DAVID LUONGO EDITORIAL | MXGP MAG ISSUE #137

Dear MXGP Fan,

As we just passed the first quarter of the 2025 MXGP season, you will have the opportunity in this month magazine to have a recap on the four last Grand Prix that took place.

After a fantastic opening round in Argentina, the MXGP came back to Cózar, where the final of the 2024 season took place. It has been a very challenging weekend as we faced terrible weather conditions during the 10 days prior the event but also during the weekend. What makes our sport so special is probably the fact that we ride in whatever conditions we are facing and I am very proud that our team, the organizer, and all the stakeholders were able to bring this event to its term, delivering one of the muddier MXGP race that will stay in the history.

One week later, Saint Jean D’Angely was hosting the MXGP of Europe, and the French fans answered the call of the first of the two Grand Prix that will take place in France this year (the second one being Ernée in upcoming May). The collaboration with the FFM and our historical organizers in France continues to get stronger and targeting long-term growing for Motocross with very good quality of events.

From the French hard ground soil, we then moved to the deep sand of Riola Sardo (Italy), where we had the pleasure to see great races in MX2 and MXGP. This track remains probably one of the most demanding of the calendar and the first sand track of the season.

Finally last weekend, the most awaited MXGP of Trentino, in Pietramurata rose the bar for one more year. More than 230 riders participated to the event competing between the 125cc and 250cc European Championships, MX2 and MXGP World Championship. Spectators came from all over Europe to enjoy the breathtaking scenary of the region surrounding the track, situated near Lake of Garda. Italian fans could enjoy the comeback of Antonio Cairoli on the Ducati, and the Slovenian fans turned this race home Grand Prix for Tim Gajser as they came massively to support him!

On the racing side, the MXGP hierarchy starts to take shape with Tim Gajser who made a gap of 39 points on Romain Febvre after five Grand Prix. But there are still 900 points to be distributed so the road is still very long for the Tim Gajser. Romain Febvre is showing fantastic speed, and you cannot doubt that Maxime Renaux, Glen Clodenhoff and Jeffrey Herlings, who is coming back from injury and more other riders will continue to put the maximum of pressure on him. In MX2, we had until now fantastic races with many top riders who can compete for the win, in fact 8 different riders won the first 10 races of the season, which gives us great expectations for the rest of the season!

Now it is time for Frauenfeld to host the MXGP of Switzerland presented by iXS and the last of this triple header Grand Prix.

See you in Switzerland.
