Continuing our series of interviews held for Behind The Gate, the documentary series which is produced after every GP and aired immediately on MXGP-TV.com, here is the interview that we held for Episode Three of the 2026 season, “Ruling The Waves”.

Our first MX2 rider to be featured on Behind The Gate in 2026 was Valerio Lata, now the lone MX2 pilot for the Honda HRC Petronas squad.  The powerhouse team has obviously taken on former multiple World Champions Jeffrey Herlings and Tom Vialle, as well as retaining the services of Ruben Fernandez, who we followed at the same time, over the weekend of the MXGP of Andalucia, round two of the World Championship and the first stop of the season in Europe.  Ruben’s interview is to be found elsewhere on this site.

Valerio was interviewed on the Friday before the MXGP of Switzerland presented by iXS, at our mobile studio on the edge of the circuit at Frauenfeld.  Valerio had recovered from a big first lap crash in Argentina, that was no fault of his own as he landed on a short-jumping Jens Walvoort, then had Sacha Coenen plough into him and his bike on the ground.  Bruised and not able to train fully between the first two rounds, the young Italian in his second year of MX2 came to Almonte with the hope of merely getting through the weekend, but emerged with a fine sixth overall after taking eighth and fourth in Sunday’s races, making it his best GP in Spain on his fourth such event in the country.

Valerio is always enthusiastic when the Behind The Gate crew are with him.  For his first feature last year, he cheerfully quipped “Like and Subscribe!” on camera with a big grin, a moment that was too good to take out in the edit.  Despite the pain from his Argentina crash, he was just as much fun this time around.  Here’s what he had to say in interview:

BTG: Similar to what we asked Ruben before you, did you know of the track before the weekend, or were you expecting hard-pack?  Did you know it was sandy, or were you surprised when you saw it?

VL18: Yeah, the track in Spain was new for me, new for all the other riders, so yeah, it was a really hard track and there were really big bumps on the whole track, so it was for me one of the best tracks on the calendar. It was also good for the difficulty, but yeah, it was a good weekend on the sand. It's not my favourite kind of track, the sand, but it was a really good race, especially for this show!  I like Spain, I like the fans, it was really full of people, so this is important for the motor race.

BTG:  The first race for you didn't quite go so well, starting and finishing in eighth position. You were kind of there from the start, then went forward, then went back.  How did you feel after that first race? 

VL18:  Yeah, the feeling on the weekend was not really perfect, also because of the problem in Argentina after the big crash.  So, I'm not 100 %, and yeah the lap time was really slow and the first race I was really trying to survive and not lose positions.

BTG:  About the Argentina accident, we saw it was a nasty crash, you landed on Walvoort, completely not your fault but it can happen in racing.  What injuries did you have?  Before the GP, how did you feel physically before Spain?

VL18: Yeah, after the crash in Argentina, I jumped on the back of Walvoort, and Sacha Coenen hit me, with another rider, so yeah I have a completely black area on my left leg! So it was really hard to train, also without the bike, so I stay at home without training, without the bike for a week after Argentina, and I raced one week before, in Ottobiano in the Italian Championship. So I go directly to Spain from there, and yeah the conditions were not perfect but yeah, this is how it is.

BTG:  So talk us through race two if you can please, because you had a good start and then you passed Camden Mc Lellan in between the second and third corners, so you moved forward well!  So yeah, talk us through the start of that race and how you were able to hold on to so long.

VL18: The start was good in race two, and I passed Mc Lellan and Simon Längenfelder on the first or second corner.  I took the second place behind Sacha, and I tried to follow him because Sacha is really fast for the whole race, but especially in the first minutes of the race.  So, I tried to follow, and I took a small gap from Längenfelder, but yeah, I was a little bit tired after the first race and for the finish of the second race.  So, Simon came past me on the last lap, so I lost the third position.  I stayed second for most of the race and I finished fourth, so it was a really good experience, it was a good race, also for me in this moment.  I prefer to ride without risk, but finished the race with the fourth position.  So for me, it's a good position, and it's really important also for the mind for the next race.

BTG:  The championship in general, of course, you've had the riders that have moved up to MXGP, like Kay de Wolf and Andrea Adamo. They’ve all gone up a class, but you still have the Reisulis brothers and a few other guys to deal with.  So, in your position, you finished last year with a good podium in Australia.  You had a Qualifying Race win there in Germany.  So, is it like the podium is the goal and then anything else is just not so good? Is that how things are for you?  Is that your main aim now?

