MXGP

LOKET (Czech Republic) – 23rd July 2026 – After three unfamiliar venues in the last four rounds, it’s back to a place that everyone knows well as the FIM Motocross World Championships returns to the undulating valleys of the Loketske Serpentiny for the MXGP of Czech Republic this weekend!

The famous circuit, just up the hill from the beautiful gothic town of Loket in the Karlovy Vary region to the west of the country, has hosted 29 MXGP events since it first joined the calendar in 1995.  The legend that is Joel Smets won that day, and did so three more times, to share the GP win record here with his Belgian contemporary Stefan Everts and latter-day legend Antonio Cairoli, who holds the record for most race wins here with ten.

Of the modern-day exponents, both Romain Febvre and Jeffrey Herlings are in a position to join those legends, having taken three GP victories each, while Jago Geerts has won two MX2 events at this iconic circuit.  The Czech hillsides are renowned for throwing up exciting and unpredictable races, so nothing can be discounted this weekend!

By sheer coincidence, both Championships have emerged from the furious fun of Foxhills with exactly the same points gap at the top – just 11 points separate the leaders from their pursuers in each series!

Lucas Coenen still holds the red plate in MXGP for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, but after a crash in the Qualifying Race in the UK, he was unable to finish either race on Sunday.  His main chaser, five-time World Champion Jeffrey Herlings, took full advantage to claim the GP victory for Honda HRC Petronas, and reduced the gap by 57 points to trail the Belgian by that 11-point margin.  Reigning Champion Romain Febvre is another 59 behind, in third place for Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP. Coenen won overall for the first time here last year, but there are still question marks over his fitness and his two chasers both know Loket extremely well.

Spaniard Guillem Farres has had an incredible run of three straight GP victories, going unbeaten in the Sunday GP races over the same period, and now wears the red plate for the first time in his career on his Triumph Racing Factory Team machine! Sacha Coenen battled through the pain of a recently-repaired collarbone at Foxhills, but is now 11 points behind Farres.  His fellow Red Bull KTM Factory Racing pilot Simon Längenfelder has scored podium results in the last two rounds, and heads to Loket as the only rider in the MX2 field to have won a GP there!

As has been the case for the last few seasons at Loket, the weekend’s action will see three EMX Champions crowned over a hectic schedule! 

The EMX2T European Championship will hold its solitary round for lovers of the premix machines, and the MRT Racing Team Beta squad have put both of their EMX250 regulars, Brando Rispoli and Alexis Fueri, into the fray, although Latvian flier Jekabs Kubulins could be a threat for JK Racing Yamaha. They will all have to contend with reigning EMX2t Champion and local Czech hero Vaclav Kovar on his SD Install KTM by VK101!

The youth classes of EMX85 and EMX65 will also be competing in the finals for their Championships after reaching this event through regional qualifying events. Germany’s Luca Nierychlo won his EMX85 regional qualifier but got hurt at the World Junior Championships, so the semi-final in Estonia was headed by the Latvian twins Martins and Patriks Cirulis, with Brit Harry Dale in third. The top three from Bulgaria were all French, with Tim Lopes taking the trophy from Mathys Agullo and Liam Morette!

The Estonian Semi-Finals in EMX65 were won by British rider Jack Waters on his JL Cox Motorsport KTM, ahead of Filip Juszczyk from Poland and Bruno Geitus from Latvia. The other Semi-Final at the old GP track of Sevlievo in Bulgaria was won by Italian Daniel Corda ahead of Spaniard Alonso Tribaldos Molina and Bulgarian Georgi Iliev.

The weekend will be full of thrills and spills for riders old and young at Loket this weekend!

Jeffrey Herlings

The biggest question in MXGP is whether or not Lucas Coenen will be able to line up, after last being seen limping off circuit at Foxhills. The Belgian won this GP last year and also scored an MX2 podium here in 2024. We keep our fingers crossed that the teenager can defend his series lead.

Jeffrey Herlings has missed an amazing eight GPs at Loket through injury, but still won three of the seven he has actually been able to enter! His last victory here was in 2018, so he will certainly be after equalling that record of four Loket wins this weekend. However, Romain Febvre, without a GP win with the number one plate, and at the only track where he has won more than twice, will be a strong contender as he looks to end his final year with Kawasaki in a strong fashion.  The Frenchman took his first ever Qualifying Race win here back in 2014, when in the MX2 class.

