The Monster Energy Yamaha #89 machine could be a blue and black blur in the shallow sand of the Assen circuit this weekend for the penultimate round of 2017 MXGP. Jeremy Van Horebeek is motivated to end the long nineteen round Grand Prix season with a third podium finish this year and the capable sand rider should be among the front runners at the famous motorsport course.

Clement Desalle talks MXGP #mylid

September 05 2017

28 year old Monster Energy Kawasaki MXGP star Clement Desalle has a rather mean-looking Panda as part of his race number and attached to the rear of his Airoh helmet. The stylish and fast Belgian has been associated with the large Asian animal for most of his decade-long career in Grand Prix: the contrasting colours matching Desalle’s cool but economical riding style and his dizzying speed as one of the main protagonists of the FIM Motocross World Championship.

Tomac hits podium form at USGP swelter

September 04 2017

The Monster Energy USGP brought MXGP excitedly to American soil and to a new venue outside of Jacksonville, Florida where the final throes of an ultra-contested FIM World Championship came to life. The 2017 campaign will wrap in two weeks time with events at Assen, Holland and Villars sous Ecot in France following a stuffy and fast fixture at WW Motocross Park on the east coast of the USA and where Jeffrey Herlings triumphed for the fourth time in the seventeen rounds held to-date. Also on the box was Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac who turned around a difficult practice and qualification on Saturday to win the first race and classify as runner-up when it counted.

Febvre makes it happen in Swedish MXGP with first 2017 podium finish

August 20 2017

Daylight lingers longer around Uddevalla than any other round of the MXGP series but it was also Monster Energy Yamaha’s Romain Febvre who shone that bit brighter at a busy Grand Prix of Sweden and the sixteenth chase of nineteen. The FIM World Championship journeyed to the further point north on its global trek and as the season hurries to a conclusion with events in the USA, Holland and France still to go. Uddevalla came back into the MXGP picture after a year in the shade and the thundery climate and frequent showers helped churn the undulating hard-pack layout into a slick but attackable layout.

Paturel makes the breakthrough for Swiss Grand Prix victory

August 13 2017

Like some of the stereotypical aspects of Switzerland the fifteenth round of nineteen of 2017 MXGP at Frauenfeld demanded clockwork precision and provided some actions scenes that were delectable as the country’s famous chocolate. For the second year in a row this ram-packed fixture on the Grand Prix slate was another sterling and memorable occurrence and was stamped by a noisy 40,000 attendance and hot sunshine. On this fantastic stage Kemea Yamaha’s Benoit Paturel broke the floodgates by securing his first ever Grand Prix win in the MX2 class.

Monster Energy Yamaha will be able to count on Jeremy Van Horebeek’s smooth style and versatile skill set for another year at the front of MXGP after the Belgian recently inked a contract to extend his stay on the factory YZ450FM for a fifth term. The 27 year old has been an ever-present force among the leading group of Grand Prix stars of the FIM Motocross World Championship since moving into the premier class in 2013, and has an enviable Motocross of Nations record with medals for each of his appearances in the distinctive Belgian black, yellow and red colours.

Desalle content with fourth place through hellish Lommel sand

August 07 2017

The busy ‘Fritturs’ were not the only things that were cooking at Lommel this weekend. The Grand Prix of Belgium took place in the devilishly rough sand for the fourth year in a row and in spite of a revised track layout and changeable weather conditions - that saw the site awash in the wake of two torrential rain showers on Saturday - the terrain was still arguably the hardest test of man and machine on the MXGP calendar.

February 20 2017

2017 MXGP: have your best guess. From the seven factory teams and twenty-three riders that boast Grand Prix podium experience – another nineteen having walked the highest plinth inside that desirable winners circle – the eventual victor of the opening round of the FIM Motocross World Championship at Losail in Qatar is almost impossible to call.
