For the second year in a row MXGP will tear out of the start gate at the plush Neuquen circuit in the heart of Argentina’s mesmerising Patagonia region: where the beauty of the lakes, mountains and greenery is only ignored when the furious sight of high-level motorcycle racing action cranks into motion.
Now 62 years old, the FIM Motocross World Championship – ‘MXGP’ – gets ready for another continent-hopping season where sixteen different countries will be visited and blasted in a period of just seven months. From the loose soil of Neuquen in Patagonia, to the vast jumps of Matterley Basin in the UK, the endless sandy bumps and holes of Lommel in Belgium, the insufferable heat and hard-pack of Semarang in Indonesia and the speed and spectacular leaps of Afyonkarahisar in Turkey, MXGP will again be the ultimate test of man and motorcycle.
