Excitement grows in Honda HRC as Trentino awaits

The beautiful venue of Pietramurata in Trentino, Italy is next up for Honda HRC as the 2025 world motocross championship prepares for it’s fifth event. This race is seen as the ‘home’ GP for the team, with it being the closest round to the workshop in Milan, and with Ferruccio Zanchi and Valerio Lata being Italian, plus the large number of Slovenian fans who come across the border to support Tim Gajser, it is always seen as important weekend for everyone involved.

Last time out Gajser kept his podium streak alive with a hard-fought third place overall in the deep sand of Riola Sardo, extending his lead in the championship to 34-points as he continues to excellent start to this year’s MXGP championship. With some amazing memories in Trentino, he’ll be hoping he can extend that and put in three solid rides across the weekend and give the thousands of travelling Slovenians something to cheer about.

While Ruben Fernandez isn’t linked as strongly with this event as the rest of his teammates, it is still a venue the Spaniard enjoys riding as he has had some good performances here before. In Sardinia, he had two good rides, and his speed was impressive in the deep sand, but in Trentino he feels much more comfortable and will be looking for consistent scores across all three races as he looks to move himself up the MXGP standings.

The MX2 duo of Zanchi and Lata will be hoping to put a disappointing Sardinia experience behind them, and get back to challenging nearer the front of the field. With it being even more of a home GP, and with more supporters at the venue, they are both highly motivated to do show the watching Italians what they are capable of, and with Zanchi already having one race win and podium this year, the ceiling is high.

This weekend should be a busy round for everyone, with massive crowds expected to hit the hillside venue and Honda HRC are excited to put on a strong display in both classes to assert their position as one of the top teams in the paddock.
