CALENDAR UPDATE : MXGP EXPANDS TO FIVE CONTINENTS IN 2026 WITH SOUTH AFRICA RETURN IN JULY

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 22 December 2025 — Infront Moto Racing is thrilled to announce that MXGP will return to South African soil for the first time in 18 years, as Johannesburg is set to host, at the Terra Topia Motocross Track, the MXGP of South Africa on 4–5 July 2026, bringing the FIM Motocross World Championship back to the African continent.

This will be marking a major addition to the overseas segment of the championship and truly bring MXGP to five continents. This return represents a significant moment for MXGP, renewing a long-standing connection between the series and South Africa. The country first welcomed the World Championship in 1985, when a 250cc Grand Prix was held at Corobrik Park near Johannesburg, won by Jacky Vimond. MXGP later returned with three consecutive rounds at Sun City between 2004 and 2006, producing Grand Prix winners such as legends such Stefan Everts, a rising Antonio Cairoli, Josh Coppins and Mickael Pichon.

The most recent MXGP event in South Africa took place in 2008 at Nelspruit, featuring MX1 and MX2 racing, with victories claimed by Jonathan Barragan and Tommy Searle.

The confirmation of Johannesburg as a 2026 host underlines MXGP’s status as a truly global championship, committed to delivering world-class motocross across multiple continents. The MXGP of South Africa will once again showcase the sport’s elite riders and teams, bringing top-level competition back to a region with deep motocross heritage.

GP1 EXTENDS MXGP BROADCAST PARTNERSHIP UNTIL 2031

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 22 October 2026 – Infront Moto Racing is pleased to announce that GP1 has renewed its agreement to broadcast the FIM Motocross World Championship for a further five years, keeping MXGP on its channels until the end of the 2031 season.

GP1 has been broadcasting MXGP since 2015, first under its former name Kreator TV, and this new agreement takes one of the championship’s most loyal media partnerships to 17 seasons. Motocross fans across Central and Eastern Europe will continue to follow the action from every round of the World Championship, starting with the 20 Grands Prix of the 2027 season.

David Luongo, Infront Moto Racing President & CEO: “GP1 has been with MXGP for more than a decade and has played a huge part in growing motocross across Central and Eastern Europe. Their passion for motorsport and the quality of their production make them a natural home for our championship, and we are delighted to continue this journey together until 2031,”

Davorin Stetner, GP1 CEO: “We are thrilled with the growth of motocross and proud of a partnership that has spanned over a decade. We are excited to sign this new agreement and to ensure that our viewers will continue to enjoy the world’s best motocross on GP1 for the next five years,”

Founded in 2011 as Kreator F1, after acquiring the Formula 1 media rights for Croatia, the channel became Kreator TV in 2013 before rebranding as GP1 in 2022. Today GP1 is an award-winning sports media platform specialised in motorsport, with TV channels in Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, motorsport and F1 news portals, and its own fleet of live TV production units. Headquartered in Jastrebarsko, Croatia, GP1 also produces live coverage of major international events from some of Europe’s leading racetracks.

MXGP 2027 CALENDAR UPDATE: ÁGUEDA CONFIRMED AND SPAIN BECOMES THE MXGP OF EXTREMADURA

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 15 October 2026 - Infront Moto Racing, together with the FIM, is pleased to announce an update to the 2027 FIM Motocross World Championship calendar. Two updates shape next season: one of the championship's best-loved tracks stays on the schedule, and a new name joins the calendar in western Spain.

Águeda confirmed for the MXGP of Portugal

On 22-23 May, the MXGP of Portugal will be held at Águeda, one of the most iconic circuits of the championship. Águeda hosted its first Grand Prix in 1985, when Dave Strijbos won the 125cc class, and 2027 will mark its 28th World Championship event.

Located in the Aveiro District, around 75 km south of Porto, the circuit is famous for its orange hard-pack dirt, natural amphitheatre and passionate Portuguese crowds. Jeffrey Herlings holds the record for most wins at Águeda with six, while Antonio Cairoli sits behind with five and Stefan Everts has four in the historic of the venue. Recent editions have been just as memorable: Pauls Jonass took his first MXGP overall victory there in 2024, and Lucas Coenen swept the 2025 round.

The MXGP of Spain becomes the MXGP of Extremadura

On 18 April, the second Spanish round of the season becomes the MXGP of Extremadura, staged at Merida. The new name puts the spotlight on the western region of Spain, known for its rich heritage, natural landscapes and growing passion for motorsport. Together with the season opener in Andalucía on 28 February, Spain will once again play a key role in the 2027 series.

