Slovenia will be heading to this years Motocross des Nations event taking place at Matterley Basin on the 5th and 6th of October.
They will go there with who they hope will be the MXGP World Champion as Tim Gajser has currently got the red plate with two rounds to go but the battle will go right down to the wire between him and Jorge Prado.
Jan Pancar is a rookie in the MXGP World Championship and as a privateer riding for his TEM JP253 KTM Racing Team. The Slovenian is quietly going under the radar in the toughest class in the world as he sits fourteenth in the championship with two rounds to go and continues to improve as the season progresses.
Last but not least, Jake Peklaj who has contested selected EMX250 and MX2 GP events this year before an injury disrupted his season. He’ll be back for the MXoN event and hoping to help Slovenia qualify straight through to the main event and push for a top ten Nations overall result.
“We start to do results in the top ten, we got last year 9th position. This year I think the Slovenian team has stronger riders than last year and of course we hope for another top 10”, Saso Kragelj told GateDrop.com.
The following line up has been selected for Slovenia.
MXGP: Tim Gajser
MX2: Jaka Peklaj
MX Open: Jan Pancar
Team Manager: Saso Kragelj
