Australia

History was made this year over a weekend in early October in Great Britain when the Australian trio of Jett Lawrence, his brother Hunter and Kyle Webster raced to their country’s first-ever victory in the FIM Motocross of Nations (MXoN).

An annual event to decide the sport’s leading nation, the MXoN dates all the way back to 1947 and the honour roll of riders who have represented their country reads like a who’s who of Motocross’ greatest legends.

Inspired by the prodigiously talented Lawrence brothers, Australia was third in 2022 and second las tyear and at Matterley Bas in this time around the team brought the thunder from Down Under to continue this progression to its logical conclusion with a polished performance that hit the headlines around the world.

At twenty-one the younger of the Lawrence siblings, Jett–Honda led from the front to dominate the Open class and the multi-time American champion would have won both his races, but for an audacious final corner pass by Slovenia’s Tim Gajser, while twenty-five-year-old Hunter–Honda was fourth in MXGP.

With Webster–Honda taking a rock-solid sixth in MX2, their combined efforts gave them the title by three points ahead of the USA.
