Despite mother nature sprinkling the Dolomites with a little moisture on Grand Prix Sunday, the crowds that flock to the “Il Ciclamino” circuit still made the noise and kept the legendary atmosphere that the Monster Energy MXGP of Trentino is famous for!
The fifth round of the 2025 FIM Motocross World Championships provided more great racing on an unpredictable surface, but the results were exactly what the two biggest sections of fans – the local Italians and the travelling Slovenians – would have been hoping for, and they truly showed their appreciation!
The MXGP class was ruled by Championship leader Tim Gajser, who took his record sixth GP victory at the circuit with a perfect 1-1 for Honda HRC, in front of a legion of his flag-waving supporters who responded accordingly. Romain Febvre put up spirited resistance for Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP and took second overall in front of the Fantic Factory Racing MXGP machine of Glenn Coldenhoff.
The first MX2 race of the day saw a historical first GP Race win for the Triumph manufacturer, as Monster Energy Triumph Racing’s lone wolf Camden McLellan took a Fox Holeshot to chequered flag masterclass, earning the South African his first win at this level. However, for the third straight year in MX2, the overall victory went to a rider who didn’t win either race, as Andrea Adamo survived last lap passes in each outing to keep Italian fans happy and claim his fourth career victory for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing!
Championship leader Kay de Wolf kept the red plate on his Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing machine with second overall, while second race winner Thibault Benistant climbed to the third step of the podium for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2. It was perhaps the most significant day yet in the Championship with varying fortunes for the four men who started the weekend just 14 points apart!
