WORLDWIDE TV COVERAGE – THE 2026 MXGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP HOLDS ITS EIGHTH ROUND AT THE MXGP OF LATVIA!

KEGUMS (Latvia) 5th June 2026 –The 2026 MXGP FIM Motocross World Championship completes its first three-weekend run of the season with the annual trip to the Baltics for the MXGP of Latvia at the challenging Motocenter Zelta Zirgs venue of Kegums!

The local heroes should get the crowd worked up in every class, as the sole Latvian World Champion, Pauls Jonass, is set to take the start at home for the first time since 2022, while brothers Karlis and Janis Reisulis are fired up to challenge at the very top of the MX2 division!

Lucas Coenen holds the series leader’s red plate for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, and is looking for his first victory in this part of the world. In contrast, Jeffrey Herlings, who lost points last weekend in the title chase for Honda HRC Petronas, is on the hunt for his tenth GP victory in this country!

The MX2 class has a new leader, and it’s the twin brother of the MXGP class leader! Sacha Coenen starts a Grand Prix with the red plate for the very first time, and he has won the last two GPs here in MX2 for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing! Simon Längenfelder is only three points behind though, and keen for his first win at this venue, which he was denied with a late crash last year.  This weekend should be red hot in MX2!

Below you can find a list of all TV channels worldwide that will air LIVE and delayed action of the MXGP of Latvia, as well as the 26-minute Behind The Gate magazine show featuring the best moments from the races, exclusive interviews and more.  The team of Paul Malin, Lisa Leyland, and Ben Rumbold will bring all the race action to you, with Saturday’s Time Practice sessions also being broadcast LIVE, and all of this footage, plus the action from the hectic EMX250 European Championship, and the EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing series, will be available on MXGP-TV.com and via our TV magazine partners following the Grand Prix.

As always, MXGP fans can follow the races LIVE throughout the weekend. All you need to do is log onto www.MXGP-TV.com Saturday and Sunday, from wherever you are in the world.  The battle of the Baltics promises to be a thrilling one in all classes, so come and join us!

THE TWINS LEAD THE CHARGE TO KEGUMS AS IT’S TIME FOR THE MXGP OF LATVIA!

KEGUMS (Latvia) – 4th June 2026 – The 2026 FIM Motocross World Championships prepares for its third GP in as many weekends, taking us to the eighth round of the series at the challenging Motocenter Zelta Zirgs venue, near the town of Kegums for the MXGP of Latvia! The general description of this track is always to say that it’s sandy, but there is definitely a harder base than the sand of the Benelux countries, meaning that good hardpack riders can find something for themselves to perform on as well!

Motocross World Championship action has been seen here since 2005, when Belgian Sven Breugelmans won his second Grand Prix on his way to that season’s MX3 world title.  The full MXGP series first came here in 2009, won by Antonio Cairoli, also on a KTM, with Potugal’s Rui Goncalves taking victory in MX2.  We have been back to the Zelta Zirgs, named after the “Golden Horse”, Latvian mythology’s symbol of strength and bravery, every year since then, with the standout event being the Motocross of Nations in 2014.  We even came here for three GPs in eight days to restart the Championship after the Coronavirus suspension was lifted in 2020. 

This year the MXGP World Championship is being fought out between the top two riders here in last year’s GP. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing lead the way with their teenage prodigy Lucas Coenen, and after problems for Honda HRC Petronas rider Jeffrey Herlings in Germany, the Belgian now holds a 31-point advantage over the Dutch legend, who is going for an amazing tenth Grand Prix win at the circuit! Fifty points further back is Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP’s reigning World Champion Romain Febvre, who has yet to win here but is always a contender!  His teammate Pauls Jonass, Latvia’s only Motocross World Champion to date, finally makes it to his home GP after missing it through injury for the last three seasons! He sits just two points outside of the series top ten and will be fired up for his home round!

For the first time in Motocross history we have twin brothers, or indeed brothers of any age difference, leading two World Championships at the same time, as Red Bull KTM Factory Racing flyer Sacha Coenen wears the red plate at Kegums, holding it for the first time at the start of a race weekend. The title chase is closer in MX2 however, as defending Champion Simon Längenfelder is only three points behind the Belgian for Red Bull KTM Factory Racinng, but will be mindful of the fact that Sacha has won the last two MX2 GPs at the Latvian venue!  19 points off the lead is Spaniard Guillem Farres of the Triumph Factory Racing Team, but the home fans will be looking to the Reisulis brothers, Janis and Karlis of the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 squad, to be challenging for their first Grand Prix podium, especially as the younger of the two, Janis, has been getting closer to that top three throughout his rookie season!

The EMX250 European Championship sets up for its sixth round, which will mark the halfway point of the season for them, and the Venum BUD Racing Kawasaki pairing of Francisco Garcia from Spain and Jake Cannon from Australia lead the way, 30 points apart, while Danish rider Nicolai Skovbjerg holds third for Mx-Handel Racing Husqvarna. Local man Jekabs Kubulins has had an up and down season for JK Racing Yamaha, and has pace far better than his 14th place in the standings might suggest!

The EMX125 European Championship Presented by FMF Racing fires into the second half of its series this weekend, and the Norman KTM Factory Rookies squad are dominating with their two Austrians, Moritz Ernecker and Ricardo Bauer, leading the way. Frenchman Sleny Goyer is still giving chase in third for Yamaha Europe Monster Energy MJC, and while there are no Latvian points scorers in this Championship so far, there should be a healthy dose of local support for the prodigious KTM MX Futures Estonian Lucas Leok, as he fights from tenth in the series!

The MXGP of Latvia often delivers some fantastic racing as the shifting sands test even the toughest of competitors, so don’t be missing this intense weekend of Motocross ahead of us!

 




Pauls Jonass

Lucas Coenen looked immaculate with his double victory at last weekend’s Liqui Moly MXGP of Germany, and for sure his main rival Jeffrey Herlings will be hoping that their respective past records in Latvia hold true for another season!  The Belgian has finished second across multiple races at the Zelta Zirgs, including all three races in MXGP last year, for second overall, and in two of the three races in MX2 back in 2024, again claiming second overall! He even took a second in the only Sunday race he finished back in 2023!

In contrast, Herlings is coming to one of his best ever circuits. Literally, in terms of GP victories, his nine wins here are only matched by his nine at Valkenswaard, a venue we haven’t raced at for some time.  He’s been on the podium at Kegums 12 times from his 15 attempts, including his last six visits! Winner of the last three GPs here, and seven of the last nine individual races, his record here is nothing short of ridiculous, stretching back to only his second career victory anywhere, back in 2010.  Does this make him the favourite, or do we think of the sheer pace of Coenen this season, especially in the softer going of Sardegna?  There’s no way that the King of Kegums is going to give it away without a fight!

Romain Febvre has been a solid podium contender for almost as long as “The Bullet”, with six top three results in 13 visits, including third overall last year and third in the Qualifying Race. He hasn’t won an individual race since his first title defence in 2016, but one of the best sand riders ever from France cannot be discounted!

Neither can Tim Gajser, who is seven points back from Febvre for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP, and he has four GP wins and six race wins to his name here, as well as his last attempt at a Qualifying Race win in 2024.  His teammate Maxime Renaux, just five points further back from the Slovenian, took a double race win here in his MX2 title season of 2021, but only a best of fifth in the premiere class.

Kay de Wolf continues to march up the points table for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing, moving up to sixth place after Germany thanks to the injury-enforced absence of Honda HRC Petronas’ Tom Vialle.  The Dutchman won his first ever overall GP here in 2023, and has either crashed or won in most of his outings since. The former MX2 World Champion will be hoping for nothing less than another podium result, while Vialle is uncertain to be riding at the site where he won a single GP back in 2020, but was third on his last visit in 2022. The Frenchman’s  Honda HRC Petronas teammate Ruben Fernandez, still eighth but closer after his German GP podium, has a surprisingly good record here, with fifth overall last year and a podium in 2022.

