Japan’s MXoN Team

There was a little Japanese rider ripping at the FIM Junior Motocross World Championship in Belgium a few weeks ago, his name is Jo Shimoda and is looking to be the next Akira Watanabe after winning the final moto of the day to be crowned 2014 FIM Junior Motocross 65cc vice world champion!

Yesterday the Japanese motorcycling federation announced the trio of riders they will be sending for the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations which is set to take place in Latvia at the end of September. The team will be managed by Naoki Serizawa with riders Akira Narita, Takeshi Katuya and Yoshitaka Atsuta.
