MARCUS PEREIRA DE FREITAS: A MANAGERS INSIGHT

Marcus Pereira de Freitas is the HRC General Manager and has been around the sport forever. First as a mechanic and now as a manager. Marcus Pereira de Freitas, a highly respected chief mechanic and long-time key figure at Honda and HRC, transitioned to a management role in HRC’s Motocross World Championship campaign in 2018. He continues to serve in this capacity for the 2025 season, following successful title-winning campaigns in 2019, 2020, and 2022.

Before the British Grand Prix last weekend, Marcus knew, without Tim Gajser on the start line, it was going to be a difficult weekend. One thing he did look forward to was the fact Matterley Basin remains a paddock favourite and still having belief in his team, while they struggle with injuries and a lot of bad luck.

“I think it is a venue that everyone enjoys going to,” he said. “As it is one of the best tracks with a good layout and lots of big jumps and plenty of lines. Unfortunately, Tim wasn’t here with us, after his spectacular win in the Motocross of Nations last year, but Ruben rode well also so he’s excited to get back to attack mode, after surviving Latvia. Valerio is also ready to go racing again after a rare weekend off so we were all really excited to be heading to Great Britain.”

On the Saturday, during practice and qualification, it looked like HRC would again suffer from bad luck and disappointments. Valerio Lata has a crash and couldn’t finish the MX2 qualification race. Fortunately, his 450 rider, Ruben Fernandez did show some spirit.

“We seem to be going through some bad luck as a team, with Valerio having to pullout of the qualification race due to another rider crashing right in front of him on a jump landing. He got checked out straight away as he was in a lot of pain, and although he wasn’t feeling 100%, he tried to race and see what he could do. Unfortunately, he had to pull off the track and now we’ll see how he feels when he arrives tomorrow and make a decision then. Ruben looked good all day and we believe he can do even better in the GP-scoring races, so everyone will be working super-hard to give him all the help he needs.”

Sure enough, Fernandez gave a good account of himself and gave the red army something to celebrate before the MXGP paddock went into a three-week break.

“A great ride from Ruben in that second moto really showed the quality that he has. He was under pressure the entire time and then at the end made it really close to the leader, with perhaps a couple more laps and he could have taken the lead. It is a nice boost heading into this break and I’m sure he’ll use it wisely and come out swinging in Finland. We didn’t really have any expectations for Valerio after yesterday’s incident, but it was good to see him fighting in both races and showing a strong spirit. It’s good he has a break to recover and we’re sure he’ll continue the progress he had shown before this event, when we get to Finland, which will be a new circuit for everyone.”

Now, with the break, time for his riders to recover and the team to reset their goals, HRC, like all the teams in the paddock get a nice rest and can head to the next round in Finland with extra motivation and energy as the MXGP paddock get set for the final run to the Australian Grand Prix in September.

FRANCESCO ZERBI: A LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP IN MOTORSPORT

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 25th June 2025 – It is with profound sadness that Infront Moto Racing announces the passing of Francesco Zerbi (1932–2025). A towering figure in motorcycle sport, Zerbi served as FIM President from 1995 to 2006 and later held the title of Honorary President. His lifelong dedication to motorsport profoundly shaped its growth across the globe.

Francesco Zerbi’s influence is felt across generations. He began his FIM journey in 1977 and became President of Italy’s FMI in 1979. Promoted to FIM Vice‑President in 1982 and Deputy President in 1984, he was elected FIM President in 1995, leading the organisation through three terms until 2006. In 2007, he was named FIM Honorary President in recognition of his prominent service.

We share in the grief of the FMI, FIM and FIM Europe and the global motorcycling community. Zerbi’s vision, leadership, and unwavering passion leave an indelible legacy that will continue to inspire for decades.

MXGP OF AUSTRALIA UNVEILS ON-TRACK TIMETABLE AS MULTIPLE WORLD CHAMPIONS CROWNED IN DARWIN THIS SEPTEMBER

DARWIN (Australia) 25 June 2025 - The Top End is gearing up for a high-stakes motocross spectacle as the MXGP of Australia roars into Darwin’s Hidden Valley Raceway from 19-21 September 2025, marking the FIM Motocross World Championship’s highly anticipated return to Australia after 24 years.

