MXGP

Unfortunately for Team HRC’s Mitch Evans, 2021 was a complete write-off in terms of racing, as the young Australian was side-lined with a lingering wrist issue. It was meant that instead of lining up alongside former world champion Tim Gajser in the MXGP championship, he was back in Australia recovering and preparing himself as best he could for a return in the 2022 campaign.

With next year fast-approaching, and a start-date of February 20th on the horizon, we caught up with the #43 to see what he was up to now and how he was progressing after one of the toughest years in his career.

Where are you, and what have you been up to recently?

I’m currently in the south-west of France. I’ve finally moved here, after almost two years of looking for a place. I’m pretty happy to be back in the area, after staying here when I joined Livia’s (Honda 114 Motorsports) team in 2019. I’m setting up the house and just trying to get into a routine again. I’ve been riding and there are a lot of good tracks around here, a lot of physically demanding tracks, so I’ve been enjoying it a lot. It’s good to be back in Europe building a base for next year.

How are you feeling, physically and mentally?

At the moment I’m feeling really good. I’ve been working a lot on my mental state when off the bike, so I’m in a good head-space right now. I’m trying to enjoy everything and be grateful, and trying to make the most of every day. Physically, I’m in a good position. Fitness-wise I’m a little bit limited by my wrist but it is getting better each time I’m on the bike so I’m going to keep working hard and it’ll be 100% before I know it.

How difficult has it been, missing a whole year of racing?

It’s been really difficult to miss a whole year of racing. 2021 hasn’t really happened for me, it has just been a blur and it’s been really difficult to sit out and watch. 13 months is by far the longest I’ve had off the bike, and even before that, I had a break of about four months, so it feels like it’s been a really long time since I raced. Thankfully though, you never forget how to ride a bike, you just lose the fitness and intensity, which has never taken me very long to get back so I’m looking forward to that.

What did you do in that year off?

I travelled back and forth to Australia a couple of times, spending around a month in hotel quarantine so that wasn’t too much fun. But being in Australia, I was able to catch up with friends and just go on a bit of a personal development journey. I found out a lot about myself, and it was a bit of an eye-opener for me. It was the first time I had to look outside of motocross to try and find fulfilment and even then, I wasn’t able to, because motocross has been such a big part of my life up until this point. This really brought into focus what was important and has given me some fresh motivation for next season.

Were you able to keep training to any degree?

During the time-off, I was still able to train; cycling, running, rowing but after every surgery I wasn’t able to use my wrist for about six weeks in the gym but I was able to keep my legs, core and right-side of my body fit. I still have a big imbalance in muscle-mass as it’s been difficult to keep my left-side as strong but that is the goal now to get everything equal. I am glad I was able to do some things though as that helped get me through a lot of time in these 13 months.

Were you able to watch the 2021 MXGP season?

I was able to watch the 2021 MXGP season. It was difficult to watch as the second race would normally start after midnight in Australia so most of time I’d have to try and watch second races in the morning or catch highlights, but I wanted to support Tim and Team HRC and he did such an excellent job throughout the year. It was tough though, to see all the action because I knew I should have been out there, so I didn’t watch as much as I normally would have. It was a very challenging season with a lot of high-intensity action, and was that another reason I struggled to view it because I felt deep down that I could have been up there with those front guys and battling, so to be sitting at home and seeing it on the laptop, I’m sure people can imagine how hard that is. I believe if I have a good winter, and I’m 100% healthy I can battle with those guys on any given day and that’s what I’m looking forward to trying to prove.

What are your plans for this 2022 pre-season?

My plans are to stay in France as long as I can to get ready here. Now that I’ve got my base setup here, I’ve got really good tracks, I’ve got a really programme so I’m hoping to do most of my work here. I’ll go to Sardinia at some stage with the team, for testing and do the Italian Championship races and then come back to France and finish off before the start of the season. I haven’t really looked at the calendar as at the moment, the important thing is taking it taking day by day and getting better each time I ride.

What are your goals for the start of the 2022 MXGP season?

My goals for next year are consistent top 10 performances. I want good starts, good races and slowly getting back into the race rhythm. By the time of the first MXGP gate drop it will be about 15 or 16 months away so I’m sure people can appreciate that nerves will be a little higher than normal and I don’t want to set the bar too high in terms of results. I just want to play it smart and build as the year goes on.

