Team Germany has been forced to make a change to its final line-up for the Motocross of Nations in Ernée. Noah Ludwig will replace Maximilian Spies, who will be unable to compete in the prestigious international team event due to a serious neck injury.

Spies suffered a serious injury last weekend during the ADAC MX Masters in Vellahn. As a result, Germany had to look for a replacement. The choice fell on Noah Ludwig of the KTM Sarholz Racing Team, who will make his Motocross of Nations debut in Ernée.

Ludwig will compete in the Open class. Tom Koch will represent Germany in the MXGP class, while Valentin Kees will line up in the MX2 class.
