New Zealand drafts in Natzke to replace injured Crawford for MXoN
Motorcycling New Zealand welcomes Josiah Natzke to the MXoN team to join Brodie Connolly MX2 and Hamish Harwood MXGP for the up-and-coming MXoN at Matterley Basin in England next month, after Nathan Crawford withdrew with injury. Words: Team NZ
Josiah will be the team New Zealand’s Open class rider and will be joining us coming off his second placing at the Triple Crown Series in Canada. Josiah brings a fresh energy and skill set that will bolster our team as we continue to strive for excellence at this world class event.
Team Management coordinators Shayne King, and Bevan Weal: “We are excited to have Josiah join us for this year’s MXoN, there is only one time a year that our riders get to compete against the best riders on the World stage all at one venue and we both know Josiah will give us the best possible result and wave the New Zealand flag high at Matterley.”
Josiah Natzke: “I’m stoked on the opportunity to be able to represent New Zealand again at MXoN, the personal goes to one side and I’ll always be there for my country. I will be ready to show what I can do on the world stage.”
2024 Monster Energy Motocross of Nations is to be held from the 4th to 6th October 2024, at Matterley Basin, England.
