The 2022 Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations is quickly approaching. With the conclusion of the wildly entertaining Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship and Monster Energy FIM World Motocross Championship, eyes are now turned towards the much-anticipated MXoN event set for September 24 and 25 at RedBud MX in Buchanan, Michigan. We have posted several of the confirmed rosters for the event, but Infront Moto Racing, promoters of the FIM Motocross World Championship, has now confirmed the entire list of teams and rider rosters.
As we have covered previously, defending Team Italy will run the #1 plate with Antonio Cairoli (MXGP) joined by GasGas riders #2 Andrea Adamo (MX2) and #3 Mattia Guadagnini (Open). Team USA will have Eli Tomac (MXGP), Justin Cooper (MX2), and Chase Sexton (Open) run #101, #102, and #103, respectively. The U.S. is hosting the event for the first time since the 2018 event—which was also at RedBud MX. Team USA has the most wins in history with 22 total, although the U.S. has not come home with the Chamberlin Trophy since 2011. Note: the 2020 event was cancelled due to COVID-19.
A few other teams/riders to note:
-Recently crowned two-time 250 Class Pro Motocross champion Jett Lawrence will make his debut on a 450cc machine for Team Australia, alongside his brother Hunter and Mitch Evans.
-Team Guam will consist of Americans Benny Bloss (MXGP) Josh Varize (MX2) and Sean Lipanovich (Open) all aboard KTM machines.
-Other AMA SX and MX riders scheduled to compete include:
- Dean Wilson | Great Britain
- Max Anstie| Great Britain
- Dylan Ferrandis* | France
- Marvin Musquin | France
- Fredrik Noren | Sweden
- Jo Shimoda | Japan
- Hardy Munoz | Chile
- Ramy Alves | Brazil
- Enzo Lopes | Brazil
- Benjamin Garib (Currently an A-level amateur) | Chile
- Guillem Farres | Spain
- Bad news for Ferrandis fans: Although Team France is yet to name a replacement, we are hearing that the back injury Dylan Ferrandis suffered at Budds Creek might take him out of competition.
-Jorgen Talviku, who raced serval Pro Motocross rounds this summer, will be competing on a Husqvarna for team Estonia.
-Two-time MX2 World Champion (2020 and now 2022) Tom Vialle is not selected to represent France. He has elected to skip the event to focus on his move to America for 2023. P2 in the MX2 class, Jago Geerts, will be racing for Team Belgium.
Below is the full press release from Infront Moto Racing, as well as the 34 official rosters.

Team France are also looking strong this year with Maxime Renaux, Marvin Musquin and Dylan Ferrandis, as well as Team Netherlands’ Glenn Coldenhoff, Kay De Wolf and Calvin Vlaanderen and Team Australia’s Mitch Evans, Hunter Lawrence and Jett Lawrence who will also be fighting for top positions.
This year there will also be two new teams entering the Monster Energy FIM MXoN, this includes FIM Latin America with Marco Atezana, Yarod Vargas and Franklin Noguera as well as FIM Europe with Bence Pergel, Julius Mikula and Pavlo Kizlyak.
