlight of the MX season, Coldenhoff will start in the MXGP, De Wolf in the MX2 and Vlaanderen in the Open class.
Glenn Coldenhoff: "I am very proud to be representing our country in TeamNL for the thirteenth time this year at the Motocross of Nations in America. Every time feels special and the fire and motivation are still just as strong. I'm really looking forward to it!"
Kay de Wolf: "It's great to be part of TeamNL again, this is my fourth year. It's always wonderful to represent the Netherlands. I'm really looking forward to it and together we're going for a great result!"
Calvin Vlaanderen: "I am incredibly happy and proud to have been chosen to represent TeamNL at the Motocross of Nations. In my current form, I am determined to put in a good performance and make our fans proud, together with Glenn and Kay. I can't wait to be there!"
Barry Forschelen (KNMV national coach): “The Netherlands has a lot of talent with several leading professionals at the top of the world rankings; we are a real motocross country. TeamNL reflects that too. The selection is a bit of a puzzle every year, depending on many factors. I am very happy with these riders, who have been performing well in their World Championships all season. We are going for the podium in the US!”
