MXGP Academy Activities in Vantaa, Finland

The MXGP Academy is taking place for the sixth time in 2023 at the MXGP of Finland at Vantaa this weekend. It gave ambitious young motocross riders an opportunity to come together and perfect their skills while learning what it takes to participate professionally in the FIM Motocross World Championship.  

The youngsters learned from the experienced Jan Postema, Martin van Genderen and John van de Berk as well as local trainers throughout Friday and Saturday.

The MXGP Academy kicked out on Friday with a presentation for riders and their families, where they were taught more about safety requirements, such as flag signals, as well as additional race coaching from the trainers.

Following rider training, parents were trained and informed on the importance of communication and how to blend verbal and nonverbal approaches. The day culminated with a riding session in which participants were able to practise and ride in order to learn as much as possible about riding skills as possible.

On Saturday morning, youngsters got the chance to get a guided tour and insights of the MXGP Paddock with visits to Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 team’s structure as well as the Red Bull Station Hospitality. They continued on to the WP and TwinAir tents as well as the Dunlop truck to get an all-round perspective and experience about the world of motocross 

There will be two more MXGP Academy coaching opportunities during the 2023 season in The Netherlands and Turkyie.