As the climactic final round of the 2025 FIM World Motocross Championship series, Darwin is set to witness history on a purpose-built, 1.6-kilometre world-class track, with three 2025 world champions to be crowned on home soil.

The MXGP of Australia promises three days of thrilling track action with the on-track timetable catering for racing fans, teams and riders. Day one of racing kicks off on Friday, 19 September, with the national support classes. The MX85 class will have all three of its races, each a fierce 15 minutes plus 1 lap, while the MX3 class begins its first two races each for 20 minutes plus 1 lap.

Saturday, 20 September brings a packed schedule, with Qualifying sessions and a historic milestone as the FIM Women’s World Championship makes its Australian debut. The day begins early with WMX, MX2, and MXGP Free Practice sessions. Qualifying sessions for WMX, MX2, and MXGP will dominate the afternoon, while the final Aussie MX3 Race 3 takes place at 4:45pm (20 minutes + 1 lap).

The main event day on Sunday will host the FIM World Championship Races and features warm-up sessions for WMX, MX2, and MXGP. First up on the podiums will be the crowning of the 2025 WMX World Champion. Fans can then look forward to two intense GPs for both the MX2 and MXGP classes, as the afternoon and race weekend ends with MX2 Race 2 at 3:00pm and MXGP Race 2 at 4:00pm, and then 2025 world champions will be crowned.

Darwin is the 20th and final round for MXGP and MX2, and the 6th and final round for WMX, culminating a 24-week, six-country journey for the women's series. The thrilling possibility remains, pending progressive points tallies that the winners of all three coveted FIM World Championship titles could be decided in the Top End, making it an unmissable event for motorsport fans globally.

Beyond the international battles, the on-track timetable highlights Australia's motocross future through vital national support classes. Selected Australian riders will be given wildcard entries into the MXGP, MX2, and WMX classes, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete against the world’s best MX riders.

A thrilling addition is the Motorcycling Australia (MA) State Challenge. This initiative features the MX3 class (14-18 years) and the MX85 class (12-16 years). Each State Controlling Body in Australia will select two six-rider MX3 and MX85 teams via their own qualifying processes, which will include ProMX and state championship events. In Darwin, three trophies will be awarded: to the top states in MX3 and MX85, and an overall winner.

The MXGP of Australia promises diverse entertainment, delicious food, and plenty of off-track activities. Delivered by Northern Territory Major Events Company in partnership with MXGP rights-holder Infront Moto Racing and Motorcycling Australia, this global sporting event is a must-do on the Top End’s events calendar.

 

Infront Moto Racing CEO David Luongo:
“We are pleased to share the timetable for the upcoming MXGP of Australia, which marks an important return of the series to the country after 24 years. With MXGP, MX2, WMX, and the addition of Australian MX3 and MX85 classes, the event will offer a full showcase of motocross talent. A high-quality, purpose-built track is currently under construction, and we look forward to working closely with the Northern Territory Major Events Company and Motorcycling Australia to deliver a successful and memorable Grand Prix.”

Northern Territory Major Events Company Executive Director, Aimee Luxton:
"Unveiling the On-Track Timetable for the MXGP of Australia marks a truly exciting time, further building the immense anticipation for this global sporting event in the Top End. Hosting the final round of three FIM World Championships firmly places Darwin on the international motocross map.

“Not only will fans witness world champions crowned on our brand-new, purpose-built track at Hidden Valley, but the inclusion of our national MX3 and MX85 State Challenge provides an incredible platform for Australia's rising stars to shine on the same international stage.

“This is an unmissable event for all motocross enthusiasts, offering the pinnacle of the sport while also inviting international and interstate visitors on a journey of discovery through the Top End. We look forward to sharing the extraordinary beauty of our National Parks, the flavour of our local food scene, and the thrilling outdoor activities available, urging everyone to explore all that our special region has to offer beyond the track."

Motorcycling Australia CEO, Peter Doyle:
“The long-awaited return of the FIM Motocross World Championship to Australia, as well as the debut of the WMX class on local shores, is simply massive for motocross Down Under, and I again congratulate the Northern Territory government and NT Major Events for their foresight and commitment to bringing the event to life.