Another who enjoyed his first 2026 podium in Germany was Andrea Adamo, and the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing pilot will be looking for his first top three result of any kind at Kegums. His fellow Italian Alberto Forato moved into the series top ten with a sixth in Germany, and although he got an EMX250 podium here in 2019, sixth overall with a 4-9 scorecard in 2022 is his best in Latvia at GP level.

The other Kegums GP winner lining up in MXGP is Jago Geerts, who won three times in MX2, and took his best Sunday result yet in the MXGP class here with sixth overall last season.  The MRT Racing Team Beta rider will be hoping for something similar to lift himself from 19th in this year’s Championship, while home hero Pauls Jonass will initially be happy just to be here after three years of missing out on his local fans’ adulation! He actually took second overall the last time he lined up at the Zelta Zirgs, with three second places across the weekend in 2022. Just a single race win in his MX2 title season of 2017, plus an EMX125 victory in 2013, look likely to remain his only victories from home territory, but the Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP man can certainly dream of more!

Be prepared for a stunning showdown this weekend in the MXGP class!

MX2 Start Kegums 2025

The timing could not be better for Sacha Coenen to wear his first ever red plate, apart from those earned on a Saturday, as he returns to the site of his first ever GP victory in 2024, which he repeated last year!  The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider was helped by a last lap crash from the lead for his teammate Simon Längenfelder in the 2025 GP, so the German can pick up the pace here to try and reverse that three-point gap between the two! He took last year’s Qualifying Race win, as well as podium trophies from each of the last two visits to Kegums. He needs to dig deep again this weekend!

Guillem Farres didn’t have a great GP in Germany, and he took eighth overall from his only visit to Latvia last season.  From fourth in the Championship, Liam Everts will be looking for his first Kegums podium for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing as he tries to claw back the 20 points to Farres.  He will likely be challenged by the other Triumph Racing Factory Team rider Camden McLellan, who is only three points behind the Belgian and stronger in the sand than his sixth here last year might indicate!

Mathis Valin is riding high from his first ever GP win last weekend for Kawasaki Racing Team MX2, and is on a three-GP podium streak as well, so he will be looking to repeat his 2023 EMX125 victory here and press forward from sixth in the Championship.

Behind him, though, is his successor as EMX250 Champion and absolute home favourite Janis Reisulis, and the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 rider pushed to this limit to enjoy a perfect day in EMX250 last year, sending the fans into raptures, and they will make intense noise for both him and brother Karlis, who also had a great weekend with his best ever Qualifying result of third last season. Valerio Lata is currently a point ahead of the elder brother for Honda HRC Petronas, and the Italian will be looking to remember his race win here in EMX250 two years ago, rather than his double DNF of last year!

Rounding out the top ten is Julius Mikula, and hopefully the likeable Czech racing for the Ošicka KTM Racing team has recovered well enough from his big crash of last weekend to defend that spot, although Kay Karssemakers will fancy his chances in the sand for Dixon Racing Kawasaki.

With all of their home heroes to cheer on in both major classes, the Latvian fans should generate another fantastic atmosphere around the Zelta Zirgs circuit, and we look forward to a brilliant GP as the top riders battle in the Baltics!

BAUER TURNS THE TABLES TO CLAIM THE OVERALL ROUND WIN IN FRANCE

LACAPELLE MARIVAL (France) 24 May 2026 – Round 5 of the EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing series delivered a thrilling two-race weekend at Lacapelle Marival, with the Norman KTM Factory Rookies squad dominating proceedings but in contrasting fashion across Saturday and Sunday. Norman KTM Factory Rookies' Moritz Ernecker took Race 1 in dominant style, but it was his teammate Ricardo Bauer who reversed the result in Race 2 to claim the overall win. Sleny Goyer from Yamaha Europe Monster Energy MJC capitalised on his home race to get a much deserved third step on the podium.



EMX125 Start France

The start was eventful with one rider going down on the outside of the first corner, but Ernecker was untroubled at the front as he grabbed the holeshot and converted it into a commanding start-to-flag victory, leading all 16 laps.

