Jeffrey Herlings' victory in MXGP confirms his leadership in the championship. Maxime Renaux wins in MX2 and stays at the top of the standings. Pirelli mathematically wins the MX2 class title World Title.

The Arroyomolinos circuit hosted the Spanish Grand Prix, the thirteenth round of the 2021 edition of the FIM Motocross World Championship. On this difficult and demanding track, characterised by a medium hard surface, the riders equipped by Pirelli were able to count on the excellent performance of the front and rear SCORPION MX32 Mid Soft tyres that, combined with medium hard mousse, proved to be successful in every category.

In the MXGP class Jeffrey Herlings hit the overall victory and consolidated his leadership in the championship. Jorge Prado finished second ahead of Tim Gajser. Good placement, fifth, for Antonio Cairoli.

Maxime Renaux won the overall victory in the MX2 class and kept the leadership in the championship. Tom Vialle and Jed Beaton, second and third, completed a podium of the day completely branded Pirelli. Good performances also for Mattia Guadagnini, Rene Hofer, Jago Geerts, Ruben Fernandez and Thibault Benistant who finished in this order from fourth to eighth. With five races ahead of the end of the championship, Pirelli mathematically won the title of the MX2 class, bringing the motocross world championship to 75.

Next weekend the "Al Ciclamino" circuit in Pietramurata will host the Trentino Grand Prix, the fourteenth world championship round of the season and the first of three consecutive races held on the track in Alto Garda.