What do you have hoped to achieve by the end of the season, in a perfect world?

In a perfect world, I’d hope to have achieved a couple of overall podiums and a couple of wins at the end of the year. Just being a top guy every weekend. If my wrist is pain-free, I know I can be that guy so it’s all going to come down to my wrist as the rest of my body is perfect. I’m in a better mental state than I have been in my life so I can’t wait to get started. I’d also like to thank the members of Team HRC for sticking with me and checking-in and seeing how I’m doing. It hasn’t been easy with this injury and travel and the global restrictions that have been in place so it was good to get their support throughout.

JM Honda Racing is proud to announce its rider line-up for the 2022 season. Besides remaining active in the MXGP class, the JM Honda Racing team will also be participating in the FIM MX2 World championship.

Henry Jacobi remains with the team. Jacobi had some excellent showings during the 2021 season in the FIM MXGP World Championships, and the team is working hard at improving on this for the 2022 season. With 16 finishes inside the top 15, Jacobi was consistently well into the points, but both he and the team are aiming for more and are working hard towards even better results next year.

Ivo Monticelli will join Jacobi in the MXGP class. Monticelli is an acknowledged fast rider and hopes to develop further within the professional structure of the team. Monticelli has recovered fully from the shoulder injury that plagued him all season long and can start his preparations for the season in good physical shape.

After a few years' absence, the JM Honda Racing team will also be active in the MX2 class again. Petr Polak will be flying the team flag in this class. The young Czech has scored several top 15 finishes in the 2021 MX world championship series and will only benefit from the professional structure of the JM Honda Racing Team to enable him to score consistently well.

Jacky Martens: "I am proud of the line-up that we announced. We can show some growth with all three riders based on their level of the past year, and that is positive. The Honda material provides an ideal base to be able to produce good results. We have already started with the preparations for the upcoming season and will leave no stone unturned to get to the race season in full readiness". 

DIGA Procross KTM will run KTM SX-F race technology in both the MXGP and MX2 classes of the 2022 FIM Motocross World Championship with a fresh rider line-up. The German squad welcome Grand Prix winner Thomas Kjer Olsen and Grand Prix rookie Liam Everts into their Cologne-based operation.

The bond between the ambitious DIGA Procross team and the KTM racing department has existed since 2018 as the outfit helped develop a number of riders and Grand Prix talent. Justin Amian’s unit will now steer KTM’s advanced SX-F motocross machinery – with factory backing - but they will also harbor the competitive objectives of Thomas Kjer Olsen in the MXGP class and newcomer Liam Everts in MX2.

Olsen enters only his second term in MXGP after claiming victories, podiums and three top-three classifications in a successful MX2 tenure. The 24-year-old Dane is looking to progress his career in 2022 after showing sufficient speed to become a top ten regular in 2021. Next year’s calendar will see #19 race the KTM 450 SX-F for the first time for what will also be DIGA Procross’ maiden appearance in the category.

Liam Everts makes the step into Grand Prix competition for his first full year at world championship level. The 17-year-old Belgian has been carving his name into the foundations of the sport thanks to excellent technique and bags of potential. He showed enough promise through the EMX125 and EMX250 European Championships (with podium appearances in both divisions) – as well as debuting for his country at the 2021 Motocross of Nations – to earn his MX2 berth with the KTM 250 SX-F.

Justin Amian, DIGA Procross Team Manager: “We are happy and proud to officially represent KTM in the FIM Motocross World Championship from 2022.With Liam Everts we have a young, hungry and very talented athlete in our team, and we will try to support his progress as much as possible. With Thomas Kjer Olsen we will start a new chapter in the premier class in 2022. Thomas has personally developed a lot in his 2021 MXGP rookie season and has shown great pace, which gives us the confidence that he will one day be at the front of the toughest series on the planet. Our team is eager for great results and we will do everything in our power to get better and better every day. I would like to thank Pit Beirer and Robert Jonas for the confidence they have shown in us and for the opportunity to represent KTM at the highest level.”

