GP Bits from the Italian Grand Prix at Maggiora

War of the countries...and their smoke bombs! Juan Pablo

Mud seems to be the theme of not only the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross series...but also the 2024 FIM World Motocross Championship. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
Sounds like Bonacorsi could be tipped to join Fantic in 2025. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
Yeah...no... Juan Pablo
Place Holder
When it quits, you ditch? Juan Pablo
Place Holder
Yes, Pala was much dryer than the MXGP of Italy. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
At least some are more positive than I. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
Liam Everts went full mud-prep on the helmet, but still rocking tear-offs. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
The Bullet. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
Gotta love panning shots. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
Tim Gajser's 2025 Honda CRF450RW Juan Pablo
Place Holder
The radiator shrouds on the MXGP bike are a little different from the up-coming production bike as they screw in a grate area in the shroud vent area. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
It's a little tough to see, but it doesn't look like Gajser is running a Show steering damper anymore. Also note the clear graphics on the clamps and upper for tubes to keep parts a bit fresher...and with less rock pits. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
The new production shrouds feature something similar to this riveted on guard, to keep the shroud from entering your boots in deep corners/high-leg situations. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
Look who's GPS sensor is on top of their radiator... Juan Pablo
Place Holder
These engine hour meters can be found on karting websites, it's a PET-3200R by Oppama. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
A little extra coverage for the hydraulic master cylinder. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
Mmmmm, that extra layer of titanium for the headpipe skin. Juan Pablo
Place Holder

After being hardcore users of the BFRC rear shock, the HRC MXGP squad moved back to a traditional shock last season. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
Gajser continues to build his points lead. Juan Pablo

Rumors point to Liam Everts being courted by Kawasaki to join their new KRT MX2 team for 2025 and beyond... Juan Pablo
Place Holder
Sasha Coenen has arrived. Juan Pablo

With Kawasaki backing the KRT team to operate a factory MX2 operation, we wonder where F&H will land for 2025. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
The KRT team has their oil lines wrapped up to protect them from heat. Also, see the pivoting brake pedal? It's based on the old KX500 part number. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
Amongst some of the cool hardware, you can see the KRT group drills a hole in the top of the rear brake caliper to release heat. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
The CRM carbon fuel tanks from the past generation bike still fit the new KX450. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
While the Kawasaki Racing Team splits suspension duties with Showa for Febvre and KYB with Seewer, it sounds like this may change for 2025. The MXGP/450s will likley both be on Showa, while we may see the new MX2 team running KYB. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
The carbon holder for the radiator fan is a nice touch. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
We want that shock... Juan Pablo
Place Holder
While the US Kawasaki team uses the works billet Nissin caliper that uses two different piston sizes, like Honda/Yamaha/Suzuki does...the MXGP team uses the same oversized piston style that Pro Circuit still uses and US Kawasaki used in the past. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
The MoTec RPM dash is behind the front number plate. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
There's just something cool about this shot. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
He said "please". Juan Pablo
Place Holder
No caption needed. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
Italian rider, Valerio Lata, currently races for GasGas' EMX250 program and sits third in that series standing. However, EMX250 didn't race at the Italian GP so he took the opportunity to race MX2...where he placed third with a five-three performance! Juan Pablo
Place Holder
Hey Fox, I would like this gear and boot combo. Please and thank you. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
Mikkel Haarup is another rider looking at a potential move to the USA in 2025... Juan Pablo
Place Holder
Full send. Juan Pablo
Place Holder
See you all at the next GP. Juan Pablo
