2024 MXDN QUALIFYING RESULTS

The 2024 Motocross des Nations in Matterley Basin is on its way. Qualifying went on Saturday with optimal weather conditions. Team USA was not one of the teams that stood out. Eli Tomac mentioned on press day that the Matterley Basin track looked a lot like Steel City, but when the wheels hit the dirt it was always a lot different. Teams that look good were France, Australia (due to the Lawrence brothers) and Spain.

In the Open class, it was the Australian Jett Lawrence who took the Qualifying race win with a 6-second lead over Spain’s Ruben Fernandez. American Aaron Plessinger finished 6th.

The MXGP class was the 2024 MXGP World Champion Jorge Prado with the qualifying race win by 5 seconds over Tim Gajser. Team USA’s Eli Tomac was 7th.

Cooper Webb stepped down for the American team to race the MX2 class and finished 7th in the MX 2 qualifying race with France’s Tom Vialle taking the win.
