Team Italy weren't the only ones, some of the other big-name teams suffered terrible gate picks at this evening's MXoN Mantova Ballot, including Team GB who are stuck with 16th. Although that is much better than the last time the Ballot was held when they were hit with a 33rd pick! Team France are in 19th and Team Belgium is 23rd.
If you think that's bad, Team Netherlands is 29th out of the Motocross of Nations Ballot. That being said, they were in a very similar position at the last Nations and that didn't stop them.
Team Ireland got a boost with a fifth gate pick and the top spot went to Team South Africa.
Spain, who are without Jorge Prado, is 22nd, Germany 25th and Finland suffered the last pick for Saturday's MXoN Qualifying races.
