The battle for third place lasted until the final laps, with Calvin Vlaanderen (Monster Energy Yamaha) overtaking Glenn Coldenhoff (Fantic) on lap nine of the 12-lap race.

Race 2 was almost a mirror image of the first in terms of leadership: Gajser never faltered, winning by 38.960s over Andrea Bonacorsi (Fantic). The Italian spent most of the race chasing teammate Coldenhoff before making a penultimate-lap overtake. Vlaanderen, however, struggled and finished 22nd.

In the overall standings, Gajser claimed victory with the maximum 50 points, followed by Coldenhoff with 38 points. Bonacorsi completed the podium with 35 points, while Fernández placed fourth with 31 points.

The YPF Infinia MXGP of Argentina, the first round of the 2025 MXGP World Championship, took place at the new Infinito Race Track circuit in Córdoba, attracting tens of thousands of fans. The new circuit offered an excellent setting for high-level racing in both categories, successfully replacing the former circuit of Villa La Angostura.

In the MXGP category, Maxime Renaux, former MX2 World Champion, returned to winning ways with Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP, achieving results of second and first in the two motos to reach his ninth GP victory and maintaining the red plate as championship leader. The new Aruba.it Ducati Factory MX Team impressed by claiming both Fox Holeshot Awards and finishing in 4th place overall with Mattia Guadagnini.

The podium was completed by former world champions Romain Febvre, who won the first moto for Kawasaki Racing Team, and Tim Gajser of Honda HRC, who started the season in typically strong fashion. In the MX2 class, current World Champion Kay de Wolf, of Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing, claimed his ninth GP victory with results of 1st-5th, despite a crash in the second moto.

In the first full race of the new MXGP season, Jeremy Seewer claimed the first Fox Holeshot Award for Ducati, but Febvre took the lead right at the second corner, followed by Renaux. Gajser finished third, while Guadagnini achieved his best result in more than a year, finishing fourth. In the second moto, Guadagnini got the Holeshot, but Renaux quickly took the lead and maintained it until the end.

With this victory, Renaux achieves his first GP triumph since Switzerland in April 2023 and maintains the red leader plate on the Yamaha. The French victory drought of 2024 was broken right at the beginning of the new season, and French riders occupy the top two positions in the World Championship as the series returns to Europe for the second round. The track conditions, initially wet due to morning rain, dried quickly and provided a perfect setting for exciting racing.

The MX2 category also delivered a spectacular show at the 2025 season opener in Villa La Angostura, Córdoba, with challenging track conditions due to heavy rain the night before. With the track drying throughout the day, riders faced distinct challenges in each of the races.

Race 1: Kay de Wolf Starts the Year with a Win

Kay de Wolf took the lead after grabbing the holeshot and gave no chances to his opponents, winning authoritatively on his factory Husqvarna. Simon Laengenfelder showed consistency and secured second place aboard his KTM, while Cas Valk shined by claiming third position with his Van Venrooy KTM.

David Braceras had an excellent race with a good start and crossed the finish line in fourth on his JM Honda. Camden McLellan had to recover after a poor start and put on a great performance, finishing fifth after overtaking teammate Guillem Farres.

Andrea Adamo, one of the favorites, had a disastrous start, losing time at the starting gate. When he was already in sixth, his bike experienced mechanical problems, resulting in a frustrating retirement. Liam Everts had a solid performance to finish eighth, behind Valerio Lata. Sacha Coenen crashed in the first lap but still managed to finish ninth. Meanwhile, Mathis Valin, who had been battling for the lead with de Wolf, suffered a serious crash and abandoned the race.

Race 2: Sacha Coenen Flew to Victory

In the second race, Sacha Coenen started in front and never looked back, winning dominantly. Valerio Lata surprised by maintaining second place in the early laps but was overtaken by Laengenfelder, who seemed on track for the overall GP victory.

However, Kay de Wolf made a crucial mistake by crashing while trying to overtake Andrea Adamo, compromising his chances of winning the overall. To make matters worse, Laengenfelder also suffered two crashes and handed the GP lead to de Wolf, who finished the second race in fifth position, just behind the impressive Mathis Valin.

Liam Everts had an impressive performance, securing a notable third place, considering there were doubts about his participation until just days before the race.

With consistency throughout both races, Kay de Wolf left Argentina with the red plate and the championship lead. However, the competition promises to be fierce, with several riders showing potential to fight for the title throughout the season.

The opening of the 2025 MXGP season took place in Villa La Angostura, Córdoba, Argentina, on a weekend marked by challenging weather conditions. After intense overnight rain, the track was initially muddy, which did not prevent Maxime Renaux from taking the overall victory, sharing the spotlight with Romain Febvre.

Race 1: Febvre dominates, Renaux secures second place.

Jeremy Seewer got the best start and took the holeshot, but was quickly overtaken by Romain Febvre and Maxime Renaux, who set a strong pace. Febvre, in great form with his Kawasaki, led comfortably, while Renaux seemed to be the only one capable of keeping up with his compatriot.

However, Renaux made a mistake by going off the track, which cost him precious time. Despite this, he managed to maintain second place, although Tim Gajser, who had a bad start, managed to recover ground and pressure him in the final laps. Renaux ended up resisting and secured second position.

Mattia Guadagnini was one of the highlights of the race by overtaking his Ducati teammate and finishing in a solid fourth place. Glenn Coldenhoff had a difficult start, but made an excellent recovery to finish in fifth position. Ducati placed two bikes in the top 6, with Jeremy Seewer finishing sixth. Lucas Coenen, despite racing with pain, showed grit and crossed the finish line in seventh place.

Race 2: Renaux unstoppable.

Maxime Renaux left no chances in the second race, starting in the lead and maintaining a strong pace to the checkered flag. With an impeccable performance, he left his opponents behind and secured victory without contest.

Romain Febvre, who took some time to overtake Guadagnini, ended up consolidating second place, but without any chance of catching Renaux. Tim Gajser, once again, managed to recover positions after a mediocre start and secured third position, while Guadagnini repeated the excellent fourth place, concluding an impressive weekend in his debut with the Ducati GP.

Valentin Guillod shone by taking a production bike to fifth place, demonstrating great talent and consistency. Kevin Horgmo had a modest start, but progressed well to sixth position, while Lucas Coenen, visibly affected by pain, lost performance and finished eighth. Glenn Coldenhoff suffered a fall and had to settle for sixth overall on his Fantic.

With a convincing victory, Renaux takes the championship lead, but Febvre and Gajser showed that they have the pace to fight for the title. The season promises great excitement and the next round will be decisive to see who can impose their dominance in the championship.
