Ricky Carmichael led the United States to victory in the 59th Motocross de Nations at Ernee, France, on Saturday and Sunday (Sep 24-25).

The Americans’ success means they have now equaled Great Britain as the most successful national team in the competition – with 16 titles apiece. Team GB finished fifth overall this year.

Suzuki rider Carmichael won two motos in front of more than 60,000 people over the weekend.

The international motocross season has now come to a close. Carmichael will return home immediately to start testing for the US Open and the upcoming Supercross campaign.

The 2006 World Championship starts on April 2 in Belgium.
