Teutschenthal, in the former East Germany, and BikesportNZ.com was there to bring you exclusive photos from this year’s Motocross of Nations race, on-track action and photos behind the scenes.

Here we give you a teaser of what we have. More photos and, of course, more news from the big weekend, can be seen in upcoming issues of Kiwi Rider magazine.

Your reference for the photos below is as follows: Bike No.1 Max Nagl (Germany); No.2 Ken Roczen (Germany); Bike No.5 Jeremy Van Horebeek (Belgium); Bike No.8 Eli Tomac (United States); Bike No.13 Antonio Cairoli (Italy); Bike No.43 Rhys Carter (New Zealand); Bike No.44 Kayne Lamont (New Zealand).

One of the photos below show the significant “flying W” crash of Eli Tomac over the big hill jump, a feature of the track that is much steeper than photos or video coverage conveys.
