BELGIUM The once-mighty motocross power that gave us Roger De Coster, Joel Robert, Stefan and Harry Everts, the Geboers brother, Georges Jobe, Joel Smets, and many, many more is having a revival of sorts, as four Belgians are signed to factory deals for MXGP ‘23: Stefan’s son Liam Everts (KTM), MX2 title favorite Jago Geerts (Yamaha), and 16-year-old twin brothers Sacha (KTM) and Luca Coenen (Husqvarna).
SUZUKI The struggling member of the old “Big Four” Japanese brands decided to bow out of MotoGP after decades of being in the mix. And in the words of our own Jason Weigandt, they did “the most Suzuki of Suzuki things” by winning their last race as an official participant, with Alex Rins winning their farewell race at Valencia, Spain. But just when it seemed like Suzuki might be done done as a top-level racing brand, Ken Roczen pops up on social media on a #94 RM-Z450. Stay tuned.
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
