Qualifying Races[]

The Qualifying races are also run on a class by class basis and are used to decide which nations qualify directly to the main final. Each nation will be awarded points that correlate with their riders finishing position in the race, with the top 19 teams going to the Motocross of Nations main races. The remaining nations will go to the two smaller finals where they will have the chance to become the 20th team in the main finals. Only the best two scores count for each nation, with their third being dropped. Team Ireland and Team Iceland only have two riders remaining, meaning both of their scores will count. The points allocated for qualifying are not carried over to the finals.
