Maxime Renaux (born 17 May 2000) is a French professional motocross racer. [2] He has competed in the Motocross World Championships since 2016. He is the 2021 MX2 World Champion & was a member of the winning French team at the 2023 Motocross des Nations.
In 2021, Renuax won the MX2 World Championship with 5GP wins as well as 14 out of 18 podium finishes.
For the 2022 season, Maxime made his debut in the MXGP class. He placed 4th in the final Championship standings with 1 Grand Prix win at Round 9, as well as 7 podium finishes.
He was also chosen to represent France at the MXON, alongside Dylan Ferrandis & Marvin Musquin, in the MXGP category. In the qualifying race he finished 7th, in Race 1 he finished 3rd & Race 3 he placed 1st, this was enough to give France 2nd place.
After a strong debut season in 2022, Renaux was poised as a title challenger for 2023. Renaux won round 3, but a few weeks later at the Spanish Grand Prix, he suffered a fracture in his foot. This sidelined him for a majority of the season, therefore ending his championship goals.
Renaux competed in the opening two Grand Prix but re-aggravated his injured foot from 2023. He returned for the last four races and scored one top five.
