Swedish rider Isak Gifting has wrapped up the 2025 Italian MX1 Championship, adding a major national title to what has been one of the most memorable seasons of his career so far. The Castiglione del Lago round on the final weekend of August saw him ride with confidence and control, underlining why he’s been the man to beat all year.
Italian Championship Success
Gifting left no doubt at the most recent round in Castiglione del Lago, storming to two race wins and the overall victory, which also sealed the MX1 title. His pace and consistency throughout the Italian Prestige series have been unmatched, with strong showings at Mantova, Cingoli, and now Castiglione keeping him clear of rivals like Jan Pancar, Nicolas Lapucci and Cedric Soubeyras.
By the time the chequered flag flew in Italy, Gifting had not only won another race but also put his stamp on the entire season. For him and his supporters, it was a statement that his hard work and relentless approach are paying off.
A Season Beyond Italy
While his Italian championship win is a career highlight, Gifting has been making waves outside the series too. His results in the MXGP World Championship haven’t always shown on paper what he’s capable of, but his raw speed and determination have been clear to see.
Heroics at Home in Sweden
The standout moment of his season, maybe even his career so far, came earlier in August at the MXGP of Sweden in Uddevalla. Racing in front of a passionate home crowd, Gifting produced the ride of his life.
In the second moto, he carved his way past some of the biggest names in the sport, including Jeffrey Herlings and Romain Febvre, and looked set to claim a stunning maiden GP moto victory. The fans were on their feet as he charged into the closing stages.
But in a cruel twist, his bike slid out in the final laps, costing him what would have been a famous home win. The heartbreak was obvious, but the performance itself was heroic, showing he has the heart and the skill to run with the very best on the world stage.
The Future
For Isak Gifting, 2025 has already been a season to remember. Clinching the Italian MX1 crown proves his consistency across a full campaign, while his ride in Sweden reminded everyone that he’s capable of incredible speed and fearless racing when it matters most.
The Italian title is a major milestone, but the feeling in the paddock is that this is just the beginning. If he can carry the momentum forward, Gifting could well become one of the standout names to watch in both national and world motocross in the years to come.
