Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing has announced it is withdrawing from the 2026 Motocross of Nations, sidelining both Haiden Deegan and Justin Cooper. The team cited the grueling SuperMotocross schedule along with the cost of shipping and converting bikes to FIM specification. Levi Kitchen and Garrett Marchbanks are among the names floated as possible replacements.

From what I've seen trackside, the cost of racing MXoN is bigger than people realize, shipping, FIM-spec conversions, rider fatigue, it all stacks up. Losing both Deegan and Cooper hurts, but a team choosing the crowded domestic schedule over this makes sense to me.

Some big name pulling out every year is basically tradition at this point

If Kitchen steps in, that's a matchup I'd genuinely want to watch

Didn't realize MXoN was a nations event, team selection sounds pretty complex

Factor in shipping and FIM conversion costs, and the team's call makes sense

A packed schedule also directly raises injury risk for the riders

Losing both Deegan and Cooper is a real blow, no question
