A great start to the season for Galfer riders in the 2025 FIM MXGP Motocross World Championship. Mattia Guadagnini and Glenn Coldenhoff secured 4th and 5th place in the first round of the championship, held in Córdoba (Argentina), with their Ducati and Fantic MX bikes equipped with Galfer braking components.
A Challenging Track and Strong Performance
The Argentinian track posed a constant challenge, transitioning from muddy to dusty throughout the day. Nevertheless, Galfer riders showed strong performance from the start. Jeremy Seewer and Mattia Guadagnini, from the Aruba.it – Ducati Factory MX team, achieved the holeshot in both races, demonstrating the potential of the new Ducati Desmo450 MX.
In the first race, three Galfer riders finished in the top 10, with Guadagnini in 4th, Coldenhoff in 5th, and Seewer in 6th, maintaining solid pace throughout. In the second race, Guadagnini repeated his 4th-place finish, while Coldenhoff, after a difficult comeback, finished 7th. This performance secured them 4th and 5th place overall for the GP.
Galfer, the Best Braking Partner
Both Aruba.it – Ducati Factory MX and Fantic Factory riders rely on Galfer’s top-tier braking technology. Depending on the terrain, they use either the “Disc Wave®” or “Disc Shark®”, combined with the sintered Racing G1396R brake pads, ensuring maximum control and precision in every turn.
Mattia Guadagnini: “I tried my best, even though I wasn’t at 100%. In fact, I’m still far from being in my best condition, but I was happy with my performance. The bike is going very well, even better than I expected. With Jeremy we secured two holeshots, and I had a great time riding today. The track was beautiful, technical and challenging. It’s a positive start, and from here, we’ll continue working and improving”.
Glenn Coldenhoff: “It was a solid weekend! Normally, I am not the biggest fan of fast tracks, but I really enjoyed riding here. My starts were a little bit off in both motos. I managed to come back quite well, despite a crash in race 2, which really wasn’t necessary… I was in too much of a hurry, just wanting to move forward, and lost the front. It was really tough afterwards trying to get going again – it was so hot. I struggled for two laps before finding my rhythm again. I pushed hard until the end to try to get sixth, but didn’t manage. Overall, 5-7 for fifth overall isn’t bad at all. The goal is always to be in the top 5, and it was good to see I have the speed. I just need to improve my starts a bit – that will definitely make life easier.”
The next round of MXGP will take place in two weeks in Cozar, Spain, for the Grand Prix of Castilla La Mancha, where Galfer will have its own presence in the expo area.
