Chad Reed will not be part of Team Australia at the 2015 Motocross of Nations in Ernee, France. Motorcycling Australia (MA) announced over the weekend that the team will consist of Todd Waters (MX1), Dean Ferris (Open) and Jay Wilson (MX2).
Reed decided not to take part of 2015 MXoN so he can prepare best he can for Supercross 2016 in January.
Chad Reed: “Still one of the hardest decisions i have to make each year To attend or to not attend MXDN? Made the tough call yesterday No MXDN for me”
“Putting on my countries colors isn’t something I take for granted But right now I’m focused on ME and how to show up in January the best ME”
Both Waters and Ferris, who compete in the FIM World Motocross Championship in Europe, missed the 2014 Motocross of Nations due to injury. They are currently eleventh and twelfth, respectively, in the MXGP Class.
The trip to France will be the first time Wilson will represent Team Australia at the MXoN. Wilson currently leads the MX2 Class in the MX Nationals in Australia.
