David Luongo Editorial - MXGP Mag Issue 130

Dear MXGP fans,

The end of July is marking the entrance into the last part of the FIM Motocross World Championship. With four Grand Prix which took place in the last 5 weeks, the rhythm accelerated for the biggest pleasure of our followers.

The beautiful island of Lombok hosted two GP this year. As usual, the local authorities welcomed all the attendants with a fantastic ceremony in the city of Mataram. Thousands of locals came to support the MXGP and MX2 stars during these incredible events.

In MXGP, the battle continued to gain into intensity with Jorge Prado, Tim Gajser and Jeffrey Herlings fighting for every point. Jorge Prado won the MXGP of West Nusa Tenggara and Jeffrey Herlings the MXGP of Lombok. Calvin Vlaanderen was able to complete both podiums for the first time of the season.

In MX2, the teammates of Neestan Husqvarna, Kay de Wolf and Lucas Coenen are trusting the top position of the podium Grand Prix after Grand Prix.

Going back to Europe, the MXGP of Czech Republic took place at the historical track of Loket, which also hosted the European Championship finals of the EMX65cc and EMX85cc as support classes. Almost 300 riders participated to this weekend of racing in all the classes and more than 400 bikes went to technical control. It is a fantastic milestone for our sport and a great testimonial for the next generations that will make their ride to MXGP in the coming years!

Finally, the Hell of Lommel took place last weekend. One of the most awaited and demanding Grand Prix in the year. It was a great success with probably one of the best crowds ever present at the Lommelwood venue. All the fans that were present could witness the amazing MXGP races that took place with the great battle between Jorge Prado and Jeffrey Herlings. Romain Febvre marked his comeback of racing with third overall. In MX2 Kay de Wolf extended his lead on Lucas Coenen.

On the media side, we are glad to share that TikTok MXGP platform reached 300.000 followers last week, thank you for following us!

After a break this weekend, the next MXGP will be running at the beautiful track of Uddevalla for the MXGP of Sweden and you can be sure that it will bring a lot of action.

See you in Sweden or on MXGP-TV.com!
