Being that Dungey was in the same pit area as Cairoli, Fox’s Chris “Beeker” Onstott—also a fan of Cairoli’s—had some fun, putting on a Cairoli hat and walking around. Here, he strikes a pose with Dungey’s mechanic Carlos Rivera.
Most of the mechanic’s from the U.S. brought along their special tools for the event. These were the ones set aside by Dungey’s wrench, Carlos.
Nearly every single rider was running a sand tire like the Dunlop pictured here found on the back of France’s Marvin Musquin’s bike.
This massive triple jump was found on the backside of the track, and to see the riders jump it in person was awe inspiring. If it were on a flat smooth track, the jump alone would be impressive, but add to that a rutted out, unpredictable landing that changes every lap, and you have the makings for one scary leap. Here, Musquin takes to the skies during practice.
Germany’s Ken Roczen has always performed well at the Motocross of Nations. In fact, this year was the third year in a row that he has garnered top honors in the MX2 class. In one moto, the young rider found himself as high as second behind only Jeffrey Herlings. At the end of the day, his efforts helped to secure Germany their first-ever MXoN team overall victory.
