2023 ACERBIS BEST LAP WINNERS | PRADO AND GEERTS

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 28 September 2023 – Infront Moto Racing has been delighted to see Acerbis sponsoring the Best Lap Competition for MXGP and MX2 during the 2023 FIM Motocross World Championship. 

The Motocross World Championship has witnessed an astounding surge in intensity and competition. The sheer speed demanded to excel in the Championship, particularly on some of the world's most challenging tracks, is nothing short of extraordinary. As a result, achieving the distinction of setting the Acerbis Best Lap during a Grand Prix is a remarkable accomplishment worthy of recognition and reward.

How does the competition work?
The Acerbis Best Lap Competition rewards at the end of each event, the fastest rider in MXGP and MX2 with a point. The rider with the most points in each class at the conclusion of the Championship receives a prize from ACERBIS at the MXGP Awards.

This year, Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado in MXGP and Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jago Geerts in MX2 were the ones who set the most Acerbis Best Lap with 6 points each. 

In MXGP, Prado started the season with three Acerbis Best Lap in a row to add two more later in the season while his closest rivals in the competition were the same ones who challenged him the most in the Championship, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings and Kawasaki Racing Team’s Romain Febvre. Both Riders finished the season with 4 Acerbis Best Laps each.

In MX2, Geerts regularly set the fastest laps during the season. Setting 6 Acerbis Best Laps in total despite getting injured twice is an incredible feat for the Belgian who finished second in the MX2 Championship. Finishing second in the competition is the MX2 World Champion, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Andrea Adamo with 4 Acerbis Best Lap while Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 Team’s Thibault Benistant finished third in the competition with 3 points.
