Brian Bogers is back in action in Loket this weekend, teaming up with Fantic Factory Racing MXGP teammate Glenn Coldenhoff on a special mission aboard the Fantic XXF 450 at round 13 of the 2024 FIM Motocross World Championship – 55 years after mankind first set foot on the moon.

On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 mission and Neil Armstrong’s “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” earned their place in the history books. In honor of the 55th anniversary of the moon landingFantic Factory Racing MXGP’s Glenn Coldenhoff and Brian Bogers will take to the track with a unique livery at the Czech GPdesigned in collaboration with the official partner of the Italian manufacturer, Shot Race Gear.

Fantic returned to the top class of the FIM Motocross World Championship this season and The Fantic XXF 450 has already taken on the MXGP stars on several occasions, with both Glenn Coldenhoff and Brian Bogers close to what would be a historic first podium for the Italian marque at the pinnacle of the sport. Fantic Factory Racing MXGP has taken five top-5 overall finishes so far this season, with Coldenhoff currently sitting sixth in the championship.

Back to full power with Bogers makes his comeback in racing in the Czech Republic, after dislocating his left shoulder at the first GP of Indonesia three weeks ago, Fantic is fully committed to writing his own piece of MXGP history – aiming for the moon, step by step – just as the Fantic XX 125 riders did with an impressive 1-2 by Noel Zanocz and Simone Mancini at the FIM Junior Motocross World Championship in the Netherlands last weekend.

Brian Bogers:
“Luckily, my shoulder feels completely fine again. I only had a week off from cycling and had a lot of treatments. I’m ready to rock ‘n’ roll again.”

Glenn Coldenhoff:
“We did some testing and I think it was good, but training is one thing and racing is another. I always feel good here, I was in the top 5 the last three years. We are still working on a podium this season and it would be great to get that here before we go to Lommel.”
