We suggested yesterday that following the cancellation of the Motocross of Nations at Glen Helen in 2017, the MXoN could well be much closer to home – namely Matterley Basin. Well, the news has developed quickly and it’s great news for British motocross fans.

Youthstream has today confirmed in a press release that Great Britain will indeed host the 2017 Motocross of Nations at Matterley Basin in Winchester, but it could return to the USA very soon.

More when we get it but for now here’s the full press release:
