With the American Des Nations team in limbo over fielding a three rider line up at this years event, former GP and AMA top rider, Zach Osborne has offered his services to race the event.
Aaron Plessinger and RJ Hampshire were thought to be locked in for the American team but they have problems fielding an MX2 rider with a number of riders changing brands heading into 2024.
Osborne might not race at the highest level anymore but was a GP rider for a number of years and has even represented America at the event in the past – it’s good to see he still cares! Perhaps a few of the younger American riders should have the same attitude as Osborne towards the event.
“For the record, I have offered my services for MXdN and I’ve also offered to pay my own way with good equipment. I may not win but at this point it’s about getting a team to the race and showing we have the pride to at least be there”, Osborne revealed on social media.
