As we head to the Cozar circuit in Spain for the second round of the 2025 MXGP championship, we head there with the great memories from the opening in Argentina a little over a week ago.

While the MXGP class saw riders having major performances from the Frenchies, Maxime Renaux and Romain Febvre and a consistent day from series favourite, Tim Gajser. In the MX2 class, brilliant performances from Kay De Wolf, Simon Langenfelder, Sasha Coenen and Liam Everts.

Lets go back in time though, as we look at another Everts putting in a fine performance in Spain. Below is a cool video of the oldest of the Everts family winning at the very famous Circuito del Valles Sabadell Terrassa.On Puch machine, Harry scored third in the World the previous season in the 250cc class and in 1975, he scored his first of four World title.

Riding the Puch machine, Everts went 3-2 for the victory in Spain, the opening round of the 250cc World championship. He would go 1-1 in Poland in round five and 2-1 in England at round eight. By season end his 179 points was enough to see him take victory ahead of Hakan Andersson on the Yamaha and Willie Bauer on the Suzuki.

Back in the day 12 rounds were run and from memory, they counted your best eight rounds, for thus it was 159 points to Everts, 134pts to Anderson and 130pts to Bauer.

It was also the season that Suzuki arrived on the scene, with Gaston Rahier winning the 125cc championship and Roger De Coster the 500cc championship. Suzuki was on its way and soon after, Everts also joined the brand and won their three 125cc championships in a row.
