Renaux: "I’m really excited for this new challenge"
Renaux will run his final 250 race on Saturday at the Supercross in Paris, before moving to the reigning class where he will be up against MXGP veterans Jeremy Seewer and Glenn Coldenhoff. Maxime comments: “I’m really excited for this new challenge and my next chapter, as I move to MXGP. I know it will be a totally new challenge, and the most important part of my career, because once you reach MXGP you’re at the top, there are no more classes. I feel ready and can’t wait to make this experience positive and long-lasting”.
