With 5 Championships in the bag, Tim Gasjer is fit and ready for a sixth in 2024.
Five-time world champion Tim Gajser is fit and looking to add to his trophy haul after an injury-hit 2023 MXGP campaign.
The Slovenian did return later in the year and ended up winning two of the final three rounds in 2023, but his eyes have been firmly set on this year for some time and he will be looking to continue his winning ways, on what is a brand-new Honda CRF450R.
The 27-year-old has been strenuously testing the new machine over this winter period, making sure it is ready for all the challenges that a 20-round MXGP season can throw at it, and after considerable riding time, he has declared he is extremely happy with the results and are excited for the first gate-drop on March 9-10.

“I can’t wait for this season to get underway,” Gajser enthused. “I found my form at the end of last year and since then we’ve had a new bike which is great to ride and I’m looking forward to going out there and showing it. The off-season has been good, with a lot of extra stuff but I’ve been able to get in the riding I’ve needed to do and basing myself in Sardinia for a month or so has worked out well so that I can really train how I need to. The team have been working hard alongside me to help get everything to where it needs to be, and now we are just looking to get to that first gate drop and getting this 2024 season started.”
Gasjer will compete in two warm-up races in Riola Sardo and Mantova to make sure everything is ready for the 2024 FIM Motocross World Championship kicks off in Argentina in just over one month’s time.
