Calvin Vlaanderen, Glenn Coldenhoff and Kay de Wolf will represent the Netherlands at the start of the Motocross of Nations in Ernée, France on October 7 and 8.
The Motocross of Nations (MXoN) is the annual world championship for national teams. The three riders each compete in their own class for the joint title.
Vlaanderen (Gebben Van Venrooy Yamaha Racing) is our MXGP rider, Kay de Wolf (Nestan Husqvarna Factory Racing) will start in MX2 and Coldenhoff (Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP Team) will ride in the Open Class.
Stage
In 2022, TeamNL did not finish on the podium for the first time in five editions, with the win in Assen in 2019 as the highlight . In France the drivers want to get back to the medal places.
Team manager Barry Forschelen: “Although the riders fought like lions, they were still a bit disappointed after last year’s seventh place. Now we are back, with a strong selection that will give everything to achieve success.”
Before that happens, the riders first have to wait for the two last Grand Prix of the season, in Italy (17-9) and Great Britain (24-9). After that, the focus is completely on the MXoN.
