This year again, Team Spain will be one of the strongest team behind the gate of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations. The reigning MXGP World Champion Jorge Prado will wear the red and yellow colors in United Kingdom on 4-5-6 of October 2024 with the Factory HRC rider Rubén Fernandez back in business since the MXGP of Switzerland presented by IXS and the impressive Oriol Oliver who is now a top 10 rider in MX2 World Championship.
Team Spain
MXGP: Jorge Prado #19
MX2: Oriol Oliver #20
OPEN: Ruben Fernandez #21
David Braceras and Jose Butron has been named reserve riders.
Paco Rico, National MX Coach: “It is obvious that due to the level of our international riders, the two 450 spots would be filled by Rubén Fernández, who has recovered from his injury, and of course, without a doubt, the current world champion Jorge Prado as captain of the Spanish team in MXGP. In MX2, Guillem Farrés will be unavailable again due to injury and this year Oriol Oliver will be the one to defend the colours of Spain again, after proving that he is ready for the occasion following his good season. David Braceras will be our reserve rider in MX2 and José Antonio Butrón in the MXGP/Open categories. With this team we have the desire and the hope of once again fighting head to head with the best countries in the world, trying to raise the Spanish flag as high as possible and making all the Spanish fans enjoy this beautiful and special race that is experienced in such a different way to the rest.”
