Fantic Factory Racing MXGP Faces Setback at the MXGP of Trentino
The striking look of the Fantic Factory Racing MXGP x NILS livery and the energy of the home crowd created the perfect setting for a special weekend. However, the sporting results fell short of expectations, with home rider Alberto Forato finishing 16th overall in the fifth round of the MXGP World Championship in Trentino.
With a special one-off livery—designed in collaboration with Fantic’s official partner NILS (Experts in lubricants)—Alberto Forato and Brent Van doninck were aiming to deliver a strong performance in front of a packed crowd. A total of 36,500 spectators attended over the course of the weekend.
To fight for top results in MXGP, everything needs to come together. This time, however, things did not go in favor of the Fantic Factory Racing MXGP riders. In Saturday’s Qualifying Race, Forato held a strong sixth position for much of the race until a small issue dropped him back to 18th, with Van doninck finishing just behind in 19th.
The first moto proved difficult, with the duo finishing 14th and 17th. The second moto brought more misfortune: Forato crashed in the opening corner, while Van doninck was forced to retire later in the race following a heavy crash.
The positive news is that both riders escaped injury. Despite another fall, Forato still managed to score points with a 19th-place finish. However, 16th overall was not the result the Italian had hoped for on home soil—especially after strong performances in MXGP of Sardegna and MXGP of Switzerland, where he finished sixth and seventh overall.
The upcoming four-week break in the championship provides the team with an opportunity to regroup, while the riders can fully recover after an intense start to the season.

Alberto Forato strong sixth in MXGP Sardinia
The Fantic Factory Racing MXGP Team enjoyed a solid and positive weekend during the MXGP of Sardinia in Riola Sardo. On the demanding sand circuit, where conditions are always extremely tough, both Alberto Forato and Brent Van doninck managed to score points multiple times.
The Fantic XXF 450 machines stood out not only thanks to their special “Sunset White” livery, but also with a strong performance in the qualifying race, where Forato finished eighth and Van doninck followed closely behind in tenth.
Forato carried his strong form into Sunday’s races. In the first moto, he managed to hold on to a top-eight position despite suffering a heavy crash during the warm-up.
In the second moto, the Italian made an even better start and briefly ran in fifth position. After a hectic opening phase, he crossed the line in ninth place before finding his rhythm and working his way forward. He eventually finished seventh, which secured him a strong sixth overall.
For Van doninck, the weekend started promisingly with a solid qualifying race, but he crashed at the start of the first moto. From the back of the field, he fought his way back to 19th position.
In the second moto, the Belgian had a good start but lost ground in the first corner and once again had to fight his way forward. With a strong comeback, he eventually finished 12th, placing him 16th overall for the weekend.
