• The final curtain falls on Dylan Ferrandis, who hangs up his helmet after a brilliant career in the World Championship and in the USA. 
• By both winning in Latvia, Sacha and Lucas Coenen have brought the total number of victories for Belgian riders to over 600 since the creation of the World Championships. A brief retrospective was in order! 
• How does one go from top-level rider to coach? Clément Desalle, Kevin Strijbos, Marc De Reuver, and Jacky Vimond tell us more about their second careers. 
• The return of ‘Travel with us’ to coincide with the return of a GP to South Africa. 
• 30 years ago, World motocross entered a new era.

Book available for pre-order in standard or limited edition. 

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.

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.”

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 6 October 2026 – MXGP 26, the official video game of the FIM Motocross World Championship, is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam. It is developed by Lyon-based Artefacts Studio and published by Nacon.

This year's edition is a clean-sheet rebuild. The series has moved to Unreal Engine 5, targeting 60 FPS, and the riding physics have been rebuilt from scratch around weight and traction. Real-time track deformation means persistent ruts reshape the racing line lap after lap. A new free-roam area, The Compound, joins the Grand Prix, Championship, Time Attack and Online Multiplayer modes.

The game features 19 official tracks from the 2026 MXGP and MX2 calendar and 16 official bikes. Several new features were shaped directly by player feedback:

• reworked bike behaviour through ruts
• sand that behaves as its own surface type
• adjustable field of view for each camera
• a dynamic paddock filled with real team liveries
• custom-made champion liveries
• unlockable Scrub Designz and MADE sticker kits

Fans got their first chance to play MXGP 26 at the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations in Ernée, France, last weekend. Nacon was on site all weekend with a public gaming area where fans could get their hands on the game, and the response from the crowd was overwhelmingly positive.

Inside the Media Centre, a dedicated activation booth let journalists, riders and members of the paddock try the game between sessions. It gave the people who live the sport every weekend a first-hand look at how close the virtual experience now comes to the real thing.

MXGP 26: The Official Game

ERNÉE (France), 4 October 2026 - Infront Moto Racing is very happy to announce the renewal of its agreement with BMK Uddevalla for a further three years, keeping the MXGP of Sweden on the FIM Motocross World Championship calendar through to the end of the 2029 season. The announcement was made in Ernée in the presence of Tobias Revelj, President of BMK Uddevalla.

The Swedish Grand Prix has become a staple of the calendar. Uddevalla first welcomed the World Championship back in 1958 and has been a regular fixture since the early 2000s, with its natural circuit nestled against the rock face of the Glimminge Motorstadium producing some of the most memorable racing of the modern era. Legends such as Stefan Everts, Joël Smets, Antonio Cairoli, Jeffrey Herlings and Tim Gajser have all raced on its hard-pack slopes.

A NATION BEHIND ITS HEROES

The recent enthusiasm surrounding the Swedish Grand Prix is another indication of the passion for motocross in Sweden. Few moments capture it better than the 2024 edition, when Isak Gifting, the Viking, delivered one of the most dramatic races in recent history. Riding in front of his home crowd, Gifting charged into contention in the second MXGP race, passed Jeffrey Herlings and took the fight to championship leader Romain Febvre, before a crash just a handful of corners from the flag and a bike that refused to restart ended the fairy tale. The result was cruel, but the roar from the hillside that day told the whole story.

With this renewal, Swedish fans will be able to rally behind their national heroes for the next three years, in the hope of seeing a Swedish winner on home soil very soon.

David Luongo, CEO & President of Infront Moto Racing: "Uddevalla has been an iconic circuit on the GP calendar for decades, and it has always managed to modernise itself. Since Tobias joined the presidency of the club with his team and a modern vision of motocross, we have given a new dynamic to the Grand Prix. In summer we are all super happy to go to Sweden, and this year we broke the spectator record. The camping was full, with fans coming from the Netherlands, Belgium, France and across Central Europe, and with activities like the Ocean Challenge on Friday, families take home a great memory of the weekend. It is a pleasure to work together for another three years."

