Dunlop Dominates MXoN 2025

CRAWFORDSVILLE, IN – October 7, 2025 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Dunlop Motorcycle Tires once again stood atop the global motocross stage as the tire of choice for champions at the 78th edition of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations at Ironman Raceway. Under warm Indiana skies, the world’s fastest riders battled for national pride, and when the dust settled, eight of the nine podium finishers were mounted on Dunlop tires—reinforcing the brand’s unmatched record of performance, consistency, and championship pedigree.

Team Australia delivered a flawless performance to capture back-to-back MXoN titles, led by the dominant Lawrence brothers. Jett Lawrence swept the MXGP class with a display of precision and control, while Hunter Lawrence conquered the Open class in similar fashion. MX2 rider Kyle Webster overcame multiple early-race setbacks to secure crucial points and seal the team’s commanding victory on Dunlop-equipped Honda HRC machines. The Australian squad’s second straight MXoN crown marks yet another milestone in Dunlop’s legacy at the pinnacle of world motocross.

In front of a massive home crowd, Team USA fought valiantly to a hard-earned runner-up finish. Eli Tomac delivered a standout ride in Race 3 with a second-place finish, while teammates Justin Cooper and RJ Hampshire added valuable points to tie France on overall score. The tiebreaker ultimately went in favor of the host nation, placing the Stars and Stripes in second overall. Every member of Team USA chose Dunlop tires for the challenging Ironman conditions, relying on their proven traction and stability throughout the grueling three-moto format.

Team France displayed remarkable consistency to secure third overall, thanks to strong rides from Romain Febvre and Maxime Renaux. Despite fierce competition and variable track conditions, Dunlop’s top European racers once again demonstrated the tire’s versatility and grip on one of the most demanding surfaces in the world.

The demanding Ironman circuit tested every aspect of rider skill and equipment durability. Dunlop’s Geomax MX34 and MX14 tires delivered the traction, control, and confidence needed to conquer the fast, rough, and rutted terrain. With eight of the nine podium riders—including both Lawrence brothers, Eli Tomac, and Romain Febvre—trusting Dunlop rubber, the results spoke volumes about the tire’s performance edge at the sport’s highest level.

“The Motocross of Nations is the ultimate test for riders, teams, and equipment,” said Broc Glover, Sr. Manager of Off-Road Motorsports for Dunlop. “To see eight of the nine podium finishers choose Dunlop is a tremendous validation of our commitment to developing the best motocross tires in the world. The results at Ironman are a testament to our riders, teams, and engineers working together toward one goal—winning.”

“Ironman Raceway delivered world-class racing and Dunlop riders delivered world-class results,” added Chad Geer, Director of Motorcycle Product, Marketing, and Motorsports at Dunlop Motorcycle Tires. “We are incredibly proud of every Dunlop athlete and team that represented their countries this weekend. Our goal has always been to provide riders with the confidence to push their limits, and this weekend proved that Dunlop is the tire trusted by champions.”
