Today at the Grand Prix of Czech Republic in Loket, the 2011 French Motocross of Nations team was announced. 2010 MX2 World Champion Marvin Musquin will contest the MX2 class aboard his Factory Red Bull/KTM with Monster Energy Yamaha pilots Gautier Paulin racing the open (MX3) class aboard a 450 and Steven Frossard getting the nod to represent France in the premier MX1 class. With the 2011 Motocross of Nations taking place in France at St. Jean d’Angely on September 18th, Team France–with the home track advantage–will be among the favorites to possibly dethrone the Americans.
