David Luongo the CEO for Infront Motorsports pretty much saw it as we all did, a special season, with special talents involved. Below is Mr Luongo's look at what went down this season.

Epic! This is the word that comes to my mind to recap the last month and the end of the 2021 MXGP World Championship! 

This season has definitively entered the history of the MXGP as one of the most disputed, spectacular and exciting of its kind. Before MXGP of Spain, Jeffrey Herlings, Romain Febvre and Tim Gajser were separated by just 10 points. More than 20,000 fans came to the Madrid’s track to support Jorge Prado and be spectators of this amazing racing! The organizer of the MXGP of Spain won the Award of the Best Organizer of the season and I can say that they really put the level of welcoming the MX fans to a very high level! 

But coming back to the last sprint of the season, with 5 races in a row in Italy in 20 days on two very different tracks of Pietramurata and Mantova. Nobody could really predict what would happen! And race after race the pressure and the show continued to reach new highs. The MXGP of Pietramurata (Trentino 2) has been probably the most beautiful race of the last 30 years with the battle between the 3 top guns of our championship. The Grand Finale in Mantova with the famous “Winner take it all” during the last race will be in the minds of everybody forever! Romain and Jeffrey started the last gate drop of the year tied on points, something that has never happened in our sport (after 875 points distributed!). I would like to congratulate Jeffrey Herlings for the win but also Romain Febvre and Tim Gajser for their fantastic season!

The last Grand Prix of the season was also very emotional because it was the end of the MXGP career of Antonio Cairoli. Tony is a fantastic champion, but also a fantastic person. He has been racing in the World Championship for 18 years and has been part of the development of the MXGP championship and its entry into the modern era! He won 9 World Titles but the most important thing, he always has been a fantastic ambassador for our sport! On behalf of all the Infront Moto Racing team, I would like to thank him for all that he did for our sport!

Maxime Renaux won his very first MX2 World Championship after a very strong season and performance, putting him on the top of the hierarchy of the MX2 category. It will be very interesting to see next season as the level of MX2 is getting compact again with Vialle and Geerts! 

This fantastic conclusion of the MXGP World Championship is the best reward for all the organizers, partners and workers that never stopped believing and investing in the MXGP despite the Covid-19 crisis and all the challenges that it brought the last 2 years. This last month and all the emotions that our favorite sport created to our fans worldwide is the biggest reward for all of us. The last two years have been very difficult to allow us to deliver a complete championship, but we managed to make 18 Grand Prix and the Monster Energy Motocross of Nations. We are on the right path back to normality! The answer from the public was fantastic. From the MXGP of Germany we were able to host more public and we saw the attendance growing up until the end of the season.  

I would like to thank the FIM, FIM Europe, all our organizers, our partners, the manufacturers for their great support and all the riders, from the EMX65cc to the MXGP, for the great show they gave to all of us this season!

We cannot wait to arrive in February 2022 to start again the engines!
