MXGP

Montevarchi (Italy) – 17th June 2026 – After a week away, the 2026 FIM Motocross World Championships resume this weekend for round nine, the first of another three-weekend run of events, commencing with the MXGP of Italy at the Crossdromo Miravalle circuit at Montevarchi!  The venue is returning to the calendar for the first time since 2006, and with some major revisions to bring it up to modern MXGP standards, it will be a new challenge for all of the MXGP elite as we approach the halfway point of the series!

This will be the eighth MXGP event to be held at Montevarchi (pronounced Montay-var-KEE), with the first one taking place in 1980, a 125cc GP won by local legend Michele Rinaldi.  Past winners include such Champions as David Thorpe, Donny Schmit, and Stefan Everts, who won four GPs across three visits to the Tuscan circuit.  Yes, he won two in one day in 2003! Twenty years ago at this venue, which is around 50km south of the historic city of Florence, Everts became the most recent GP winner at Montevarchi in his final year of racing in MX1, while David Philippaerts became only the second Italian to win here, in the MX2 class.

Round nine in MXGP sees the tearaway twins, Lucas and Sacha Coenen, both holding the red plates for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, after dazzling the world with their results at the AMA Pro Motocross event at Thunder Valley in Colorado.  With both brothers winning on Italian soil earlier this year, they will be looking to extend their Championship leads further at Montevarchi!

In MXGP, five-time World Champion Jeffrey Herlings continues to give chase for Honda HRC Petronas after a successful event in the UK during the weekend off, and he is 62 points behind Lucas after some recent technical issues.  Defending Champion Romain Febvre lies in third place for Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP, as the veteran Frenchman lines up for his 40^th GP in Italy this weekend!  Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Andrea Adamo, still the most recent GP winner from Italy, is the top home rider in the standings in eighth place.

Reigning MX2 World Champion Simon Längenfelder is also fighting to chase a Coenen in the points standings, and will look to take advantage of a run of hard-pack circuits to claw back the 37-point gap to the Belgian.  The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing riders will both have to watch out for Spaniard Guillem Farres of the Triumph Factory Racing Team, who is just three points shy of the Champ in third place overall.  Local ace Ferruccio Zanchi is very much on home soil for the Beddini Racing Ducati Factory MX2 Team, although Valerio Lata is the top Italian rider in the points for Honda HRC Petronas.

The EMX250 European Championship also returns for its seventh round, heading into the second half of its season as the Venum BUD Racing Kawasaki pairing of Francisco Garcia from Spain and Jake Cannon from Australia still dominate the series. Garcia returned to winning ways in Latvia to build a 53-point lead, meaning he will keep the red plate no matter what happens this weekend. Danish rider Nicolai Skovbjerg, third in the Championship, makes his EMX debut for the SixtySeven Racing Team this weekend, while local ace and reigning EMX125 Champion Nicolo Alvisi is the top Italian in EMX250 after his podium in Germany for Maddii Racing Team Honda, whose workshop is almost walking distance from the circuit here!

The return to Montevarchi should make for an unpredictable MXGP weekend with the Italian fans sure to make the most of another chance to create an awesome atmosphere for their heroes!

Andrea Adamo

Lucas Coenen has proved himself to be one of the world’s hottest Motocross talents with five GP race wins from the last six, as well as with his exploits in America, so comes into Montevarchi on a roll of great form and with a healthy 62-point lead in the Championship.  However, he has yet to taste much success on Italian hard-pack, with his GP win at Riola Sardo in April the only one to his name in this country. 

In contrast, Jeffrey Herlings has won more GPs in Italy than in any other nation, with 19 GP wins across 33 events held here, including the most recent one at Trentino this April.  He has confessed that he is happier with his new Honda setup on hard-pack circuits, and he needs to start clawing the points back to give himself a hope of a sixth world title.  Despite the depth of talent in MXGP this year, the Belgian and the Dutchman have so far had the lion’s share of success in 2026.

Romain Febvre starts a Grand Prix on Italian soil for the 40^th time, and he’s currently on a 10% success rate with four victories, including his famous “bent-handlebar” fightback at Maggiora in 2015!  Tim Gajser has an even better success rate in Italy, with 12 victories across 46 events in total, and even took his only race win so far for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP at Trentino.  He should be able to count on some support from more travelling Slovenian fans!

After missing the opening round of the season, Kay de Wolf has advanced relentlessly up the Championship table, and is now fifth for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing, just 21 points behind Gajser! His only Italian success has come in the sands of Sardegna, but with typical quick learning and a further week for recovery, he could be a real force at Montevarchi.  The race might hold more promise for Maxime Renaux, who took his first career GP win on the similar surface of Faenza and needs a good result to bounce back for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP after his rough Latvian GP.

