Press Release n. 69
2020 FIM Motocross European Championship
Provisional Calendar
Now that the 2019 MXGP Season is running into the second half, FIM Europe and
Youthstream are proud to release the 2020 FIM Motocross European Championships
Provisional Calendar for classes EMX125, EMX250, EMX2T and EMX Open.
From 2020 the EMX Open Championship will be combined with MXGP/MX2 events within
Europe. There will be 6 events counting towards the championship standings in the EMX
Open Championship, all at MXGP/MX2 events similar to and in the same format as the
EMX125, EMX250 and EMX2T championships. From 2020 and onwards the EMX Open
championship will be open to riders from 16 years old up to 50 years old on motorcycles
from 175cc up to 450cc, for both 2strokes and 4strokes.
“I’m extremely happy with this initiative from Youthstream”, - stated the Motocross
Commission chairman, Mr. Eddie Herd, – “I believe that this is a major step forward and
a necessary advance for the EMX Open championship, that will become a very important
championship within Europe, especially for riders who have exceeded the maximum age
limit for EMX250 and MX2 and who are not quite at the level of MXGP”.

announced, then will be time for Trentino, an eagerly awaited return in Spain and then
