David Luongo – Editorial – May 2021

Dear MXGP Friends,

In less than a month's time, we will be landing in Orlyonok, Russia, for the first MXGP round of the 2021 season. All the top riders are finalising their preparation to be ready on the 13^th of June! We are very enthusiastic to get closer to this moment after such a long winter break.

I would like to specially thank the Organiser of the MXGP of Russia and the president of the Motorcycling Federation of Russia, Mr.Alexander Dzheus for his great support in such a challenging time and for making this Grand Prix happen. As promotor of the world’s most popular off-road championship on two wheels, we can always count on fantastic and very passionate organisers all around the world. This year will be no exception!

The comeback of two very special venues on the 2021 calendar is also very appreciated. Matterley Basin (UK) and Maggiora (Italy). Thanks to two very passionate men and their teams, Steve Dixon in the UK and Stefano Avandero for the Italian circuit. They put all their energy to make both events possible. Those venues are in the heart of all the Motocross fans for years and we are very happy to have them onboard again.

Weeks after weeks we see the Covid-19 situation improving. Some governments are talking already about opening professional sport events to limited amount of public. Motocross will benefit from the fact it is an open-air event regarding those decisions! There will be more and more possibilities with the acceleration of the vaccination campaigns. We are in contact with all the federations and governments where a Grand Prix will take place and are doing our best to allow public at the event. We cannot wait to host you again during the Grand Prix weekend!

While we will be waiting for the majority of the paddock to be vaccinated, we will continue to put in place a strict sanitary protocol in order to protect the different stakeholders of the championship.

Finally, I would like to thank the FIM, the FIM Europe and all the partners of MXGP for their support to our favorite sport!

Don’t forget that you can follow the whole MXGP season on MXGP-TV.com!

See you in Russia!

David Luongo, CEO of Infront Moto Racing
