eam Australia announced its team for
the 2025 running of the Motocross of
Nations, which will take place at Ironman
Raceway in the United States on October
3-5. The defending champions, Team Aus
-
tralia, will return with, of course, brothers
Jett and Hunter Lawrence, and third rider
Kyle Webster.
"The memories of last year's victory in
England are still so vivid," said team man
-
ager Michael Byrne. "It was a very emotion-
al day, not just for Jett, Hunter and Kyle, but also
for former Aussie MXoN heroes who were also at
the event. It was a sweet victory for the sacrifices
that so many people have made over the last five
decades trying to win the Chamberlain Trophy."
Last year's victory was the first time Team
Australia won the prestigious event, so it's no sur
-
prise to see the Aussies choose the same three
riders for this year's race. Currently, it remains
undecided which class they will compete in.
The AMA has not yet announced who will rep
-
resent Team USA.

derway on Sunday, July 27.
After 333 miles of dry and dusty conditions,
175 miles of which were special stages, Honda
rider Martin Duplessis took the win on day one,
followed by Honda's lone HRC' rider Tosha Scha-
reina, who had to work his way up through the
field after getting lost during Saturday's Prologue,
giving him a late starting position in 38th. Honda-
mounted Bruno Crivilin took third. Yamaha rider
Gabriel Soares and Honda-mounted Romain
DuMontier rounded out the top five.
Schareina was impressive in his ride to the
front of the leading pack. "It was the dustiest day
of my life!" he said. "I started in 38th position and
managed to pass around 30 walkers. It reminded
me of MX style during that 300K special stage.
It was very difficult, very complicated navigation,
very slow in some parts, more like Enduro style."
Schareina carried his momentum into day two,
winning stage two over Duplessis and DuMon

tier. Gabriel Bruning finished fourth, followed by
another Yamaha of Soares.
