finally....TEAM QUEENSLAND  

Australia will take a powerful line-up into the 2023 Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations (MXoN) in France from October 6-8, with siblings Jett and Hunter Lawrence to be joined by fellow Queenslander Dean Ferris at the annual teams’ showstopper.

sorry if already posted?

went back 4 pages and cld see nada!

but wait!  there's more...........

The triumvirate takes winning form into the MXoN, with Ferris (Yamaha) recently wrapping up a fourth MX1 title in the Australian ProMX championship, while the Lawrences stole the show on their factory Hondas across the Pacific in the AMA Pro Motocross series: Hunter easily winning the 250cc class and Jett utterly dominant in the 450cc division with a peerless, unbeaten season – 22 wins from as many starts. It was just the fifth clean sweep of the 450cc category since its inception, and the first by a rookie.

With stellar individual seasons etched into the record books, Ferris and the Lawrences now turn their attention to the high-stakes MXoN – an event where Australia has come tantalisingly close to victory in the past but without achieving the ultimate reward.

Last year’s MoN in America was a case-in-point, where the Jett-led Team Australia finished a close third behind the host nation and France. Australia also finished third in 2011.

With all three Aussies adding to their CVs in 2023 – Jett in the most emphatic, exhilarating fashion – Australian team manager Michael Byrne is an emboldened figure ahead of this year’s event at the 1.5km Ernee circuit, 300km west of Paris.

“The level of anticipation is high ahead of every Motocross of Nations is high, but this year it has gone to another level,” said the US-based Byrne, himself a former MXoN competitor.

“Hunter and Jett are in career-best form, and I continually marvel at the work rate, skill and temperament of Ferris – he’s the epitome of a tireless campaigner.

“The MXoN is a pinnacle event on the international calendar because it’s tough, pressure-packed and uncompromising – as it should be when the cream of the motocross crop from around the globe come together. I’m super confident Hunter, Jett and Dean will ride out of their skin and do Australia proud.”

Byrne will be supported at the MXoN by Gary Benn, who was previously a long-time Team Australia manager.

Hunter will compete in the MX2 class at the three-race MXoN, while Jett will take on MXGP duties and Ferris is in the Open category. All three classes compete against each other once, and a team can drop its worst result.

It will be the seventh MXoN appearance for Ferris, the fourth for Hunter and second for Jett.

The final entry list for the event will be released shortly, but will include all the European heavyweights such as France and Italy as well as New Zealand and the most successful team in MXoN history – America.

Go Queenslander!!

Isn't Ferris from NSW

Can’t wait to see my fellow Manitoban Ryder McNabb, along with all of Team Canada 🇨🇦 at this year’s MXON!! I think they have a very good shot at finishing well! Good luck guys!! 

Yeah but we won’t hold that against him.

Yeah kyogle, 1hour from the border!!

Would love an all QLD Team but as said above Ferris is from Kyogle so we will have to settle for Team State Of Origin go the Maroons and the Blues!

dunno..........

Kudos to Craig for going with limited time on the bike while everyone else doesn't want to or isn't allowed to go. Nice to have the defending champs lining up. 

PS: Germany gonna smoke you guys this year! 

1st France

2nd Ozz

3rd Merica’

4th Spain

5th Holland

How long has Craig been back on the bike? 

If RJ has a good day that team isn't so shabby

Where is the peoples champ ..deegan....

Soft, very un American....

BTW..  buy the merch

Disappointed in Deegan. Waving the American flag to generate cash but when it comes to representing his country he shows his true colours. Team USA looks great without him. Super happy that AP gets to go!

I think it's going to be close between France and Australia, but USA has a good chance at a podium. If they can finish on the podium that'd be a good accomplishment for AP, RJ and Craig.

Sorry if I've missed it, but have Japan announced their team yet? Is Shimoda going to France?

Japanese National clashes with the MXDN date, after it was changed, so no team Japan

I dunno man, I think a podium is gonna be a stretch. These guys are gonna get beaten by countries they didn’t know existed & by riders with names they cannot pronounce. 
 

I’m in the same boast as well, Team GBR hasn’t got a chance. 
 

Greece:

MXGP: #127 Andreas Andreou (Yamaha)

MX2: #128 Dimitris Bakas (Yamaha)

Open: #129 Athanasios Augeris (Yamaha)

Manager: Panagiotis Kouzis

Andreou is currently fourth in the Greek MX1 and normally rides a 250 2t by the looks of it. Bakas is currently second in Greek MX2 by about 70 points and Augeris rides in the lower level Open class in Greece, which he is currently second in.

The final round of the Greek series is the week after Ernee, which may have something to do with higher placed riders not being part of the team.

I wouldn't be that surprised if our guys finished on the podium.  I also wouldn't be surprised if they finished 10th . It's that kind of team . I'm just glad we sent one .
