Motocross track and paddock get the finishing touches The many hard-working helpers have been in MXGP fever for weeks, but now the excitement is also rising for some of those still directly or even indirectly involved. Before the training and racing action really gets underway at this year's MXGP of Switzerland in Frauenfeld on Saturday and Sunday, August 24 and 25, respectively, the track, the track surroundings and the paddock will be spruced up and given the finishing touches. The "claims" of the racing teams are staked out and the "paddock" tent city is growing on the grounds of Schweizer Zucker AG in Frauenfeld. The team tents are also gradually filling up and the motocross bikes are being prepared.

All the ingredients are in place for the Motocross World Championship round in Frauenfeld on August 24 and 25 Last weekend, the 16th round of the 2024 Motocross World Championship season took place in Arnhem, the Netherlands. The MXGP of Switzerland in Frauenfeld will continue next weekend (August 24 and 25). Time to rest is therefore rare and there is simply no time to recover. It's a good thing that everything went smoothly again, so that all the top riders will roll up to the starting gate at the Swiss World Championship round. In the top MXGP class, we are currently witnessing a three-way battle between multiple world champions Tim Gajser, Jorge Prado and Jeffrey Herlings for the 2024 crown, with Slovenian Honda rider Tim currently holding the best cards

Local heroes are the salt in the soup 18,000 fans cheered on the top riders of the scene at last year's Motocross World Championship race in Frauenfeld, which fortunately also included two Swiss permanent starters, Jeremy Seewer and Valentin Guillod. There was no less sympathy for the other local heroes, who were given a wild card for their home Grand Prix. It remains to be seen how many spectators will line the Schollenholz track this year on August 24 and 25, but it is likely to be at least in the same order of magnitude. Jeremy Seewer - Swiss top rider in the top class Jeremy Seewer has been the Swiss figurehead in the Motocross World Championship for many years. The 30-year-old from Bülach made his debut in the World Championship in 2012

The favorites in the "small" MX2 world championship class Of course, the top category of the motocross world championship, the MXGP, is the focus of interest, but the "small" MX2 world championship class is at least as exciting. This is reserved for riders up to the age of 23, who are allowed to use two-stroke motorcycles with a displacement of up to 125 cc or four-strokes with up to 250 cc. In practice, however, everyone rides with the larger displacement. In the MXGP, four-strokes with up to 450 cc are permitted and there is no age limit. In terms of MX2, we also want to find out the supposed favorites at the MXGP of Switzerland on August 24 and 25 during the short break before the next event hat-trick.  

The favorites in the top MXGP class After a short break, the riders of the 2024 Motocross World Championship can look forward to the next triple-header of races every week in August. After Uddevalla in Sweden and Arnhem in the Netherlands, the world's best motocross riders will come to Frauenfeld for the MXGP of Switzerland on August 24 and 25. Before the motocross world championship enters its home straight with rounds 15, 16 and 17 of a total of 20, we want to take a look at who will be among the favorites at the big, top-class stud festival in the canton of Thurgau. In the top MXGP class, we are currently witnessing a three-way battle at the top between three riders who have already won several world championship titles. Overall leader
