This September, more than 100 riders from 35 different countries will compete in the FIM Motocross of Nations in France. Team USA will return to defend their crown, but only one rider from the 2010 will be making the trip to France in 2011.
Ryan Dungey helped the USA team win the FIM Motocross of Nations in 2010, and this year he will anchor the team in the MX1 division. Dungey, who won the 2010 Motocross and 2010 Supercross championships, will be joined by Blake Bagget and Ryan Villopoto.
RV won the 2011 Supercross championship this year, and he is currently trying to duplicate Dungey's 2010 feat by winning this year's motocross championship. The USA team will be managed by dirt riding legend Roger De Coster.
The FIM Motocross of Nations will see a few more AMA riders on the grid this September. Chad Reed and Brett Metcalfe will be racing for the Australian team.