Tim Gajser ended a six-GP podium drought in England, and sits fourth for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP. He won his last GP at Loket in 2024, his first success here after five previous podium appearances. The Slovenian pulled away last weekend from his teammate Maxime Renaux, who is still fifth in the series, and the Frenchman won a race here in 2022 but only has a best of second overall around the Serpentiny!

Honda HRC Petronas rider Ruben Fernandez took his first Qualifying Race win of the year at Foxhills, which helped him jump up to sixth in the series. He has only raced at Loket four times, with a best of fourth overall last season. Andrea Adamo is three points behind the Spaniard, and has had rough times at Loket, but he won his first ever GP race and Qualifying Race here in 2023. How will the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing ace fare in his Czech MXGP debut?

Tom Vialle appears to be building his speed back up, although crashes plagued the Honda HRC Petronas man in England, and he is eighth in the series as he returns to Loket, where he had a best of fifth overall in his second MX2 title year of 2022.

The whole Paddock will be happy to see the return of Kay de Wolf this weekend, as the Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing pilot has been absent since getting hurt at the MXGP of Italy, and the 2024 MX2 Czech GP winner is tied on points with Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP’s Pauls Jonass for ninth in the series, although the Latvian sustained a concussion in England and won’t be at Loket. We wish him a speedy return, as Calvin Vlaanderen needs 29 points to get into the top ten for Red Bull Ducati Factory MX Team, at a circuit where he has taken a race win in each class, earlier in his career.

Previous Loket GP winners Jeremy Seewer and Jago Geerts enjoyed season-high races at Foxhills, so look to be moving into some form.  The Belgian, who won here in MX2 in 2022 and ’23, finally got his MRT Racing Team Beta into the top ten in race two last week, while the Swiss rider, the Czech MXGP winner in 2022, made a good return to action for Venrooy KTM Racing with sixth overall.

The 450s are always a handful on the slick hardpack of the Czech hillsides, and this promises to be another awesome GP as the season hits round thirteen – surely someone will get lucky!

MX2 Start Loket 2025

Guillem Farres has been immaculate over the last three GPs, bringing his Sunday race win tally to 11 for the year, although he has only once won the Qualifying Race, that one coming in Portugal.  His sole GP at Loket, last year, only yielded a sixth-place finish, but his factory Triumph will proudly display the red plate for the first time this weekend and he will want to do it proud as the fourth rider to wear it in MX2 this season!

Sacha Coenen will have been in physiotherapy sessions all week long in order to recover from the battering he gave his damaged right collarbone in England, but the tough little Belgian is a fighter and will be after his first podium result in Czechia after narrowly missing the third step last year.

Simon Längenfelder has recovered some form, including the last two Qualifying Race wins, but still lies 42 points off the lead, and 31 away from Sacha.  The German, who enjoys the shortest journey of the season from his home town this weekend, won at Loket last year to extend his podium streak here to four in a row, and he will need every last drop of speed to bring Farres’ winning streak to an end!

The second Triumph Racing Factory Team rider Camden McLellan won the EMX85 final here in 2018, ahead of Kay de Wolf and Liam Everts, but the South African has had minimal success here since, with a best of fifth overall in 2023.  With 62 points to make up on his teammate, his title chances need a turnaround to become realistic again.

Everts is another one who has yet to climb the podium in Czechia, but the Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing seems to be battling through his early season injuries to be a top three contender again, and fifth in the series seems to be a dead cert. Next along is the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 rookie Janis Reisulis, who has only raced once at Loket, in the 2018 EMX65 final! He was seventh that day, but is certainly a podium contender now.  

Mathis Valin was not able to return to racing at Foxhills, and is still questionable for Kawasaki Racing Team MX2 at the track where he took his first career podium and Qualifying Race win last season. Karlis Reisulis is only 16 points behind him for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2, and looking to improve on his best of eighth in the Czech Republic. Honda HRC Petronas’ young Italian Valerio Lata took a fine second to Valin last year’s Qualifying Race, but struggled to tenth on GP day, and is still ninth in this year’s standings.  

The most loudly-supported rider of the whole weekend will certainly be Julius Mikula, who scored another top five overall in the UK to move into the Championship top ten as the highest privateer for Osička Racing KTM!  The first Czech challenger for many years will receive great support, and his seventh in Qualifying last season was his best up to that point, although he has raised his standards since.  The young Czech will be dreaming of a podium, and may well have the speed to get himself there!

