Infront Moto Racing announces that the FIM Junior Motocross World Championship will return to Jinín, Czech Republic, in 2026. This will be the third time this historic venue has hosted this prestigious event, following successful editions in 2005 and 2013.
The championship has long served as a springboard for future motocross stars. In 2013, Jinín witnessed some unforgettable performances, including Pauls Jonass winning the 125cc title with a 1-2 advantage over Calvin Vlaanderen, while Conrad Mewse triumphed in the 85cc category, ahead of future MXGP icons such as Hunter Lawrence, Chase Sexton, and Jorge Prado.
This year's edition in Romagné, France, once again showcased the diversity of talent on the world stage, most notably with the EMX125 title for home hero Mano Faure. Rafael Mennillo also took victory on home soil in the 85cc class, while American Kannon Zabojnik won the 65cc World Cup, braving the muddy conditions to take the gold medal.
The Jinín circuit, known for its demanding natural terrain and technical character, offers the perfect challenge for riders in all three categories: 65cc, 85cc, and 125cc. Its atmosphere, steeped in racing heritage and driven by a passionate local community, continues to make it one of the most striking venues on the international junior motocross calendar.
Infront Moto Racing, in close collaboration with the FIM, remains fully committed to developing young talent. The return to Jinín in 2026 reflects this shared mission and the confidence in the Czech organizers, who have consistently delivered top-notch events with professionalism and dedication.
