Romain Febvre is the MXGP World Champion!

With two rounds left to go in the 2015 FIM Motocross World Championship Yamaha Factory Racing Yamalube’s rookie sensation Romain Febvre has clinched the coveted 2015 MXGP World Title. The extremely talented Frenchman went into the MXGP of The Netherlands with a 101 point lead over fellow countryman Gautier Paulin. To be crowned champ, he had to take the same or more points as Paulin. In race one yesterday, Febvre couldn’t quite find his rhythm but still managed to finish fifth. But just as a true champion, the 23 year old went into race two with a calm head and told himself “I just want to ride like I can, if it’s not today then hopefully it’s next time in Mexico”, and with that attitude Febvre put in a performance reflective of his monumental season and won the race convincingly for second overall at the grand prix, his eleventh consecutive podium, and was crowned the 2015 FIM Motocross World Champion.

With the title wrapped up, Febvre can cruise the last two rounds of the MXGP world championship which will take place in Mexico and the USA before switching his focus to the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nation where he could potentially put a cherry on top of the cake with a victory for France.
