Welcome to THE DIRTY WEEKEND AHEAD, presented by SUZUKI , our weekly look at the events and riders that will be in action throughout the coming weekend.

From International Events and Races that Australians and even our New Zealand friends are competing in, to national events and even a list of as many local state events we can find.

INTERNATIONAL

Aussie Line Up: Chad Reed (MX1) Luke Clout (MX2) Matt Moss (MX3)

The biggest race of the year heads to Kegums, Latvia for the 2014 edition of the Monster Energy Motocross Of Nations.

Team Australia is well represented with Chad Reed, Luke Clout and Matt Moss ready to do their country proud. Team U.S.A will head in a big favorites with many of the other top nations missing key riders.

So who will challenge team U.S.A for this years title, apart from team Australia. The French team, though over looking recently crowned MX2 World Champion Jordi Tixier look strong, team Italy could do some damage even with Antonio Cairoli dropping into the MX2 class to race a 250F.

Reigning champs Belgium may be without key rider Clement Desalle, but they will still be super strong. Has much as we hate to admit it team Great Britain look strong and keep an eye on team Russia and the Swiss team for some surprise results.

Team Cananda and our friends across the water way in New Zealand also have strong line ups that should feature in Sunday's big event.

2014 World Speedway Grand Prix Round 10 - Stockholm

Aussie Line Up: Chris Holder, Troy Batchelor

World champion Tai Woffinden says his broken hand is on the mend as he bids to chase down FIM Speedway Grand Prix top dog Greg Hancock in the Tegeraå¨ Scandinavian SGP in Stockholm on Saturday.

The battle of the best Speedway riders has been a battle of attrition in 2014 with many of the top riders being forced to miss races due to injuyr. With just three rounds remaining for 2014, this weekends Scandinavian GP could prove pivitol.

NATIONAL

2014 Australian Safari - Western Australia:
Rodney Faggotter is on track to win his second straight Australasian Safari
Australia's fastest Safari comes to a conclusion this weekend at Kalbarri.

Yamaha's Rodney Faggotter has lead from start to finish and looks as though he will win the race for the second straight year.

Our Suzuki RM-Z 250 will be taking the next couple of weeks off as we take a small vacation. With the knowledge that we would be having a couple of weekends off, we ensured we spent as much time as possible racing our Suzuki last weekend, racing two classes at a local clubday.

The good news is we also have another race lined up as soon we return.

THAT's A WRAP