VL18: Yeah, the goal is a victory.  The goal is winning the race and winning the GP is really important, not only for me, but also for the team.  And yeah, I have new riders on the team.  I come into MX2 from the European Championship las year, and yeah this year without Adamo and De Wolf, Thibault Benistant, the class is really tight, the time is tight, especially in the Time Practice or the Qualifying Race, the gap is really, really close and other riders are all very close together.  So it's really important to start in front, because when you start in front it's more easy to stay in the first two or three positions.

BTG: So with the changes in the team, of course now you are the only rider on a 250, does this make things tougher for you?  The team is just talking to you only, about the 250.  Then you've got these two new guys coming in.  How different is it?  Do you work with them?  Do they talk to you and give you advice?  What have you learned from them?  And how do you feel about your place in the team, as the only 250 guy? 

VL18: Yeah, of course, when you stay on the team, and you are only one rider in MX2, it's very important because when you have a test, all the people are with just you.  So, it's really important for me, also for changing some things on the bike.  And yeah, this year we have Jeffrey Herlings and Tom Vialle.  They are new riders on the team, and these two weeks I stay in Belgium, in Holland, with them!  I was training with Tom and on the last bit of training this week, I stay with Jeffrey. So also for me it's really good preparation for the World Championship, to stay with these Champions, and yeah, I'm really happy for this.

Epilogue: Valerio followed up his Spanish result with fifth overall in Switzerland, and a season-best third in the Qualifying Race there. Scoring points in each Qualifying Race of his “home” GPs in Sardegna and Trentino, he struggled with results outside of the top 10 in both, leaving him ninth in the points standings after five rounds. He will look to bounce back on the hard-pack of Lacapelle Marival, where he took the EMX125 overall victory in 2021.  Fifth at Ernée last year after a third in race one, he will hope that France proves to be a happy hunting ground for him once again.

TM Moto has announced that its relationship with MX2 World Championship rider Cas Valk has ended by mutual agreement.

After a very positive start to the season, differences in opinion between the team and the rider grew increasingly with the start of the world championship races, ultimately leading to the split.

TM Moto wishes to Cas all the best as he continues his sporting career.

TM Moto is now evaluating other opportunities to continue its journey in the MX2 World Championship.

PIETRAMURATA (Trentino, Italy) 19th April 2026 – The noise, the atmosphere, the cliffsides, and the chaos – it can only be the MXGP of Trentino, and the fans of all nationalities rocked the slopes of “Il Ciclamino” for round five of the 2026 FIM World Motocross Championships at one of the most iconic venues of the whole series! The riders responded with maximum effort, throwing their all into the GP races which turned into suitably spectacular affairs!

Although rain was expected, it came as a shock when it poured down just as the first MX2 race was lining up, but after the morning sunshine and crosswinds gave the organisers work to do in their battle against the dust, the circuit was in prime condition for great racing, which it delivered in spades!

With below average starts and countless passes in two battles through the pack, Honda HRC Petronas’ megastar Jeffrey Herlings took his 114th Grand Prix victory, his sixth at this circuit and incredibly his 19th in the nation of Italy!

“The Bullet” was unable to stop Tim Gajser in race two, however, as the Slovenian sent his many fans into raptures with the second race victory, his first for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP, and his first since this very round last year!  With his beautiful Valentino Rossi tribute livery, he would have done “The Doctor” proud! Tom Vialle endured a tough day at the office to land the second Honda HRC Petronas machine on the podium, but Lucas Coenen continues to hold the Championship lead, despite once again being unable to land on the podium at this venue!

It was a happier day for the other Red Bull KTM Factory Racing twin, Sacha Coenen, who completed a perfect 1-1-1 weekend to claim the fifth Grand Prix victory of his career in fine style, with Triumph Racing Factory Team rider Guillem Farres taking second overall ahead of Kawasaki Racing Team MX2’s French star Mathis Valin.

It was yet another incredible GP at the Pietramurata venue, full of mixed fortunes for all the major players, sending the MXGP season into a four-weekend break with some incredible memories, and the promise of many awe-inspiring races to come!