THE RING OF CHAMPIONS — THE SEAL OF A SEASON, THE LEGACY OF VICTORY

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 7 October 2026 – Every season writes a new chapter in the history of motocross.  Through courage, sacrifice and exceptional skill, champions earn the highest honour our sport can bestow. When the final chequered flag falls, the Ring of Champions places an enduring seal upon their achievement.

Born in Ernée in 2015, this tradition began with the vision of Telemaco Cane, a devoted motocross enthusiast whose distinguished background in jewellery brought together artistic sensitivity, technical expertise and a profound appreciation of sporting excellence.  His idea expressed a powerful conviction: a World Championship deserves a lasting, personal tribute, created to preserve the memory of an extraordinary accomplishment. Drawing upon his experience in jewellery design and craftsmanship, Telemaco conceived and created these unique pieces with meticulous attention to detail.  His understanding of precious materials, form and finish gave tangible expression to the courage and dedication of a champion. 

Individually crafted in precious silver and personalised with commemorative engravings, each ring carries the memory of a victory and the identity of the rider who earned it.

Initially conceived for the MXGP and MX2 World Champions, the tradition grew to embrace the winning riders of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations and, subsequently, the WMX World Champion. Its extension to WMX in 2022 marked a significant moment, bringing the same enduring recognition to the pinnacle of women’s motocross. 

For the individual World Champions, the ring honours the culmination of a season’s relentless pursuit of excellence. 

For the Motocross of Nations winners, it celebrates the exceptional bond between riders who unite their talent and determination in the service of their country.

Its presentation is the ceremonial seal upon the sporting season: a moment in which the intensity of competition gives way to recognition, gratitude and remembrance. Within each ring lives the story of the races contested, the adversity overcome and the ambition fulfilled.

From its origins in Ernée, the Ring of Champions has become a cherished expression of MXGP’s heritage, through Telemaco Cane’s vision and craftsmanship, successive generations of champions are united by a shared symbol of distinction, destined to preserve the memory of their achievements for years to come.

A season reaches its conclusion. A champion’s legacy endures. The Ring of Champions carries that legacy forward.

THE MOTORCYCLING WORLD MOURNS THE PASSING OF ANDREA BARBIERI

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 6 October 2026 - It is with profound sadness and sorrow that the Italian Motorcycling Federation (FMI) announced the passing of Andrea Barbieri, following a long illness.

Andrea was much more than a point of reference in the world of Motocross and motorcycling. He was a trusted person, always ready to help those who had known him for years as well as those who had only recently come into contact with him. Riders – from champions to amateurs – held him in great affection because he was an institutional figure who was always close to them, while industry professionals recognised his expertise and professionalism.

Wherever there was Motocross, Andrea was there. He worked behind the scenes, but everyone knew him. “Ask Andrea, he knows” was a familiar phrase heard at race tracks. He had decades of experience and was always willing to put it at the service of the sport he loved so dearly. His passion was such that he continued to follow it in person until the very end, attending the recently held Motocross of Nations in Ernée. The Maglia Azzurra project, in particular, was a great source of enthusiasm for him, and he followed the Italian team at the major Motocross and Supermoto events.

Barbieri led the FMI Motocross Committee for many years and remained a member of the Committee until his passing. In recent years, he served as Coordinator of the FMI Race Director Committee, also contributing his expertise to the Safety Commission. He was also Chairman of the Motocross Commission of FIM Europe. Throughout his career, he gained extensive experience as a Race Director at the highest national and international levels.

Infront Moto Racing President and CEO David Luongo expressed his condolences:

“The entire MXGP community is mourning the loss of Andrea [Barbieri] today. He represented the FIM Europe Motocross Commission for many years, but above all, he was a friend. Through the European Championships and the Italian Federation, he was devoted to the youth of our sport, and he never counted the hours when it came to motocross. He brought fantastic energy to our whole team, and it was a true pleasure to work alongside him all those years. He stood with us until the very end, as he did just last weekend at the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations. On behalf of Infront Moto Racing and the entire MXGP community, we extend our deepest condolences to his family.”

Particularly heartfelt are the words of FMI President Giovanni Copioli:

“I am deeply saddened because, with Andrea’s passing, I have lost a friend, and the entire Federation has lost one of the most beloved figures in the motorcycling community. We always had constructive discussions, in a spirit of cooperation and with the shared goal of helping motorcycling grow. He was a man of great experience and, in lighter moments, he loved sharing anecdotes and stories from a lifetime spent in Motocross. We will always remember him and carry with us his finest qualities: expertise and willingness to help. I would like to conclude by sending a heartfelt embrace to his son Stefano and to the entire family.”
