Spain announce Des Nations team for RedBud
The Spanish federation have announced their team that will be heading to RedBud in October to contest the 2018 Motocross Des Nations event.
The selection made is as follows:
Jose Butron – MX1
Jorge Prado – MX2
Carlos Campano – Open
There’s no surprise to see Jose Butron and Jorge Prado in the team as they pick themselves for Spain. If Iker Larranaga wasn’t injured he’d have also been an easy pick but with him being ruled out of the event, the Spanish federation have decided to give Campano the nod to represent the country.
Campano has been racing in Brazil this year as well as Spain. Young Spanish talent, Ruben Fernandez misses out on selection which to some will be somewhat of a surprise.
Antonio Alía, coordinator of the Motocross Commission of the RFME, commented, “after considering all the possible options, it has been considered appropriate to present these pilots to the MXoN with whom we hope to obtain the best possible result”.
