The New Zealand team flies out tonight for the Motocross of Nations in France to be held at the end of the month.

Kiwi rider Ben Townley has come out of retirement for a seventh crack at the event, and he's not the only veteran in an experienced team.

Both now over 30, Ben Townley and Cody Cooper are two of the wise old heads in Kiwi motocross.

They're now ready for another stint at the Motocross of Nations where they'll join up with 21-year-old Kayne Lamont, who's already in the UK.
