2019 MOTOCROSS OF NATIONS | COMPLETE COVERAGE
And it’s confirmed. Just before the start of the motos at the 2019 Unadilla Motocross, the AMA and MX Sports announced the lineup selected to represent Team USA at the 2019 Motocross of Nations will be Jason Anderson in the MXGP class, Justin Cooper in the MX2 class, and Zach Osborne in the Open class. For Osborne and Anderson, the selection is a much-desired second shot at the Chamberlain Trophy after their past experiences at the international event (Anderson in 2016 at Maggiora, Osborne in 2017 at Matterley Basin). For Cooper, it’s an honor for a second-year pro that has shown class-leading talent. Osborne will serve as the Team Captain while Roger DeCoster returns to his role as Team Manager.
In an attempt to avoid the struggles that Team USA has faced in recent years, all three riders and their support crews will spend an extended amount of time in Europe prior to the event. The current plan is for riders, bikes, and parts to make the trip across the Atlantic the week after the final round of the 2019 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship and will put in practice sessions at the deep sand tracks that are scattered throughout the Netherlands and Belgium.
The 2019 Motocross of Nations will run at the famed Assen TT motorcycle venue on a specially built sand course, a first for the historical event. It will take place from September 27th to the 29th.
Is there anywhere the fans can contribute to the effort? Or somewhere we can purchase apparel?
