The MOTO Show returns ready for this weekends Monster Energy Supercross from Anaheim in California. Chussy and Julian discuss who is set to impress at round 1 and who is likely to walk away as champion come the end of 2015.

The 2015 World motocross championship is set to be one of the most exciting for years, Tony Cairoli and Co will have Ryan Villopoto to contend with all year. We discuss how the season might pan out for both Ryan and the top contenders involved in next years MXGP world championship.

With only days to go before thousands of spectators and hundreds of riders descend into North Somerset for the 32nd RHL Weston Beach Race, the excitement is building for what is set to be a spectacle of off-road racing. The whole weekend is stacked with races starting on Saturday at 10am and then continuing on Sunday at 9.30am - the full timetable of races can be viewed below or by clicking this LINK The 3 hour main solo event will kick off at 1:30pm on Sunday with hundreds of bikes screaming their way down the North Somerset coastline in front of thousands of fans lining the entire circuit. This year many of the UK’s best riders will be hunting for glory including British MX1 champion Shaun Simpson onboard the Hitachi KTM 450, Ben and Nathan Watson and the return of beach race legend David Knight who will be riding for Yamaha. The field is stacked with talent, to pick a winner would be near on impossible but you can safely say anyone near the front of the pack at the halfway stage with no misfortune will be a contender for ‘King of Weston.’ This year we have brand new access tunnels for fans entering the centre area of the circuit, the tunnels will be supplied by ‘Weholite’ who are based in Newport. We also have a NEW look double tier VIP glassed suite, which will bring a whole new elevated view for guests and the media area is now situated on the lawn in the Maxxis hospitality unit. Racing starts on Saturday with a full day of track action, starting with the youth races at 10am with the main Quad and sidecar races kicking into action at 2pm with 3 hours of exciting four and three wheel madness. Sunday follows suit with youth racing starting at 9:30am with the main solo race at 1:30pm - a full timetable can be found below. This years event is BIG, thousands of fans and spectators are expected on both days, Weston is an event you need to tick off you must see list, 3 hours of intense and exciting racing from start to finish. Gareth Hockey of RHL Activities: “The team are already on site adding the finishing touches to the event, thousands of tons of sand moved to shape some impressive and huge dunes and miles of fencing is now in place which shapes the course nicely. The race will be tremendous and like most years, there is no clear cut winners, we’ve also kept the ticket prices the same on the gate as we have for the last 5 years, come early and enjoy our 32nd RHL Weston Beach Race.” For all the information on this years RHL Weston Beach Race please visit the website here http://rhlactivities.com/events/rhl-beach-race-2014 Weekend Timetable Saturday October 18 2014 10am - 11.30am Youth 125 Race 12pm - 13.15 Kids 65cc Race 13.00 - 14.00 Star rider autograph session 14.00 - 17.00 Adult Quad and Sidecar Race 17.15 Trophy Presentation Sunday October 19 2014 09.30am - 10.45am Youth Quad Race 10.45am - 11.15am Star rider autograph session 11.15am - 12.30 SW85 and BW85 Race 13.30 - 16.30 Adult Main Solo Race 17.00 Presentation and awards

Another one bites the dust so to speak, one of Europe's top young riders Arnaud Tonus is packing up his kit bag and heading for the bright lights of 'Merica' to race for Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki. Arnaud will compete in the 250 class and race both Supercross and outdoors in the USA, we spotted Arnaud here at Intermot signing autographs on the BelRay stand and he explained his plans for his move stateside.

A walk in the park some might say, superb win by Team France at the 68th Edition of the Motocross of Nations. Gautier Paulin, Dylan Ferrandis and Steven Frossard were outstanding and proved the selection was bang on the button when many doubted when first announced.

Kevin Strijbos, Gautier Paulin and Tony Cairoli all won their respective qualifying classes today here in Latvia. Listen in to the entire winners press conference from the MXoN in Kegums.

Great to hear the boys sounding confident and enthusiastic here in Latvia, Shaun Simpson, Tommy Searle, Dean Wilson and team manager Neil Prince are united in their goal of achieving success at this year's MXoN. The guys like the look of the track and its layout, the starts are really important and hopefully the gate pick tomorrow will go better than last year, 39th made it tough going with gate selection in Lommel, a top 10 pick would be perfect, fingers crossed it goes to plan.

Interesting words from Ryan Dungey, Jeremy Martin and Eli Tomac, this year the guys look less stressed and look a lot more relaxed than they have in previous years. Listen to their complete press conference from Latvia.

With only 4 days to go before the start of the 2014 Motocross of Nations in Latvia, we catch up with British MX1 champion Shaun Simpson as he travels through Germany on his way to the circuit in Kegums.

Two points was all that separated the title race in the 2014 Honda 150 European Championship, and the prize of a season with Honda Jtech in EMX250 in 2015.

This past weekend Hitachi Construction Equipment UK KTM rider Shaun Simpson was crowned British MX1 champion. Shaun's season has gone from strength to strength - podium finish at the recent Lommel GP and now sits 5th in the world and now a 2x British champion. Shaun discusses his season so far, Brazil and Mexico and his options for 2015.

Sometimes a little bit of luck can go a long way, obviously its not luck especially in the world of motocross but Brian Hsu traveled to Lommel as the 125 points leader, the young German rider knew exactly what he needed to do and did just that with two very comfortable third place finishes. We spoke to Brian and he told us how his day went and what the future holds.

The final European 250 championship race took place in Lommel this past weekend and yet another British rider finished on the podium, Adam Sterry finished in third spot for the championship - the Wilvo Forkrent KTM rider was more than happy with the result as we caught up with him just after his final moto.

We managed to have a word with Steven Clarke just after his amazing European 250 championship win in Lommel this past weekend. Steven had to dig deep to walk away as champion of Europe in what was his toughest race of the year.

Max talks about his first ever GP #gurulove

We catch with MX2 Maxxis British championship leader Matiss Karro after his win at Fat Cat Moto Parc last weekend. Matiss talks about his battle with Ben Watson and this years MXoN which is being held in his own country of Latvia.

This weeks Monday MOTO Show is all about the Jeffrey Herlings or maybe KTM’s decision for him to stay put in MX2 rather than move up and race with the MXGP class. Listen is as we give you our take on why he should make the move to the bigger bike.
