The gates are set to drop tomorrow (Saturday 17th July) in Oss for the MXGP of The Netherlands. David Luongo talks about Oss and more in the latest edition of MXGP Mag.
Dear MXGP Friends,
Already three Grand Prix have taken place since our last month edition of the magazine. It is a fantastic feeling of being back on the track. From the black sea to the very typical hills of Maggiora, the MXGP World Championship presented some very exciting racing to the fans that were able to be onsite and to all our TV viewers worldwide at home.
In MXGP, three different winners, Tim Gajser started perfectly the season in Russia, Tony Cairoli proved to everybody that he is still a contender for the 2021 season in the UK and Jeffrey Herlings won his first GP since his injury last year in Italy. The World Championship classification is very tight as 8 riders are within 42 points, with Gajser leading!
In MX2, Tom Vialle was showing a great rhythm to defend his title after Russia, but unfortunately, he got injured during a training session before the Grand Prix of the Great Britain. In MX2 like in MXGP, we got three different GP winners, and the rookie of the class, Guadagnini won on home soil last week and took the read plate of the championship. He is again a great example of our pyramid system, coming from the European Championship with 1 Title in EMX125cc and second last year in EMX250cc. It looks to be very open with 8 riders within 50 points.
Those three Grand Prix events highlighted again the difficulties we are still experiencing for hosting the public onsite. The situation is very different country by country, in Russia we got a full attendance when in UK, it was capped to 4.000 people and Italy unfortunately up to 1.000 attendance. The fact to put in place the green pass throughout Europe with the vaccination campaign will help us to increase the global attendance in the upcoming weeks, but is it still very challenging for all of us.
From the very beginning of the pandemic, we did our best with the organizers, the federations and the FIM to facilitate the access of the public to the events and to adapt ourselves to the national and international regulations concerning the Covid-19 restrictions.
On the digital area, the feedback from the fans on MXGP-TV.com our platform of Live Streaming is very positive. The quality of the service and the fact that fans can watch 100% of the qualifications and the races whenever they want and wherever they are is still very appreciated by the MXGP fans. From the beginning of the season, we also launched a TikTok platform to complete our offer of content on the most popular Social Networks.
Finally, I would like to thank the FIM, the FIM Europe and all the partners of MXGP for their support to our favorite sport!
Don’t forget that you can follow the whole MXGP season on MXGP-TV.com!
See you in Oss!
