TIM GAJSER VOTED BEST RIDER SPONSORED BY ATHENA| MXGP OF TURKIYE

The Best Rider of the Year Sponsored by Athena continued with the seventeenth round of the 2023 FIM Motocross World Championship in Afyon for the MXGP of Turkiye.

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!

Following the Grand Prix of Turkiye, it was the triumphal and returning winner of the Grand Prix Team HRC’s Tim Gajser who got voted best rider of the Grand Prix with 53% of the votes. Second in the votes ranking was another rider who returned on the podium after his injury and who finished third on the podium Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP's Maxime Renaux with 15% of the votes. Both Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado and Kawasaki Racing Team’s Romain Febvre followed as they gathered 10% 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!
