The 9th leg of the World Motocross Championship (MXGP of Afyon) started in Turkey’s western Afyonkarahisar province on Tuesday.
The event started with free training and qualifying laps in two categories, World Women’s Motocross Championship (WMX) and the European Motocross Championship (EMX Open), at Afyon Motor Sports Center.

Noting that the WMX and EMX Open will end on Tuesday, Geren said: “Today, the European champion will be announced in Afyonkarahisar. It is a very important day for both Turkey and Afyonkarahisar.”