Robert Jonas, VP of Motorsports Offroad: “With the fit of Thomas, Liam and the DIGA Procross team we are able to create an exciting effort for 2022 and the future. It’s an understatement to say we have high hopes for both riders in their classes and their stories and goals. We know Justin and rest of the DIGA crew will help them on the way and also push the KTM brand very hard. We’re already looking forward to seeing them on track.”

We all know from watching, that the MXGP class isn’t easy, in fact, it looks tougher than ever and rookie riders are being thrown into the deep end and having to swim or sink.

When Ben Watson moved to the 450 class this year, after having some success in the MX2 class in 2020, everyone felt the young British rider could either be a positive surprise or could just as easily struggle.

It turned out a little of both as Watson started the 2021 season battling Jeffrey Herlings in a pre-season race, before having mixed results throughout the year. With just a one-year deal on his Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing contract and 2021 MX2 World Champion Maxime Renaux wanting to move up to the MXGP class in 2022, it seemed the door was shut on the factory career of Watson.

“Honestly,” Watson said. “My first MXGP season has been tough. We have had many ups, but a lot of downs. The thing is, I need to learn a lot and if I could redo the season, I would change a lot of my decisions. I have mixed feelings about how the racing went, not the results I wanted, but I felt better on the bike in the last race and that is a positive to take away.”

Fortunately, though, when the Kawasaki Factory effort started looking at riders to join Romain Febvre under the green awning, the name Watson was on the short list.

“I’m really looking forward to this fresh start,” Watson said. “I’ve had some ups-and-downs during my MXGP rookie season this year, but I think I proved on numerous occasions like at the Monster Energy Motocross of Nations and several other GPs that I have what it takes to race up front. I was just missing a few things but I’m joining a group of guys and a bike I really believe will help me. I’m really excited to put my leg over the KX450-SR. The plan is to get used to the bike before Christmas; to get a feeling for the handling, the power delivery and sort out a few small things like seat height, position of the bars and so on. I’m looking forward to working with Romain and all the team and I think this is exactly what I need as a package to make the next step. It’s going to be a tough couple of months leading up to the opening GP at Matterley in February but wow, what a start to my Kawasaki career at the home GP with all the British fans cheering me on!”

So now, with a months before the season rolls into life in late January with some pre-season races, you know that Ben Watson is pushing even harder to show that his 450 skills are good enough to make him a long-term factory rider in the toughest, deepest and most exciting motocross series in the world.

Once again, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings has gone and made history, winning one of the most disputed seasons of the FIM Motocross World Championship to date. 

Throughout his career, Herlings had to overcome many obstacles and injuries, but in true champion spirit he fought back every time. He won his first national championship in the 65cc category at the age of eight in 2002 and entered his first international event in 2006. 

In 2006, Herlings contested in the EMX85 class and finished 12^th and bettered his result the following year to finish fourth and sixth in the FIM Junior Motocross World Championship. 

In 2008, Herlings made himself a household name as he won both the European and World titles in the 85cc class. By 2009 he was on a 250cc bike and took on the EMX250 Championship and just a year later he made his debut in MX2. 

In his rookie season, the Bullet finished sixth in the standings and the following year he was runner-up to Ken Roczen. 

In 2012, the Dutchman claimed his first world title in MX2, followed by another in 2013. 2014 and 2015 were tough for Herlings as he struggled with various injuries but in 2016, he bounced back in full-fitness and secure his third title in MX2 before making the move up to MXGP for the following year. 

Upon his rookie season in MXGP, Herlings finished second just fifty points behind Antonio Cairoli. More determined than ever to get his first title the following year, Herlings was unstoppable as he went on to win a total of 33 races from a possible 40. He secured his first MXGP title on home soil in Assen, the Netherlands, 151 points in front of his closest rival Cairoli. 

The now 5-time world champion had many obstacles to overcome to get his second MXGP title too, entering the season off the back of an injury he picked up in Faenza last season and then the decision to take time off to recover from his previous foot injury. Herlings had missed a lot of bike time and that was evident as he lined up for the races in Orlyonok. The ‘Bullet’ himself admitted that he was not at the level to be racing with the rest of the field at that point – which already was very competitive. 