The MXGP of Czech Republic is one of the most picturesque venues on the entire calendar, but the beauty masks the brutality of the fast and undulating hardpack Czech dirt! Come and join us for this jewel in the crown of MXGP as two tense Championships head towards the final quarter of the season!

The reigning MXGP World Champion will ride the Ducati Desmo450 MX for the next two seasons, continuing his incredible career.

Ducati Corse Off-Road is pleased to announce that Romain Febvre will ride for the Red Bull Ducati Factory MXGP Team for the next two seasons. Born in Épinal (France) on 31^st December 1991, Febvre, who made his debut in the FIM MX2 Motocross World Championship in 2012, before moving up to the premier class in 2015, will compete in the 2027 and 2028 championships in the official Ducati team managed by Louis Vosters.

The 34-year-old champion from France has two MXGP world titles (2015 and 2025) and two second places in 2021 and 2023 to his name, as well as a third place in the MX2 world championship standings in 2014. Febvre has also achieved 26 Grand Prix victories, 97 podiums and four successes at the FIM Motocross of Nations with the French National Team (2015, 2016, 2017, 2023).

After seven seasons of fruitful cooperation, Romain Febvre and the Kawasaki Racing Team will end their association at the culmination of the 2026 season. With an impressive podium tally so far in 2026, Romain and the team are ready to end their collaboration on a high note following the coming rounds of the FIM Motocross World Championship.

Since he joined Kawasaki in 2020, Romain has achieved formidable results with a gold medal for winning the MXGP World Championship in 2025 and two Silver medals in 2021 and 2023.
Having won thirteen MXGP rounds and twenty eight motos, he climbed onto the podium for the fifty-fifth time in Kawasaki colours during the recent GP in Great Britain aboard the factory KX450-SR.
 
Kawasaki extends their sincere gratitude to the French rider for his impressive collaboration, one of the longest associations ever between the company and a rider.
 
Romain Febvre: “It’s now time in a few months to part ways with Kawasaki after so many seasons in green, and, of course, a lot of memories, a lot of good results, and a lot of achievements together.
A long part of my career will stay forever with Kawasaki, we have been together during seven years, that’s a lot in a rider’s career. We reached our ultimate goal, which was the world title last year, after fighting for the title in 2021 – my first season with Kawasaki – and 2023.
I always had great people around me since I signed with Kawasaki. We developed a new bike in 2023 and just missed the title for a few points. Unfortunately in 2024 I sustained an injury but we finally got the title.
This year we fight again for podiums, of course the goal is to win again a GP against strong opponents but we are here and my motivation is always the same, to race for the best!
I want to thank everyone who worked with me since day one, the former KRT team of Thierry Chizat Suzzoni and the new KRT team with Antti Pyrhonen, and of course Japan who trusted me and always welcomed me with a positive attitude.
Next year I will open another chapter of my career, I will enter another challenge, and that’s what I need at my age to perform. But the season is not finished, and until the last race I will of course give my best”
 
Antti Pyrhonen (KRT Team Manager): “It has been a great privilege to work alongside one of the most successful riders of last decade. A huge commitment from Romain, from Kawasaki and from all the KRT team, which finally culminated in the MXGP World Title.
Romain, Thank YOU for these years and for your unyielding mentality, memories and achievements which will last forever. Let’s go for it until the end – everything is possible.
Merci, Antti “
 
Steve Guttridge (KME Race Planning Manager): "Romain has been an inspiration inside our Kawasaki Racing Team organisation. Season after season - always putting in 100% effort into his job which ultimately was to fight for the MXGP World Championship with Kawasaki.
He achieved the ultimate glory last season for which all at Kawasaki and our loyal Team Green fans will be eternally grateful for.
We would like to sincerely wish Romain the very best for his next step in his career and know well that his full KRT focus is to wholeheartedly fight to defend the title as Champion in MXGP again with Kawasaki this season!”

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 22nd July 2026 – The 13th round of the 2026 FIM Motocross World Championship heads to one of the sport's most iconic venues as the MXGP of Czech Republic returns to the legendary Loket circuit on 25-26 July. Following an exciting weekend at the Monster Energy MXGP of Great Britain, the championship now arrives in the heart of Europe for another spectacular event, bringing together an impressive 244 riders across five championship classes.

The historic Loket circuit, nestled among the forests of western Czech Republic, has long been regarded as one of the crown jewels of the FIM Motocross World Championship calendar. Its natural hillside layout, demanding terrain and passionate fans have created countless memorable moments over the years, making it a favourite destination for both riders and spectators alike.

