AFYON (Türkiye) 5 September 2025 – The 2025 FIM Motocross World Championships starts its journey eastwards for the final three rounds of the season, with the Afyon Motor Sports Center hosting round 18, the MXGP of Türkiye.
The most recent round of the MXGP World Championship saw the gap reduce between red plate holder Romain Febvre and his main rival Lucas Coenen, but the teenage Belgian still has work to do at a venue where he won in MX2 last year. The Frenchman in the lead will hope to repeat previous race wins in Türkiye to maintain the distance over his rival! The two five-time World Champions, Jeffrey Herlings and Tim Gajser, won the first six GPs at this circuit between them, so they could also play their part in the title contest!
German star Simon Längenfelder also saw his MX2 Championship lead shrink in the Netherlands, so the Dutch reigning Champ Kay de Wolf will be looking to get even closer this weekend, while former Champ Andrea Adamo is also in need of a good result, at a circuit which hasn’t been kind to the Italian in previous years.
