Youthstream and the FIM have officially released the 2017 Monster Energy Motocross of Nations (MXoN) entry list, featuring 39 teams to line up at Matterley Basin in Great Britain on 1 October.

Team Australia’s Dean Ferris (MXGP), Hunter Lawrence (MX2) and Kirk Gibbs (Open) will wear numbers 22, 23 and 24 respectively in what is a considerably strong team on paper.

The defending champion French team is due to field Gautier Paulin (MXGP), Dylan Ferrandis (MX2) and Ramain Febvre (Open), with last year’s runner-up Netherlands featuring Glenn Coldenhoff (MXGP), Brian Bogers (MX2) and Jeffrey Herlings (Open).

USA will field an all-new combination of Cole Seely (MXGP), Pro Motocross champion Zach Osborne (MX2) and grand prix regular Thomas Covington (Open), while the Belgian and Italian squads will also be major threats for victory.
