Motocross of Nations in France is an experience, so let's just start off with the vibes...
Questionable...
The trophy on the left? Odd. The trophy on the right? The one every rider wants to hoist at least once in their career.
The ballot draw on Friday can be invigorating or downright depressing.
Even with 31st draw, Spain did just fine...
The paddock at a European-based MXoN has an extra bit of wow factor. Alpinestars brought their MotoGP hospitality rig.
As did Yamaha, borrowing this unit from their Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP team.
These units have some major power needs.
KTM had a "fishbowl" to show off their Motohall museum.
As for this Red Bull unit, we're not quite sure. It's not their F1 unit (that thing is like a mini city) and it's not from the Red Bull MotoGP team. Wherever it's from, we wish we saw these more often.
Triumph's hospitality unit used to belong to a Moto2 team.
The Netherlands had their own trailer for team activities.
Seas of people in Ernee.
Team USA was back to being fully pitted together.
Kitchen's helmet in red, white, and blue.
The full kit.
Cooper Webb's new Husqvarnas were built and supplied out of KTM's US racing headquarters, then equipped with some different goodies via the Tedder operation. It'll be interesting to watch this program develop as it builds towards A1.
For MXoN, Webb was aboard the current-generation Husqvarna, but will switch to the new chassis ahead of the 2027 season.
For a last minute kit, we approve.
This was the look on our faces as well when we realized Belgium was legitimately on their way to taking victory this year.
The moment when it all sinks in is something to see.
So many cameras.
Congrats to Lucas, Liam, and Sacha.
And to their leader, Joel Roelants.
Let it all out.
A great way to close the MXGP chapter of their careers, as the Coenens move to the USA for the 2027 season.

Feet on the pegs? Not needed when you're Sacha Coenen.
Andrea Adamo has been racing the upcoming generation of Austrian equipment in full guise for the majority of 2026.
CNC'd engine mounts.
Beaumer's frame can give you a bit of insight against Adamo's just above.

The new KTM in action.
Team Australia had a completely new lineup for 2026 to defend the number one, two, and three plates.
Beaton and Tanti represented the team on their 450s via Craig Dack Racing.
Fox had the Aussies dialed.
Completely dialed.
Michael Byrne continued his team manger duties for Australia.
Again, Fox knocked it out of the park with their MXoN kits...
The Hoff was back as a last minute call up.
Coldenhoff was able to secure a 250 from Yamaha's MX2 program, Hutten Metaal, which is shutting down operations after this race.
Guess who's lid.

Again, another top notch Fox kit.
Romain Febvre and Team France experienced a weekend that Team USA is all too familiar with. Coming into the race with one of the if not the strongest team on paper, and everything that could go wrong, went wrong.
Yes, the Desmo 250MX was on site.
Ray Archer captured one hell of a sequence here. Scroll through the big moment for Tom Vialle.
Honestly, pretty amazing that Herlings avoided this.

Unlike the US, where teams service their suspension with their own technicians inside their own rigs, KYB and other suspension brands have their own service trucks and staff.
We'll take one.
Mikkell Haarup had one last race alongside the US side of the Triumph Factory Racing team, albeit cut very short after free practice.

This setup has become a bit cleaner since the last time we looked.
The GET LCD is unique to the US Triumph team.
Electronics is one place where the Triumph programs really differ. The US operation uses GET...
While the GP program uses Motec.

Guillem Farres' championship winning MX2 machine.
The KYB works forks and shock on his 250 aren't legal via the US rules.
Yamaha showed off the latest generation of their YE-01 electric project.
We like that tagline.
Honda also brought out the latest iteration of their CR Electric bike, which was showcased alongside Yamaha's bike during an intermission.
