2024 French Elite Motocross Championship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2024 French Elite Motocross Championship season was the 76th French Motocross Championship season.[1][2]
The series consisted of seven rounds across the country, running from late February to June. Swiss rider Valentin Guillod was the reigning champion in the Elite MX1 class, after winning his first title in 2023. Guillod was unable to defend his title, finishing runner-up to Maxime Desprey, who took his fourth senior French Elite crown.
Pierre Goupillon was the reigning champion in Elite MX2, after he won his third title in a row in 2023.[3] He did not defend his title however, as he moved up to the Elite MX1 class. In his first year in the class, reigning FIM Motocross Junior World Champion Mathis Valin won the Elite MX2 championship .
The opening round of the series, scheduled to take place on 25 February in Lacapelle-Marival was ultimately cancelled due to adverse weather conditions.[4]
