The 2024 FIM Junior Motocross World Championship will be held at the Circuit Kamperweg Heerde in The Netherlands, on 14th July 2024.
In 2008 the Junior World Championship was held in Heerde, with Jeffrey Herlings crowned as the 85cc World Champion. The race is a showcase for the future stars of Motocross, with past winners including the likes of Tim Gajser, Jorge Prado, Maxime Renaux, Pauls Jonass, and Jago Geerts. It is a great stepping stone to make it into the professional world of Motocross and experience competition with a similar feel to an MXGP weekend. You can be certain that there will be factory scouts watching the progress of the best riders as well!
Last year we saw the French flyer Mathis Valin crowned as Junior World Champion in the 125cc ranks and Patricks Cirulis of Latvia won the 65cc World Cup. Dutch rider Dani Heitink, who also won the Dutch Masters, was the Junior World Champion in the 85cc class, and he moves up to the 125cc class for 2024.
So… What other names will be on this list at the end of the day on Sunday 14th? Check the All-Time list winners from 2004. I bet you´l find a lot of familiar faces
