Austria has announced its team for the 2026 Motocross of Nations in Ernée. Ricardo Bauer, who was crowned EMX125 champion ahead of schedule in Uddevalla, will make his MX2 debut in France. Michael Kratzer and Michael Sandner will compete in the MXGP and Open classes.
“With Kratzer and Sandner, we are fielding two strong riders from the Austrian Championship,” explained Austria’s team manager Karl Schmiedinger. “Ricardo Bauer is travelling to France as the newly crowned MX125 World and European Champion and will take on the international challenge of riding a 250 for the first time.”
Marcel Stauffer still injured
Of course, a rider like Marcel Stauffer would also have been the ideal choice for the race, but the Osicka-KTM rider is still struggling with a scaphoid injury that requires surgery. “Unfortunately, Marcel Stauffer is unable to compete due to injury. We wish him a speedy and full recovery,” the team’s statement reads.
