Team HRC set for a Motocross of Nations spectacular
By Team TMX on 23rd Sep 15
Just one week after the finale of the MXGP season, Gautier Paulin and Evgeny Bobryshev will both be back out in action in Ernee, France, representing Honda, HRC and their countries.
The Motocross of Nations selects the best three riders from each participating country for a head-to-head of national pride, and Paulin is once again representing Team France and Bobryshev Team Russia.
For Paulin, it will be something of an extraordinary homecoming. With Team France, he won the Nations last year when it was held in Latvia, so returns holding the number one plate. He also finished second in the MXGP World Championship, so will be met with a hero's welcome by his home fans.
Bobby also returns to duty with Team Russia having enjoyed his best ever MXGP season, finishing third in the world.
Both riders will be taking to the track on their factory Honda CRF450RW machines – the same that have taken the duo to a combined nine World Championship podiums in 2015.
Action on track gets underway on Saturday 26 September for practice and qualifying, and the gates drop for the three races on Sunday.
