- Tim Gajser leads the MXGP class by 29-point advantage

Round four of the FIM Motocross World Championships takes place this weekend in the deep sand of the Crossodromo Comunale “Le Dune” circuit at Riola Sardo, halfway down the west coast of Sardegna, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, just south of Corsica.
Five-time World Champion Tim Gajser has looked in total command of this season. Since the first European round at Cozar in Spain, he has won all four GP races and one Qualifying Race. With Renaux struggling through a wrist injury after his win in Argentina, Febvre has taken up the running in second, with a 29-point gap to chase down on Gajser.
The big news in MXGP is that Red Bull KTM Factory Racing megastar Jeffrey Herlings will line up for the first time in 2025, returning from an off-season knee injury which has taken longer to heal than expected. He is the only rider to have won two MXGP events: 2021 and 2023.
The MX2 class saw some incredible racing in France last time out, and it could be just as wide open in Sardegna, however for sure the reigning World Champion Kay de Wolf must be a favourite for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing after taking overall victory last year. So far, race fans have enjoyed a total of six moto winners: Kay de Wolf, Andrea Adamo, Simon Langenfelder, Ferruccio Zanchi, Liam Everts and Sacha Coenen, plus Thibault Benistant who have won two qualifying races. What a star, eh?
