Official: Marc de Reuver announces coaching plans for 2025 season

Article: Andy McKinstry

Former Grand Prix race winner, Marc de Reuver has been with the F&H Racing team as the rider coach for a number of years. Unfortunately, the Dutch based team have decided to leave the paddock after the 2024 season.

The good news is that de Reuver will still be in the paddock as a coach and working with riders. He has announced he’ll be working with three riders in the GP paddock for the 2025 season and preparation for the season is already underway.

The three riders he’ll work with he knows very well as they’ve all had a spell with the F&H Racing team in the past. In MXGP, Adam Sterry and Roan van de Moosdijk will be under the watchful eye of de Reuver. In the EMX250 championship, Bradley Mesters will also work with him.

“When I got the news from Harry Fase that F&H Racing would not continue in 2025 I was very angry with myself because I felt it as a loss that we didn’t reach the goals that we set together before we started in the winter of 2017. I am a very bad loser. But I totally respect his decision and I have a lot of respect for Harry, he helped me a lot during those 7 years with F&H Racing not only as a coach but also in life, I would like to thank him one more time through here. We had some great results together, even when we were not in advantage many times, we fight hard and sure surprised people with our performances. I had/have an amazing relationship with family Fase and they will be missed in 2025”, de Reuver told GateDrop.com.

“That said, when one door closes new doors open that is life. This is something I am very used to in my career. I am honest I was lost a bit for a week but I got my mind up together quit quick. First week I saw myself in a DHL van with some red/yellow gear on (laughs), added de Reuver.

“In 2025 I will work with Roan van de Moosdijk, Adam Sterry and Bradley Mesters. I know all three of them very well and achieved nice things together already in the passed. My heart is in MXGP racing, I love the series a lot and I want to stay in there at all cost. I work with my heart and passion, and more I can not do”, MdR confirmed. 

“I will also continue my work with the Dutch federation KNMV. I coach our fastest kids in the 65cc and 85cc class. In 2024 we took the world championship as a nation in Heerde, and we had two podiums with Kash van Hamond 65cc world champion and Dex van den Broek third in the 85cc class, that weekend was very emotional for me and I will never forget”, concluded de Reuver. 

We also caught up with the riders he’ll be working with in 2025 to get their thoughts:

Adam Sterry: 

Getting the chance to work with Marc again is something I didn’t really need to think about. Obviously he isn’t with a team anymore so that opened up that door. We get along great and with his experience he is someone that can get the best out of me. I had my best results with him in 2019 so he already knows me well. We are in Sardinia now putting in the work ready for the season, I’m really enjoying riding at the moment and can’t wait for the season to begin.

Roan van de Moosdijk: 

As many probably know i’ve worked with Marc for 3 years. He helped me winning the EMX250 title and we achieved multiple MX2 podiums. I really like his training programs and the way he sees things on the track is very special. I think he’s the perfect guy to help me getting back where I belong. So far it’s going great. I just need many hours on the bike as I haven’t ridden much last year. But with the help of Kosak and Marc I am confident we can achieve nice things together.

Bradley Mesters: 

I worked with him in the past and that was good. I’ve already said that after that I worked with some other trainers but I didn’t get the same feeling like I have with Marc. First of all we always had a good friendly relationship and Marc is kind of different than others. He has such a good of a feeling explaining how to ride a bike and it is very special and easy for me as a rider when you struggle with things. He can explain it so its easy for me to work it out and he gives me trust on the bike and pushes me on the trainings which I need. I’m very happy to work with him since its an important year for me coming up, I want to perform good and go for the ADAC Youngster Cup title and top three in the EMX250 series. I feel like now its the time for me to show myself so I try to surround myself with good people.
