The 2019 Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations will take place this Saturday and Sunday in Assen, The Netherlands. Here are updated team rosters (and rider numbers) for the 73rd edition of the race, based off finishing order at the 2018 FIM Motocross of Nations (which determines the team's numbers).
This information is based on this post at the beginning of September about notable teams for this year’s event. Two MXGPs have been held since then, and some injuries and team changes have impacted the original rosters. We will add comments here for the teams that have been adjusted since our initial posting.
