Team Canada got off to a rocky start with Colton Facciotti's 21st in the MX1 qualifier. Marco Dube was having a strong ride in his MX2 qualifier, holding down 15th, but a crash and difficulty starting his bike sent him all the way back to 28th. No stranger to high pressure races (remember the X Games?), Blair Morgan grabbed a good start in the Open qualifier and saved Canada's hopes of making the A Final, crossing the line in 6th. With rain in the forecast today, anything can happen, but you have to make the program to get your chance! Colton, Marco and Blair are all excellent mud riders so tune into the live broadcast to follow it live on MediaZone starting at 8:00 AM ET. Click here for more information.

Taking in the sights...

The track was perfect for Saturday's qualifying action.

There will be a national parade for Blair Morgan when he returns to Canada...

This safety worked opted for the face shield on the off chance that he would have to deliver a baby.

Where's Nik when you need him?

The American team must like the start gate.

The Motocross des Nations, quite a spectacle. Coming to Budds Creek, Maryland next year.

TFS is putting his pony tail to good use.

Is that Ryan Millar? Marco Dube was looking strong in qualifying action but went down and had difficulty starting his KTM 250F. Remember that he has not raced a 250F outdoors in quite a long time. He will get faster and faster as the weekend progresses and he gets more comfortable on the tiddler.

Now that's a motocross race!

Colton Facciotti got a flat tire in his practice session and was only able to do four laps. He had to race the first qualifier with basically no track time but still held down a top-20 finish for most of the qualifier.

Steve Simms is wrenching for Colton. GO TEAM CANADA!
