Rider Selection Process

The Team Manager will make the rider selection. This is consistent with the practice of other participating countries. There are 3 classes at the MXoN:

MX1 250 cc
MX2 450 cc
MX3 (Teams choice)

 

When selecting riders the manager will consider:
  1. #1 and #2 MX1 riders from current National Series
    #1 MX2 rider from current National Series

  2. Canadians racing in the USA or Europe with good results

  3. Riders finishing in the top 10 of the National Series

The Manager will contact candidate riders and ask their willingness to participate in the event.

 

The Manager will contact the Teams and supporting sponsors of the candidate riders to determine their commitment and level of support.

 

The Manager will review candidate rider results and experience, teams and supporting sponsors level of support and consult with individuals in the motocross community when making final rider selection.

 

The Manager informs the CMA of the rider selection for final approval.