Honda HRC Petronas rider Ruben Fernandez has scored four podiums in 30 GPs in Italy, but has the smallest points gap to defend in the top ten, over home hero Andrea Adamo, who is only six points out from seventh position for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. The former MX2 World Champion has won two GPs, including his first one ever, on Italian hard-pack.

Honda HRC Petronas could be back to full strength at Montevarchi with the return of Tom Vialle, who is still ninth in the Championship despite missing the last two GPs, and has won six times in Italy.  Moving into tenth after his home GP last time out was Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP’s Pauls Jonass, meaning that all eight World Champions in the class are now in the top ten!  The others are Fernandez and, oh yes, the series leader Coenen!

Fighting to get back into that top ten will be the popular Italian Alberto Forato, who will sport a special home GP livery for Fantic Factory Racing MXGP and show it off on the official GoPro Lap around the circuit!  His best career moment yet came on Italian soil, with his Qualifying Race win at Maggiora in 2023, so he could be one to watch if it rains!

Sadly, home riders Andrea Bonacorsi and Mattia Guadagnini will not be on track due to injuries, and we wish them both all the best in their recovery.

The biggest question of all though, is who can beat Lucas Coenen?  Will Jeffrey be able to replicate those hard-pack triumphs from Trentino and France and take his 20^th win in this country? Or will there be another challenger? Join us to find out!

MX2 Start Andalucia 2026

After taking a race victory last weekend in his American Pro Motocross debut, Sacha Coenen returns to the MX2 World Championship with the series leader’s red plate, searching for his third GP win on Italian ground, which of course is home for the De Carli side of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing.  He holds a 37-point lead over Simon Längenfelder, whose last four GPs have all ended off the podium.  The German needs to capitalise on this run of hard-pack circuits if he is to successfully defend his title.

The two Red Bull KTMs are being chased by the Triumph Racing Factory Team pairing of Guillem Farres and Camden McLellan, with the Spaniard only three points behind the Champion and keen to repeat his podium result from Trentino this year. The South African is building up towards his home GP and would love to go there with some momentum, and let’s not forget his first ever GP race win came on similar ground at Arco in 2025.

Liam Everts is hoping to fight back for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing after a troubled start to the year, and the weekend off will have helped his recovery from a foot injury. Mathis Valin is only six points behind the Belgian, however, and on a career-best run of four straight GP podium results, which started in Trentino!  The Kawasaki Racing Team MX2 lone wolf is always a force on this sort of ground.

Behind the Frenchman come the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 brothers Janis Reisulis and the elder Karlis, who fought back into eighth in the series after just missing the podium in his home GP.  They have both fared well in EMX races in Italy and can’t be counted out of the reckoning for a first Yamaha podium of the year! Everyone will have to watch for Valerio Lata, however, who is determined to score well at the home GP for both himself and his Honda HRC Petronas team! He has yet to replicate his four EMX wins on home ground, but he could spring a surprise at Montevarchi!

Rounding out the top ten is Kay Karssemakers, the top non-factory rider in the class for Dixon Racing Kawasaki, who will be hoping to improve on his best results on a hard surface, while behind him in the series are Maxime Grau, whose Maddii Racing Honda ABF Italia squad are based just a few kilometres from the circuit, and Ferruccio Zanchi, who hails from nearby Florence and will have a heap of local support onboard his equally Italian factory Beddini Ducati machine! 

The Italian fans always bring the noise, and this unfamiliar should provide a spectacular occasion in the Tuscan hillsides!  Make sure you tune in for round nine of the FIM Motocross World Championships!

The Behind The Gate documentary series covered the MXGP of France with a focus on the Team Honda Motoblouz SR Motul, as Episode Seven, “Back to Business”, was intended to celebrate the return of the series after the five-week break in the schedule since the MXGP of Trentino.  We invited the team’s riders Thibault Benistant and Kevin Horgmo to take a look around the Château de Lacapelle-Marival, close to the circuit, for a little content filming away from the Paddock itself.

Little did we know that Thibault was about to suffer a life-changing incident in the GP itself, and everybody in the Paddock would feel the punch in the guts at the news of his injuries, and the realisation that we would never see his innate style and speed on a motorcycle again.

