EMX250

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 15 May 2024 – The FIM Motocross World Championship fires up into northern Europe for round seven, the Monster Energy MXGP of France, at the spectacular hillside venue of St. Jean d’Angely near Bordeaux on the western coast of the country.  The third straight weekend of action will see the leading contenders hoping to go into the small break with some serious momentum behind them, and the classic French circuit has certainly seen some fantastic racing over the years!

The hillsides have played host to 17 MXGP events, stretching back to 1984, when France’s first World Champion Jacky Vimond took his first ever individual race win to the delight of the home crowd, even though eventual Champion that season, Austrian KTM legend Heinz Kinigadner, claimed the overall victory. The next Grand Prix at the event was an incredibly wet affair in 1989, won by Briton David Thorpe. 

The 1990s saw a win for Joel Smets in his first title year of 1995, before David Vuillemin became the first home winner of an overall GP there in 1999.  The 2000s saw the circuit become a more regular fixture in the calendar, with 13 events being run there since 2002, as well as two Motocross of Nations events in 2000 and 2011.  Team USA won the event both times, and two riders from the 2011 event will line up for the GP in 2024 – Jeffrey Herlings and Jeremy Seewer. Amazingly, Jeremy’s Kawasaki Racing Team manager Antti Pyrhonen also competed for Finland on that day! All of the top four in the 2024 MXGP World Championship have had success there, whilst none of the MX2 line-up has won an overall GP at this venue!

The EMX125 Championship Presented by FMF series also joins the party for the third straight weekend, and after four rounds it is being led by Fantic Factory Racing EMX125 rider Noel Zanocz from Hungary, who has just a 5-point lead between himself and Racestore KTM Factory Rookies star Gyan Doensen! Spain’s Salvador Perez holds third for the RFME GASGAS MX Junior Team, and French racer Mano Faure will surely enjoy some solid local support as he lies in sixth for MJC Yamaha Europe.

In EMX250, Valerio Lata continues his quest for the title with an 18-point lead in the series for Beddini GASGAS Factory Juniors, but local hero Mathis Valin, who grew up just under 200km from the track, will have the passionate French fans behind him as he looks to make up ground for Bud Racing Kawasaki. Meanwhile, Gabriel SS24 KTM rider Cas Valk will be hoping to carry his momentum from the double win in Portugal and hack down the 7-point gap he has between himself and the Frenchman.

In what is turning into a memorable battle for supremacy, the MXGP World Championship is being fought out between four riders with 14 world titles to their names, including the last six in this class! At the MXGP of Galicia, the reigning MXGP World Champion Jorge Prado re-took the series lead for Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing after losing it through a tough weekend in the mud of Portugal the weekend before.  However, even though he has now won five of the six rounds held so far, there is only a two-point margin between himself and Tim Gajser, who has shown some incredible speed despite being yet to claim an overall victory for Team HRC.  

The two other big hitters with eyes on the prize are both in the hunt for race wins, but now needing to make up a points deficit that is threatening to grow beyond catching distance. Kawasaki Racing Team firebrand Romain Febvre is 31 points behind Prado, while Jeffrey Herlings is 52 off the lead for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing and admitting that he needs to improve his early race intensity to match the amazing pace that he showed in the final ten minutes at Lugo.

Another rider with a world title to his name, Pauls Jonass  of the Standing Construct Honda MXGP team, broke his six-year drought of GP success with the overall win in the mud at Portugal, and he lies fifth in the standings, 81 behind Prado.

The top four riders in this year’s series have all tasted the sweet wine of success in the French hillsides.  Gajser has won the last two MXGP events at St Jean, in 2022 as a newly crowned five-time World Champion, when the circuit hosted the MXGP of Charente Maritime.  Tim was also triumphant in 2019, when Prado claimed his second MX2 victory at the track in two years.  Herlings won the MXGP class in 2018, to add to his three MX2 successes of 2012, ’14, and ’16.  We are back on an even-numbered year, so Jeffrey’s hopes must be high! “The Bullet” holds the record for wins at the circuit, with 4 overall GPs and 7 individual races. 

