"Thomas Kjer Olsen who currently sits third in the MX2 World Championship won’t be racing the Motocross Des Nations later in the year which is a shame.
Unfortunately, due to the event being in America and so far away, Denmark have decided against sending a team most likely due to the budget it will take for them to contest the event.
“It would be cool but actually Denmark is not going, it’s a little bit far away and it’s a long season for us. Not this year but we are looking to come back strong in 2019”. Olsen revealed in an exclusive interview – visit the site later in the week for the full interview as the Dane discusses Lommel and racing MXGP in the future.
With Denmark not contesting you have to wonder if countries like Slovenia will also consider not competing at the event." - GateDropMX

Feel like he would of had some good battles with AP, both have similar riding styles

Honestly the US should take notes and just not send a team when it’s not in our backyard until they fix the schedule or aid the financial burden.

But instead Youthstream and whoever else continue to make a shit ton of profit on the MXdN and seemingly ignore that there is clearly a financial burden put on these teams and it's all for what? Pride? Seems like a messed up way to make money to me.
Its why having the race in the US is a ball ache , because it costs all the teams a bundle that they dont have at the end of the year.
A Euro said it is a long season. Break out the violins. OMG.
And of course the family/ girlfriend should be paid by the rider. To think that the AMA should pay for that is crazy.
When Germany won in Lommel, 4 people got up on the podium. The 3 riders and the team manager.