As Thibault’s teammate, training partner, and friend, Kevin Horgmo struggled to race on after the incident, but typically did all he could for the team with a gritty ninth in race two, one of his best results of the season and a real testament to his mental strength.  This put the Norwegian into 14^th in the Championship standings, battling with Oriol Oliver of the Gabriel SS24 KTM team to be the top non-factory racer in the MXGP class.

After the team agreed that we could show some footage of Thibault in the production of Episode Seven, we spoke to Kevin before the Liqui Moly MXGP of Germany about his return from injury to race this season, the events of France, and his hopes for the season ahead.  Some of the interview made it into the episode itself, but here is the full version of the chat with the likeable man from the north.

BTG (Cameraman): I’ve been looking forward to this, because I’ve watched your vlogs for years, they’ve really inspired me, to be honest!

KH: Yeah, I started in 2017 because I got on the [EMX125] podium in Kegums, for the first or second race of the year, I think. Yeah, and then Lisa [Leyland] was interviewing me and I couldn't get a word out. Like, I was struggling to talk so much, so I was like, I need to get comfortable in front of the camera somehow. So then I started like making these vlogs and that. It just continued.

BTG: Nice one, it inspired our cameraman, and now he’s filming you, it’s come full circle! Just before we talk about the race in France, tell us what happened for you during the break, like what you had going on for yourself in the time between Trentino and France, how you made use of the time, and how are you, health-wise, getting ready for France?

KH: Yeah, so in “the break”, it wasn't much of a break for me. We still had three or four French Championships, and yeah, I started to feel really good on the bike, and we made some changes, which was very positive, but then before the last French Championship I twisted my ankle, so I had a big pain for the French Championship race there. I twisted it on Thursday and could barely walk on it, and then did the French Championship. But I got through it, and then heading into last weekend in Lacapelle Marival, I was also slightly injured there. I had quite a lot of pain when I put the foot down in the ground and stuff, but I also got through that weekend. I would say the break was positive for us as we could gather our thoughts a bit. And make some good adjustments on the bike.

BTG: Obviously, coming to France, you had such a good result in the Qualifying Race at Ernée, your last GP in France, last year. So, obviously, it's a different circuit and different set of conditions and that sort of thing, but are you taking that positive energy in, or are you kind of annoyed at what happened after the Qualifying Race last year? What are your thoughts in that sort of area?

KH: Yeah, mentally it's a bit hard, that last year I had such a good season going, and then I got injured at the French GP. So, it was like kind of bittersweet going back to it, but I'm so used to racing in France, it didn't really affect me that much. For sure, I'm still thinking about it, like looking back to how great the results were last year. It's a bit of a shame I'm not really there yet this year, but I'm definitely working towards it.

BTG: Yeah, because you were like really pushing Febvre, obviously in his Championship year, so is that like something that kind of burns the motivation when you're training, when you're practicing, doing all the grind? Is that what you're kind of aiming for? Is that in your head a lot?  

KH:  For sure, I want to come back to that level. I still feel like I'm a little bit away from that still. After my injury, obviously, I missed a lot of races last year, and it's been a process during the winter to get the shoulder back to full strength, but yeah, I know that I'm capable of it from the races last year. So definitely, it's motivating me to get back to it, but at the same time, the road is a little bit longer than I thought. I thought I would be back in the mix a bit earlier this season, but still I'm struggling a bit, and I feel like I fall into that middle ground between the factory riders and the privateer riders. And that's not where I want to be. I want to definitely mix it up with the top guys, but looking back to last year, it's possible and I know it.

BTG: We didn't really get a chance to talk to you last year, of course, and we've been asking a lot of riders similar questions, just to get more on the story behind you. But the number 24, where did that come from? Why do you run it, and what does it mean to you?

KH: Yeah, it doesn't really mean much to me, the 24. It was just like a cool number growing up. One of my heroes from back home, like the local hero, Nikolai Lian, he was riding 24, the fast guy that was like five years older than me. He had 24, so I also stole it, and I've been running it ever since. I really like how it looks and kind of made it into my own number. I think he never rode outside of Norway, maybe. A local legend! It's cool because we still joke about it, we are still friends to this day. So, it's cool to have this number with a little bit of a meaning, but not that much of a special one.

BTG: Talking about France, in the Qualifying Race, you were 12th. So, not so far from the points, how was that for you?

KH: Yeah, last weekend being 12th in the Qualifying Race, I still had a good feeling, but I know that obviously top ten is where the points are at, and that's where I want to be. But the depth in MXGP this year is very high, so I was quite happy with my riding and finishing 12th last weekend there, but yeah, working towards getting in that top ten consistently is definitely what I'm aiming for.

