Pre-Entry Lists: MXGP of Trentino

The 2021 FIM Motocross World Championship is rapidly approaching a conclusion, as the fourteenth race of the campaign will be run at the scenic venue of Pietramurata this weekend. The Grand Prix of Trentino, as the round is officially dubbed, marks the start of three consecutive races at the track. There are very interesting elements to this race, as there are noteworthy wildcards in both classes. The Grand Prix series continues to deliver on many levels!

• Mathys Boisrame will make his debut aboard the KX450-SR this weekend – he’ll sit alongside Romain Febvre under the Monster Energy KRT awning for the first time. This is a tryout for the 2022 season, make no mistake about it.

• David Philippaerts will race in the premier class for the first time since the Grand Prix of Switzerland in 2016. Philippaerts is racing under the Ghidinelli Yamaha banner, as the squad has no riders and has to fulfil sponsor commitments.

• Canada’s Dylan Wright will contest a FIM Motocross World Championship race for the first time this weekend. Wright will race a CRF450R out of Honda 114 Motorsports’ awning at the remaining five rounds (three here at Pietramurata and two at Mantova).

• Brian Hsu is back! Hsu has not raced a round of the FIM Motocross World Championship since the Grand Prix of Sweden in 2017 – he has lurked in the shadows ever since. Hsu will race here, but has no real intention of becoming a regular on the world stage.
