From MXA
If you are a motocross fan, you have probably heard of Lorenzo Locurcio at some point. The rider from Venezuela began his Pro career in the States back in 2017. After a few seasons here, he branched out and raced in Europe. While Locurcio was getting some notice from those close to motocross, he was not getting noticed enough by the big factory teams. Still, the 26-year-old persevered, and now in 2023 is riding for the team he put together – wildcat racing. He also has brought on former teammate and Spanish MXGP rider Jose Butron. At 32, the MXGP veteran. Butron, scored an eighth and tenth at the first two California rounds. Recent race results may have caused him to drop out of the top ten, but he hopes to return to his Californian ways soon. Butron is currently fourteenth in points.
Meanwhile, Lorenzo is seventh in the 450 motocross championship series, seven points behind another privateer sensation, Ty Masterpool. Motocross Action had the chance to catch up with Lorenzo to learn more about him and his new team. If you need an underdog to root for in Motocross this summer, may we suggest Lorenzo Locurcio?
