France confirmed its team for the 65th edition of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations over the weekend at the Grand Prix of the Czech Republic.

The team will feature Steven Frossard in MX1, Marvin Musquin in MX2 and Guatier Paulin in MX3 as he steps up to the 450 for the one-off event at Saint Jean d’Angely on 18 September.

Olivier Robert, team manager of the French squad, announced the official team yesterday and admitted that everybody is very motivated to do a good performance in the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations, which will take place on their home soil.

Frossard, third in the FIM Motocross World Championship, will represent his country in the MX1 class and he is convinced that they have a big chance to be at the top of the rostrum.

The MX2 class will be represented by Musquin, who is very excited to be back in the team and race against the best motocross riders in the world.

Paulin will represent France in the Open class, as he did in Franciacorta in 2009. Paulin will start testing the 450cc bike next week, but he will keep on riding the MX2 class until the end of the season.

The 65th edition of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations will take place in Saint Jean d’Angely, France, during the 18 September weekend.
