MXGP set to unleash the beast for five more years

“Monster is synonymous with motorsport racing and we are very happy with world class racing efforts: this is clearly what Youthstream provide us with MXGP,” said Director of Motorsports Dave Gowland. “MXGP is a compelling show to people who are interested in racing and the sport of motocross. We’d like to thank everybody who has been a part of this partnership. We are involved with many different series but this is one of the best.”

MXGP has thrilled its international audience with a sustained battle between two incredible athletes like Jeffrey Herlings and Tony Cairoli in 2018. The fact that the Dutchman and the Italian could duke-it-out over so many races and cast a shadow over the likes of talent like Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Clement Desalle, HRC’s Tim Gajser and Monster Energy Yamaha’s Romain Febvre is testament to the crazy-high level the championship currently finds itself at.

Simply put: MXGP is setting the pace. And Monster Energy is happy to keep up the speed alongside.

The deal was aired at the 2018 season-closer at Imola. The famous Italian stage was also home to announcement that Yamaha Motor Europe and Monster will maintain and spread their link-up to encompass a full world and European MX package: it’ll not only back the stars ‘of the moment’ but those that are fresh on the block and gunning for tomorrow. Yamaha treated the paddock to a view of the 2019 livery of the factory YZ450FM; a scheme harking to the jet-black first years of the partnership back in 2008.
