MXGP launched across a new frontier with the eighteenth and final round of the 2019 FIM Motocross World Championship. The Grand Prix of China brought the highest level of the sport to the country for the very first time, and the Fengxian area - south of the sprawling coastal metropolis - was home to a sandy, jumpy and challenging new track for the elite.
In warm temperatures 25,000 curious spectators ventured into the new grandstands throughout the weekend as a long MXGP campaign rolled across the finish line. Jeffrey Herlings and Jorge Prado celebrated victory for the second weekend in a row – the KTM duo had triumphed in Turkey the previous Sunday – but there were other small distinctions in the wake of the last four ‘motos’ of 2019.
