Racing Catch-Up: Ready, Set, Go!

It’s almost go time for the 2021 season of the FIM Motocross World Championship, as we begin our countdown to the season opener. This also means that there’s just a couple of months left for the teams and riders to add the final touches to their highly coordinated off-season prep to ensure they’re ready to go!

Every year, as the winter months roll in, riders and teams migrate south to warmer climates in order to get their off-season prep underway. Popular destinations tend to be Spain or Italy, not only for the good weather but also for some of the awesome tracks around the area.

The teams usually base themselves in one of the two countries for a month or more, to get as much riding and testing time in as possible and some will take part in various pre-season races, most notably the Italian Championship.

We caught up with some of the teams and riders during their time in Sardinia, to learn more about their off-season preparation as well as their thoughts heading into the new season of MXGP. Read the full feature in the latest issue of MXGP Magazine. Check it out HERE!