Determined to show some pace in the morning Warm-Up, Jeffrey Herlings set the top time ahead of reigning World Champion Romain Febvre on his Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP machine. Maxime Renaux was third for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP, but Lucas Coenen didn’t seem too worried as he warmed up in just 22nd place.

Even though Febvre was denied a chance of a fourth straight Qualifying win at Trentino on Saturday with a mechanical issue, he managed to find a good start position, and rocketed out of the gate to claim his second Fox Holeshot Award of the season in race one!  It was briefly a French 1-2 as Tom Vialle held second, with Tim Gajser getting his many fans excited as he started in third!

Mattia Guadagnini had hit the ground in the first corner and had to start from the back on his Venrooy Racing KTM, but he would do well to claim 18th at the finish.  Meanwhile, Lucas Coenen worked quickly from a fourth-place start to get past Vialle in the middle of the circuit, then dived to the inside of Gajser in front of his own Slovenian fans to take second place!  With title rival Herlings outside the top ten off the start, it looked good for Coenen, but suddenly that Trentino voodoo, that seems to affect him at this circuit, struck again as he crashed spectacularly on the exit of the corner after Pit Lane!  He had to restart in 17th position, but a further mistake took him back to 26th at the end of the first lap!

Behind Febvre, Gajser, and Vialle, MXGP rookies Andrea Adamo for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing and Thibault Benistant for Team Honda Motoblouz SR Motul were running well in fourth and fifth. On lap two, as Renaux blocked off Kay de Wolf in a move that put the Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing man on the floor, Herlings popped past them both to suddenly appear in sixth place, but with a mountain to climb as high as any of the surrounding Dolomites.

Oriol Oliver was also in the top ten for Gabriel SS24 KTM Factory Juniors, ahead of Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP’s Latvian rider Pauls Jonass and the third Honda HRC Petronas rider Ruben Fernandez.  Renaux was able to squeeze past his countryman Benistant for sixth place on lap six, but Herlings began to haul in the leaders as he surprised Adamo with a pass at the top of the first uphill of lap seven!

Closing in on Vialle, the two teammates then both caught Gajser, with the Frenchman taking a neat inside line to overtake the Slovenian on a downhill section for second on lap 11. By this time, De Wolf had managed to get up to seventh behind Oliver, and Coenen had worked back up to 13th, but had a gap to close in on the riders in front.

With the fastest lap of the race on the 13th circulation, Herlings suddenly dived past Gajser for third, then pulled a fantastic move on Vialle, jumping to the outside of his teammate into the penultimate corner of lap 14 to take second!  Two laps later, he used the same move to close on Febvre and lunged into the lead through the s-bend before Pit Lane!

Coenen was only able to pass the Red Bull Ducati Factory MXGP Team rider Calvin Vlaanderen to claim 12th at the flag.  Benistant scored his best of the year so far with tenth behind Fernandez, while Oliver took his best MXGP race finish yet in eighth!  Renaux made a move on Adamo to take fifth, with De Wolf behind them in seventh.  Febvre tried to counter-attack but Herlings eased away to win by over five and a half seconds from the reigning Champ, with Vialle third and Gajser fourth.

For the second race, Febvre wasn’t able to get any further in than gate 38, just two in from the far outside. He would emerge from the first full lap in 23rd place, and could only get up to 12th at the flag. Duking it out for the Fox Holeshot Award this time were the old MX2 adversaries De Wolf and Coenen, with the Dutchman claiming the first of his MXGP career!

Gajser, Vialle, Renaux, and Jonass completed the initial top six, with Herlings on the edge of the top ten.  “The Bullet” worked up to seventh at the end of the first full lap, with Fernandez, Oliver, and Tom Koch of the Sarholz KTM Racing Team rounding out the top ten.

Herlings picked off Jonass with his penultimate corner line from race one, then passed Renaux in the middle of the track to claim fifth by the end of lap four.  Meanwhile, De Wolf had lost traction on a steep uphill to allow Coenen to drive past and into the lead, with Gajser also forcing past the Dutchman later that lap on a downhill double jump. 

It took until lap seven for Herlings to overhaul Vialle for fourth, after which the Frenchman got the corner at the furthest end of the circuit badly wrong, dropping it over a ledge and having the bike beat him up in the process! He did well to restart in seventh behind Renaux and Jonass, but he would only be able to repass the Latvian to claim sixth at the flag. 