BTG: Obviously, we have to talk about the first race. Our cameraman spoke to you between the races already, and you said in an interview with Lisa, that it was so difficult to concentrate on things after seeing Thibault on the ground. Please tell us how that race felt if you can. I know it's obviously difficult, painful, but yeah, can you tell us what was it like for you going around in that race because it must have been, just, so surreal for you?

KH: Yeah, I've been mentally processing it ever since the race, to be honest. And in that moment, you know, you never want to see anyone down on the ground, but you really don't want it to be somebody close to you. And yeah, we have been teammates now for a while and also trained last year, all of the season together. So, we are quite good buddies and quite close, I would say. So, when I saw him down on the ground there, that was all I could focus on, really. Mentally, it was hard because I was focusing more on that than riding, which is not good, also, but yeah, seeing one of your close friends down there, that's not really nice, and something I really had to process also afterwards.

BTG:  Yeah, for sure. We had that day there at the Château, and we noticed that Thibault likes a joke and he had the idea of scaring our colleague Maxime, which we’ll put in the episode. Has that always been a thing? Has he always been a bit of a joker?

KH:  Yeah, he's been always joking, like always trying to get some sh*ts and giggles out of us, and yeah, always like trying to make the situation light-hearted a bit, and try to joke it away, yeah.

BTG: So, the second race, you were good enough to talk to Lisa before the race, which I thought was pretty amazing. And then, you got yourself up into the top ten, so one of your best results of the year so far. So, that must have felt good. I mean, obviously it's a small thing after what happened to Thibault, but for yourself, it must have been nice to at least get a top ten, have something positive for the team out and everyone at that time?

MG: Yeah, for sure. In the break between races, it was a bit hard to process, but at the same time, you don't manage to really take it in and really believe in it yet, because I just heard like some small things, they didn't want to tell me everything, but that he was still there in the medical unit and they had to airlift him out after the race and stuff like that. So, obviously, going into the second moto, I was still thinking a lot on it, and especially with the start crashes, also, like I felt like everything was just very chaotic that day, but yeah I'm happy in a way that I managed to get over it and tried to just focus on my race, even though it was definitely hard to do. And I felt like in the opening laps of the race it was easier, because then it's hectic, you try to just fight for your position and things like this. But then towards the back end of the moto, when you start to get tired and you start to relax a bit more, and actually then the thoughts are coming more. I felt like that last ten minutes of the race again, I couldn't focus much, and I was more or less thinking about this section every time I passed. Like, I can't believe that he went down so hard there. And yeah, it's wild how many different things you can think about during one race in the end.

BTG: Yeah, absolutely. For the rest of the year now, you said to us before we started filming, that Latvia is coming up, and it’s not that far from Norway? So, you're going back home to Norway, why is that, and, what is your plan for the rest of the year, basically?

KH: Yeah, I'm based in the south of France, where it's really hot now, moving forward, and the tracks are getting harder and harder. So, I felt like I needed a small change from the last couple of seasons. And together with the team, they were kind enough to allow me to take a bike back home. So, from now on, I will be able to train a bit more back home and get back to the tracks that I grew up on, which I haven't been able to ride these last couple of years.  And hopefully, that also gives me a bit of motivation and will make my training between the races a bit more fun. I can then hang out with some friends on my days off and things like this. So yeah, I’m really thankful for the team to allow me to do that, because it's also not so easy for them, to just give me a bike and parts and all this, but yeah, they also believe that it could be good for me to do.

BTG: Brilliant. Finally, of course a big part of this episode will be sending a message to Thibault that we’re all thinking of him and wishing him well, is there anything you’d like to say, as part of that message?

KH:  I know Thibault now from the last two years, he's a great person and really down to earth, I feel like, and a really heart-felt guy. He always wants the best for everybody around. And yeah, it's hard to go through this, but I know that he's very strong, and I hope that he can stay positive and motivated through this and know that we are all behind him in the paddock, and I think all of us want to see him have his best life. Yeah, I wish him all the best. He's such a good guy, so it's the worst thing to see him fighting through this, but I'm sure that he will come out in a good way.

Epilogue: The tough Norwegian has shown immense strength of character since the events of Lacapelle-Marival, scoring his first top ten overall results of the season in both Germany and Latvia, with eighth overall at Teutschenthal and ninth at Kegums.  He has moved past Oliver into 13^th in the Championship, the highest-placed rider outside of the factory teams. He has scored some of his best MXGP results in Italy, so is looking forward to Montevarchi next weekend. 

