Spring Creek Motocross Park in Millville, Minnesota, is one of the few sandy tracks in the USA. The weather forecast for Round 7 of the US Nationals is for summery warmth, with temperatures of 30 degrees and sunshine.
Eli Tomac returns
Red Bull KTM factory rider Eli Tomac is back in action following the neck injury he sustained at the season opener of the US Nationals.
Antonio Cairoli back in action
The nine-time world champion from Sicily will be competing in his third US race of the 2026 season in Millville. A week ago in Southwick, he finished the first race in 15th place, was running in the top seven in the second race, but was forced to retire due to a technical fault. Kosak-KTM rider Roan van de Moosdijk has concluded his US tour and has set off on his journey home to Europe.
Recommendations
Hunter or Jett?
Following his victory at Southwick, Jett Lawrence has now reclaimed the championship lead. As things stand, the two Australian brothers are set to battle it out for the title between themselves, but Haiden Deegan is now keeping up well with the pace of the frontrunners. For Jorge Prado (KTM), the sandy conditions at Millville present a good opportunity to prove his potential and secure a podium finish.
