This is your chance to secure yourself an adrenaline fuelled weekend, full of thrills and action, as the iconic Maggiora circuit makes its comeback to the FIM Motocross World Championship in 2021. 

Maggiora holds a special place in the world of motocross, known for its spectacular hillside setting and remembered for some of the most epic events that have taken place at the Italian venue. Over the years, the track has hosted numerous Grand Prix events, as well as the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations, in 1970, 1986 and 2016.

The 1986 and 2016 editions of MXoN are probably some of the most talked about to this day, the ’86 Motocross of Nations witnessed an iconic win by Team USA’s Dream Team, made up of David Bailey, Johnny O’Mara and Ricky Johnson. And then 30 years later, the 2016 edition celebrated the anniversary of that victory, with all three American riders present for the occasion, as well as to witness a historic win by Team France that time around.

Click HERE and Get ready as the action starts on the 12^th & 13^th of June as we head to Orlyonok for the MXGP of Russia!

Dear MXGP Friends,

In less than a month's time, we will be landing in Orlyonok, Russia, for the first MXGP round of the 2021 season. All the top riders are finalising their preparation to be ready on the 13^th of June! We are very enthusiastic to get closer to this moment after such a long winter break.

I would like to specially thank the Organiser of the MXGP of Russia and the president of the Motorcycling Federation of Russia, Mr.Alexander Dzheus for his great support in such a challenging time and for making this Grand Prix happen. As promotor of the world’s most popular off-road championship on two wheels, we can always count on fantastic and very passionate organisers all around the world. This year will be no exception!

The comeback of two very special venues on the 2021 calendar is also very appreciated. Matterley Basin (UK) and Maggiora (Italy). Thanks to two very passionate men and their teams, Steve Dixon in the UK and Stefano Avandero for the Italian circuit. They put all their energy to make both events possible. Those venues are in the heart of all the Motocross fans for years and we are very happy to have them onboard again.

Weeks after weeks we see the Covid-19 situation improving. Some governments are talking already about opening professional sport events to limited amount of public. Motocross will benefit from the fact it is an open-air event regarding those decisions! There will be more and more possibilities with the acceleration of the vaccination campaigns. We are in contact with all the federations and governments where a Grand Prix will take place and are doing our best to allow public at the event. We cannot wait to host you again during the Grand Prix weekend!

While we will be waiting for the majority of the paddock to be vaccinated, we will continue to put in place a strict sanitary protocol in order to protect the different stakeholders of the championship.

Finally, I would like to thank the FIM, the FIM Europe and all the partners of MXGP for their support to our favorite sport!

Don’t forget that you can follow the whole MXGP season on MXGP-TV.com!

See you in Russia!

David Luongo, CEO of Infront Moto Racing

While ‘back in the day’ sports like motocross were typically considered ‘a man’s sport’, such a statement couldn’t be further from the truth in this day and age. Today, the FIM Motocross World Championship is full of leading ladies who have taken up a role in all areas of the sport from media to mechanics, to riding and managing teams and everything else in between!

It’s exciting to see women taking centre stage and breezing through some of the toughest roles in any sport, proving that gender has no limits when it comes to getting the job done. And while there are still steps to be taken to further diversify the industry, there’s no doubt in the fact that women are well and truly making their mark and helping the sport reach new heights.

MXGP Magazine caught up with some of the leading ladies in the MXGP paddock to learn more about their background, the role they play in the industry and what is like to work in the FIM Motocross World Championship.

With so many ladies to talk to and learn about, the special feature has been split in two parts with the second part coming next month!

Read the part one of the interviews HERE!

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 17 May 2021 – Infront Moto Racing and Gaerne step into another season of FIM Motocross World Championship together to continue their firm partnership in 2021.

Gaerne has established itself as one of the leading boot brands in the motocross industry and has been a part of MXGP for many years now and this upcoming season we will continue to see the Italian brand inside the most competitive off-road championship in the world!

Based in Coste di Maser in the Province of Treviso, Italy, Gaerne was founded in 1962 by Mr. Ernesto Gazzola, who gave the company its name using the first initials of his name. Gaerne started producing quality mountain wear, before the firm’s growth saw the brand move into other sectors including the production of motorcycling boots and then cycling shoes in the mid-seventies and eighties.

Gaerne’s SG-12 is the top of the range boot designed for those who aspire to rise above the competition and are the choice of top MXGP and MX2 stars, such as Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Arminas Jasikonis and Thomas Kjer Olsen, as well as, Diga Procross GasGas Factory Racing riders Isak Gifting and Simon Langenfelder, Gebben Van Venrooy Yamaha Racing’s Kevin Strijbos, Brent Van doninck and Calvin Vlaanderen.

In addition, you will also see Team Maddii Racing Fantic Factory riders in Gaerne boots during the 2021 season, along with Shaun Simpson, Jimmy Clochet and others!

The SG-12 boots are made in Italy by practiced hands that step-by-step layer support, security, and comfort into each boot. The premium SG-12 offers a streamlined toe box for precision control, a dual-stage pivot system for more aggressive riders, an anti-shock composite sole for better connection to the pegs, slimline inner grip guard panels for better control and grip of the bike, memory foam interior for a customized fit, and an adjustable shin plate for more room around the calves. In addition, their buckle system makes it easy for riders to get in and get going, so they can focus less on the gear and more on the ride.

MONACO (Principality of Monaco), 12 May 2021 - Infront Moto Racing is pleased to announce that the partnership with Vertex Pistons will continue for the 2021 and 2022 FIM Motocross World Championship seasons.

Vertex Pistons are the multi-titled pistons that for decades have accompanied the champions of off-road specialties to victory, thanks to the solid know-how that the Italian manufacturer has begun to develop since 1953, the year of its birth. An innovative technology that has produced a line of high-performance racing products developed specifically for motocross, enduro, rally and Moto3, thanks to which the Vertex Pistons brand has become the reference in the sector.

In MX2 Vertex Pistons was instead a protagonist with Jago Geerts and Maxime Renaux, who finished the 250cc season 2nd and 3rd overall, also obtaining the constructors' title with Yamaha, while in the FIM Women's World Championship it was Dutch Nancy Van De Ven who put Vertex on the podium, finishing the season equal on points with the champion.

The results obtained by Vertex Pistons in enduro are also exceptional, where the riders equipped with pistons made in Reggio Emilia have won 18 world titles: the entire podium in the Enduro GP, Enduro1, Enduro2, Enduro Junior and Enduro Junior1 classes, the victory in Enduro3 and the first two places in Enduro Junior2.

The 2021 season will see Vertex Pistons equip the bikes of the best enduro and motocross teams, including the likes of Team HRC, Monster Energy Kawasaki, Monster Energy Yamaha Factory, KTM Marchetti, Honda Assomotor and Gas Gas SM Action.

The Vertex Pistons product range is not limited to pistons, as the Italian company also distributes major technical component brands on the market such as Wrench-Rabbit, All Balls Racing, Arrowhead EP, Cylinder Works, Fuel-Star, Hot Cams, Hot Rods and Pivot Works.
