History was made today with the first ever victory for Team Australia in the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations, as the 77th Edition of the event took place at Matterley Basin in front of the packed gallery of fans who enjoyed an incredible spectacle of racing that will live long in the memory!
It’s no exaggeration to call this weekend’s event an instant classic, with stunning battles and individual performances that took the breath away, especially in the final race as excitement levels reached fever pitch with a last-ditch pass for individual glory amongst all of the team success!
The Australian team of Hunter Lawrence in the MXGP class, Kyle Webster in MX2, and the mercurial Jett Lawrence in MX Open delivered the consistent results necessary to fend off a strong challenge from Team USA, for whom Eli Tomac, Cooper Webb, and Aaron Plessinger scored enough for second overall, with the Team Netherlands trio of Jeffrey Herlings, Kay de Wolf, and Glenn Coldenhoff rounding out the podium.
Despite wetter conditions than yesterday, the track was universally more appreciated by the riders, and it delivered three memorable races for the spectators to savour!
