France Names 2023 Monster Energy FIM Motocross Of Nations Team

With a recent succession of MXGP round wins, Romain Febvre will be aiming to propel the team to victory on their home turf.

The French Motocross of Nations Team has been announced for the upcoming 2023 Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations, scheduled to occur at the scenic Ernée track in France from October 6th to 8th.

With the event set to take place on their home soil, the French team is gearing up with an exciting and highly competitive roster: Romain Febvre, Tom Vialle, and Maxime Renaux. The trio will be focused on securing a home victory.

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque town of Ernée in the Pays de la Loire region of northwestern France, the undulating motocross track will provide plenty of challenges for all teams.

Team France boasts a strong history in the Motocross of Nations. They clinched the championship victory in an impressive streak from 2014 to 2018 and have emerged as victors a total of six times. In light of this strong track record, anticipation is high for this year’s event as they strive to reign supreme on their own turf once again.

In the MXGP category, Romain Febvre, currently second in the 2023 MXGP standings, will be leading the charge, bringing his current winning form to the forefront.

Tom Vialle, who is currently competing in the 250 class in the AMA Pro Motocross Championship, will be taking on the MX2 category. Lastly, rounding out the trio of talented riders, Maxime Renaux, who has just returned to the MXGP class following recent injuries, will be the team’s representative in the MX Open class.

One unhappy Frenchman is Dylan Ferrandis who has shown front-running pace in the 2023 AMA Motocross Championship. “I will apply for a US passport, might have a chance to ride MXoN again!”. Ferrandis said on Instagram, clearly unhappy about missing out on team selection.

Budds Creek Highlights

The AMA 250/450 riders came to Budds Creek with only two chances to do something dramatic before the season comes to a close next week at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana. As has become the unsual outcome, Honda’s Jett Lawrence’s took the win, but for the first time this season the Australian had to work for his 10th consecutive victory after egtting a midicre start in the first moto and having to work his way through a group of determined competitors.

In the 250 Class, Jett’s older brother Hunter took his 7th win of the season with a 2-1. Hunter now has a 22-point lead with one race left and 50 points left up for grabs. Justin Cooper tied Hunter Lawrence with a 1-2 to keep within the magical 25-point range to keep his hopes alive heading to Indiana for the final race.

Dutch Sand Bites Herlings!

Jeffrey Herlings fell in free practice and broke his right collarbone. The injury was his second injury setback this season. Jeffrey is currently 7th in 2023 450 World Championship points, but 365 points adrift from 450 points leader Jorge Prado with only Turkey, Italy and Great Britain remaining. Jeffrey is already mathematically out of any chance at winning the 2023 title. It is a huge blow for the sport to lose Jeffrey in the same year that he set the record for the most Grand Prix wins by a rider.
