Motocross of Nations 2026 – Ernée October 2/3/4
Four months before the event, Ernée is getting ready
One promotional offer ends on May 31st
Although there are still a little over four months before Ernée organizes the Motocross of Nations for the fourth time in its history, there are only a few days left to take advantage of the second promotional offer put in place by the club.
After the historic success of the 2023 MXDN, the club is already working tirelessly to prepare for the 79th edition of the oldest motocross competition!
At the end of September, having just returned from Australia where the MXGP World Championship final will be held, the teams will head to Ernée for this final outdoor event of the 2026 season. By then, the World Championship, which just stopped in France this past weekend, will have crowned its 2026 champions, while the various federations will announced their selections in early September.
After mountain biking, it’s time for the MX of Nations.
A few weeks ago, the Ernée circuit was packed with 184 teams competing in the Ernée Six Hours Mountain Bike Race, a classic event that enjoys great success every year. “This 6-hour mountain bike race was born from a desire to diversify our activities and from strong demand. We are fortunate to be able to have the competitors race within the circuit itself, and this year again we had a lot of teams for this seventh edition. Everything went well, in good weather conditions,” says Philippe Lecomte, the club president. Last weekend he was with his promotional team at the MXGP of France in Lacapelle Marival, and he was able to fully enjoy the races, which won’t necessarily be the case at the beginning of October. “Generally, when we organize a Grand Prix or the MXDN, we don’t really have time to follow the races, and not much time to sleep either! Even with good support and some experience, there are many demands on the day itself…and in the days before the event !”
A fourth Motocross of Nations in Ernée
Having already hosted three editions of the Motocross of Nations at the Raymond Demy circuit (2005, 2015, 2023), Ernée is actively preparing for the event. Building on the experience gained in 2023, when the attendance record for the event was broken, the club has implemented several measures to ensure the public enjoys the competition in the best possible conditions. “We have, of course, learned from 2023, so that everyone can enjoy the event in good conditions. In particular, we have built new platforms for the public, who were a little cramped in 2023. Regarding the campsites, we tested a new traffic plan last year during the GP, with two different access points depending on where vehicles are arriving from. This plan has been approved by the authorities and proved successful during the Grand Prix, so the city shouldn’t be blocked off on Friday evening as it was in 2023,” continues Philippe, who leads a team of over a thousand people! “We are fortunate to have a long-standing relationship with our institutional partners, who knew since last year that we would be organizing the Motocross of Nations this year. They were therefore able to set aside their support to back us; we know the situation is complicated for everyone, but the Motocross of Nations remains a unique event that will draw tens of thousands of spectators from all over the world. On the organizational side, we have 1,200 volunteers with us; here again, there is real enthusiasm, and the teams are already full. We are at full strength, and it’s very motivating; we’re in a fantastic dynamic! For now, everything is under control; we’re not going into the unknown, even though we know that at the beginning of September, when everyone returns from vacation, other problems will arise…..”
