FXR made sure Marco Dubé was looking patriotic with his custom Team Canada MXoN gear. |

Great Britain's riders Tommy Searle (MX2), Billy MacKenzie (MX1), and Carl Nunn (Open) earned the country a ninth overall finish. |

Where's Waldo: Can you spot the Canadians? Colton Facciotti and Dubé work through the sea of media and spectators before getting to the start gate. |

King Stefan puts in his contacts before a moto. Think Everts will buy a new orange bandanna for his new job as KTM's MX Race Director? |

Everts (7) leads France's Sebastien Pourcel (4) and Finland's Antti Pyrhonen (31) around the first corner. |

The Fighting Irish were well represented in England. They will have a even bigger presence at the Des Nations in 2008, when the event comes to Ireland! |

Team USA's James Stewart rode two a second-place finish in the final moto to give his team the overall. I wonder if Ricky would have settled for second? |
|
|

|
Colton Facciotti ( or "Facciotto, as the Euros liked to refer to him as) struggled throughout the weekend until a solid ride in his final moto where he finished 25th. |
|

|
Dubé probably had the best bike out of the Canadian contingent: a factory KTM 250 SX-F. |

Canada's hero, again: Blair Morgan once again showed why he's earned the title, "Superman," in England. After securing Canada a spot in the A Final with a sixth, he went on to score a 14th in the final moto. |

I can't wait to be one of these crazy fans at next year's MXoN at Budds Creek in Maryland! |

RXC product tester, Rob McCullough, was an alternate for Team Canada. Just kidding! |

See you at the races! |