While the world's best riders will once again battle for crucial championship points in the premier MXGP and MX2 classes, the weekend will also welcome the stars of tomorrow with three European Championship categories joining the programme. Riders competing in EMX65, EMX85 and EMX2T will all line up in Loket, showcasing the depth of motocross talent from across Europe. In total, 244 riders feature on the official entry lists for the weekend, underlining the popularity of the Czech venue and the importance of this event within both the World Championship and European Championship calendars. Find All Entry Lists Here.

As the 2026 season enters its decisive stages, every point becomes increasingly valuable in the MXGP and MX2 title races, while the European Championship competitors will be eager to shine on one of motocross' most prestigious circuits.

The title fights have also been reignited. In MXGP, Lucas Coenen's lead over Jeffrey Herlings has been cut to just 11 points after the Honda rider swept both motos in Great Britain, while in MX2, Guillem Farres has taken over the red plate on the back of three consecutive Grand Prix double-race wins and now holds an identical 11-point advantage over his closest challenger Sacha Coenen heading into Loket. With both championships separated by the same razor-thin margin, and Loket marking the first round of the rest of these series, the destiny of two world titles will be shaped over the remainder of the season starting this weekend.

Fans can follow every race live on MXGP-TV this weekend, as the world's fastest riders take on the mythical Loket circuit with both the MXGP and MX2 championships on the line.

FOXHILLS (Great Britain), 20th July 2026 – The iconic Foxhills Moto Parc was resurrected this weekend for its return to the FIM Motocross World Championship calendar, and the awesome atmosphere that was last seen 26 years ago was back in all its glory as the main valley filled up with fans and the steep climbs and drops challenged the riders to their limit!

The track preparation, always a key issue at a venue with a fundamentally hardpack clay base, was absolutely on-point and provided some truly fantastic racing to raise the volume in the valley even further! It was a phenomenal return to action for the circuit itself and the fans were also back to enjoy the experience in their thousands!

Both classes saw massive changes in their Championship pictures, unfortunately almost directly as a result of problems for the incumbent red plate holders.

At the twelfth round of the season, Jeffrey Herlings made it a 50% GP win record for himself with the Honda HRC Petronas team by taking his sixth GP win, in almost unique fashion for him with two consecutive Fox Holeshot Awards helping him on his way! Defending World Champion Romain Febvre gave chase all day long to claim second for Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP, while Tim Gajser broke his three-month podium drought with third overall for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP.

In MX2, Spaniard Guillem Farres claimed his third consecutive GP victory for the Triumph Racing Factory Team, with another perfect Sunday score, while Simon Längenfelder battled hard for second overall on his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing machine, ahead of the second factory Triumph of Camden McLellan.

Both of the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing twins Lucas Coenen and Sacha Coenen battled injury issues, and Lucas saw his MXGP series lead cut drastically to 11 points, while Sacha lost the MX2 red plate to Farres despite struggling through the pain of a collarbone injury. Everything looks massively different as we head to the MXGP of Czech Republic next weekend!

Tim Gajser confirmed his pace from Saturday to top the table in the morning Warm-Up, by just 24 hundredths from Jeffrey Herlings. Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP’s Pauls Jonass took the third fastest time.

It was “The Bullet” that shot to the lead in race one to claim just his second Fox Holeshot of the season, just out-dragging his Honda HRC Petronas teammate Tom Vialle, although Gajser tucked into second down the next jump-filled straight of the circuit. Romain Febvre was fourth ahead of the TEM JP253 KTM of Jan Pancar, although the third Honda HRC Petronas machine of Ruben Fernandez would squeeze into the top five by the end of the first full lap! Jeremy Seewer restarted his season with Venrooy KTM Racing in seventh place, ahead of the second Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP of Maxime Renaux.

Lucas Coenen, having started from the extreme outside of the gate after not finishing the Qualifying Race, was initially just inside the top ten, battling with his fellow Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider Andrea Adamo, but he clearly was not his usual self.  Dropping to twelfth on the following lap, he then retired from the race in obvious physical discomfort.

Adamo himself did make progress, and lifted himself to sixth by lap four, running ahead of the non-factory KTMs of Pancar and Seewer.  The Slovenian and the Swiss would finish seventh and eighth, with Seewer getting there with a last lap pass on Team Honda Motoblouz SR Motul’s Norwegian Kevin Horgmo. Gabriel SS24 KTM rider Oriol Oliver had an up and down race to take tenth on the final lap from wildcard British rider Taylor Hammal on the Dixon Racing Team Kawasaki, who still took a credible eighth in his first MXGP class Sunday race!