Things were starting to look up by the time we headed to Oss for the MXGP of the Netherlands and while many expected Herlings to dominate on home soil, the reality was different. A collision on the opening lap of race one, left the Dutchman with a shoulder injury (he went on to win the race despite that). As a result, he was forced to miss the MXGP of Czech Republic. 

Keen on making his return as soon as possible, we saw Herlings back by the Grand Prix in Lommel where much to everyone’s surprise he won the first race and finished fifth in race two, for second overall. Adamant to stay out of trouble for the rest of the season and keep fighting for the title until the very end, Herlings would be tested more than once after that. 

Since making his return in Lommel, Herlings would go on to claim nine consecutive podiums, apart from the two in Pietramurata as a result of crashes as well as a DNF, which took his championship lead from +24 to just +1 by the time we entered the final race of the triple header in Trentino. 

This season of the FIM Motocross World Championship was by far one of the most exciting ones we have witnessed in recent decades. The battle between Herlings, Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Romain Febvre and Team HRC’s Tim Gajser carried on until the season finale in Mantova, where the trio were separated by just a few points. But the main talking point was that final race, where Herlings and Febvre entered tied on points. 

While the pressure was high, Herlings was able to keep it cool, ride two very strong races and in true champion form win both and claim his second MXGP world title with a 99^th career Grand Prix victory! 

The ‘Bullet’ ended his season with some impressive stats; he has the most pole positions than any other rider (13), has led 157 laps, won 15 races, 9 Grand Prix’s, claimed 14 podiums and has held on to the red plate for a total of 6 rounds. 

Congratulations to Jeffrey and the whole team at Red Bull KTM Factory Racing on your fifth FIM Motocross World Championship title!

Gearing up for what will be our third season of FIM Motocross World Championship competition, we’re excited to be channeling our racing efforts through one team in 2022 – Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing! Continuing our quest for world championship trophies, with a super young and super talented rider line-up we’re aiming high with a renewed focus on MXGP and MX2 success. Leading us into battle in the MXGP class is two-time MX2 World Champion Jorge Prado while in MX2, current world number four Mattia Guadagnini will compete alongside young German hotshot, Simon Langenfelder.

• Introducing Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing
• Jorge Prado to spearhead GASGAS’ MXGP class assault
• Guadagnini and Langenfelder set for MX2 competition

Heading into his third season of competition in the highly competitive MXGP World Championship, Jorge Prado can’t wait for the gate to drop at round one. Following two testing, yet highly rewarding seasons in the premier class, the Spaniard has overcome injury and illness to quickly establish himself as one of the main protagonists in MXGP. Bringing everything he has learned during the last two years to the table, Prado now has all in place to challenge for his third world title.

Leading our effort in the MX2 World Championship is fun-loving Italian Mattia Guadagnini. Undoubtedly the best rookie in the 2021 campaign, the 19-year-old secured two GP wins and four overall podium results on his way to placing fourth in the final standings. With a solid debut season under his belt, the Italian is eager to get things started in his new team colors, at the very same venue at which he secured his maiden MX2 class race win – Matterley Basin.

Joining the team and beginning his third year of racing an MC 250F in the MX2 World Championship is Simon Langenfelder. Completing his first full season in 2021 (injury ended his 2020 campaign prematurely), the youngster established himself as a great starter with incredible consistency, ending the year in a well-deserved 10th place overall. Aiming to bring a touch more speed to the GPs in 2022, Simon is on the right path to contend for top-five positions on a regular basis.

Jorge Prado: “It’s a really special feeling for me as a Spaniard to be competing for GASGAS with its Spanish heritage, I can’t wait to start racing in my new colors in February. To begin the season early is perfect for me as I prefer to race and already I feel great on the new bike, so I’m really excited for round one. I’ve learned so much during the last two seasons in MXGP and feel that I can improve my level even more in 2022. For sure it won’t be easy, and I’ll be racing against some of the best racers in the world who have much more experience, but I feel ready to battle with them once again. With what I’ve learned during the last two years I believe I can run up front more consistently and I’m excited to get the new season started.”

