DAVID LUONGO EDITORIAL - MXGP MAG ISSUE 141

Dear MXGP fans,

Here we are, the last sprint before the end of the season has just started. After three fantastic grand prix that will for sure stay in the memory of the fans, we have arrived to the final three events of the season with all the titles still to be given in mx2 and mxgp, but also in emx250 and wmx.

Firstly, in MXGP, the battle between the Belgium rising star Lucas Coenen and Romain Febvre gained in intensity during the last month. In Belgium, in front of record-breaking spectators number, Coenen offered a GP victory that the Belgium fans didn’t celebrate since Clement Desalle! In Sweden, the full attention was again on the local hero Isak Gifting, who did a fantastic performance by leading the pack in the second race before making a mistake. His example shows once again how unique motocross is inside the Motorsport family. What happened in Sweden with Isak confirms that in our sport the man is still more important than the machine, and his performance will remain in the head of everybody and bring hope to the privateers who participate in the MXGP. Finally, in Arhnem, Jeffrey Herlings scored a perfect 1-1-1 in front of his home crowd, showing here again that he remains one of the fastest riders on the planet scoring his 110 Grand Prix victory. Now the gap between Romain Febvre and Lucas Coenen is 31 points with still 180 to be given. We will for sure have an emotional end of season until Australia!

In MX2, same story but three actors; after the Dutch Grand Prix Simon Längenfelder saw his comfortable gap on Kay De Wolf being reduced to 15 points, the German will have to give his best to keep the red plate until the end. On the other hand, Andrea Adamo, who never gives up, is still in the game for the title chase as he is only 38 points behind the German star. It will be very exciting to see how these three fantastic young talents will adapt to the upcoming Grand Prix, where they will have to ride on new hard pack tracks in China and Australia.

In Turkiye, it will be the final round of the EMX250cc. On top of it the WMX will be part of the program before their final race for the first time heading to Darwin, Australia.

The Monster Energy Motocross of Nations is gearing up as well as most of the Nations have announced their selection. We will have one of the highest levels of competition since years with the quality of the top teams but also the quality of many riders who are part of other Nations. It is a dream of every Motocross fan to attend a race with riders like Gajser, Febvre, Lucas and Sasha Coenen, De Wolf, Tomac, Deegan, Sexton, Jett and Hunter Lawrence, Cairoli, Roczen and many more, and the MXoN is the only event in the World to make it possible. It will be a celebration of our sport!

It is time to enjoy the last sprint of the season, if you can’t join us around the World, you won’t miss any action on MXGP-TV.com. Junior World Champion, is sitting only six points back of the Italian talent, Nicolo Alvisi. It will for sure be exciting and emotional.

See you in Afyon.
