GASGAS Again! After Casey Cochran gave the reformed brand its first major minicycle title in its Mini O’s debut, and after Justin Barcia won the Houston 1 SX in the brand’s debut AMA Supercross, Grant Baylor won the now-KTM-owned GasGas brand its first GNCC overall at the ‘21 series opener. Not a bad run for a bike that was formerly best known for trials trophies in Spain.
MXGP We have long been used to the FIM Moto- cross World Championship schedule being changed. This year has been no different, as they backed the schedule up by nearly two months, but it’s understandable due to the ongoing coronavirus threat. What will be more interesting to see is how well-received the Motocross of Nations will be on September 26, right in the middle of the MXGP schedule.
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