“We’ve already passed plenty of milestones in the build-up to the inaugural Darwin event, and the on-track schedule is the latest as riders prepare to go into battle on a world-class track that’s set to provide three days of gripping entertainment. And with the spectre of world championship battles going right down to the wire in the final round of the season, Darwin will be the ultimate high-stakes event.

“The MXGP of Australia covers the full spectrum of riders, from the titans of motocross in MXGP, MX2 and WMX to the stars of tomorrow in the MX85 and MX3 classes as part of the Motorcycling Australia State Challenge. The world championship classes will also feature wildcards from our Australian ProMX Championship, who will be determined to put their names up in lights with strong performances.

“As world motocross action returns to Australia after a 24-year absence, I can’t wait for three days of spectacular action in the Top End.”

FEBVRE AND LÄNGENFELDER BOSS THE BASIN AT THE MXGP OF GREAT BRITAIN

MATTERLEY BASIN (Great Britain) 22nd June 2025 – Although the sun hid behind the clouds for most of GP race day at Matterley Basin, the stars of MXGP shone through with a brilliant showcase of flat-out Motocross at the MXGP of Great Britain, the 12th round of the 2025 FIM Motocross World Championships!

With the track crew battling an eternally drying surface that was subject to both sunshine and strong winds, the riders responded with maximum effort all round, and it was the Championship leaders in both classes that prevailed with some flawless riding to strengthen their positions as red plate holders!

Romain Febvre bounced back from third in race one to dominate race two and clinch his fourth GP win of the season for Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP, while Lucas Coenen took second overall yet again for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. Matterley Basin also saw a podium return for Glenn Coldenhoff, after clinching the first ever race win in the opener for Fantic Factory Racing MXGP!

MX2 saw the completion of a perfect weekend for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Simon Längenfelder, showing patience to fight through the field in race one before enjoying a gate-to-flag victory in race two.  Liam Everts had his best result for some time with second overall for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing, with Längenfelder’s teammate Sacha Coenen in third.

Once more the natural amphitheatre of Matterley Basin challenged the very best in front of an enthusiastic crowd, who will surely be back for more in years to come.

 


The morning Warm Up saw Romain Febvre in a mood to show who was boss by setting the only sub-two-minute lap of the session, with Lucas Coenen over a second and a half behind in second, ahead of Andrea Bonacorsi for Fantic Factory Racing MXGP.

Despite not looking comfortable in Saturday’s Qualifying Race, Coenen gave himself the best shot at redemption on Sunday with a storming Fox Holeshot Award, his tenth of the season, as Coldenhoff gave chase ahead of Ruben Fernandez for Honda HRC.  Antonio Cairoli, racing for the second time this season for the Aruba.it Ducati Factory MX Team, showed he wasn’t just playing around as he moved into fifth behind the Red Bull KTM of Jeffrey Herlings, putting series leader Febvre behind him in turn three! TC222 even gave “The Bullet” a little contact halfway around the lap, and was clearly enjoying one of his favourite circuits, even though Febvre got past him towards the end of the first full lap.

Isak Gifting enjoyed barging his JK Racing Yamaha past Cairoli for sixth at the end of the start straight, while the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP machine of Calvin Vlaanderen started in eighth ahead of fellow Dutchman Brian Bogers on the second factory Fantic.  With his best start of the season, Team Motul Honda Motoblouz SR rider Alberto Forato rounded out the top ten at the start of the race!

Halfway around lap two, Coenen had his wheels slip out from under him, allowing Coldenhoff into the lead.  By lap six, Herlings had found his flow and pushed up the inside of Fernandez for third.  It took “The Bullet” only three laps to chase down Coenen and advance into second, initially pulling away and seeming ready to threaten Coldenhoff for the lead!

Further back, Vlaanderen had railed round the outside of Gifting for sixth, after passing Cairoli along Pit Lane as the Italian seemed to signal that he had a brake problem, although the nine-time Champ recovered to score seventh behind the surviving factory Yamaha man.  Jago Geerts had already crashed out and was to miss race two with a suspected foot injury.

As Gifting pulled out of the race after a crash, Bogers and Forato moved up to secure eighth and ninth, with Brent van Doninck taking a good tenth place for JM Racing Honda.

