Trentino

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 13 April 2023 – The FIM Motocross World Championship arrives in Trentino this weekend for the fourth round of the 2023 season in Pietramurata on the 15^th and 16^th April.

The MXGP of Trentino is a special one as it always attracts a large and electric public who can admire the beautiful track of Pietramurata surrounded by the stunning Dolomite Mountain Range while making themselves know with loud cheering throughout the whole racing weekend.

MXGP and MX2 will be joined this year by the supporting classes from the FIM Motocross European Championship EMX250 and the EMX125 presented by FMF. It will be the second round of the season for these categories. In EMX250, Hutten Metaal Yamaha Racing Team’s Andrea Bonacorsi who won in great fashion in Sardinia with a 1-1 will come to Trentino full of confidence while in EMX125 Presented by FMF, 737 Performers GASGAS’s Mathis Valin will arrive this weekend for a back-to-back round after winning in Switzerland and leading the Championship.

In 2022, the MXGP of Trentino hosted the 5^th round of the season and it would mark the 5^th win of the season for Team HRC's Tim Gajser with a perfect 1-1 in front of Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP Team’s Maxime Renaux and Red Bul GASGAS Faticry Racing’s Jorge Prado.

This year, Trentino marks the 4^th round of the season and is going to already be a very important back-to-back GP for riders like Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings, Maxime Renaux and Kawasaki Racing Team’s Romain Febvre, 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th in the Championship respectively to not let the leader Jorge Prado increasing his lead.

Prado, leader by 19 points on Herlings has not won a GP yet but has won 3 races out of 6, clinched all RAM Qualifying race and was on every podium so far. He shows great consistency and maturity. However, as the only rider who has led laps in all GPs this campaign, the Spaniard will want to concretised his dominance with a MXGP win in Trentino.

Renaux freshly winner in Switzerland and 3^rd in the Championship showed very good composure to win his first GP. He now comes to one of favorite tracks in Trentino where he won his MX2 Motocross World Championship in 2021 and got to the second step of the podium last year in MXGP. The other rider who shows that he is in the mix since the beginning of the season is Romain Febvre. He clinched his first podium of the season in Switzerland with a 3-2, to get to the third step of the podium. The Frenchman looks more comfortable every week and is desperate to get his first win.
Herlings 2^nd in the Championship who displayed some magic in Sardinia to win his 100^th GP win of his career was quieter in Switzerland with a 6-4 to get 4^th overall.

Jeremy Seewer is one rider who didn’t start the season in the best way. The swiss has been unfortunate with crashes since the beginning of the season but showed really good speed in every GPs. If he stays on his bike, the Monster Energy Yamaha rider can definitely be a threat in Trentino. His Teammate Glenn Coldenhoff won his first race in Sardinia and feels very comfortable on his new bike. While the results in Switzerland were below his expectations, Coldenhoff sits at the 7^th place in the Championship and will be one to watch in Trentino.  
Team Gebben Van Venroy Yamaha Racing’s Calvin Vlaanderen and Team HRC’s Ruben Fernandez are 5^th and 6^th in Championship and showed that they can compete for the top spots. Fernandez with the first win of the season in Argentina and Vlaanderen as he often competed with riders at the top of the leader board throughout the first 3 GPs.

SM Action Racing Team Yuasa Bettery MXGP’s Alberto Forato  is coming to his home GP on the back of a very strong GP in Switzerland as he went 12-9 for 8^th overall. He also showed that he has speed in the RAM Qualifying Race as he finished 4^th in Frauenfeld. The Italian 9^th in the Championship along with his countryman Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Mattia Guadagnini 10^th will definitely ride with an added support from the home fans.

The other riders coming back home are MRT Racing Team Beta’s Alessandro Lupino who went 15-11 for 13^th overall in Switzerland and is getting closer to the top 10 and SDM Corse MX Team’s Nicolas Lapucci will definitely be using the home support to properly kickstart his season.

Standing Construct Honda MXGP’s Pauls Jonass will unfortunately not be lining up this weekend due to an injury picked up in the second race in Switzerland. The 11^th rider in the Championship will hopefully be back in the next GP.

In MX2 last year, it was Tom Vialle who clinched the win for his 3^rd in a row at that time ahead of Kay de Wolf and Mikkel Haarup.

Following the MXGP of Switzerland presented by iXS, Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 Team’s Jago Geerts is still the red plate holder although the Belgian went 7-3 for a 5th overall as he crashed few times throughout the GP although his speed was still there as he set the fastest lap in MX2.

In Switzerland it was all about his teammate Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 Team’s Thibault Benistant who won his first GP of the season with a 4-1, keeping his 100% podium finish record so far in the season. He also got closer to the leader Geerts in the championship, 20 points behind in 2^nd place. He is one of the most important threat for Geerts.

Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Kay de Wolf  is another rider on form with a back to back podium finish. 2nd in Sardinia and 3rd in Switzerland and 3rd in the Championship. He also showed that he can beat everyone with his race win in Sardinia. His teammate Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Roan Van de Moosdijk won race 1 in Switzerland and 4th overall. He shows he is getting better and better while getting more comfortable on the bike.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Andrea Adamo, 4th in the Championship continues his solid start of the season with a second podium finish, 2nd overall. The Italian is coming home and can expect to be supported by the Italian fans to help him get his first win of the season.

Still in the top 10 of the Championship standings  there is a group of riders such as Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Liam Everts, Red Bull GASGAS Fatcory Racing’s Simon Laengenfelder, F&H Kawasaki Racing Team’s Kevin Horgmo and Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Lucas Coenen who are fighting with the top ranking riders and look like they only need a little bit more consistency in their ride to really get to the big points.

The American MX2 rider Jack Chambers showed on his first outing in the series that he will be one to watch as he went 14-12 for 13^th overall, given he arrived in a brand-new setting, with a new bike, a new team and new championship overall. He will try to improve as he gets more experience along the way. Finally, there is TEM JP253 KTM Racing Team’s Jan Pancar who shows that he keeps hovering around the 9/10^th place and could create the surprise as he already showed he can lead a race like in Switzerland.

Mikkel Haarup is a rider that has changed his team to WZ RACING TEAM and will be now focus on performing on the track.

After two successful editions of the French Elite Championship in 2021 and 2022, the club wanted to welcome again a World Championship round. “Thanks to Infront Moto Racing, the FIM and the FFM who took our request in consideration,” says President Luc Pellier who has been member of the club since many years. “We have 50% of new members in the club’s management committee, and most of us wanted to organize again a GP” continues Luc who explains the main novelties compared to the last GP in September 2017. “Thanks to the support of the Pays de Montbeliard Agglomeration, the Region Burgundy Franche Comte and the Department of Doubs, we have changed 80% of the track to offer a new and modern track to the riders. And in order to facilitate the coverage of the event, the optical fiber is now operational on the circuit.”

David Luongo, Infront Moto Racing CEO: “France is a country of enthusiast motocross fans, and we have an agreement with the French Federation to organize every year a GP on different tracks. It’s a pleasure to be back to Villars sous Ecot, who is part of the long history of the French motocross. Villars has an ideal location close to Germany, Switzerland and Belgium, and we are sure that many fans will come from all over Europe to this GP. We all know that the Grand Prix will offer a great media coverage to the region, the department and the agglomeration.”

Italy is such an important part of our sport. Like Belgium, France, Great Britain, Holland and Germany, Italy is one of the centre pieces of our history. Back in 1957 in the very first year of the FIM Motocross World Championships when Swedish legend Bill Nilsson won at the Imola circuit, a circuit that would hold seven of the first eight 500cc Grand Prix’s.

Many great circuits have been a part of the GP scene, from Gallarate where Torsten Hallman won his first 250 GP in Italy, and would win five times in that country, at various circuits. Of course, Maggiora, which first appeared on the GP scene in 1966 when German legend Paul Friedrichs won a 500cc GP has a huge history, with the legendary 1986 Motocross des Nations, and that events return in 2016, not to mention a long list of Grand Prix’s held at that magnificent circuit on the hillside.

We could go on forever, but places like Cingoli, Fermo, Faenza, Montevarchi, and Arco Di Trento have been written in motocross folk-law and will remain great memories for those lucky enough to visit those old school circuits.

This weekend, the MXGP paddock heads to Trentino, a circuit that is rather new to the GP series, but an old school circuit if you ever saw one. Nestled up against the Dolomite Mountain range, the hard packed Crossodrome Ciclamino facility is just beautiful, and atmosphere at that place is just sensational.

Five-time World champion Tim Gajser loves the place and has won on five occasions, while nine-time world champion Antonio Cairoli, a big fan of racing in his homeland, has also won their five times. He also produced some of his own magic there in 2017 when he completely dominated everyone from the back of the pack.

Of course, Gajser won his first ever GP at Trentino in 2015, finishing with 2-1 results, giving Jeffrey Herlings one of his very few real beatings in the MX2 class (Herlings went 1-2). Gajser went on to win the MX2 World championship that year after Jeffrey Herlings crashed out of the series.

We had the triple header in 2021 and of course, drama, crashes and so much more exciting moments as the big three Herlings, Febvre and Gajser went head-to-head. Last year it was Tim Gajser who won in MXGP and Tom Vialle in MX2.

So, it will be interesting to see what we get at Trentino this year. Would Jorge Prado take it up a notch and grow his confidence. Or will it be five-time winner at this circuit Jeffrey Herlings stamping his mark on the event?

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 12 April 2023 – The fourth round of the 2023 FIM Motocross World Championship is going to Trentino, Italy will be held at Pietramurata on the 15-16th April!
