Pre-Entry Lists: MXGP of Britain

Provisional MXGP of Great Britain entry lists, changes to MXGP and MX2 classes.

The opening round of the 2022 FIM Motocross World Championship, the Grand Prix of Great Britain, will be run this coming weekend, following the postponement on Saturday morning. The weather forecast’s rather promising – it should be a great weekend of racing! The provisional MXGP and MX2 entry lists for round one of twenty can be perused below, as well as some poignant notes. A couple of names have disappeared from both lists over the last couple of days.

• Alessandro Lupino’s name has disappeared from the MXGP entry list. Lupino was going to skip the race on its original date, because he caught a virus and was quite sick. It seems that will sideline him this weekend too. Jeremy Van Horebeek will be in action for Beta.

• Henry Jacobi broke his scaphoid in October last year, but soldiered on and hoped that it would heal by itself. That did not go well and he was forced to go beneath the knife last week. Jacobi is going to be out for a little while, along with his teammate Ivo Monticelli.

• Dylan Walsh was on the original entry list for the Grand Prix of Great Britain, but damaged his ankle in the United States and will not race. Walsh is on a very flexible schedule this term – it remains to be seen when he will next appear in the Grand Prix series.
