Last year we successfully held the Russian Motocross Grand Prix and are ready to further improve the track and improve the opportunities for riders and spectators. Thank you for your trust and a real holiday for Russia.
Director of the All-Russian Children's, Alexander Dzheus.
Unlike last year's stage, when the weather presented a surprise to the participants and organizers, this year in the first half of the May holidays in the Krasnodar region there was warm, sunny weather. Crossmen competed in four qualifying classes: EMX250, EMX300, MX2 and MXGP, and most of them were satisfied with the event.
Foreign guests were greeted with due hospitality
The audience enjoyed the enchanting show and cheered for their compatriots, Evgeniy Bobryshev, Vsevolod Brylyakov and other Russians, who simply had no end to fans these days. This kind of support really means a lot to our athletes, helping them overcome difficult stages in their careers.
Many participants liked the track in the Krasnodar region for its configuration
At the end of the weekend, Zhenya Bobryshev rose to twelfth place in the championship, and Seva Brylyakov dropped to seventh. In addition, at the Russian stage, Brylyakov injured his ligaments, and therefore the athlete required medical attention.
Even the most decorated athletes, such as Jeffrey Herlings and current world champion Antonio Cairoli, noted the complexity and intricacy of the course on which they had to compete.

Off-road motorsports news
In preparation for the Russian stage of the world motocross championship MXGP of Russia, from March 29 to 31, an international educational and sports seminar “MXGP ACADEMY FIM” was held in Orlyonok for instructors (coaches) and athletes. Specialists from different regions of Russia came to the seminar, ready to learn from world experience in organizing the training process, undergo training and receive an official certificate. Among them are 36 coaches and 26 riders, the youngest of whom is only eight years old.
On the first day of the seminar, MXGP ACADEMY coordinator and coach Martin Van Genderen
told Russian specialists about the development of a new classification system for coaches and athletes, comparing it to receiving belts of different colors in karate.
“MXGP ACADEMY will train and improve the skills of specialists and motorcycle racers,” said Martin. – Like last year, such training will be carried out as part of the Russian stage of the World Motocross Championship in Orlyonok. The new system will lead to stronger motivation for professional development for both coaches and athletes. Like a computer game, they will move from level to level, increasing their theoretical knowledge and practical skills.”
The seminar began with theoretical training, but the very next day its participants went out onto the track, where they received practical experience.
At the end of the theoretical classes, Martin Van Genderen, together with the President of the Russian Motorcycle Federation, Director of the Orlyonok All-Russia Children's Center Alexander Dzheus, presented the seminar participants with certificates of compliance with MXGP ACADEMY coaching activities.
“We must raise an athlete discretely - step by step, teach him to be not just a good motcross athlete, but also to be able to control his physical fitness, eat right, interact with sponsors, build relationships with the team and mechanics. MXGP ACADEMY teaches these elementary truths. We are also planning to hold a large seminar for mechanics, because now the level of our athletes is quite high, the equipment is complex, and in Russia, unfortunately, there are few trained specialists, which also hinders the development of motocross. Motorcycles have complex settings that depend on the type of track, weather, weight of the rider, and riding characteristics. Motocross is a very complex and synthetic sport that requires many people and specialists trained in the necessary competencies. We are now solving these problems,” commented Alexander Dzheus
.
The organizers of the seminar “MXGP ACADEMY FIM” were the Russian Motorcycling Federation, the All-Russian Children's and the Yakhnich Motorsport company.
We remind you that the Russian stage of the World Motocross Championship will be held on April 30 and May 1 on the track of the sports and technical complex of the All-Russian Children's Center "Orlyonok" (Krasnodar Territory, Tuapse district). Guests of MXGP of Russia 2022 will enjoy an unforgettable weekend, during which they will see 8 exciting races: 2 races in each of 4 classifications (MXGP and MX2 in the World Championship, as well as EMX250 and EMX300 in the European Championship). Real fans will have the opportunity to visit the racing paddock and see how world-class equipment is being prepared for competitions, get an autograph from the stars of world and Russian motocross and take a photo with them. And in the entertainment town MXGP Village you can always have a snack and buy souvenirs.
