MXGP World Championship

2021 Dates: Dutch Masters

2021 Dutch Masters calendar.

Published

on

The new season is starting to fall into place now, as another calendar has been confirmed now. The 2021 Dutch Masters of Motocross schedule was released moments ago. The five-round series (it is typically four) is going to kick off just before the 2021 FIM Motocross World Championship begins, so those will undoubtedly be one of the more popular pre-season events. The full calendar is below.

21 March

Harfsen

28 March

Oss

17 April

Oldebroek

02 May

Arnhem

13 May

Rhenen

The 2021 FIM Motocross World Championship schedule is quite spread out in April and May, in the hope that the COVID-19 restrictions would have eased by the second half of the year, so it makes great sense for the KMNV to get the series done before the Grand Prix campaign really gets fired up.

Stark Speaks! Stark believes MXGP should reconsider electric bike inclusion.

Published

on

Following numerous questions, comments, and opinions, Stark Future would like to offer its take on the recent Press Conference held at VILLA LA ANGOSTURA (Argentina) on 8th March 2024, during the first MXGP event of the season.

Stark Future, a prominent innovator in motocross, firmly opposes MXGP/ Infront’s proposal to introduce a separate Electric Support Class alongside MXGP events. While recognizing the goal of driving technological advancements, Stark Future believes that segregation is not the solution. Instead, seeing integration as an opportunity for all sides to thrive. By embracing new technologies at the highest level of racing, Stark Future envisions making racing more captivating for fans while fostering the strongest technological improvements across the board.

With a commitment to pushing the boundaries of motocross performance and innovation, Stark Future firmly believes in true competition and integration, where the fastest machines go head-to-head, driving innovation and pushing the sport to new heights. The vision of Stark Future is to build the fastest motocross bike in the world and demonstrate that Electric is not a compromise but a formidable contender.

Stark Future understands The creation of a separate class for electric bikes, as proposed by MXGP, compromises the essence of competition and risks stifling progress. Instead of fostering innovation, this approach fragments the championship and dilutes the level of competition. Stark Future advocates for the integration of electric bikes into the existing MXGP grid framework, which would promote innovation and benefit the broader motocross community while offering better viewing figures for MXGP programs.

Stark Future recognizes the importance of innovation in the future of motocross. Integrating electric bikes into MXGP would revitalize innovation within the sport and address challenges such as noise pollution, maintenance costs, and accessibility.

In conclusion, Stark Future urges MXGP/ Infront to reconsider the proposal for a separate Electric Support Class and explore avenues to seamlessly integrate Electric bikes into MXGP and MX2 grids. Stark Future is ready to embrace this challenge, and invites industry stakeholders to join in promoting innovation and ensuring that motocross continues to thrive for generations to come.
