Photos: Red Bull Motocross of Nations Race Action


The dust has settled on the 2010 RedBull FIM Motocross of Nations, and once again it was the U.S.A. that came out victorious. Held at Thunder Valley raceway in Lakewood, Colorado, this year's event was deemed a huge success on several fronts - the racing, the crowd, the track and facility itself were beyond criticism (for the most part), and the 2010 version of the Motocross of Nations will go down as one of the best in recent history.


As the first moto gets underway to kick off Sunday's A finals, Team USA experiences mixed results. With Dungey toward the front, all eyes go to the #2 of Trey Canard who's about to go down in a heap with Team Puerto Rico's Zach Osborne on the far inside. Canard was able to charge all the way back up to 12th overall (in the combined 250/450 class), and 3rd in class, which was certainly a valiant effort considering how long it took the two to get untangled. Osborne didn't fare quite as well, although 15th overall for the moto and 5th in class was nothing to be ashamed of either.

Andrew Short was a holeshot machine all weekend, nailing the front spot each of the three times he raced up the hill over the two days. Just behind him here is Ben Townley (33), who would later put a move on the Colorado native that had many of the fans up in arms, as he appeared to blatantly take him out in a corner later in the race for the 2nd spot. Townley went on to win the moto, with Shorty eventually getting up again (sans a clutch lever) to end up 13th overall. Since the lowest score of the team is dropped, this poor result did not count in the determination of the team's results for the day.
