Nations motocross cup to see quad and sidecar racing in France, Latvia to compete only in quads

The international motocross season is nearing its end, with one final major event remaining on the calendar: the Nations Cup, taking place this weekend in France. The competition will crown results in two separate disciplines — quad bikes and sidecars.

Latvian competitors have traditionally been competitive in both disciplines, often contending for strong results on the international stage. However, at this season's closing event, Latvia will only be represented in one of the two classes — the quad competition. Latvian crews will not take part in the sidecar class this time.

The quad riders are heading to France hoping for strong results, aiming to close out the season on a high note at the Nations Cup, an event that traditionally brings together the world's top teams and riders from various countries. The Nations Cup format allows each country to field its strength in the relevant discipline, meaning each nation's success is directly tied to the individual performance of its riders over the competition weekend.

As the season draws to a close, this event represents the last chance for riders and teams to improve their standing in the season's overall rankings or finish the year on a positive note. While Latvia will not have representation in the sidecar class this year, in the quad discipline the country continues to hold its place among the more competitive nations in this branch of motorsport.
