Last weekend another epic edition of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations took place, where Monster Energy Kawasaki unleashed it's beasts.

Team France dominated for Monster Energy and Team Green, with all three riders, Gautier Paulin, Steven Frossard and Dylan Ferrandis taking MXoN glory. Meanwhile, Tommy Searle and Dean Wison, representing Team Great Britain, didn't do too shabby either with Searle winning the individual overall in MX2 and the team tying with USA for third (but ended up finishing fourth due to USA having the best race result on their score sheet with Dungey's second in race one). Other riders adding to the blurr of green ripping around the Kegums circuit were Team Australia's Chad Reed, most famous that weekend for cartwheeling down the start straight in the final race, and Team Switzerland's Arnaud Tonus.

The media team at Kawasaki Europe threw together a super sweet clip over the weekend. Click HERE to watch!
