Behind Maxime Renaux's overall win in the 125cc Class and a second from Brian Strubhart Moreau in 85cc, Team France won the 2015 Junior Motocross World Championship in Spain this past weekend. Great Britain and Australia would round out the podium.
Due to a scheduling conflict with the AMA Amateur Motocross National Championship at Loretta Lynn's, defending champion Team USA were not represented in 2015. Loretta Lynn’s kicks off on July 29.
"It would be unreasonable to ask our motocross families, which invest significant resources into the national program, to also travel to Spain within a 10-day period,” said AMA Motocross Manager Kip Bigelow in early July when the announcement was made.
"I couldn't be more displeased with the scheduling conflict," Bigelow said. "The AMA has put forth great effort to support this event with a full team of our elite racers and crew."
The Dutch had a great showing in Spain, winning two of the three overalls. Raivo Dankers won the 85cc Class while Kay Karssemakers claimed the 65cc overall.
