COZAR (Spain) 27 September 2024 – Infront Moto Racing is thrilled to announce that the 2025 MXGP of Argentina will be held in Cordoba, in the vibrant province of the same name, marking a significant milestone for both the sport and the region. The event, scheduled for the opening round of the season on the 2nd of March 2025, will not only debut a new venue but also spearhead a transformative development project in the area.

The new venue in Cordoba will serve as the epicentre for an ambitious project that includes the construction of a state-of-the-art shopping mall and a luxury real estate development featuring hotels and residential spaces. This endeavour is set to bring global attention to Cordoba, enhancing its status as a premier destination for international sports. The MXGP of Argentina is expected to be a key driver in this transformation, with a commitment to remain in Cordoba for the next three years.

Infront Moto Racing will continue its successful collaboration with the local organizer, +eventos, led by CEO Davide Eli, to bring the MXGP of Argentina to life. Thanks to a wealth of experience from previous Argentinian GPs, the event will for sure be unforgettable and one that will set a new standard for motocross in South America.

Infront Moto Racing CEO, David Luongo: “MXGP is back to Argentina, to the beautiful city of Cordoba. I would like to thank Martin Llarryora for all the effort and the support the authorities gave to the MXGP to be back there. I want to thank also the local organizer, David Eli, he is our collaborator for many years now, and thanks to him, the MXGP has a long history now in Argentina. All the MXGP paddock is super exciting to go back to this great country, one of the biggest markets of motocross around the world, and also one of the best fans of the year, so we are super happy to be back there for the opening round. see you in Cordoba next year."

+eventos CEO Davide Eli: "I’m excited to announce the arrival of the MXGP in Cordoba. This is an expanding event, which is also very attractive for all the fans in the region and we believe that this new venue will boost it even more thanks to the logistic facilities that Cordoba offers - among other things -. I would especially like to thank the provincial government for opening its doors to us and our partner, Infinito, for joining us in this great adventure.
I would also like to thank Infront Moto Racing for the trust they have placed in us for so many years. For last but not least, I would like to refer to our loyal public and tell them that we are honoured by the way they have always accompanied this event, and I have no doubt that this time it will be the same. Of course, I would also like to invite all those who have just discovered this competition to join us. You will not regret it. It is an amazing sporting spectacle, which is also very entertaining to witness."

COZAR (Spain) 26 September 2024 – It’s time for the Champions to be crowned in both classes of the 2024 MXGP Motocross World Championships, as the Spanish venue of Cozar hosts the 20th and final round of the series, the MXGP of Castilla La Mancha!

Named after the landlocked autonomous community that it is set in, the circuit is part of the Circuito Motor Ranch, to be found around 240km south of the capital Madrid and 130km west of the city of Albacete.  The venue will be the 19th circuit in Spain to ever host a Motocross Grand Prix, and the second in the Castilla La Mancha region after Talavera de la Reina.  This is our third visit to Spain this season, and home hero Jorge Prado has taken victory in both previous rounds for Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing in MXGP. Kay de Wolf took the victory in MX2 at intu-Xanadu Arroyomolinos,  but his Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing teammate Lucas Coenen won overall at Lugo for the MXGP of Galicia in May.

The MXGP world title will be decided between reigning World Champion Prado and Team HRC’s Tim Gajser, who lost the points lead in China and now sits just seven points behind his rival! Jeffrey Herlings has a slim mathematical chance for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, but a 48-point gap to Prado makes his chance a very remote one.

The year-long tussle for the MX2 World Championship between Dutchman De Wolf and Belgian Lucas Coenen is closer than it’s been since the opening round, with the chasing Coenen closing in with the last two GP wins to trim the gap to 36 points. As in MXGP, it will go down to the very last day of the Championship, which also just happens to be De Wolf’s 20th birthday!

There will be more Champions crowned at Cozar, as the EMX250 European Championship has its final round to decide the three-way battle between series leader Mathis Valin, the Frenchman on the Bud Racing Kawasaki, Italian Valerio Lata for Beddini GASGAS Factory Juniors, and Dutch flyer Cas Valk, who is fresh from winning the British MX2 Championship for Gabriel SS24 KTM last weekend! Valin holds a 21-point lead over Lata, so could clinch the title in race one, and Valk is ten points further back in third.  All three are MX2-bound for 2025, so this is their last chance for claiming EMX Championship glory!

