“I am absolutely pumped to be chosen again to represent the USA at QXON,” stated Brown. “To go up against the best riders in the world and try and keep the title here in the U.S. is amazing. I know we have a big target on our backs, but we will be ready to work as a team to defend our title.”
“Representing our country is truly a great honor,” said Wienen. “We are on a quest to win our third consecutive championship and it could not be done without the team and support behind the scenes to make it happen. Every year we are blown away at the support from the fans, family and team members that make this trip possible. I am excited for the challenge and team bonding in Germany. Bisbald, Deutschland! (See you soon Germany!).”
