The always enthusiastic army of Swiss fans in red and white will descend on the Schweizer Zucker circuit of Frauenfeld for the MXGP of Switzerland this weekend, as round 17 draws the last triple-header of the 2024 MXGP World Championships to a close!
It is getting close at the top of MXGP, with just nine points between points leader Tim Gajser and reigning Champion Jorge Prado, as both men declare that the final four venues of the year all suit their styles! However, Jeffrey Herlings is the only two-time winner at this circuit and will be aiming to continue his chase as he lies only 35 points back from the leader!
Local hero Jeremy Seewer will start his 200th career Grand Prix – and that is 200 in a row as the Swiss hero has never missed a round – in front of his vocal local supporters who will deafen the riders if their man hits the front! Maybe he can be inspired to claim his first GP win of the year, and his first at Frauenfeld after two runner-up finishes in recent years!
The MX2 class could be wide open as the hard-pack lovers rub their hands at the prospect of the Swiss grasslands, but Kay de Wolf and Lucas Coenen still have a Championship within their grasp and will give no quarter to anyone, especially not each other, as the series gets to the sharp end!
