Kevin Horgmo, who dreamt to be competing of the Motocross World Championship for a while, will start to train with Marchetti Racing shortly this winter. This new agreement is a big step forward for the young talent and he's looking forward to being part of the team which in the past Team Marchetti contracted riders such as Tim Gajser or Pauls Jonass in the squad who are now World Champions. 

MXGP is happy to keep running the FOX Holeshot competition trough the 19 rounds of the 2019 FIM Motocross World Championship season together with MXGP Partner FOX. 

The way it works is that 1 point is awarded per MXGP or MX2 championship race. The first rider who cross the white line painted on the ground at the exit of the first corner will be given a point. At the end of the season, the 2 riders – one per category - with the most FOX Holeshot points will win a mega prize. 

At the MXGP of Sweden, which took place in Uddevalla the past weekend, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings and Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Romain Febvre took the FOX Holeshot in MXGP Race 1 and Race 2 respectively while in MX2 Class Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle took it in both races.

Following a fall in the final race at the 16th round of the FIM Motocross World Championship in Uddevalla, Sweden, Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP's Romain Febvre has suffered a broken left femur. 

After finishing second position in the opening race, Febvre was chasing the Grand Prix victory in Race 2. The former World Champion took the FOX holeshot onboard his YZ450FM and led the first 13-laps before high-siding over a single-jump after changing his line to pass a rider that was one lap down. He landed heavily on his left thigh and was immediately taken to the trackside Medical Centre for observation. 

The doctors and paramedic's onsite confirmed that his left Femur was broken and transferred him to Trollhättan hospital where he underwent an operation this afternoon, Monday 26th August, to have a rod surgically inserted into the bone for stability. 

Febvre will recover from the operation under the watchful eye of his surgeon at the Trollhättan hospital in Sweden until he is fit enough to travel back to his residence in Belgium. Sadly, the injury will rule the '461' out of the final two MXGP rounds as well as the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations where he was hoping to take Team France to a sixth consecutive victory. 

An update with more information will be shared on Yamaha's Official social media platforms when available.
