It’s the start of the Us Nationals at Pala in California on Saturday, where Tony Cairoli and Ryan Dungey are out of retirement and facing the likes of Ken Roczen, Eli Tomac and Dylan Ferrandis. And there will be British interest as the Husky team of Josh Gilbert and Charlie Putnam along with their French rider Florian Miot, as well as Dylan Walsh in the 250 class on his Revo Kawasaki. Check out the action from press day as our US media pals at Motocross Action, Swapmoto and Racer X, and Vital moto recorded what went on.
And while GPs often have around 20 riders on the start, check out the huge entry list for both US classes as lots of riders try to make it to the event.