For sure the vast majority of the French crowd will be making noise for their 2015 MXGP World Champion, Romain Febvre.  Even though he hails from the other side of the country, his win at St Jean in 2016 as defending champion was wildly celebrated and much needed in his title battle with Gajser that year. His teammate Jeremy Seewer won in France last season, and as he currently lies 6^th in the Championship, the Swiss ace will be very keen to get back to the top step again.

The MXGP World Championship is shaping up to be an absolute classic, and the MXGP of France is likely to be a key moment of the season!

The battle for the 2024 MX2 World Championship continues to be fascinating, with six separate riders all taking a chequered flag so far, and three more knocking on the door! The one with the best combination of blinding speed and metronomic consistency has definitely been the red plate holder Kay de Wolf, winner of the first three rounds of the year for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing. It has been far from simple for the tall Dutchman though, as his teammate Lucas Coenen has often been his equal in terms of sheer pace, but has lost ground with mistakes and a niggling shoulder injury. 

Speaking of injury, Simon Laengenfelder lies second in the points chase for Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing, but a broken collarbone sustained in Portugal has put him on the back foot, despite toughing it out to a ninth overall finish at Lugo.  He is 44 points behind De Wolf, and just 18 ahead of the winner of that Portuguese Grand Prix for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, Liam Everts, who has himself recovered from a thumb injury that kept him out of the opening round. 

Behind Liam, the rest are closer in terms of points, with Thibault Benistant taking two overall podium results and a RAM Qualifying Race win for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2, putting him just four markers back from Everts, with Lucas Coenen another three back! Then in sixth comes the reigning Champion in the class, Everts’ teammate Andrea Adamo.  The Italian is 81 points behind De Wolf despite taking a RAM Qualifying win on home ground at Trentino and a GP race at each of the two rounds in Spain.  The speed is evident, but the consistency that earned him last year’s crown has so far evaded him.

Throw in other hopefuls like Rick Elzinga, growing in confidence for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2, leading holeshot artist Sacha Coenen, who is getting stronger through the races for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, and the ever-threatening pace of Mikkel Haarup on the surprising new Monster Energy Triumph Racing machine, and it’s clear to see why MX2 is so brilliantly entertaining at every round!

As with several circuits this year, none of the current MX2 riders have claimed a GP win at St. Jean d’Angely.  Lucas Coenen took a double win at the track in EMX250 back in 2022, while Benistant took the win in MX2 race one and 2^nd overall that year. He also took the overall result at his home GP at Villars-sous-Ecot last season, so the Yamaha man will be seriously motivated to perform well again front of his home crowd!

Exciting rookie talents Marc-Antoine Rossi of Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing and Quentin Prugnieres for F&H Kawasaki will also enjoy their first GP race in France as full-time MX2 competitors, following their wild card appearances at Villars sous Ecot last year!

While Kay de Wolf has held the red plate since the end of the opening round in Argentina, each event has proven to be totally unpredictable with the colourful cast of MX2 in 2024!

AGUEDA (Portugal) 5 May 2024 – The third round of the EMX250 and EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing at Agueda happened in very tough conditions for the young riders who had to focus hard and showed great skills to stay on the bike with ruts deepening as the races went on.

This Portuguese test gave the opportunity to riders to show their resilience and skills to stay unscathed throughout the weekend. At this game it was the perfect weekend of Gabriel SS24 KTM’s Cas Valk who showed great speed and control to go 1-1 while in EMX125, it was a celebrated first career win for Gyan Doensen from Racestore KTM Factory Rookies Team.

