2024 Spanish Motocross Championship

The 2024 Spanish Motocross Championship season was the 66th Spanish Motocross Championship season.[1]

The series had seven rounds across the country, running from February to October. José Butrón was the reigning champion in the Elite-MX1, after winning his ninth title in 2023.[2] After taking four overall wins throughout the season, Butrón successfully managed to defend his title.

Gerard Congost was the reigning champion in the Elite-MX2 class after he won his first title in the previous season.[3] Congost proved to be the most consistent rider throughout the season, winning the final round and successfully defending the title.

The opening round of the series in Talavera de la Reina saw the competitive international debut of Triumph's 250cc motocross bike in the Elite-MX2 class.[4] [5]

Adverse weather conditions at the second round in Lugo meant that the entire programme was completed on Saturday rather than being spread across both days.
