2024 Italian Prestige Motocross Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2024 Italian Prestige Motocross Championship season was the 16th edition of the Italian Motocross Championship carrying the 'Prestige' moniker.[1]

The series had six rounds across the country, running from March to late September. Alberto Forato was the reigning champion in the MX1 Elite class, after winning his second title in 2023.[2] Due to injuries and switching teams, Forato was only able to ride a single round of the season.

The season was notable as it saw the competitive international debut of Ducati's 450cc motocross bike in the MX1 Elite class, ridden by former champion Alessandro Lupino.[3][4] After taking three race wins and two overall round victories, Lupino was able to take his sixth national title. This meant that Ducati were able to win a title in their first season competing with the new 450cc bike.

Cas Valk was the reigning champion in the MX2 Elite class, but he did not defend his title due to moving to a team not based in Italy.[5] Former European Champion Valerio Lata dominated the class, winning every round and all but two races to take his first senior national title.
