Official: Lexa MX announce MX1 riders for 2025 – Josh Gilbert signs


The Lexa MX team have revealed their MX1 rider line up for the 2025 season and they’ve secured a deal with Josh Gilbert. The Brit will still be in the MXGP paddock as the plan is to contest the rounds that take place in Europe.

Gilbert will join John Adamson under the awning and the team will also be contesting the British Championship this year.

“I’m excited and happy to announce I have been given the opportunity to continue racing GP’s and the British championship with Lexa Racing. With a turbulent season just gone I was really grateful to Kris for offering me this deal. I will be on a change of machinery next year and putting my all into the next season with Lexa. Kris has a great set up and is passionate to do the job properly which is really reassuring in this game. I’m currently having some downtime resting and recovering but I’m looking forward to getting a good preseason under me again and giving it a good go in ’25! A big thanks to Kris, my sponsors and everyone that supports me”, Gilbert told GateDrop.com. 

“Really pleased to be staying with Kris and Lexa MX for the 2025 season. Me and the team have learned a lot this season and plan on building on a good season. The team has big plans for 2025 and I’m thankful and excited for the opportunity. It’s been a year I’ve really enjoyed and enjoy riding my bike more than ever. Kris, Vineta and Anthony have been very welcoming and I think we are all enjoying the process and focused on becoming the best version of ourselves for 2025”, Adamson told GateDrop.com.
