The MXGP of Spain marks the return of the Spanish Grand Prix to the FIM Motocross World Championship calendar, which has created a lot of excitement for the Spanish fans who have been eager to watch the young Spaniard Jorge Prado on track in person, especially given his recent success in the MXGP category. The MXGP of Spain will also host a round of EMX250 and the EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing Championship together with the main classes MXGP and MX2.

Unfortunately, the Spanish GP will run behind closed doors without any spectators this season alongside additional safety measures that have been successfully implemented during the last several Grands Prix. These extra measures including COVID-19 testing, wearing protective masks, social distancing and high standards hygiene have been set in place in order to protect the community, the riders, teams, media, staff and any other MXGP paddock personnel onsite.

MXGP is looking forward to finally returning to Spain for some more unpredictable race action that fans have been treated to during the last numerous GPs, as the best MXGP riders will battle it out for the top spot.
