Jeffrey Herlings Voted Best Rider Sponsored by Athena at the MXGP of Sardegna

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 28 March 2023 – The Best Rider of the Year Sponsored by Athena continued with the second round of the 2023 FIM Motocross World Championship in Sardinia 

Votes are counted at the end of every Grand Prix, with the ‘Best Rider of the GP’ being chosen during each event of 2023. The rider who is voted the most times by our MXGP fans as the best rider, will ultimately receive the final prize and become the ‘Best Rider of the Year Sponsored by Athena’ at the end of the year!

This weekend for the MXGP of Sardegna, it was Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Helings who won Best Rider of the Grand Prix after an outstanding performance in race 2 as he received 79% of the votes ahead of Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado with 8% of the votes and Standing Construct Honda MXGP’s Pauls Jonass with 7% of the votes. 

How to vote:

Every Grand Prix Sunday a dedicated post is shared on MXGP’s official Instagram page under which fans can comment who their favourite rider of the weekend is. This competition is only for MXGP riders and the voting closes at 8pm on Sunday.

The comments are then counted and the rider with the most votes is chosen as the best rider of that GP. 

The Best Rider of the Year Sponsored by Athena competition will conclude at the MXGP of Great Britain where we will officially crown the champions of 2023!
