2010 Motocross of Nations: USA Preview

The biggest Motocross event of the year, the Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations, has come to its 64th edition which will see the "Olympics" of Motocross come back to the United States of America and make its first appearance at Thunder Valley Motocross Park in Lakewood, Colorado.
World MX1 Motocross Champion Tony Cairoli of Team Italy and World Supercross Champion Ryan Dungey of Team USA will give battle to the rest of the 32 Nations entering the event.
Last time the event was in the USA it was in 2007 when Team USA took an incredible home win at Budds Creek, Maryland.
Home Team USA is actually on a winning streak since their 2005 victory in Ernee, France, but among the 32 teams entered in the event there are several ones looking to beat the most successful team at the Motocross of Nations.
Second last year, France is the first on the list of those wanting to beat USA, followed by third placed in 2009 Belgium, Germany, Great Britain, Italy and several more all to battle amongst each other this weekend.
Following their dramatic win at Franciacorta, Italy, last year, Team USA is ready to defend the Chamberlain Trophy this year on their stomping grounds. For the Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations' comeback to the USA, Team Manager Roger De Coster kept last year's MXoN debutant Ryan Dungey and added 2010 AMA Nationals Lites Champion Trey Canard (MX2) with Colorado's Andrew Short (Open) completing the team, both to make their first appearance at the event.
Dungey made a stunning debut in the FIM Supercross World Championship by winning the Title straight away onboard his 450cc Suzuki, the same bike he used to win the AMA Nationals later on in the year and give Roger De Coster his last two Titles on Suzuki-"The Man" joining KTM next year.
