Another year has rolled around and it’s time to get the wheels in motion for New Zealand’s annual Motocross of Nations fundraising event – New Zealand’s Battle of the Clubs.

This event was kicked off as a fundraiser to assist the riders who attend the FIM Motocross of Nations, which is held in September each year.

FIM motorcycling associations are represented at the Motocross of Nations by a three-rider team who race in a combination for the coveted title.

Latvia is the hosting country for the 2014 Motocross of Nations event, set down for September 27 & 28.

It is the biggest race of the year and pictured here is a battle between former New Zealand Motocross of Nations team-mates Ben Townley (No.101) and Daryl Hurley (4) during last year’s Battle of the Clubs.

The Motocross of Nations will this year be held at the Kegums circuit in Latvia.
