Team Switzerland is ready!
Switzerland is one of the first nations to announce its three-man lineup for the upcoming
upcoming season highlight Motocross of Nations in the American Red Bud! Quite early has
Daniel Zollinger addressed all the current problems, such as the distortions in the logistics sector or the generally rising costs. He made contacts, held talks and did a lot of convincing. The result is because his plans and ideas obviously appealed to the Swiss federation FMS as well.
Swiss Federation FMS. The Motocross Commission now nominated the following three riders, who will represent the Swiss colors on the last weekend of September at the FIM Monster Energy Motocross of Nations:
-Jeremy Seewer: Not surprisingly, the most successful Swiss rider in the Motocross World Championship for years now has been nominated. The down-to-earth, soon to be 28 year old four-time runner-up in the world championship and, after overcoming health problems, recently won another Grand Prix in the elite MXGP class.
-Valentin Guillod: Another safe choice is the nomination of the 29-year-old from the
French-speaking Swiss. The veteran dominates the domestic championship in both classes, as he did last year. Championship in both classes and only just missed out on the French championship and only just missed out on a title in the French championship.
-Kevin Brumann: The 18-year-old is the youngster in the otherwise experienced squad, but the performance curve of the Belgian by choice – he lives and trains in Lommel with his mentor and coach Max Nagl – knows only one direction: up! The powerfully built lad is now scoring points regularly in the MX2 World Championship and could well be good for a surprise.
All in all, team boss Zollinger has assembled a highly interesting trio in which the mixture of experience - Seewer and Guillod already competed in the 2018 MXoN at the same location in Red Bud, for example - and carefree youth could make for a promising mix. Since Guillod is also a specialist in both displacement classes and youngster Brumann recently showed an amazing performance on the "big" bike, this opens up completely new perspectives for the team boss in terms of team tactics. In other words: Who exactly will start in which class could perhaps only be decided at very short notice. Practically, all three pilots are on Yamaha, which was certainly helpful in the planning phase and which Daniel Zollinger would like to underline once again with a heartfelt thank you to the blue teams involved. The official team presentation will take place, subject to reservation, at one of the following European Grand Prix.
I could for sure see Switzerland beating some of those teams, but it seems like the MXoN field is really deep at the moment so a top 5 for them I'd say is a tall order.
Solid team that could sneak into the top 5-7 if all does well.

He'll be fine. I think a top 5 is in the cards with a bit of luck and if all 3 riders have a good day.
