Australia's youngest representative on this years 2017 Motocross of Nations team, Hunter Lawrence, believes that along with team-mates Dean Ferris and Kirk Gibbs Australia are capable of a top 5 finish when the event gets underway this weekend at Matterley Basin in the UK.
Billed as the biggest race of the year the Motocross of Nations sees riders representing their countries in teams of three with five results counting from the three races.
For the Suzuki World MX2 GP contender Lawrence, it will be a brand-new experience but as with everything that‰Ûªs happened to Lawrence in 2017, the youngster will take it all in his stride.
‰ÛÏBeing chosen to race for my country at the Motocross of Nations is pretty exciting," Lawrence enthused." I can‰Ûªt wait to get out there and get going. The track looks awesome, so I‰Ûªm pumped on that but we‰Ûªll see how team Australia get on. I want to say that Australia is capable of a top five and if we all ride how we can ride and get a bit of luck, I honestly think we can get on the box. I think we are a strong team and I can‰Ûªt wait to ride in what will be probably be the craziest race of my career so far.‰Û