The EMX125 Championship Presented by FMF also comes to its conclusion this weekend, and this one is even closer than MXGP, with just six points between new leader Gyan Doensen, the Dutchman on the Racestore KTM Factory Rookies team, and Hungarian Noel Zanocz for Fantic Factory Racing EMX125, who also field the Italian Simone Mancini, who has a small mathematical chance in third place, 32 points behind Doensen.

So with four Championships being decided over the weekend, the MXGP of Castilla La Mancha looks set to be an event full of celebration!

While the top three in the Championship have a total of 13 World Championships between them, with this year being the 14th, only two of those titles have truly been decided in the final round of a series!

Jorge Prado technically did clinch the 2018 MX2 world title, his first, in the final round, but his chief rival that year, Pauls Jonass, had already ruled himself out of that race with injury.  Tim Gajser’s only final-round title win was also his first, in 2015, against Jonass as well, when he came in with an 18-point advantage over his main chaser.

Of course, the big final round showdown in recent years was the 2021 MXGP World Championships, where Jeffrey Herlings clinched the title in the final race of the year, ahead of Romain Febvre and Gajser!  This year’s situation is certainly a new one for both contenders, and with the extra factor of Prado being in front of a home crowd, it will be intriguing to see who will come out on top!

Overall the top contenders have had varied success in Spain, as Herlings has the most among them with 4 victories, two in each class, whereas Prado has three wins, two at Xanadu and one at Lugo. Tim Gajser has to look back to his first MXGP title year in 2016 for his only win on Spanish soil, at Talavera de la Reina. Maxime Renaux, enjoying a strong return from injury for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP, has won twice on Spanish soil before, once in each class at intu-Xanadu Arroyomolinos.  Valentin Guillod of Team Ship-to-Cycle Honda Motoblouz SR has won in this area before, taking the MX2 class at Talavera in 2015! 

Cozar will also see the second appearance in MXGP for the Ducati Factory MX Team, with Italian pilot Alessandro Lupino at the controls of the Desmo450 MX this time. They will be with us full-time in 2025 with Jeremy Seewer, who races for the last time with the Kawasaki Racing Team in Cozar and is looking to seal fourth in the series ahead of teammate Febvre!

Home fans will also be keen to see a strong showing for Ruben Fernandez, who was unable to compete on home soil earlier in the year for Team HRC, although for sure most of their support will be given to Prado, who aims to make it a clean sweep of Spanish victories in 2024 and win his second straight world title in the process!

MXGP - World Championship Top 10 Classification: 1. Jorge Prado (ESP, GAS), 943 Points; 2. Tim Gajser (SLO, HON), 936 Points; 3. Jeffrey Herlings (NED, KTM), 895 Pts; 4.

In contrast to MXGP, the MX2 class will see a new World Champion in 2024, and for the first time since Alessio Chiodi won in the 125cc class in 1999, it will go to a Husqvarna rider, the 17th title for the brand and the first under its current Austrian ownership!

Kay de Wolf is looking to defend his 36-point advantage over Lucas Coenen, and the pair have each won a GP on Spanish soil this season.  If Lucas makes less than 11 points on Kay through the RAM Qualifying Race and the first GP race on Sunday, then the Dutchman will be crowned Champion before the final gate drop of the campaign.  However, Lucas Coenen has been on scintillating form, taking victory in both Türkiye and China to help his chances of wrestling the glory from his teammate!

Simon Laengenfelder is the only other rider in the field who has also won before on Spanish ground, having won the 2023 MX2 GP at intu-Xanadu Arroyomolinos.  He is confirmed as the bronze medallist for the season but has still yet to win a Grand Prix for Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing this season.  With the pressure off, the German will be going all out to claim a first-place trophy on his favoured hard pack surface!

Another one keen to break his record of no GP wins for the year will be outgoing MX2 World Champion Andrea Adamo, who is sixth in the standings for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, while his teammate Liam Everts is confirmed in fourth despite being knocked out of the series with his crash in Shanghai.  We all wish him a speedy recovery.

Mikkel Haarup will be looking to crown a successful debut season for the Monster Energy Triumph Racing team by holding onto fifth in the series and hoping for at least a podium in what will be his last MX2 Grand Prix. 

