Since the success of the 2018 Monster Energy FIM MXoN, everyone has been eager to see the event return to ‘America’s Motocross Track’, where home fans hope to see their local heroes Team USA back on the top step after an 11-year drought.
Team Manager Mark Chamberlain, in conjunction with the ACU Motocross Committee announced that the three riders selected to represent Great Britain will be Dean Wilson (MXGP), Max Anstie (MX2) and Tommy Searle (MX Open).
Team Great Britain are a team to look out for with Dean Wilson, Max Anstie and Tommy Searle representing the Union Jack in the USA. The British squad has some history too, having won the event 16 times and is second in terms of the most wins as a nation.
Wilson, Anstie and Searle are also the trio that began Team GB’s podium streak in 2017 at Matterley Basin where they finished third and since then, the squad has placed third for the last four events consecutively and will be looking to end their weekend with another medal to make it five!
Team Manager Mark Chamberlain commented; “As always it’s a tough decision deciding the Team line up for the Motocross of Nations but I honestly believe in my selection. This line up were the first of the current crop of British Riders to make it onto the podium and since we have had a great run over the past few years. I’ve got no doubt they will give it their all for the travelling British fans as well as everyone watching at home. They are all experienced in this event as well as the Red Bud track, so I feel it’s the right selection and want everyone to get behind the boys”.
A total of 34 teams, including special teams from FIM Europe and FIM Latin America, will participate in the 75th edition of the event with the action promising to be bigger and better than ever with a very competitive line-up that makes the podium hard to predict!
