Confirmed: Jago Geerts to work with Joel Roelants


Jago Geerts didn’t have the rookie MXGP World Championship season he’d have wanted but the full focus for the young Belgian is the 2025 season. He’ll be keen to remind everyone what he can really do on the 450cc.

In 2025, Geerts will be working with Joel Roelants who was the new Belgian MXoN team manager this year. Roelants, a former GP rider himself will now continue to work with Geerts moving forward to help him prepare for 2025.

Geerts has previously worked closely with Steve Ramon but that ended up at the end of the 2023 season.
