It will be a young but determined Italian team that heads to Ernée, France, on October 3-4 for the 2026 Motocross of Nations. With an average age of just 22, the Azzurri are one of the most anticipated teams for the end-of-season event, particularly as they secured an excellent third-place finish in France back in 2023.

“We will arrive in Ernée with a young team eager to achieve a good result. Our riders have already shown how much they care about the Azzurri jersey and they will demonstrate the pride they have in representing our country, especially in front of the large crowd at the French track.”
