This weekend Kramolin in the Czech Republic plays host to the 2022 Quadcross of Nations tournament, and there is a real sense of excitement ahead of the event with the EMX Quad regulars are welcoming the all-conquering USA team back to do battle.
The Quad brigade is coming in force with seventeen teams of three, so expect four-wheeled fireworks, especially with the Americans back in town. In 2019, the USA team was sensational on their way to victory in Schwedt, with only Chad Wienen returning for more. His new team-mates Bryce Ford and Joel Hetrick will face stiff opposition from a few nations, with the Netherlands and Norway probably top of that list.
Newly crowned EMX Quad Champion Kevin Saar leads the charge for Estonia, with arch-rival Chris Tveraen lining up alongside Joakim Granli and Lars Holmen for Norway. Rick Haverdil is the in-form Dutchman and there are two teams from the strong Czech contingent.
Team GB consists of Harry Walker and Dafydd Davies, who were part of last year’s team and finished fifth and are joined by Cross Country and Beach race specialist Jamie Morgan for this year event. With a line-up of this quality, the two days of racing in Kramolin will be a sight to behold.
2022 British Quadcross Champion Mark McLernon and Dean Dillon are back for reigning champions Ireland who took the 2021 title by nine points from Italy.
