The Dutch selection for the Motocross of Nations (MXoN) is undergoing a change.
MXGP rider Glenn Coldenhoff will start on October the 5th and 6th in place of the currently injured Calvin Vlaanderen.
During the first round of MXGP Arnhem, Vlaanderen injured himself so badly that he had to skip the Grand Prix of Switzerland. Now that the MXoN is fast approaching, it has been decided in consultation to fill his place differently. We hope for a quick recovery from Calvin, who was having an excellent season at the highest World Championship level.
The vacant spot will, as mentioned, be taken by Glenn Coldenhoff. The Fantic factory rider is a very strong addition to TeamNL, which also consists of Jeffrey Herlings and Kay de Wolf. In the 2019 MXoN edition, which was golden for the Netherlands, Glenn won both heats, a repeat of the previous year in RedBud.
Season lock
The MXoN, the World Championship for national teams, takes place in the first weekend of October in the English Matterley Basin. In the run-up to this, the riders have an intensive program with three Grand Prix to look forward to. That will be the climax of the world championship.
Herlings is still fighting for the title in the MXGP and Coldenhoff has the top 5 in sight. Kay de Wolf is entering the end of the season in the MX2 with the best papers. He defends a lead of 61 points on the Belgian Lucas Coenen.
