The Royal Spanish Motorcycling Federation has already defined its team for the 2025 Motocross of Nations (MXON), which will be held in Indiana, USA, on October 3, 4, and 5.
The three riders who make up the Spanish National Team and will fight for glory at the Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville are:
Rubén Fernández – MXGP
Guillem Farrés – MX2
Francisco García “Carbonero” – OPEN
Rubén Fernández takes over as captain of Team España , which will debut in the MXGP category at this prestigious international event, offering a great opportunity to demonstrate his potential among the elite of global MX racing.

Meanwhile, Guillem Farrés will compete in the MX2 category , having had a brilliant season, achieving his first podium finish and a heat victory. Finally, young Francisco García “Carbonero” will make his debut in the Open category. He joins the team to cover for Jorge Prado, who will be unable to compete due to his contractual situation with his current team.
With this lineup, Spain is once again backing a young and ambitious team that will travel to the U.S. looking to fight for a strong result. The three drivers will have logistical support from their respective brands and official teams.
National team coach Paco Rico states: “Since the Lommel race, we had already decided on the 2025 MXON team and had all the agreements finalized with the teams to organize the logistics in the United States. Although the three selected riders hadn’t had any setbacks, we did have to deal with health issues and injuries for other riders on my list, in addition to the last-minute withdrawal of Jorge, who of course was on the team, but ultimately won’t be able to be on the grid.
Even so, I’m convinced we have a great team. Rubén takes on the captaincy with the challenge of demonstrating his MXGP prowess; I have complete confidence in Guillem, who I know can perform well on the 250 in such a demanding race; and Francisco arrives with youth and hunger, which makes him a key player for us. I’ll have to reassure him more than push him, because I know he’ll give 100% at all times.
I would especially like to thank Honda, Triumph, and Kawasaki, as well as the RFME, for making it possible for this young and competitive team to represent Spain at the world’s biggest motocross event.”