Up front, Gajser kept hounding Herlings, but could not break the Dutchman. Vialle was also holding Febvre at bay, but he suffered a massive crash as he got cross-rutted and slammed into the face of a jump on lap 14!  With a seriously twisted bike, the Frenchman limped home to 14th at the flag. Fernandez had lost fifth to Adamo with a mistake, but he fought back past along the main valley on lap 13, and that became fourth, behind Febvre, with Vialle’s crash.

Herlings’ win was enough to cut Coenen’s points lead to 36 before race two, with the Belgian’s very participation in question for race two.

For the first time in many years, Herlings made it two Fox Holeshot Awards in one day as he fired into the lead of race two, with Vialle being passed almost instantly by Gajser and then Febvre who chased after “The Bullet” from the start. Seewer was also initially in the top five, but he was also overhauled by Fernandez and Adamo, as well as by Jonass, to sit eighth at the end of the first full lap. Isak Gifting also ran in the top ten on his return to racing for JK Racing Yamaha.

Coenen had again attempted to race, but pulled up on lap four in obvious pain, and limped off the bike. There would be no points from Foxhills for the Belgian, and we await news of his condition while wishing him the very best of health.

There was sadly a bad crash for Jonass on one of the steepest downhill sections, exiting the race from seventh, although he was fortunately diagnosed with little more than bruising after the race. Seewer was therefore promoted to seventh, good enough for sixth overall the day after his 32nd birthday.  Horgmo claimed eighth in the race for seventh overall, while Jago Geerts scored his best result of the season for MRT Racing Team Beta with a fine ninth, while Brent van Doninck rounded out the top ten for Fantic Factory Racing MXGP.

Vialle held steady to take sixth in race two, good enough for tenth overall behind Renaux in ninth and Pancar in eighth.  The top five in race two stayed set for most of the race, but Gajser and Febvre continued to press Herlings for the lead to keep the fans on their feet throughout! On lap 11 Gajser tipped over in a corner at the top of one of the hills, losing second to Febvre in a fall that put him third overall for sure.  Fernandez and Adamo held on for fourth and fifth in both race two and the overall, meaning that the Spaniard passed the Italian for sixth in the Championship over the course of the weekend.

Febvre still got close to the front, but Herlings would not budge, claiming his 118th career Grand Prix victory with a perfect 1-1 day, his fifth in the UK. It closes him to within 11 points of Coenen in their battle for the Championship. 

The Belgian has only explained things to the extent of saying that he hurt his leg, but will try again in Loket, where he won in MXGP last year.  This could lead to a fascinating end to the season!

Jeffrey Herlings: "Another perfect weekend, two holeshots and I led every single lap. But I don't like gaining fifty points this way. My thoughts go out to Lucas; even though we're rivals, you never want to gain points like this, it's a shame, and I'd rather he'd just broken his bike than hurt himself. I hope he's back healthy as soon as possible and I'm looking forward to more good battles with him. Coming back to my day though, I'm super pumped about how I rode — this one felt like a little gift to myself. One-one, two holeshots, the timing couldn't have been better from a personal point of view. Looking forward to Loket. Big thanks to Honda HRC Petronas for the great job they've done. Seven rounds to go."

Romain Febvre: "I feel good at the moment, and like I say, I'm improving every weekend. I'm getting closer to a race win now, that's what I'm looking for. It's good, what we've been working on during the week with the bike and everything, now we can run on the front with the guys, so that's really important. Next GP is Loket, a track I like, and then Lommel after that, so we'll see. But I'm feeling good at the moment, so happy to finish second overall this weekend."

Tim Gajser: "It's good to be back on the podium. Yesterday was a difficult day, but today I felt way better  I felt good from the beginning. First race, solid start, I was there, the speed was there, I was putting pressure on Jeffrey, but he didn't make any mistake, and it wasn't easy to pass, so I finished second. Second race was kind of the same, I was second behind him, putting on pressure, and then I made a mistake at the top. I went from second to third and finished the race like that, so it's a bit of a bummer, that crash in the second race. But overall the speed is there, and we're going to keep working hard. Thank you to the team and everybody around me."

Guillem Farres 

After only just losing the Qualifying Race with a late slip-up, Guillem Farres re-asserted his authority with the fastest time in the morning Warm-Up.  Valerio Lata took the next best time for Honda HRC Petronas, with Camden McLellan taking third.

