The United States is the reigning champion of the Motocross of Nations, winning in 2010 when the event was held in Lakewood, Colorado. And for 2011 MXoN in France The American Motorcyclist Association has announced the three riders who will represent America: Ryan Dungey, Ryan Villopoto and Blake Baggett.
“America’s talent pool for motocross racers is the deepest in the world,” said AMA Supercross Director Kevin Crowther. “As demonstrated by their performances in this summer’s Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championships, these three riders are among the best that the United States has to offer. We’re confident they will do their country proud at this prestigious event.”
The Motocross of Nations is one of the most high-profile motorsport events in the world. It features national teams competing for a combined score to determine the overall championship-winning country. The event emerged in post-war Europe in 1947 and has run uninterrupted since that time. The United States is the all-time leader in Motocross of Nations overall victories with 21. Great Britain is second with 16.