Thibault Benistant won the RAM Qualifying Race at Lugo for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 and has had an impressive return from injury since the MXGP of Switzerland. His teammate Rick Elzinga is confirmed in seventh place for the year and will be looking to end 2024 in style!

Spanish riders Oriol Oliver for WZ Racing KTM, David Braceras for Fantic Factory Racing MX2, and Yago Martinez for TM Moto Racing will all be looking forward to the home crowd atmosphere.

The racing is sure to be intense with the title on the line in MX2, and as it has been all year the results are almost impossible to predict! Do not miss it!

MX2 - World Championship Top 10 Classification: 1. Kay de Wolf (NED, HUS), 915 Points; 2.  Lucas Coenen (BEL, HUS), 879 Pts;  3. Simon Laengenfelder (GER, GAS), 811 Points;  4.

The two men, who might have to wait another year, might be Tim Gajser and Lucas Coenen.

While Gajser is just seven points behind Prado in the MXGP championship points, the Spaniard has huge momentum and makes very few mistakes. In the MX2 class, de Wolf holds a 36-point lead over Coenen and that would seem more than enough to be handed the MX2 World title.

For Prado, it has been a rollercoaster journey of many different experiences. He has won 10 GPs in 2024, led more laps than any other riders, but it was only in China last weekend, that he was able to regain the red plate, he had held from round one in Argentina, until the 10th round at Maggiora, in Italy.

"The MXGP of China is done,” Prado said. “And it was a great weekend for me. I went P1 in practice, then finished second in the first race and first in the second race. It was very tough physically - very humid, with high temperatures. After the first race, I gave it my all and focused on finishing the weekend as strong as possible. We did that, and now we have the red plate and a seven-point lead with one round left. This gives us a dream opportunity at the end of the season, and I’m so excited for the final round in Spain. I don’t think anyone expected us to come out of this GP with the red plate. We worked really hard on the bike this weekend, and I think my riding was great. We got the points we were aiming for, and I’m super, super happy - I still can’t believe it! Let’s get the title in Spain!”

As for Gajser, he had a very cruel round in China, losing the red plate and dropped the 14 points advantage he had over Prado. The HRC man was a very sad figure as he left the Chinese Republic and will no doubt not give up on the dream of winning his sixth World title, but he also has to depend on Prado making mistakes.

“After having such a consistent season, to have a day like today at such a crucial time is hard to take. To lose the championship red plate with one round left is definitely not what I wanted to happen and now I know that with three races to go, I have to win them all. It isn’t an ideal situation, but I will keep fighting and give my all until the very end.”

Dutchman de Wolf can become the first Dutchman, whose name is not Jeffrey Herlings, to win a World motocross championship since Pedro Tragter in 1993. Having led the points since round one, de Wolf knows he has to finish well in both races in Spain to make it a sure thing.

“I gave it everything out there today,” de Wolf said. “The conditions were tough with the heat and the threat of the typhoon, but I’m happy with my performance overall. After taking the lead in the second race, I made a small mistake that cost me, but I’m glad I managed to fight back and secure second. Lucas is closing the gap in the standings, so I know I have to stay sharp. It's going to be an exciting final round in Spain, and I’m ready to give it everything to bring home the title!”

And then there was Lucas Coenen, the young teenager will have more chances at winning a World title, but his form has been good of late, winning GPs Sweden, Holland, Turkey and China in the last six weeks and is without question the fastest guy in the MX2 class at the moment, but he handed de Wolf a big points advantage with his inconsistency.

"I need to push,” Coenen said. “I need to get every single point I can - we only have one race left now. The heat in China has been very intense; when you stop the race it is actually more, so it has been important to try to recover physically. I want to say sorry to Liam Everts, it was a total mistake to make contact, and I hope he is ok! For the championship, I’ve got my fight on now - I want to beat him [Kay de Wolf], and just win every race. I’m doing everything I can, so let’s see how things go at the final race in Spain. Let’s go!"

So, onto Spain and the final round of the series. Two championships to be won, but four men working over-time to try and win those exclusive World motocross titles. Whatever happens, our 2024 season has been sensational, and the sport deserves this exciting finish.
