Japan's national team for the "Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations (MXoN)," taking place October 2-4, 2026, has been finalized. The lineup features Okura, Oshiro, and Yokoyama. Japan's top riders will take on the sport's premier international team competition.
Racing for your country is completely different from ordinary racing. I know the weight of that 'representing your nation' firsthand. Individual riding directly ties to the team result, so a single mistake shifts the whole country's standing. How Japan's three riders perform under that pressure - I want them to steel themselves and take on Czech Republic in October.

Does the Motocross of Nations actually rotate host countries every year?
A nations-cup format gets exciting in a different way from individual races, so this should be worth watching.
I'm always a little curious about what the actual criteria are for picking the national team.
Curious about what class each of the three riders is actually assigned to.
Looking forward to seeing how far these three can go at the top level of the nations cup.
Once the Japan team lineup is announced, anticipation for MXoN jumps all at once.
Honestly, this looks like it'll be a tough fight against the powerhouse nations, in terms of how far they can actually push.
