Turkey plays host to the exciting 18th installment of the Motocross World Championship
MXGP of Türkiye Wraps Up with Exciting Finish
The 2025 FIM Motocross World Championship (MXGP) concluded its stop in Afyonkarahisar, Türkiye, with a thrilling race in the premier MXGP class. Dutch star Jefrey Herlings clinched the victory, but the race was far from over with two races remaining in the season.
The Afyonkarahisar track, known for its challenging logistics and costs, proved to be a must for top competitors. Despite the demanding conditions, the track underwent last-minute adjustments with FIM officials to ensure optimal conditions.

In the MXGP class, Herlings' victory was closely followed by Romain Febvre from France, who finished in second place. Lucas Coenen from Belgium claimed the third spot. The MXGP series now moves to the final international rounds: MXGP of China in Shanghai (Sept. 13-14) and MXGP of Australia in Darwin (Sept. 20-21).
Meanwhile, in the MX2 World Junior Motocross Championship, Simon Langenfelder from Germany took the crown, with Kay De Wolf from the Netherlands finishing in second and Guillem Farres from Spain in third.
