Team Japan have confirmed the three riders they will be sending to the 2022 Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations in Red Bud, USA on the 24^th and 25^th of September!

Oshiro Kainosuke will head the team in the MXGP class. The 22-year-old was the Champion in all of the Japan MX2 class last season and later switched to MX1 for this year and is the most powerful rider in Japan with his first victory last month.

Shimoda Jo will participate in MX2, which is an important position as an ace. The 20-year-old Shimoda, has two wins in the AMA MX250.

Toriyabe Kota will participate in the Open category. The 24-year-old is the oldest rider on the team and has improved his skills by competing in the Australian Championships and is now in contention for the top spot at All Japan MX2.

In the past, Japan's best results were 6th place in France in 2000 and Belgium in 2003, with the team looking to put in another strong performance this time around in America.

Team Manager is former Suzuki Factory rider and JMX race director Takateru Atsuta, who is the brother of Yoshitaka Atsuta, who raced in MXGP from 2002 to 2005.

The team that will defend the colours of Spain in the most important race of the year, the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations, which, this year, will be held at the Redbud MX track in the USA on the weekend of September 24 and 25, has already been defined.

The three pilots selected by Paco Rico make us dream of achieving very important things. Captaining the Spanish army, in the MXGP category, will compete the two-time MX2 World Champion and Red Bull GasGas Factory rider, Jorge Prado. Rubén Fernández, the HONDA rider who also knows what it's like to get on the MXGP podium this year and who is demonstrating a very high level and magnificent state of form, will rider in the Open category, while the rider in the MX2 category will be Guillem Farrés.

The team will have as reserve rider José Antonio Butrón, current leader of the EMXOpen European Championship and champion of Spain in EliteMX1 this year, ready to defend, if necessary, the colours of Spain in any of the three categories as he has done so many times before.

Paco Rico, national coach: “We are possibly one of the youngest teams on the grid and made up of top-level drivers who can make us dream of everything this year. I hope you have a good day and can show your potential and involvement with the Spanish team. I am very clear that this new generation of riders has many numbers to take us to finally step on the drawer in these coming years. We have already seen Jorge and Rubén climb the podium together this year in MXGP and Guillem has shown his level internationally in MX2, something that has not gone unnoticed by the big teams and a very promising future awaits him. I am sure they will give everything to achieve a great result. I want to thank the total support and effort of the RFME so that the Spanish team is present in the MXON of the USA”.

Team Germany for the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations 2022 has been decided: Max Nagl (MXGP), Simon Längenfelder (MX2) and Tom Koch (Open) will represent the German team on Red Bud, USA at the end of September.

Marcel Dornhöfer and Karsten Schneider are the team managers nominated by the DMSB and take on the role of team bosses within a multi-person organizational group. Both will share the sporting and administrative tasks, which have become more and more diverse and extensive in recent years.

The Motocross of Nations, MXoN for short, is the most prestigious MX race of the year. This year's World Team Championship will take place on September 24th and 25th at the legendary American track "Red Bud", located near Buchanan in the state of Michigan. After 2018, the event returns to the place associated with spectacular jumps and great atmosphere around the track and the team squad is set. Max Nagl (MXGP, Krettek-Haas-Racing-Team), Simon Längenfelder (MX2, Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing) and Tom Koch (Open, Kosak Racing Team) will compete in the Monster Energy FIM MXoN Team Germany.

The team bosses Dornhöfer and Schneider would like to thank all the riders, partners and sponsors, without whom it would not have been possible to take part in the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations. "In order to realize such an appearance, you not only need a suitable budget, but also experience and manpower. Without the DMSB, ADAC and our sponsors we could not handle this event, so our big thanks go to all the supporters of the German team."

Roberto Rustichelli, Coordinator of the Motocross Committee FMI: “I think the 2022 Team Italy represents perfectly what we are doing as a Federation; a legend like Antonio Cairoli together with two young riders like Mattia Guadagnini and Andrea Adamo. Having the chance to see those three riders together makes me proud of the work we are doing with the Italian federation”

Thomas Traversini, Technical Committee of FMI: “We decided to choose those riders because we trust them 100% and we are sure that we’ll take good results; Antonio is a legend and lately showed everybody to be still one of the fastest guys in the world. Mattia is a strong guy and is getting used to the 450 and the speed of the bike and Andrea lately is always on the top 10 of the MX2 class and I'm sure he'll get good results. Last but not least I want to thank also Alberto that gave us the availability to keep him a reserve ”

At the end of September, Glenn Coldenhoff, Kay de Wolf and Calvin Vlaanderen will be behind the starting gate in the United States for the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations for Team Netherlands.

This year’s Motocross of Nations (MXoN) will be hosted on the RedBud MX track in the US state of Michigan; the same track where the Monster Energy FIM MXoN was held in 2018. Glenn Coldenhoff in particular has fond memories of that race, as he finished first there in both races in 2018. Something he did again in 2019 in Assen, where the Dutch team – including Calvin Vlaanderen – became the winners in front of their home audience.

Glenn Coldenhoff is enthusiastic about his participation: “Competing for the Netherlands is always something special and that I can do this for the tenth time is great!”

Calvin Vlaanderen also agrees: “I have no doubt that the Nations will bring out the best in me.”

Kay de Wolf, debuting in the Motocross of Nations, adds: “I am happy and grateful that I can make my debut in TeamNL.”

Barry Forschelen, team manager of the Team Netherlands, about his selection: “The well-known luxury of great Dutch motocross riders – with a full Dutch podium during the MXGP in Lommel as the highlight of this year – immediately imposes a heavy task for me, in my first year as team manager for TeamNL. Glenn and Calvin were chosen as they have the most experience with the team. They both know the circuit in RedBud and they were also part of the historic MXoN victory for the Netherlands in 2019. For the young, talented Kay de Wolf, this is the ideal opportunity to make his debut during the MXoN.”

The Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations will take place on Saturday, September 24 and Sunday, September 25 at RedBud MX in Buchanan, Michigan, United States.
