Dunlop tyres were the choice of riders competing for the top three teams at the 2025 Motocross of Nations (MXoN), with the dominant all-Dunlop Team Australia leading Team USA and Team France at Ironman Raceway, Crawfordsville, Indiana, to take its second consecutive MXoN victory.

The prestigious event saw 32 of the world’s best motocross riders from 18 different nations choose Dunlop Geomax tyres, representing around one-third of the entire grid. Throughout the weekend, all Dunlop-equipped riders relied on Geomax MX14 tires on the rear and Geomax MX34 tyres on the front. This victory marks the fourth consecutive year that Dunlop-equipped riders have won the Motocross of Nations.

Team Australia, featuring brothers Jett and Hunter Lawrence alongside Kyle Webster, delivered a commanding performance all weekend to finish 14 points clear of Team USA in second. The trio’s consistency and teamwork secured the best overall result, with the Australians proving the team to beat from Saturday. The Lawrence brothers each dominated from Holeshot to Chequered Flag in their qualifying heats, and ultimately went on to take impressive victories in all three of Sunday’s races.

Second-placed Team USA, featuring Eli Tomac, Justin Cooper and RJ Hampshire - all successful in this year’s AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross series - were Australia’s closest challengers at their home MXoN. Despite all three of Team USA’s riders consistently running in the top ten during each of Sunday’s races - and Tomac finishing just five seconds behind victorious Hunter Lawrence in Race 3 - the Australians’ dominance left little doubt about the outcome by the end of the weekend.

Team France claimed third place, level on 33 points with Team USA, with its lineup of FIM Motocross World Championship (MXGP) title-winner Romain Febvre and Mathis Valin, both Dunlop riders, and teammate Maxime Renaux. This success means Dunlop-equipped riders secured eight of the nine available spots on the overall MXoN podium.

Dunlop riders from other nations also delivered strong performances throughout the day, too. Team Japan’s Jo Shimoda secured second place in Race 2, ahead of Slovenian privateer Jan Pancar. Liam Everts, contesting his first races on a 450 cc machine this weekend, helped Team Belgium achieve a solid fourth-place finish in the standings. The Husqvarna star rider brought home a 4-7 result in the Open class to guide his team to a 14-point advantage in fourth place.

In the individual category standings, Jett Lawrence, Kay de Wolf (Team Netherlands) and Hunter Lawrence each claimed the top position in the MXGP, MX2 and Open classifications respectively, further underlining the performance and reliability of the Dunlop Geomax range.

Wim Van Achter, Motorsport Manager, Dunlop Motorcycle Europe: “Congratulations to Team Australia for a memorable second consecutive victory at the Motocross of Nations. We saw very competitive racing from the Australian, American and French teams, amongst others, so their win is well deserved. We’re pleased that so many top riders chose Dunlop Geomax tyres, and today’s results underline the Geomax range’s performance credentials.”

In the FIM Motocross World Championship, including MXoN, as well as the North American Supercross and Pro Motocross series, teams and riders that choose Dunlop have access to a range of Dunlop Geomax motocross tyres. This range includes the sand-focused Geomax MX14, designed to provide traction on loose surfaces, and the latest addition to Dunlop’s Geomax lineup, the Geomax MX34 for soft to intermediate surfaces. At Ironman Raceway this weekend, all Dunlop riders were equipped with Geomax MX14 rear tyres and Geomax MX34 front tyres.

MXoN success crowns a landmark MX season for Dunlop
Dunlop’s 2025 motocross season has been one of unprecedented success, marked by dominant performances in both Europe and North America. In MXGP, Dunlop rider Romain Febvre secured his second FIM Motocross World Championship title two weeks ago in Australia, marking Dunlop’s long-awaited return to the top championship title in global motocross.

In the United States, Dunlop carried Team USA’s Cooper Webb to his third 450cc AMA Supercross title this year, extending Dunlop's impressive streak of winning all AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross titles since 2010.

In MX2, Kay de Wolf came within nine points of defending his world title at the season’s end, capping a stellar season that included Grand Prix wins in Argentina, Sardinia, Spain, Finland, Flanders, the Netherlands, and Australia. In the WMX category, Dunlop rising star Lotte van Drunen successfully defended her title, securing her second consecutive world championship and making Dunlop the tire of choice for 12 of the last 14 WMX champions.

Van Achter added: “Today’s results are the perfect way to close an exceptional season for Dunlop in motocross. Our riders and teams have shown the strength of the Geomax range at every level of competition. We are proud to celebrate another Motocross of Nations victory and look forward to building on this success in 2026.”