Fernandez would also pass Jonass to take seventh, with Vlaanderen fighting forward to take ninth ahead of Oliver.  This put the Spaniard into the top ten for the first time in MXGP with ninth overall ahead of Jonass, and just behind Fernandez.

Just a lap after Herlings powered past De Wolf into third over the Monster Energy triple jump, the race turned on its head as Coenen crashed out of the lead on the corner at the top of that hill! The crowd exploded as he did so, because this put Gajser in the lead for the first time on his new factory Monster Energy Yamaha! The Belgian was able to remount in third, nearly losing a place to De Wolf, as Renaux also closed in!  Recomposing himself, Lucas was able to keep third place, putting him seventh in the Grand Prix behind Febvre. Renaux’s two fifth places gave him that spot overall, losing a tie-breaker for fourth with De Wolf.

Herlings closed in on Gajser, and the Slovenian seemed under genuine threat, but with two laps to go the Rossi replica was pulling away, and eventually won by just over four seconds, saluting his massed fans on their usual hillside! As well as breaking the drought for “Tiga” himself, it was also the first race win for Yamaha since Benistant’s MX2 win here last year, and their first in MXGP since Renaux in Argentina 13 months ago.

Vialle’s brave ride gave him his third podium of the season, and keeps him third in the Championship. However, his teammate Herlings took his sixth overall victory at the circuit, which equals Gajser’s record here, and puts the Dutchman just four small points away from the lead of the Championship.

The old guard did strike back on Sunday, but the young guns are far from done! The Battle of the Ages will continue in France on the penultimate weekend of May!

Jeffrey Herlings: “I think the results don’t really show the speed I had this weekend, especially after the crash yesterday and a small issue with the bike. I had to come through the field in both races, from around fifteenth to first in the first one and again pushing hard in the second. I felt like I had the pace, but once you get to the top guys it’s not easy to find a way past, especially on a tight track like this. Overall, a 1-2 on the day is good for the championship and I’m really thankful to the whole team for the work they put in.”

Tim Gajser: “I’m super happy with this weekend, especially coming in with some broken ribs from last week and riding in a lot of pain. I didn’t expect much, so to come away with a race win and a podium means a lot. In the second race I just gave everything I had, even though I was really feeling it physically. A big thank you to the team and the fans, because they really helped me keep pushing all the way to the end.”

Tom Vialle: “I had a pretty big crash in the second race that cost me a lot of time and a few positions, so I really had to work hard to come back. I felt good on the bike all weekend and the starts were strong, which helped a lot. The track was very technical and quite slow, so you had to be creative and adapt all the time so I really enjoyed it. In the end, I’m happy to be on the podium after that crash.”

Lucas Coenen (Red Plate): “Honestly, I didn’t expect too much coming into this weekend because the track doesn’t really suit my style. I had a couple of crashes in the first race and another small mistake in the second, so it wasn’t the easiest weekend. Still, I’m happy to be here, healthy and taking some points, because that’s on your bad days that  you win championship. Now we have a break, and I’ll go back to work and come back stronger.”

MXGP Podium Trentino 2026

Sacha Coenen

The MX2 Warm-Up session saw Qualifying Race runner-up Guillem Farres at the top of the timings, with Mathis Valin looking fast in second ahead of home hero Valerio Lata, who took third for Honda HRC Petronas.

The heavens opened over the Il Ciclamino circuit for the start of MX2 race one, but Qualifying Race winner Sacha Coenen barely felt it as he fired to his third Fox Holeshot Award of the year, and made a mockery of the conditions as he powered away at the front. Valin gave chase initially, and Venrooy KTM Racing’s sole MX2 rider Noel Zanocz was a great third to start with, before being passed quickly by Farres and Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Liam Everts.

Championship leader Simon Längenfelder was way down the order, ending the first full lap in just 12th position for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, and his challengers were looking to capitalise while he struggled with the slippery circuit.  Sadly for Triumph Racing Factory Team rider Camden McLellan, he was even further back in 14th and took until half-distance to pass the German.

Maddi Racing Honda ABF Italia rider Maxime Grau was looking fantastic in fifth place, ahead of the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 machine of Karlis Reisulis. The DRT Kawasaki of Kay Karssemakers held seventh in front of Lata, with Zanocz dropping to ninth at the end of the first full lap.

