Team France have named Marvin Musquin (MX2), Gautier Paulin (MX1) and Romain Febvre (Open) for their 2015 defence of the Motocross of Nations trophy.

This year’s MXoN will take place at Ernee, France, on the weekend of 27 September, with the home team potentially fielding the MXGP World Champion (Febvre) and 250 Class Pro Motocross champion (Musquin) if they can clinch the titles.

Febvre currently has an 84-point lead on Paulin in the MXGP standings after 14 of 17 rounds, while Musquin is four points behind reigning American champion Jeremy Martin with three rounds remaining.
