Calvin Vlaanderen, 30, has signed with SR Motoblouz Honda to race MXGP starting in 2027. He has finished in the world's top seven for four straight seasons, with seven Grand Prix podiums, two GP wins and a Motocross of Nations title. The team had been down to one rider after Thibault Benistant's injury.
Having watched this stuff firsthand, landing an offer like this at 30 is proof of real ability. The team manager's comment name-checking Febvre and Herlings was on point — needing either experience or youth is just the reality of MXGP. Seven podiums tells the story: Vlaanderen's still got plenty left to give.