In the early laps, the only rider moving forward was Ošicka KTM MX Team’s Czech flyer Julius Mikula, who climbed from tenth to seventh by lap six, just after which the reigning Champ lifted himself into the top ten. Both he and McLellan were able to get past Lata, but the German stayed in tenth until the flag, while the South African made one more pass to get to eighth ahead of Karssemakers with a nice move through the “Gajser” corner. 

Mikula advanced still further by passing Grau for sixth, but seventh was still the Frenchman’s best ever GP race finish. Apart from that, the front five of Coenen, Valin, Farres, Everts, and Karlis Reisulis stayed in place through most of the race, although Everts got within a second and a half of the Spaniard at the close.

Coenen followed up his six-second-plus victory with yet another Fox Holeshot in race two, and amazingly Grau and Mikula were right with him in the top three, while Längenfelder was fourth ahead of Everts, until the Husqvarna man got the waves after the triple jump wrong, crashing down the order and holding up the Beddini Racing Ducati Factory MX2 Team rider Ferruccio Zanchi, Karssemakers, and Valin!

Mikula was soon second after a move on Grau, with the Champ followed by Farres and the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 rookie Janis Reisulis, although for once the Latvian didn’t have the pace of his elder brother, who passed him for sixth on lap three after a little back-and-forth action!

Grau started to slip down the order, sadly crashing out of the race on lap ten.  It took Farres and Längenfelder until lap 11 to truly dispose of Mikula, and the Czech rider held on to further improve his best ever result to fourth position, both in this race and the GP!

Sacha was in supreme control, until a small crash on lap 15, at the furthest corner of the circuit, reduced his advantage by around five seconds.  Valin recovered well with several passes to finish seventh in the race, behind the Reisulis brothers and ahead of Karssemakers, another recovery from Everts to ninth, and a disappointed Lata taking tenth.

McLellan fell in a tight right hander to leave him 11th in the race and tenth overall, with Janis Reisulis ninth in the GP behind another solid showing from Karssemakers.

Längenfelder’s first non-podium result of the year became sixth overall with the second race third position, and Everts was equally underwhelmed with seventh on the day.  However, Karlis Reisulis enjoyed his best result of the year with fifth overall behind Mikula, and Valin’s great comeback took him to the overall podium, his first of the season and only the second of his career after the Czech Republic last year!  Farres rose back up to third in the standings, two points ahead of Everts as he took second overall again, but Coenen’s fifth career GP victory puts him just three points behind the defending Champion!

For sure this Championship has many twists and turns ahead of it when we return in five weekend’s time, and riders in both classes will rest, recuperate, and build for the restart in France!  We will miss the action, but it will then come thick and fast for the rest of the year!

Set the date in your diaries, as the season returns on the 23rd and 24th of May at Lacapelle Marival in the south-western heartland of France, with what is sure to be another boisterous crowd ready to bring the noise!  We will see you all there… missing you already!

Sacha Coenen: “I’m really happy to win all three races this weekend, it’s the first time I’ve done that. In the first race I got the FOX Holeshot and managed the gap, and in the second one I felt even better with my flow. I made a mistake near the end and crashed, but I could still control it and take the win. This kind of consistency gives me a lot of confidence.”

Guillem Farres: “It was a solid weekend overall and I’m happy with the points we scored in every race. The track was really difficult, especially for passing, and in the first race I got stuck behind Mathis [Valin] and couldn’t find a way through. In the second one I had a bad start and had to work really hard to come back to second. By the time I got there, the gap was already too big, but we salvaged good points.”

Mathis Valin: “Yesterday was quite difficult with the track being tough for everyone. Today was better with the rain and I felt more comfortable, especially in the first race where I had a good flow and could stay near the front. In the second race I got blocked after the start and had to fight back to seventh. I’m not fully happy with that one, but it’s still a podium and we keep building step by step.”

Simon Längenfelder (Red Plate): “In the second race I started to feel better again after struggling a bit with the setup and traction earlier in the weekend. We made some changes and I could finally push and get back to my normal speed. The first race was really strange because I didn’t feel comfortable at all and couldn’t ride the way I wanted. Still, I had to push hard in the second one to get those important points for the championship.”
