It is a packed house here at Red Bud for the 2022 Motocross of Nations. Fans came out in droves to support Team USA and the riders are feeling the vibes, American or not. We’re on the ground to bring you all the action from the weekend. Be sure to scroll through this page to catch all the action
SUNDAY
Race One – MXGP & MX2
The first race of the day put the MXGP and the MX2 riders on track together. Track conditions were deep but still rideable as almost all the competitors still cleared every obstacle. Jago Geerts was credited with the holeshot by about half a bike length but was quickly overtaken by Eli Tomac going into turn two.
Tomac proceeded to lead every lap of the race despite consistent pressure from Geerts. The two Yamaha riders yo-yo’d back and forth but a few mistakes from Geerts late in the race allowed Tomac to inch away. The American began jumping Larocco’s leap late in the race and said that helped him stay up front. Geerts held on and was a close second. France’s Maxime Renaux stayed consistent all race and finished third.
The MX2 riders had their work cut out as the deep conditions robbed the bike’s of power. Hunter Lawrence finished eighth and was the top 250 rider in the field. Justin Cooper was just one spot back in ninth and Kay De Wolf was 10th. These were the top MX2 riders, going 8,9,10 in the race.
Tomac’s first and Cooper’s ninth puts USA in front with 10 points. Australians are second with 13 points from Mitch Evans and Hunter Lawrence finshing fifth and eighth respectively. Belgium is third with 14 points from Geerts’s second and Liam Everts’s 12th.

Race 2 – MX2 & OPEN
Racers from MX2 and the Open divisions took to the track for moto two. This put Justin Cooper and Chase Sexton on the line as rain began to fall just before the gate dropped.
Italy’s Mattia Guadanini took the holeshot over Sexton and Jett Lawrence. Justin Cooper crossed fourth, making him the first MX2 rider. As Guadanini led, Cooper and Hunter Lawrence tangled on lap one which put Lawrence on the ground while Cooper stayed up.
Sexton continued to pressure Guadanini and managed to make a pass in the Monza turn. He led all the way to Larocco’s Leap, when Guadanini hit the triple and Sexton doubled. This put Guadanini back in the lead with Jett Lawrence now in closing territory.
Jett slipped from third to first in one lap and never looked back. He passed Guadanini in the same Monza turn and checked out to an 11 second lead. This is Jett’s first race on the 450 and best case scenario for him. Chase Sexton got a pass done on Guadanini late in the race to secure second.
Justin Cooper held on for fourth in the moto, making him the top 250 rider in the field. A second and a fourth for Team USA keeps them in the runnings for the top country.
We can’t mention race two without talking about Dylan Ferrandis. The French rider fell in the first turn but worked his way to sixth at the finish. Ferrandis set the fastest time of the race coming through traffic and even fell on the last lap. Still, a valiant effort from the number-15.
After two races USA still leads over Australia and France.

Race 3 – MXGP and OPEN
Race three saw all the heavy hitters come together for the final moto of the day. This is the race that decides it all as the MXGP and Open class racers take to the track.
The two French riders, Dylan Ferrandis and Maxime Renaux, took off with the early lead over Chase Sexton. Beligan rider Jago Geerts fell in turn one which forced Eli Tomac back to 12th position.
Ferrandis and Renaux looked to be taking off and making up for lost points. They led about half the race until Ferrandis fell after the triple step up and handed the lead to Renaux. Sexton stayed close but was already in contention for the overall team win and didn’t want to throw that away.
With Sexton playing it safe, Jett Lawrence struck quick and made the pass for second. His lap times were about two seconds faster than the two leaders and he closed up on Renaux soon after. It looked like he would make the pass, but Renaux held strong and stayed up front for the win.
Tomac was the other American but also played it relatively safe in the final moto. After a poor start he worked his way up to sixth.
With their finishes in the final race, Maxime Renaux and Jett Lawrence earned their respective overall victories in the MXGP and Open categories. Justin Cooper was the day’s top overall MX2 rider.
Final results put the USA on top, Australia second, and France third.

SATURDAY
Free Practice – Highlight Video
Qualifying Race 1 – MXGP
Jago Geerts bumped up to a 450 this weekend and swept the field in the opening moto of the day. The Belgian led almost all of the race and held off a charging Eli Tomac at the end. Not bad for a 450 first timer.
Tomac got off to a top 10 start but had his work cut out for him as the others started a gap early on. One by one he picked through the field and made a daring pass late in the race to secure second. The pass came when Jeremy Seewer of Switzerland missed Larocco’s Leap. Tomac hit it and passed Seewer on the landing. Seewer came home third.

| 3. | Jeremy Seewer | (Yam) | SUI |
| 4. | Mitch Evans | (Hon) | AUS |
| 5. | Jorge Prado | (GG) | ESP |
Qualifying Race 2 – MX2
Justin Cooper absolutely decimated the field in the MX2 race. This comes as a surprise for some since Cooper was a bit of a wild card coming into this event. He led every lap of the 20+2 moto and logged another strong result for Team USA.
Hunter Lawrence finished second with Marvin Musquin third.
| 1. | Justin Cooper | (Yam) | USA |

| 4. | Guillem Farres | (Yam) | ESP |
| 5. | Andrea Adamo | (GG) | ITA |
Qualifying Race 3 – Open
Calvin Vlaanderen grabbed the early lead in race three over Dylan Ferrandis and Chase Sexton. Sexton quickly made his way past both riders and jumped into the top spot. He led nearly the whole race despite pressure from Ferrandis. A tip over on the final lap spelled disaster for Sexton as it allowed Ferrandis to slip through. Jett Lawrence, making his 450 debut, finished third.
2-1-2 finishes gave Team USA the lowest score and earn them the win in today’s qualifying race.
| 1. | Dylan Ferrandis | (Yam) | FRA |
| 2. | Chase Sexton | (Hon) | USA |
| 3. | Jett Lawrence | (Hon) | AUS |
| 4. | Ruben Fernandez | (Hon) | ESP |
