MXGP promoting group Infront Moto Racing has announced that the 2020 Monster Energy FIM Motocross des Nations scheduled to take place on the September 26-27in Matterley Basin, Great Britain, has been canceled. In Front said, “Despite all the efforts from the local organizer Steve Dixon and Infront Moto Racing, there is no other viable options but to cancel the 2020 edition of MXDN due to the Covid-19 pandemic.”

Additionally, Infront Moto Racing have received information from nearly all of the non-European MXDN teams normally attending the event that due to Covid-19 complications of travel and quarantine protocols, they will not be able to take part in this year’s event.