Despite the muddy conditions, VRT Yamaha Racing’s Ivano Van Erp got to front early on while Gabriel SS24 KTM's Cas Valk quickly got to 2nd on the rundown of turn 3. WZ Racing Team’s Maxime Grau got to a good start to see himself 4th after few turns. Still in the opening lap Van Erp went completely off track seeing Valk take the lead. This off-piste unnerved the Dutch as he lost his rhythm and got under attack from Grau and Beddini GASGAS Factory Juniors’s Valerio Lata who both went by as well as Bud Racing Kawasaki's Mathis Valin on lap 2.

Van Erp’s misfortune continued unfortunately with a hesitation in clearing a rut which Saad Soulimani from Ghidinelli Racing capitalised on to pass him on lap 4 and went on to finish 5th while Van Erp finished 6th. The top two in the Championship, Valin and Lata got into a battle and reversed role as Valin passed the red plate for 2nd on lap 10, scaring himself in nearly losing control of his bike but hanged on in 2nd place.

Following a good start that saw him passed the opening lap in 3rd, Valerio Lata’s racing wasn’t smoothed and got picked up by JM Honda Racing's Maximilian Werner on lap 8 to move down to 4th and made some mistakes that placed him in 7th on lap 9 of 12. However, Lata showed championship’s leader qualities to fight back to 3rd place on the very last lap. Werner settled for 7th in the end.

Valk who led and managed the race lost a bit of focus when he ran into traffic and back markers but kept his cool to fly to victory with around 25 seconds gap and took a good option on the overall win. 

In race 2, Van Erp made a blistering start with Valk trailing in 2nd place with red plate Lata behind. The race promised to be very competitive. While in the top 10, Valin crashed and flew of his bike while he was 3rd and found himself in 7th position but got back to 5th quickly. A little moment later, his back wheel touched Werner’s front wheel with Werner going down while Valin managed to go up to 6th place. Nothing was easy for Valin as the Frenchman got under pressure by Karlis Reisulis’s VRT Yamaha Racing soon after on lap 7 but Reisulis got bike issues and finished 11th in the end. 

Meanwhile, Valk went on the chase of Van Erp and was right behind him on lap 5 while Lata was 4 seconds behind and saw them fighting. Soulimani’s great start and good speed saw him climb up to 4th on lap 7 but went down leaving Valin going through and finished 5th for an excellent 5th overall. Meanwhile, Valk attacked and took the lead off Van Erp with Lata coming in hot too behind. The Italian managed to pass the Dutchman for 2nd. 

Fighting for the 3rd place overall, Valin raced very well until the end to get 4th for a 2-4 and 3rd overall keeping his 2nd place in the Championship, with Van Erp staying at the bottom of the podium despite a solid race and finishing 3rd.

It was then all about the front two riders. Lata started to charge on Valk with 3 laps to go for a great battle full of control on the challenging muddy track. With backmarkers coming into play, the fight got intense and the two riders had to be careful to not lose their speed. There was nothing between them but Valk managed to defend very well to keep his perfect score for the weekend with 1-1 while Lata finished second for 2nd overall, keeping his red plate safe in front of Valin and Valk. 

Cas Valk: “It was the perfect weekend, P1 in Time Practice, P1 in both races. It got me 3 races to get a win finally! So it is great to win both races this weekend. Difficult track conditions but the track in the second race was good. That was a perfect weekend. Big thanks to all my team for the hard work and we’ll keep working for the next one and see you all there”

In the first race, chaos ensued right from the get-go as several riders went down in the first turn including Dean Gregoire from VOS KTM Racing Team, but Filippo Mantovani grabbed the lead with a strong start, however his lead was short-lived as Fantic Factory Racing EMX125’s Noel Zanocz swooped in around the outside at turn 2, and quickly started to pull clear from the solid 2nd, Gyan Doensen.

Meanwhile, Aaron Katona made a decisive move on Mantovani to go 3rd and RFME GASGAS MXJunior Team’s Salvador Perez appeared at the top end of the pack and overtook Matonvani for 4th with the Italian moving down the ranks throughout the race. 

