France are the defending champions having won their third title, on home soil in 2015. The French Motorcycle Federation were the first to announce their team for this years event with Romain Febvre, Dylan Ferrandis and Gautier Paulin being chosen to represent their country.[2] A few weeks later, Ferrandis broke his arm at the MXGP of Switzerland.[3] His position in the squad will be taken by reserve Benoit Paturel.[4]

Australia were the next to be announced, with Motorcycling Australia putting up a team of domestic championship based riders.[5]

Team USA put forward a squad that lacked some of their fastest riders. Ryan Dungey ruled himself out because of injury problems and Eli Tomac decided not to compete. As a result of injury, Jeremy Martin also ruled himself out. This left a squad of Cooper Webb, Alex Martin and Jason Anderson.[6]
