Record-holder Jeffrey Herlings leads the venue’s victory tally with six wins, followed closely by Antonio Cairoli (five) and Stefan Everts (four).
Spain’s New Identity
Additionally, the second Spanish round of the season will now be referred to as the MXGP of Extremadura, taking place in Mérida on April 18. This change highlights the region’s rich cultural heritage and growing enthusiasm for motocross. It follows the season opener in Andalucía on February 28, ensuring Spain remains a vital component of the 2027 championship.
These updates reflect the ongoing evolution of the MXGP series, reinforcing its commitment to iconic venues and regional representation.
