We’ve put together a list of the full factory riders and teams to take on the 2023 MXGP and MX2 World Championships. As we get closer to the 2023 season we will add the satellite and privateer teams as more announcements are made.
There are some noticeable changes within the factory teams as Mitch Evans has a new challenging signing with Factory Kawasaki to replace Ben Watson with the Brit signing with Beta. Ruben Fernandez will therefore step up and be Tim Gajser’s team mate under the HRC Honda awning.
In MX2, Factory KTM have a team for the future with a trio of young talents – Andrea Adamo, Liam Everts and Sacha Coenen. As well as Sacha, Lucas Coenen (Husqvarna) and Rick Elzinga (Yamaha) have secured factory rides in what will be their rookie years in the MX2 World Championship.
Fantic who ran an MXGP rider this year have decided to focus on MX2 in 2023 instead with the signing of Tom Guyon.
