TeamNL has announced its selection for the 2026 FIM SidecarCross & QuadCross of Nations, which will take place on September 26 and 27 in Dardon Gueugnon, France.
The Netherlands will travel to France as the reigning champions in both classes. Following the historic Nations event in Heerde, TeamNL will therefore have a title to defend in both the SidecarCross and QuadCross categories.
In SidecarCross, the Dutch selection consists of Tim Leferink and Sem Leferink, Koen Hermans and Dion Rietman, and Julian Veldman and Rodolphe Lebreton. Koen Grondman and Ross Vincent are on standby as the reserve team.
For QuadCross, Mike van Grinsven, Joe Maessen and Delano Eijk have been selected. Mike Verboven has been named as the reserve.
The selected riders and teams were personally informed of the news by national team coaches Gert van Werven and Ingo ten Vregelaar over the past few days. The reserve teams are also fully part of TeamNL from the outset and will be involved in the preparations for France.
Over the coming weeks, everything will be focused on preparations for Dardon Gueugnon, where the Netherlands will once again compete for the highest honors in both disciplines.