Lap 13 was unlucky for Herlings, slipping to the ground after the big uphill quad jump, dropping himself from second to fourth, still ahead of Fernandez but behind Febvre.  Coenen had drawn breath and launched an attack on Coldenhoff for the lead, but the veteran Dutchman held fast to take a brilliant first ever race win for Fantic as an MXGP manufacturer!  Amazingly, it was also the Dutchman’s first race win here, after winning the 2013 MX2 Grand Prix overall with a 3-4 scorecard!

 

Gusts of wind hit the circuit hard for race two, and it was clear that the ultra-professional riders were in a cautious mood over the many big jumps around the track.  Febvre rocketed into the lead for his fourth Fox Holeshot Award of the season, while Fernandez held back the two Red Bull KTMs of Coenen and Herlings.

Coldenhoff was still in the hunt in fifth ahead of Vlaanderen, while Kevin Horgmo of Team Motul Honda Motoblouz SR ran well up in seventh, in his first GP back from a shoulder injury sustained at Ernée.  Cairoli held onto eighth ahead of his Aruba.it Ducati teammate Jeremy Seewer, while Forato backed up his first race result with tenth in race two, enough to earn him eighth overall ahead of Horgmo and Seewer. 

Cairoli was as impressive as always with seventh overall, and Vlaanderen finished sixth again to take that position in the GP.  It was one of those races where the riders were equally matched and passing proved next to impossible.  Herlings was unable to make his early pressure on Coenen pay off with an overtake, and ultimately the closest battle was between him and his compatriot Coldenhoff, who twice drew level to take fourth but simply could not force past the canny GP-win record holder.

Herlings’ two fourth places were only good enough for fifth overall, while Fernandez put in a solid ride for second to claim fourth on the day. Coldenhoff took third overall for his first podium in over two months, as Coenen took second overall for the fifth straight Grand Prix.  Febvre was peerless to take his 25th career GP victory, and increases his Championship lead to 32 points over his teenage pursuer.  Fernandez advances to fourth in the series behind Coldenhoff but ahead of the absent Maxime Renaux, while Herlings is now sixth in the Championship! Vlaanderen advanced to seventh at the expense of the injured Tim Gajser and Bonacorsi, who had a very disappointing British GP in 16th overall.

The Championship takes the next two weekends off before the MXGP of Finland on the 12th & 13th of July.  Who will cope with a brand-new circuit better than the rest? Join us to find out!

 

Romain Febvre: "It's been a good weekend. Like I said yesterday, I felt really good on the track. Yesterday was good, but in the first race I didn’t get the start. I came close to the front at some point, but in the end they had a little bit more pace and I had to fight hard to come back. So I finished third. But in the second race I pulled the holeshot and that changed my life. I could ride free, take my own lines, and make a gap. Fernandez was coming back at the end, he was quite strong, but I won the overall. So yeah, it’s been a really good weekend. Thanks to all my sponsors and my team."

Lucas Coenen: "I felt bad the whole weekend on track. I struggled big time on Saturday and just tried to fix it for today, but still I didn’t really feel my flow. Also the down starts with the 450, there’s a lot of power and I need to get used to that. First race  I got the holeshot, that was good, but then I had a tip-over, they passed me, and I tried to come back but couldn’t manage to pass. Then, not the best start in race 2 and I tried to pass Fernandez but it was a bit sketchy, so I ran out of time. But yeah, we know what to work on and looking forward to the rest."

Glenn Coldenhoff: “Actually, the whole weekend was great. I was feeling good on the bike, the bike was working amazingly. My start wasn’t that good in the second race, but I kept fighting all the way. I even thought I wouldn’t be on the podium. I thought I had to pass Herlings, and I did everything I could. But it’s really difficult to pass, especially a fast guy like Jeffrey."

Längenfelder backed up his Qualifying Race win with the fastest time in Sunday morning Warm Up, but Championship chaser Andrea Adamo gave notice of his challenge by finishing just 25 thousandths of a second behind his fellow Red Bull KTM Factory Racing pilot!

Indeed it was Adamo who took his fourth Fox Holeshot Award of the season in race one, with Sacha Coenen in second momentarily, before the Gabriel SS24 KTM Factory Juniors machine of Oriol Oliver forced past him in the third corner, and to everyone’s surprise suddenly leapt to the inside of Adamo after the big quad jump to lead the race!

