Factory KTM Chase Sexton, the reigning 450 Pro Motocross Champion and one of motocross’s most talented riders, recently voiced his frustration over the selection process for the Motocross of Nations (MXoN) team. In a candid statement, Sexton highlighted the ego clashes and lack of transparency that have clouded the decision-making process, expressing disappointment that some riders are not stepping up to represent their country. Drawing a parallel to the Olympics, he emphasized that competing for one’s nation should be an honor above all else. Sexton’s pointed remarks leave many wondering: who exactly was he referring to?
Chase Sexton said “Everyone is pointing fingers. I’m pretty frustrated by the whole thing, because there’s a lot of egos involved and no one is honest. It’s like, ‘This is what we should do.’ This person is saying this. ‘Man, we are going to compete for our country, there should be nothing else to consider. The Olympics is the biggest sporting event any other sport has. And you can’t even get the boys to run for our country. That should be an honor for you “ Who was Sexton referring to?
