Rd1 MXGP of Argentina 2026

The 2026 MXGP World Championship opened last week with the MXGP of Argentina at the new Bariloche circuit, marking the first round of the season. Several riders competing with SCRUB Designz graphics were present on the starting gate, representing different teams across both MXGP and MX2 classes. The opening round provided exciting racing and a strong start to the season for many of the riders we support.

One of the standout performances came from Romain Febvre, who finished an impressive second overall in the MXGP class, starting his title defense with a podium result in one of the most competitive fields in recent years.
Pauls Jonass also showed strong speed, delivering a solid performance in the first moto before an unfortunate crash in the second race affected his final overall position. Meanwhile, riders from the Fantic Factory Racing team, including Brent Van Doninck and Alberto Forato, collected valuable championship points at the opening round.

In the MX2 category, positive signs came from young talents such as Mathis Valin and Julius Mikula, both showing encouraging speed and determination during the opening Grand Prix weekend. With the season only just beginning, the MXGP championship promises many exciting battles ahead, and we are proud to see SCRUB Designz graphics represented across multiple teams and riders competing at the highest level of motocross.
