RacerX has reported that the USA will send a team to the 2005 Motocross of Nations to be held on Sept 24-25 at Ernee, France.
The team of Ricky Carmichael, Kevin Windham, and Mike Brown was announced at an official AMA Pro Racing press conference last Saturday afternoon at the Thunder Valley, Colorado.
RacerX reported that Brown will race MX2, Carmichael will race MX1, and Windham will race MX3/Open. As the only non factory supported rider, it has not yet been decided who will prepare Brown's bike, but it looks like he will get plenty of support.
Roger DeCoster will once again be the team manager. DeCoster also spoke at the press conference and talked about the extra work this event takes. He confirmed that it takes an extra two or three weeks, and says it‰Ûªs hard to schedule in because of the expanding domestic schedule, but he added, "There is a business side and a sport side, and we shouldn't forget the sport side."