Behind him, Fantic Factory Racing EMX’s Bertram Thorius and Storm Maymann were initial challengers before Andrea Uccellini riding for TM Moto CRD Motosport Factory Racing came flying through, passing Emil Ziemer and Fantic Factory Racing EMX’s Gennaro Utech in quick succession. Uccellini's momentum was a highlight of the early laps, the Italian making a stunning outside pass to firmly establish himself behind leader Ernecker.

Ernecker, running on red plates and already 4.5 seconds clear of Thorius, was controlling the race with authority. Uccellini passed Thorius also mid-race. The race's defining move came with ten minutes plus two laps remaining, when Ricardo Bauer who had a bad start, passing the opening lap in 12th, patiently found his rhythm and methodically moved passed every riders in front of him until lap 10 of 15 where he opening and passed Thorius for second. He pushed hard to close on Ernecker but the gap held.

Goyer had a difficult start, running as far back as ninth before working his way through to fourth, his progress hampered by a cross-rut mistake and a well-timed pass from Bauer at a jump. Thorius ran strongly in second for much of the race but crashed in the closing laps, dropping from second to ninth at the flag. Levi Townley from Yamaha Europe Monster Energy MJC delivered a standout seventh for New Zealand, with Utech fifth, Ziemer sixth and Edoardo Riganti eighth.

 

Race 2 saw Ernecker grab the holeshot once more, but it was Bauer who emerged from the opening corners in a stronger position this time, slotting into second immediately behind his teammate. Jorge Salvador briefly ran second but Bauer was not to be denied, charging down the inside to move to the front of the chase group, with Goyer slotting into third behind the two Austrians as they powered up the hill.

Bauer did not wait long to make his move for the lead. On the very next lap he swept past Ernecker and immediately began to build an impressive advantage. Meanwhile, Fantic Factory Racing EMX's Thorius was charging through the field and at one point moved into second, getting alongside Oleguer Riba before passing him too. The Dane was running strongly, but his race would be undone by a post-race penalty: a loss of 10 positions for not respecting a waved yellow flag, which dropped him from third on the road to 13th in the official classification. Similarly, RFME Spain National Team's Pau Caudet received a 10-position penalty for not respecting a waved medical flag.

Bauer crossed the line to claim his second race win of the season in 30:42.278, 7.455 seconds ahead of Goyer, who secured a strong second. Ernecker came home third on the road but was classified third after Bauer's win, completing another Norman KTM Factory Rookies podium lockout. Fantic Factory Racing EMX's Utech was fourth, Townley fifth and Ziemer sixth. Maymann delivered a much-improved seventh after his difficult Race 1, while Dreams Racing KTM's David Cracco was eighth. Riba took ninth and MCV Motorsport-TM Moto's Riccardo Pini tenth. Bauer also set the fastest lap of Race 2, a 1:44.380 in lap three at 51.734 km/h.

In the Grand Prix overall, Bauer's 2-1 scorecard gave him 47 points to take the round victory over Ernecker's 45 (1-3). Goyer was third overall on 40 points with a 4-2. In the championship, Ernecker maintains his lead on 223 points with Bauer on 185 and Goyer on 166 in third. The series continues to be one of the most competitive in European motocross, with five rounds still to run.

 

Ricardo Bauer: “In the first race I didn't have a good start, but managing to come through from mid-pack to second was actually pretty amazing. Today I had a pretty good start, managed to stay at the front for almost the whole moto, so I'm pretty happy about it.”

Moritz Ernecker: “It was a clay weekend, I would say. The first moto was good, I took the win, so yeah. The second moto, maybe I took not so good lines and wasn't fast enough. But I'm happy to still take the second overall and still keep the red plate.”

Sleny Goyer: “It was a good, even race. I made the start around the top five, and then I passed my way through, first fifth, then fourth, then third, then second. I had the speed and good lines. But I couldn't pass Ricardo, so yeah. A good second race and third overall — it was good. Thank you to all my sponsors and my team.”
