Husqvarna Motorcycles is pleased to confirm the signing of former EMX250 champion Roan Van De Moosdijk for the 2022 and 2023 seasons. In joining the Nestaan MX2 run Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team, Van De Moosdijk will compete in the MX2 World Championship alongside fellow Dutchman Kay de Wolf. Forming a highly competitive line-up, the duo are set to race aboard proven FC 250 machinery.

Just one year after placing third in his debut season in the hotly contested EMX250 series in 2018, Roan claimed the title in 2019 after a season-long battle for the championship. Stepping up to the MX2 World Championship for 2020, the now 21-year-old immediately impressed with three overall podium results from the first five rounds. Two further top-three finishes followed later in the year, with the Dutchman securing a maiden race victory and claiming second overall at the MXGP of Lommel. Roan would ultimately place seventh in the final standings.

Bringing everything he learned in his rookie MX2 season into 2021, Roan enjoyed another promising campaign start, claiming three third-place moto finishes to lie fifth in the series standings after the first four rounds. Frustratingly, a broken scaphoid sustained following a crash at the MXGP of Czech Republic prevented him from delivering what was set to be his breakout season in the MX2 World Championship.

Fully healed and excited to begin riding his new FC 250, Roan, alongside new teammate Kay de Wolf, will soon begin testing in readiness for the opening round of the 2022 MX2 World Championship.

Roan Van De Moosdijk: “I’m so pleased to be joining the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing MX2 team, it’s really a very special moment in my career. This season has been tough, but I’m putting that behind me and looking forward to working with the team and having Kay as my new teammate. I have a really good feeling about things, and I know that at the start of this season things were going well, and that my speed and fitness was where it needed to be to challenge for the podium. I’ll have the best bike and the best support next year, so I just want to keep working and improving through the winter and get back to where I was and then give 2022 everything I have. Finally, it looks like the season will be back to normal, and I’m really looking forward to that. I want to say thanks to everyone that has made this happen – I can’t wait to get onto my new bike and to start our winter testing and training.”

Rasmus Jorgensen - Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing MX2 Team Manager: “We’re thrilled to have Roan in our team and can’t wait to get him settled in, and then start working in preparation for 2022. Overall, this year was a very positive season for our team – we want to keep that momentum rolling into 2022 and with Roan racing alongside Kay we believe we have a very strong line-up. At the start of this year Roan was riding so well, he put in some really impressive motos, and really showed what he is capable of. We really believe he’ll be a great fit for our team and at 21 has the right mix of age and experience to excel in MX2. On our bike, with the full technical support we can offer him, he’ll have all that he needs to develop further as a racer. After a short break to rechange the batteries a little after the long season we’ve had, we’ll soon start building towards 2022. We can’t wait to get started.”

Robert Jonas – VP Motorsports Offroad: “Husqvarna Motorcycles is very pleased to be welcoming Roan into the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing MX2 team alongside Kay. The team did a fantastic job this season and is 100% focused on bigger and better results in 2022. Clearly the MX2 World Championship is hugely competitive but Roan, like Kay, has shown that he has the speed and skills to challenge for the podium. That, together with the support and guidance he will receive from both the team and everyone within Motorsports in Austria, will give him all he needs to further develop as a MX2 GP racer with Husqvarna Motorcycles.”

MOANCO (Principality of Monaco) 15 November 2020 – MXGP are excited to have continued the FOX Holeshot competition that ran throughout the 2021 FIM Motocross World Championship, together with MXGP partner Fox.

How does the competition work?

During both MXGP and MX2 races, the rider who crosses the white line painted on the ground at the exit of the first corner will be awarded 1 point. At the end of the season, the 2 riders, one per category, with the most Fox Holeshot points will win the mega prize!

As always, this season the starts were crucial as for most of the riders, especially the title contenders, a good start was important to getting the race win and picking up some vital championship points. 

The Fox Holeshot Award crown in MXGP went to Jorge Prado of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing as the Spaniard showed time and time again that he is unbeatable out of the gate. Throughout the 2021 season, he collected 18 Fox Holeshots, while this years championship runner-up Romain Febvre of Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team was second with six ahead of the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings.

This year’s Fox Holeshot Award in the MX2 class went to Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle who for the second year in a row was unmatched in terms of getting out of the gate as he racked up 22 Fox Holeshots. His closest rival was his teammate Mattia Guadagnini who ended his season with four black plaques ahead of Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Maxime Renaux who had three points.

Both Vialle and Prado, received their FOX Holeshot cheques during the annual MXGP Awards which was streamed LIVE to audiences worldwide on MXGP’s YouTube channel and www.MXGP-TV.com

Watch the Fox Holeshot Films from the MXGP of Città di Mantova below.

It is an annual MXGP tradition to present the winners of the FIM Motocross World Championship with a special winning ring to celebrate their world titles.

The 2021 MXGP and MX2 World Champions, Jeffrey Herlings and Maxime Renaux were presented with their rings during the end-of-season MXGP Awards on Wednesday night, following the final races of the MXGP of Città di Mantova which officially concluded this year’s FIM Motocross World Championship season.

These unique silver jewels are custom made to symbolise victory, each engraved with the year and the names of the Champions to further personalise the ring. The rings are designed and produced by the Italian company PR Model which is headed by Mr. Telemaco Cane, a huge fan of motocross himself.

The ring presentation is the final step to seal the championships and conclude what has been a very exciting and intense season of racing.