Antonio Alia Portela, FIM / CMS Director: "Going back to Uddevalla for another term guarantees the variety of tracks in MXGP. With its layout and its technical side, it is special and iconic like no other. Then there is the spectacular power of the public and the passion they show when they see their own riders on the track, and when those riders are at the top, the atmosphere grows even more. New Swedish riders are coming through the European series, and we hope to see them at the top in Uddevalla, where they can really flourish."

Tobias Revelj, President of BMK Uddevalla: "Of course it is very important for Uddevalla, but also for the whole of Scandinavia, because we also have many riders from Norway and Denmark. It is very important for Uddevalla as a community. Our strength comes from the club members, but also from the many clubs around Uddevalla who help us, and that is very important for us."

ERNÉE (France), 4 October 2026 - Infront Moto Racing is thrilled to announce a five-year renewal of the MXGP of Flanders in Lommel, securing one of the most iconic venues in the sport on the FIM Motocross World Championship calendar through to the end of the 2031 season. The agreement was announced in Ernée in the presence of the event organisers, Johan Boonen, Ann Plas and Jo De Munck.

The MXGP of Flanders needs no introduction. Lommel has hosted the World Championship since 1990 and is known across the world as the temple of motocross. Year after year, its treacherous, ever-changing sand produces spectacular racing, testing the fitness, technique and mental strength of every rider on the gate, while the outstanding organisation is cherished by fans, riders and the paddock alike.

THE HEART OF THE PADDOCK

Signing for another five years is very exciting for motocross and for MXGP. Lommel is not only a Grand Prix venue, it is where the championship lives for much of the year, with a large number of teams and riders based in and around the town and training on its sand. For many in the paddock, the MXGP of Flanders is the closest thing to a home race.

The importance of Belgium to motocross is highlighted by the stunning Grand Prix in Lommel, which has also hosted the Motocross of Nations and continues to attract huge crowds every summer.

David Luongo, CEO & President of Infront Moto Racing: "Lommel is one of the most important races we have. For me it is like the Monaco Grand Prix for Formula 1, a very specific event where the whole industry gathers around the track, and the one every rider wants to put his name on. The relationship with Johan and his team is always fantastic, and every year they raise the bar in quality and presentation. This year they broke the spectator record and gave the fans more space to see the whole track. Every two or three years they renew the layout and create new areas. It is a real gathering for our whole community, so for us as promoter it is always a great pleasure to renew it."

Antonio Alia Portela, FIM / CMS Director: "Having Lommel on the calendar for the next five years is a way to consolidate the series. Everybody knows how iconic and demanding the track is, and you never know what the layout will be until you get there, because every year Johan and his team find a new way to make it even more demanding. We expect the unexpected, and they always surprise us. The facilities, the preparation and the people we work with there are fantastic. I wish them all the best for the next five years, and I am sure we will witness the evolution of this place again and again."

Johan Boonen, Ann Plas and Jo de Munck, Organisers of the MXGP of Flanders: “‘We are delighted to sign this new long-term agreement with Infront, extending our partnership for a longer period than ever before since we started organizing the Grand Prix of Flanders in Lommel back in 2008.

This longer-term commitment gives us the perspective and stability to further invest in both our organisation and the venue’s infrastructure, in close cooperation with the Stedelijk Motorcrosscentrum, which is responsible for the daily operation of the track.

Mobility to and around the event will remain an important point of attention in the coming years. We are confident that, together with the City of Lommel, we can continue to work towards sustainable solutions.

Our ambition for the coming years is to keep improving the visitor experience and to further develop Lommel as the place to be when it comes to motocross. 

We want to build on that legacy and make the Grand Prix and it’s venue even more iconic than they already are, living up to it’s nickname “Lommelwood”.
