HISTORY
The Motocross World Championship is the most important Championship for the Motocross category.
It has been organized by the FIM (International Motorcycling Federation) since 1957, when it took over from the previous European Championship.
Initially, the competition is reserved only for 500 cc motorcycles, grouped into a single category.
Later, starting from 1962, a second category was added to the Championship, while in 1975 a third one was added: these are, respectively, the 250 and 125 categories.
A crucial and turning point year for Motocross is 2004, since, by virtue of technological advances in engines and respect for the environment, the FIM changes the rules by introducing four-stroke engines and changing the name of the categories to MX1 , MX2 and MX3, in descending order of displacement.
In the same year, the MX1 class becomes the premier class, which from 2014 is renamed MXGP.
Still in 2014, the MX3 class is abolished.
Today each round of the Motocross World Championship takes place in the form of two races per weekend, each of which is part of the Championship count.
The weekly Grands Prix are won by the rider who has scored the most points, taking into account the position in race 1 and race 2.
In case of a tie, the rider who achieved the best position in race 2 wins.
The rider who scores the most points overall, adding those accumulated during the various races held, wins the Championship.
The Grands Prix are held in different locations, each different from the other, every weekend, on the same circuit, so as to increase the turnout of the public.
As for the World Championship, the official practices are held on Saturday and the actual races are held on Sunday.
In Italy, the event is broadcast by the following TV channels: Eurosport, RAI Sport, Automoto TV and Motorsport TV.
MXGP ACADEMY
The MXGP Academy was born with the intention of setting itself two fundamental objectives.
The first is to attract as many young people worldwide as possible, in order to choose Motocross as sporting activity.
The second is to help these young talents and enthusiasts realize their dream of becoming World Star Motocross riders.
To face these challenges, the MXGP Academy is aware of how assistance to the riders alone is not enough: effective support from the entourage of the riders themselves is necessary.
For this reason, in addition to the training sessions and masterclasses organized for the riders, the academy organizes seminars and meetings dedicated to parents, coaches and representatives of the Federation involved in Motocross.
In addition to these activities, the MXGP Academy regularly publishes, through all possible media channels, news, reports and information on everything related to its initiatives.
