MXGP MAG #121| 7th HEAVEN AS FRANCE BLITZ THE MXoN 76

WOW! JUST WOW!

POSSIBLY THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE THE 76TH EDITION OF THE MONSTER ENERGY FIM MOTOCROSS OF NATIONS AT ERNÉE, WHERE TEAM FRANCE SECURED ITS 7TH VICTORY IN FRONT OF A RECORD-BREAKING CROWD OF 102,000 FANS OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEKEND

The atmosphere was out of this world, the spectacle was amazing and the racing more than encapsulated the spirit of what the 'nations is all about. If you are French, then you are probably still feeling the after effects of the race even now, but even if you're a neutral, you cannot deny that the weekend was something special and possibly the best race we have ever witnessed so far, and will no doubt live long in all our memories, even for Australia and Italy, who joined France on the podium. 

Here's a snippet of how things went down over the course of the weekend.

After five consecutive MXoN's where the weather left a lot to be desired, you'd be forgiven for being one of those nervous weather-checkers' on the run up to this year's event, but you needn't have worried. By the time we arrived at the circuit on Wednesday, the long-range forecast was already predicting unusually summer-like temperatures well into the mid-to-high twenties. Nothing strange in that, except this was not July or August; it was October! Not that we were complaining though.

It meant that the Circuit Raymond Demy' would be dry with the racing set to be at a high tempo, something that was missing since 2016 and the last dry 'nations at Maggiora, Italy.
