Vets Des Nations – Can anyone stop America?

With one of the strongest Teams which they have sent in recent years the American Team of John Dowd, Ivan Tedesco, Doug Dubach and Mike Brown must start as favourites in the tenth edition of the Vets Motocross of Nations which takes place at Farleigh Castle this weekend

However, last year Team England beat the stateside visitors fair and square and with the four man squad consisting of ex world number two Kurt Nicoll, Mark Eastwood, Stephen Sword and “Factory” Phil Mercer who would bet against a repeat performance?

The eight team races at the iconic Farleigh Castle circuit will not be down to just two teams as Denmark, led by Soren Mortensen, Northern Ireland, headed by ex GP winner Gordon Crockard, Canada, Austria, Luxembourg, Wales and Scotland with Billy Mackenzie in their squad cannot be dismissed.

Germany, who won the Twinshock contest in 2015 are sending a competitive squad whilst Belgium also have a strong presence.
