MXoN Teams - Selected
With the news today of Team France and Team The Netherlands being named and Team Australia named a while ago, we all await the news of Team USA, which seems it might be announced in a week or so.
Those for me, are the big teams with the big riders, but then you can also add Team Spain, Team Germany or even Team Belgium as contenders.
I think we all look forward to the Lawrence vs Prado vs Tomac vs Herlings vs Sexton vs Gajser vs Roczen vs Febvre vs Lawrence vs Coenen vs Renaux battles. This years MXoN could go down as one of the best ever.
I cannot wait to see Lucas Coenen and Liam Everts on the 450s and what they can do at Matterley Basin.
Interestingly, in the entry list I have, Hunter Lawrence is down in the MX2 class, with Webster in the Open class. Not sure if that is correct, but interesting if it is so.
Around Matterley, a circuit Hunter Lawrence has won the MX2 class in the MXoN, I wouldn't be surprised to see him battle 450s if he is in fact in the MX2 class. Looking back on the press release on the Aussie team, there was no mention of which classes the riders would be racing.
