FIM Motocross World Championship will kick off the 2026 season with the YPF MXGP of Argentina on March 7-8 in San Carlos de Bariloche, in the province of Río Negro, held at Bariloche MX Race Track, the new track designed to host the world’s motocross elite.
Designed by Spaniard Gabriel Villada, the new track has a total extension of 1,800 meters (and a total of 21 turns – 11 left, 10 right) and runs counter-clockwise, designed to offer a technical and challenging layout. 80 riders (from the MXGP and MX2 categories – for riders under 23 years old) will compete in Argentina, putting their skills to the test in each section of the track.
Throughout the track, riders will face a combination of flat, downhill and uphill jumps that require precision and control, more than 18 rollers of different sizes distributed across different sections, both on turns and straights, turns with natural slopes that will require careful reading of the terrain and a remarkable triple uphill jump that is sure to be one of the most exciting features of the track.
In addition, the circuit features a 25-metre difference in elevation between its highest and lowest points. The ground consists of sandy soil, adding an extra technical element to what will be a weekend of pure motocross at the MXGP Argentina YPF.
As is customary in MXGP, the new Bariloche MX Race Track will feature its own Village, a space specifically designed for the public to enjoy a variety of food options and visit the stands of the leading brands in the sector, contributing to a complete experience beyond the track.
YPF MXGP of Argentina 2026 is already shaping up to be an unforgettable weekend, with a first-class setting, a track with unique characteristics and the presence of the world’s best riders, consolidating Bariloche as one of the most attractive venues of the season.
