Last week at the Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori (EICMA) annual trade show in Milan, Italy, details for the new Fantic Factory Racing MXGP Team were announced. Our advertising guys Scott Wallenberg and Dustin Williamson were on hand to see the MXGP team’s bikes first-hand. The Italian brand will race with Glenn Coldenhoff and Roan Van De Moosdijk in the MXGP class and Kay Karssemakers and David Braceras in MX2.
Coldenhoff comes to the team after a few years with the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP team, as does team owner Louis Vosters. There is an agreement between Yamaha and Fantic where the companies collaborate for parts of the Fantic XXF 450 machines, which is why they have a similar look to the Yamaha YZ450F models.
Follow the team on Instagram (@fanticfactoryracingmxgp). The Fantic 250cc and 450cc models debuted in the MXGP championship in 2022.
A closer look at Coldenhoff's XXF 450.
