Irish MXoN team announced!

The MRA have announced Team Ireland’s line-up for the 2015 MX of Nations in Ernee, France.

The team compromises of Graeme Irwin, Martin Barr and Stuart Edmonds with young British championship competitor Glenn McCormick as the reserve rider.

Barr, currently fourth in the MX1 British championship, is having his best season in a couple of years while Irwin, currently sixth in the same series,  has just taken his first podium of the year in the British championship and just won both motos at the MX Nationals at Hawkstone Park, where he lies second on the championship.

Edmonds, riding for KMP Repsol Honda in Germany, has also shown flashes of speed this year despite dealing with an on-going foot injury and always brings his A game when he represents his country.

Reserve rider Glenn McCormick has been in excellent form in 2015, scoring points in the British Championship and winning races against the 450s at home in Ireland, so will be an able replacement if he is called upon.

It is Ireland’s strongest team on paper and qualifying will be a minimum expectation even it is always the first goal of the weekend.
