2025 FIM MXGP MOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPION
A full decade after he first won the FIM MXGP Motocross World Championship title, Romain Febvre – Kawasaki returned to the top when he raced to the 2025 crown following a fiercely-fought campaign that went down to the wire in Australia.
Injuries have undoubtedly played a major part in the Frenchman’s ten-year wait to regain the title, but when race-fit he has consistently been a contender and he has two FIM silver medals as proof, although gold has always been his goal.
Staying fit across twenty rounds in seventeen countries and four different continents is in itself no easy task, although the thirty-three-year-old has looked solid all season after getting the championship under way with second overall at the opening round in Argentina.
It was not until round seven that Febvre took the lead in the distinctive red sand of Agueda in Portugal and from here he was never headed again, although he was forced to soak up intense pressure in the second half of the season with Belgium’s Lucas Coenen – KTM at one point closing the gap to nine points.
However, Febvre kept his cool and fourth in the opening moto in Darwin in September put the championship beyond doubt.
