The Fox Holeshot Winners – 2021 Monster Energy FIM MXoN Edition!

The 2021 edition of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations has concluded in Mantova, Italy. Once again, the event was nothing short of epic with intense battles from start to finish. And while nations fought hard for the Chamberlain Trophy, there was another special prize up for grabs – that is the Fox Holeshot Award!

Starts are always a fundamental part of any race but even more so at the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations as each team fight for every possible advantage. And with many riders joining us for the race weekend from all corners of the world, it gave the opportunity for somebody new to have a shot at winning the Fox Holeshot competition.

In the first race (MXGP/MX2) it was Team Switzerland’s Arnaud Tonus who was the first rider to reach the first corner and claim the first Fox Holeshot of the day, while in race two (MX2/Open) it was his fellow countryman Valentin Guillod who led the rest of the field. In the third and final race of the day (Open/MXGP) it was Team Great Britain’s Ben Watson who secured the third Fox Holeshot, helping his team to a podium finish for the fourth consecutive time!

The winners of the Fox Holeshot Prize not only got the advantage of getting out front in the races but were also awarded with a prize cheque presented by the team at Fox Racing.
