MX of Nations 2015 - Honda, Gautier Paulin and Team France take Motocross of Nations crown!

In front of a capacity crowd in Ernée, at home in France, Team France sent the atmosphere into overdrive with a hard-fought victory at the Motocross of Nations, successfully defending their crown.

Cleaning up in the qualifying races yesterday with three straight wins, the team looked dominant from the outset, but faced intense competition from Team USA today.

On the CRF450RW that carried the no.1 plate from last year’s victory, #gautierpaulin put in a pair of stellar performances on home soil to contribute to his team’s victory.

Often called the Olympics of motocross, the #event exceeded all hype with an electric atmosphere as the capacity crowd willed on the French trio of Paulin, Marvin Musquin and Romain Febvre. With two wins, third, fourth and fifth from today’s races, not including the one permitted dropped round, Team France ensured the crowds raised the figurative roof with victory by a narrow two points.

On the other side of the Team HRC garage, #evgenybobryshev lined up for Team Russia and had, personally, just as much to be happy about.

Delivering two of his best performances of what was already his best season in #mxgp, Bobby rode exceptionally to deliver a well-deserved second and fourth. The team’s best points-scorer, Team Russia finished twelfth overall.

Top five:

1 Team France – 14pts

2 Team USA – 16pts

3 Team Belgium – 56pts

4 Team Estonia – 66pts

5 Team Switzerland – 67pts
