The Greatest Show on Earth is just weeks away
 The
dream is soon to become reality with ten times World champion
Stefan Everts, AMA champion Ricky Carmichael and the highly
anticipated James ‘Bubba’ Stewart having all confirmed
their participation in what many regard will be the best motocross
meeting ever.
With just over five weeks remaining until the greatest off
road motorcycle race visits these shores, it is all systems
go, go, go – ready for the arrival of the MX of Nations
at the Matterley Basin circuit near Winchester on 23rd / 24th
September. This is a meeting that has been billed as the USA
vs the rest of the World in more recent years and this year
promises to be no exception.
The sixtieth edition of the inter countries team race promises
to be an absolute epic and one not to be missed as it is simply
a once in a lifetime opportunity. Having benefited from hosting
the British MXGP at the same venue back in June, Promoters
Bike It have learnt much from their earlier experience and
have everything in place to serve up something very special
this time around.
Often regarded as the Olympics of MX, it is not difficult
to understand why, when you consider the potential battles
between Everts, Stewart and Carmichael on European soil. Having
dominated World MX for the last decade, Everts will be looking
to sign off in style in this his last ever fully competitive
outing, but Stewart and Carmichael will be showing no respect
to the Belgium legend as they look to maintain American pride.
From the home point of view, the British team will have their
role to play, and could just raise their game with the massive
patriotic support they are sure to receive.
A revised track that promises to be more spectacular and
technical will wait in store for the World’s best riders,
whilst the public will find a new parking, camping and entry
system that will improve the overall visitor experience. All
in all this is going to be the biggest weekend in the history
of British MX, so pack away your excuses and make sure you
will be there to be a part of it.
