OCTOBER 6, 2024 MATTERLEY BASIN / WINCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM MOTOCROSS I FIM MONSTER ENERGY MOTOCROSS OF NATIONS P70 53 KAY DE WOLF 6-5 MX2 Kay de Wolf earned the title as the best MX2 rider of the day. "It all came down to the final race to get Team Netherlands onto the podium," he said. "We gave it our all, and I'm super happy with the result. The atmosphere standing on the podium in front of the huge Motocross of Na- tions crowds was amazing. Wrapping up the season with another gold plate as the highest MX2 finisher is some- thing very special." 19 JORGE PRADO 4-14 MXGP Jorge Prado started up front all week- end but later finished off the podium. "It's always an honor to represent Spain at the Motocross of Nations, especially at such a challenging track like Matterley Basin. The fans and the atmosphere have been amazing all weekend. I felt strong after qualify- ing first on Saturday, and getting my 149th holeshot was a great start to Sunday's motos. But unfortunately, I just couldn't find my rhythm, which was frustrating. It wasn't the result I wanted." MYOWNRACE Jett Lawrence won his first moto and later battled with fellow Honda rider Tim Gajser. Eli Tomac finished on the podium during both of his races, carrying Team USA to second overall, saying they stayed in the fight until the end.
