SPAIN ANNOUNCES ITS TEAM FOR THE 2025 MOTOCROSS OF NATIONS

The Real Federación Motociclista Española has already selected its team for the 2025 Motocross of Nations (MXON), which will be held in Indiana, USA, on 3, 4 and 5 October.

The three riders who make up the Spanish team and will be fighting for glory at the Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville are:

Rubén Fernández – MXGP

Guillem Farrés – MX2

Francisco García ‘Carbonero’ – OPEN

Rubén Fernández will captain Team Spain, which will make its debut in the MXGP category at this prestigious international event, with a great opportunity to demonstrate its potential among the world's MX elite.

Meanwhile, Guillem Farrés will compete in the MX2 category, having had a brilliant season, achieving his first podium and a race victory. Finally, in the Open category, young Francisco García ‘Carbonero’ will make his debut, joining the team to cover for the last-minute withdrawal of Jorge Prado, who will not be able to participate due to his contractual situation with his current team.

With this line-up, Spain is once again backing a young and ambitious team that will travel to the US with the intention of fighting for a great result. The three riders will have the logistical support of their respective brands and official teams.

National team manager Paco Rico states that:

"Since the race in Lommel, we had already decided on the MXON 2025 team and finalised all the agreements with the teams to organise the logistics in the United States. Although the three selected riders had not had any setbacks, we did have to deal with health problems and injuries to other riders on my list, as well as the last-minute withdrawal of Jorge, who was of course on the team but will ultimately not be able to be on the grid.

Even so, I am convinced that we have a great team. Rubén takes on the captaincy with the challenge of proving his level in MXGP; I have complete confidence in Guillem, who I know can do a great job with the 250 in such a demanding race; and Francisco arrives with youth and hunger, which makes him a key player for us. I will have to reassure him rather than push him, because I know he will give 100% at all times.

I would like to give special thanks to Honda, Triumph and Kawasaki for their support, as well as to the RFME, for making it possible for this young and competitive team to represent Spain in the world's biggest motocross event."