Farres instantly made life easier for himself with the Fox Holeshot Award in race one, with Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Liam Everts in second ahead of Längenfelder. Janis Reisulis was fourth for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2, just edging past Beddini Racing Ducati Factory MX2 Team’s sole MX2 rider Ferruccio Zanchi.  Zanchi engaged in a pitched battle with the Osička KTM of Julius Mikula for sixth place, while Championship leader Sacha Coenen crashed awkwardly behind them, fortunately on the stronger shoulder, dropping to 14th spot on lap five for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing.

McLellan quickly worked past Mikula and Zanchi, but took until lap four to get past Janis Reisulis in a corner at the bottom of a hill.  Lata held eighth ahead of the Dixon Racing Kawasaki of Kay Karssemakers and the S/B Racing KTM of Jens Walvoort.

Roughly halfway through the race, Längenfelder closed in on Farres, and the pair battled back and forth for almost an entire lap, thrilling the packed valley of fans! The Spaniard dug in and picked up his pace, ultimately taking the race victory with a little point back to his rival over the finish line jump!

Everts held off McLellan on their battle for third, with Janis Reisulis fifth ahead of Mikula. Sadly, Zanchi suffered a scary crash on the biggest downhill of the track, and it was a relief to see him walk off. We understand he has a back injury, but we wish him well. 

Lata inherited seventh as a result, with Karlis Reisulis eighth for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2.  Walvoort took ninth while Coenen recovered for tenth.

Längenfelder, took his fourth Fox Holeshot Award of the season, and fortieth of his career, in race two! Farres was instantly with him, while Coenen was third, with Everts carving ahead of the Maddi Racing Honda ABF Italia of Maxime Grau to take fourth in the second corner!

Längenfelder tipped over in exactly the same corner as where Farres crashed on Saturday, and this time the Spaniard was the benefactor, taking the lead and looking untroubled. Coenen was briefly second, but slid sideways on an uphill and allowed Simon back past him.

McLellan passed Janis Reisulis, just as in race one, to climb to fifth, with Karssemakers seventh ahead of Karlis Reisulis, Walvoort, and Lata. 

Nobody was catching Farres this time, and Längenfelder was solid in second. Everts took a tumble in a left-hand corner, just losing one position to McLellan, which decided the podium in the favour of the South African.

Coenen was able to hang on this time to fifth position, while Karlis Reisulis adopted the sixth place abandoned by his brother and held it to the flag, with Mikula seventh, Janis Reisulis eighth, Lata ninth, and Grau, having dropped the bike following his initial fast start, recovering to tenth place.

Mikula’s consistency took him to his second top five overall finish of the year, while Janis edged Karlis for sixth overall in the battle of the brothers! Coenen took eighth overall ahead of Lata and Grau, but of course the big news for the Belgian was that his Championship lead was lost. 

Farres has taken seven Sunday race wins from the last eight, and looks in great shape with an 11-point advantage over Coenen as we head to Loket in the Czech Republic!  Längenfelder’s resurgence has seen him pull a 20-point gap over McLellan for third.

With both Championship battles taking major turns, the Monster Energy MXGP of Great Britain made as much of an impression on the series as it did on the banks of excited British Motocross fans!  In one stunning weekend, this fantastic Foxhills venue restored its reputation as one of the very best in the world, and was a credit to all who had helped to get it there!  See you here next year, and do not be missing Loket next weekend!

Guillem Farres: "It was a nice ride. He made a mistake in the opening laps and I took advantage, and then we went back and forth for a bit. Happy that things are going the right way, the starts are helping, and hopefully we keep it that way."

Simon Langenfelder: "What a crash, that was a stupid one, I must say. But I kept him on his toes, the speed was good, I just dropped off a bit at the end. The track was sketchy, but I'm super happy to take home another trophy, those are always really cool in England. I think that's my fourth now, it's really, really big."

Camden McLellan: "It's been a good weekend, good to get back on the box. I was happy with my ride in the second race, I was moving forward at the end. My starts just weren't there today, though I was happy with my start yesterday, so one of three was good,  I'll take the positives and keep working. It was a nice push with Liam at the end, I think we kept Simon and Guillem honest. If I can get that pace from the beginning and be in the top five, the first one will be good. Big respect to Sasha too, he fought really hard out there. Great for Guillem, and really happy. Thank you."
