The Netherlands will line up with a seriously strong team behind the starting gate at the Motocross of Nations (MXoN) in France: Jeffrey Herlings, Kay de Wolf and Roan van de Moosdijk will defend the orange colours from October 4–6 in Ernée.

The Motocross of Nations (MXoN) is the annual world championship for national teams. The three selected riders each compete in their own class (MXGP, MX2 and MX Open), all fighting together for the overall title.

MXGP: Kay de Wolf

Kay has won the MX2 class at the MXoN two years in a row. With four podium finishes already this season, along with numerous top-five results, the former MX2 World Champion has shown in his rookie MXGP season that he immediately belongs among the very best.

MX2: Roan van de Moosdijk

Roan is enjoying a strong season, with multiple top-ten finishes in the MXGP class. On top of that, he claimed the title last weekend in the highly competitive German ADAC MX Masters Championship.

MX Open: Jeffrey Herlings

With his speed and dominance, Jeffrey is once again taking the MXGP to an even higher level. The five-time World Champion currently leads the MXGP standings by a comfortable margin after ten Grand Prix victories. He could already secure the championship this coming weekend at the Grand Prix of Turkey.

World title and podium opportunities

Before the MXoN in early October, Herlings and De Wolf still face a busy race schedule with major opportunities for success. For Jeffrey, that means a potential World Championship title, as mentioned above. Kay de Wolf still has podium opportunities in the final three GPs of the season. Roan will be fully focused on the MXoN throughout September.