Katona nearly lost his position on the treacherous terrain but saved it well although Perez seized an opportunity right after to overtake him. Katona wasn’t finished and came back up to 3rd but then took a cross rut and crashed out of 3rd to finish 5th as Francesco Bellei from Dreams Racing took this opportunity to finish 4th.

Mano Faure from Yamaha Europe EMX125 MJC managed to push hard to overtake Katona for 4th on lap 8 but some mistakes made him go down to 6th and finished in this position. Zanocz controlled the race until the end to win in front of Doensen and Perez.

In race 2, Doensen made a strong start in front while Zanocz managed to get up to 3rd after few turns wasting no time on the tail on McCullough who tipped over to gift 2nd place to the red plate. Perez saw himself in 4thbehind Mancini but managed to pass the winner in Trentino  to get to 3rd on lap 2. 

Meanwhile, Doensen began to pull out at the lead but Zanocz was on a mission to reduce the 5-seconds gap on lap 2. Jayson Van Drunen was a rider that seemed to like the conditions as storm on to 5th place until he crashed on lap 5.  Doensen showed great control as he kept his 5-seconds advantage on Zanocz for a while but past mid-race the Hungarian began to work hard to get closer to the leader.

Brando Rispoli from TM moto Steels Dr Jack and Faure managed at that time to get themselves in the top 10 after an average starts as they finished 6th and 7th respectively, with Faure finishing 4th overall. 

Doensen had to pick up his pace after giving few looks over his shoulder and seeing Zanocz getting closer. With the race leader pulling again a little from the red plate, Zanocz looked like racing the smart race t keep his 2nd place and his lead in the championship with a good 2nd overall.

The path was free for Doensen to finish perfectly the race but then nervosity maybe kicked in and he tipped over in a cross-rut in the very last lap. Fortunately, his 19 seconds advantage on Zancoz was more than enough to get back to it and win the race to go 2-1 and win his first overall of his career. Perez rounded the overall podium with a convincing 3rd place in the race.

Gyan Doensen:  "The second race was amazing you know. From start to finish at the lead but yeah I nearly threw it away in the last lap because of the nerves! 2-1 and my first overall and victory, very happy and big thanks to my team Racestore KTM Factory Rookies, my sponsrs, my family and the guys at the factory so thank you evryone!”

Agueda (Portugal) 4 May 2024 – The MXGP World Championship returns to one of its most classic venues of the calendar this weekend, and the cameras are ready to capture the action as round five of the 2024 series, the MXGP of Portugal, starts a run of three weekends that are sure to be full of drama!

The chasing MXGP pack are now all hoping to deny the defending World Champion Jorge Prado of a fifth straight Grand Prix win. The Spaniard has taken every winner’s trophy back to his Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing transporter, and despite being overtaken in race one last time out by the two riders directly behind him in the Championship, he will remain the favourite to continue his run of victories.  

Team HRC leader Tim Gajser and Kawasaki Racing Team’s Romain Febvre will be champing at the bit to end Prado’s domination, and Jeffrey Herlings will be targeting a repeat of last year’s win here for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing to put himself back in the title hunt!

The MX2 World Championship saw Red Bull KTM Factory Racing star Liam Everts take his first win of the season last time out, but Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Kay de Wolf still leads the championship and has lost little momentum! Simon Laengenfelder of Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing won race two in Trentino and with a trio of hard-pack circuits ahead of them, the German will be going all-out to hack down that 26-point advantage!

With the first four rounds in the record books, the MXGP World Championship really gets into the meaty part of the season now, and these three weekends will be vital to the eventual destination of both Championships!

This weekend, SPORT TV Portugal will broadcast all four Grand Prix races LIVE and will be onsite with the crew to cover the event, and our regular television partners worldwide will continue their outstanding coverage of the incredible action from this series.

Below you can find a list of TV channels that will air LIVE and delayed action of the MXGP of Trentino, as well as the 26-minute Behind The Gate magazine show featuring the best moments from the races, exclusive interviews and more.  All of this footage will be available on MXGP-TV.com and via our TV magazine partners following the Grand Prix.