David Braceras held fourth for JM Racing Honda, while at the start of the first full lap, Guillem Farres completed the Spanish triple threat by pushing past Längenfelder to take fifth for Monster Energy Triumph Racing!

Adamo suffered a small but awkward crash on a downhill drop-off midway through the first full lap, and dropped back to 12th place as he rejoined. Farres relegated Braceras to fourth on lap two, while Reigning Champ Kay de Wolf was now sixth for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing, trying to pass Längenfelder.    

After Längenfelder fought past Braceras on lap four, the resilient Spaniard held onto fifth for six laps ahead of the second Monster Energy Triumph of Camden McLellan, who had already forced past De Wolf. On lap ten, the dam broke as four riders went past the Spaniard, then another a lap later, pushing him down to ninth at the finish ahead of a disappointed Adamo.

Kawasaki Racing Team MX2’s lone wolf Mathis Valin was the last rider to pass Braceras to take eighth, but Everts had recovered from an average start and was able to get up to sixth past De Wolf with three laps to go. Up front, however, Oliver had looked in clear control of the race until a tiny error in the wave section, which sent him crashing off the track.  He got back onboard quickly after only losing the lead to Coenen, but Längenfelder had already got back past Farres and was truly clicking with the circuit, up into second on lap eight and reeling in Coenen to take the lead three laps later!

Oliver’s third place was still his career best in MX2, and McLellan also took a good result in winning the battle of the Triumphs for fourth ahead of Farres. Längenfelder’s sixth GP race win of the year left him with a 45-point advantage over Adamo heading into race two!

 

Clearly with an idea to make things look even easier, Längenfelder pulled his fifth Fox Holeshot of the season and didn’t give anyone a chance to catch him, instantly posting sub-two-minute lap times that the rest simply couldn’t live with! Everts made a good attempt with a much better start in second, while Thibault Benistant, a disappointed 11th in race one for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2, took third early on and had a lucky escape when a mistake in the waves was only corrected due to Oliver falling over his back wheel!

The unlucky Spaniard picked the bike up outside the top twenty, and begun a majestic charge through the pack that would eventually see him cross the line in tenth place! Farres inherited fourth due to the crash, with Coenen, Adamo, and Valin in hot pursuit!

Race two was not as kind to De Wolf or McLellan, who ended the race unable to move forward from eighth and ninth, leaving De Wolf tenth overall and facing a 70-point gap to Längenfelder in order to defend his #1 plate.  Valin would finish seventh in race two to claim that position overall, while further ahead it was Coenen who was struggling the most with the dryer conditions, taking sixth in the race after being hit on the top lip by a big stone. 

Adamo was able to pass the young Belgian, and then Farres at exactly halfway, but could progress no further than fourth to take eighth overall behind McLellan, while Benistant’s steady third place was enough for sixth.

Oliver’s fightback had rightfully earnt himself a top five overall finish, putting him just into the top ten of the series, and you feel that a podium cannot be far away! Farres was fourth overall with his two fourth positions, while Coenen was able to claim yet another podium behind Everts and the imperious Längenfelder.  The German now holds a significant 52-point lead in the series with eight rounds left to race!

Nobody knows what to expect from the new Iitti-Kymi Ring venue in Finland, which will host round thirteen after two weekends off.  Join us there with a refreshed field of riders ready to make their mark on the new track!  The unexpected is always fun!

 

Simon Längenfelder: “What can I say? It went perfect. It was a great weekend. Especially coming back in that first race from sixth to first.. that was a great feeling. And backing it up in the second race is awesome. Now we have two weekends of break, so I think we have time to recover and then start the last push."

Liam Everts: "I actually felt my first race was a bit better. I just got a horrendous jump but the riding was really good. In the second one I got a good jump and rode solid laps. I tried to stay with Simon, but he just had a little bit extra in some details. But it’s a good confidence boost going into two weekends off. I’m gonna enjoy it."

Sacha Coenen: "Definitely not the easiest weekend. So yeah, finishing with the podium is quite nice. Second race, I just got hit by a rock on the first lap, so had a lot of pain. But yeah, just put my head down. So  we just finished P3 overall.. it’s better than nothing."
