As the motocross world turns its attention to the legendary Lommel sand track in Belgium, the anticipation surrounding the 2025 MXGP of Flanders is reaching fever pitch. This weekend, the deep, demanding sands of Lommel will once again test the grit, stamina, and technical prowess of the best motocross riders on the planet. With the official entry lists now released, fans can begin gearing up for what promises to be a thrilling round of the FIM Motocross World Championship.
Organized by Infront Moto Racing, the 2025 edition of the MXGP of Flanders will bring together a stacked lineup of elite riders across both the MXGP and MX2 categories. Known as one of the most physically punishing tracks on the calendar, Lommel separates the contenders from the pretenders, and this year is no exception. Riders, teams, and fans alike recognize this venue as the ultimate proving ground.
In the MXGP class, several big names will be returning to the track with title ambitions and redemption arcs in mind. Reigning world champion Jorge Prado headlines the list, bringing both confidence and momentum into this sandy battleground. He will be joined by seasoned veterans such as Jeffrey Herlings, widely considered a sand specialist, and Romain Febvre, who remains a strong contender every time he lines up behind the gate.
Meanwhile, the MX2 division is expected to be just as fiercely contested. Young talents and rising stars will look to make their mark in Flanders, with riders like Liam Everts, Kay de Wolf, and Simon Längenfelder ready to challenge for the podium. For many of these young guns, a strong performance in Lommel could serve as a pivotal moment in their championship campaigns.
Belgian fans will also have much to cheer for as local riders gear up for a home round that carries deep national pride. The Flanders GP is not just another stop on the calendar—it’s a marquee event steeped in motocross tradition. With passionate crowds expected to pack the circuit, the atmosphere promises to be electric all weekend long.
This year’s entry list also includes wildcard appearances from promising riders and national champions from around Europe, giving fans a chance to witness the next generation of talent compete against the sport’s elite. These wildcards often shake things up and add an unpredictable element to an already competitive field.
As riders arrive in Lommel and begin to adapt to the track’s ever-changing terrain, preparation will be key.
