“Over the years, France has demonstrated the quality of its organisation, its clubs and its circuits capable of welcoming MXGP and above all the passion of its supporters.
“I would like to thank Mr Poirier and his teams for our collaboration, always constructive and fruitful.”
Poirier said: “I am delighted with the calendar decided with InFront, which secures the major motocross events to come until 2027.
“This allows our clubs to project themselves into the future and to work serenely.
“France is a great land of motocross which has trained many champions and has an exceptional breeding ground for the years to come. It is also widely recognized internationally for the quality of its organizations.”