Mattia Guadagnini: “I’m really excited for the 2022 season and to be a part of Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing is just amazing. The new colors are so good, and the set-up looks awesome! It’s great to stay within the same team structure as it’s like one big family, which is really important for me. All the hard work that we put in over the last year really paid off as I had such a great season in 2021, it was even better than I expected. For sure it was an amazing year and with another winter together I believe we can be even better in 2022 on the new GASGAS bikes. The first round isn’t too far away now and I‘m so excited to get started at Matterley Basin. It’s one of my favorite tracks and it’s where I won my first ever MX2 moto, so I have fond memories of that place. It would be amazing to start the season with a strong result there and carry that momentum into the rest of the year."

Simon Langenfelder: “New team, same colours! It’s super exciting for me to continue racing on GASGAS bikes. With the support and guidance of this experienced team, I think I can really progress in the MX2 World Championship. I’ve spent a lot of time in Italy with my new teammates recently and everything is really positive. I’m really enjoying this new environment and team structure. This off-season isn’t quite as long as we had last year but for sure I can make improvements. One thing that I will be working on is my speed, to be faster through the opening laps of each race as the intensity after the gate drop is so high. But overall, the future looks really great, and I think 2022 will be the year that my results improve to the next level.”

Claudio de Carli - Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing Team Manager: “It is an exciting step and a big honour to be leading GASGAS in MXGP next season. With the riders that we have, Jorge, Mattia, and Simon, I strongly believe that we can challenge for both the MXGP and MX2 World Championship titles in 2022. There are just over two months to go before round one in February and we are already ahead of schedule to be ready for the opening round in the UK. We have three really talented riders and from a technical point of view, I know we have the best bikes out there. It’s the start of a new chapter and the team can’t wait to begin the new season with an all-new look.”

Robert Jonas – VP Motorsports Offroad: “The GASGAS project has been an exciting one from the very beginning, and from 2022 GASGAS is set to have an even stronger presence in the FIM Motocross World Championship. Focusing the racing effort into one team, with three incredibly talented riders across MXGP and MX2, is a positive step for all involved and one that we believe will further establish GASGAS as one of the championship’s strongest teams. Ahead of the 2022 championship there is a short off-season, but we know that the team and riders will be more than ready for the first round in February.”

Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Maxime Renaux made his dream a reality to become this year’s MX2 World Champion after what can only be described as a very strong and consistent season for the Frenchman. 

With a father who was a fan of motocross, Renaux got his first bike when he was just three years old and that’s when the road to the world championship began. At 14 years old, Renaux already dominated the 125cc series as he went on to win the Junior Motocross World Championship in 2015 and finished third in the EMX125 standings despite missing the final two rounds due to injury.

In 2016, the Frenchman made a move up to the EMX250 category, but his year was once again cut short as he sustained an arm injury at the German round. Back for more in 2017, Renaux was more keen than ever to fight for the EMX title, but was dealt another blow, probably the biggest of his career. At the opening round of the French Championship, another rider landed on his shoulder which left his bone in pieces and with severe nerve damage to the area.

The next months were followed by intense rehab, with little progress in the beginning. This was heart-breaking for the young Frenchman who was even told that his career could be over. In true champion fighting spirit, Renaux did not give up and by the end of 2017 was back on his back and hasn’t looked back since.

In 2018 he finished the EMX250 Championship in 12^th position and then made the move into the FIM Motocross World Championship! On his first season in the MX2 category, Renaux finished 7^th in the standings, with some consistent results inside the top five towards the end of the season.

In 2020, we saw Renaux, and his SM Action MC Migliori crew deliver more consistent results, including their first Grand Prix victory at the MXGP of Italy in Faenza. Renaux ended his season third in the championship with five podium finishes to his name.

This season we saw the Frenchman enter the MX2 championship as one of the main title contenders alongside his teammate Jago Geerts and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle. By the second round in Great Britain, Renaux was on the top step, followed by a podium in Italy. Then while he failed to mount the podium in Oss for the MXGP of the Netherlands, we did however see him take over the championship lead and he held on to the red plate from then on until the end of the season.

The Frenchman went on to win a total of 10 races, 5 Grand Prix’s, including 14 podiums and led a total of 137 laps this year. His consistency this season was key to his success and the reason why he was able to wrap up his title a couple of rounds early despite the pressure from Vialle and Geerts.

Congratulations to Maxime and the whole team at Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing MX2 on your first FIM Motocross World Championship title!