It goes without saying that everyone on the Behind The Gate team was hit hard by the news of Thibault’s injuries, and we can only thank the Honda Motoblouz SR Motul squad for allowing us to continue making the episode and show Thibault and his fun-loving character as much as we could.  I am personally massively proud of how the team pulled together to make the episode, especially Joe Haskayne, who filmed with Kevin over the weekend and edited the segment that featured Monsieur Benistant.

Infront Race Racing

KEGUMS (Latvia), 7th June 2026 – The damp conditions of recent days made way for glorious sunshine today as the Motocenter Zelta Zirgs played host to the MXGP of Latvia, round eight of the FIM Motocross World Championships, in front of full banks of spectators eager to cheer on their home riders, of which they had a full complement for the first time in many years!

It’s been threatening for some time, but today it finally happened! The Coenens finally became the first ever twin brothers to each win a Motocross Grand Prix on the very same day, and they are the first brothers to achieve the feat since Sebastien and Christophe Pourcel took victories in MX1 and MX2 at Faenza in Italy, on the 15th of July 2007, when Lucas and Sacha were only nine months old! 

Lucas Coenen was simply imperious on his way to victory in MXGP for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, leading every single lap and only being led through the first few corners in race two, a situation he quickly remedied!  Kay de Wolf claimed his best MXGP class result yet with second overall for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing, and the only man who briefly led a Coenen all day, Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP’s #1 plate holder Romain Febvre, took third overall.

Sacha Coenen used his incredible prowess off the start to take both Fox Holeshot Awards and was never led by anyone to complete the perfect weekend for the family and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, while Camden McLellan moved himself up in the Championship with second overall for the Triumph Racing Factory Team. Mathis Valin climbed the podium for the fourth straight GP with third overall for Kawasaki Racing Team MX2. Spare a thought for home hero Karlis Reisulis, who was looking good for a dream podium at home for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 until a last lap pass by McLellan knocked him back to fifth overall.

There was major adversity for title contenders in both classes as well, making it just about the most perfect weekend of racing possible for those with the surname Coenen!

MXGP Start Latvia 2026

Once again, Jeffrey Herlings put his HRC Honda Petronas machine at the top of the timesheets in morning Warm-Up, with reigning World Champion Romain Febvre second fastest, ahead of old foe Tim Gajser on the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP.

From his Qualifying Race win, however, Lucas Coenen had the inside gate and used it to great effect in race one, claiming his seventh Fox Holeshot Award of the season as Herlings lost traction briefly enough to have Febvre come past him into the second corner! The crowd were immediately involved as their home hero Pauls Jonass, in his first MXGP of Latvia since 2022, burst into view in fourth place for Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP ahead of the Gabriel SS24 KTM of Oriol Oliver. 

Oliver was bounced around a little on the first lap by Kay de Wolf and Gajser, as well as the second Honda HRC Petronas machine of Ruben Fernandez. De Wolf also sliced past Jonass after the uphill triple jump to claim fourth on the first full lap. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Andrea Adamo and the sole surviving Red Bull Ducati Factory MXGP Team rider Calvin Vlaanderen rounded out the top ten. Calvin’s teammate Andrea Bonacorsi had undergone surgery on Saturday evening to treat injuries to his abdomen from his crash in the Qualifying Race.  We all wish him a speedy recovery.

As Gajser took advantage of a mistake by Jonass to pass the Latvian around the outside of a left-hander, taking fifth on lap four, so Herlings was attacking Febvre.  He was simply unable to get around the reigning World Champion, allowing Coenen to ease away at the front.  Behind them, Fernandez cut inside Jonass for sixth on lap seven, but that was as far as the local favourite would drop, while Adamo got past Oliver for eighth, and they finished in that order ahead of Vlaanderen.

Finally, on lap ten, Herlings was able to lean on Febvre to take second, but by that time De Wolf had caught them both and was able to pick the pocket of the Champ on the very next corner! The Frenchman would stay fourth ahead of Gajser and Fernandez at the flag, but De Wolf wasn’t done as he drew level with his elder compatriot over the big jump in front of the grandstand, the pair landing close together and the Husqvarna securing the move in the following corner!

Lucas’ final margin was just over three seconds, and he revealed that he had been wrestling with a technical issue for the last few laps, which was extremely worrying for the opposition!

The only racing achievement that didn’t have the surname “Coenen” stamped all over it was the second race Fox Holeshot Award, as Febvre nudged the Kawasaki’s wheels ahead of Coenen’s KTM on the run from turn one to turn two! Herlings came round in third ahead of another great start for Oliver, and Adamo initially in fifth, but former World Champions Jonass, Gajser, and De Wolf would nudge the two KTM men down to seventh and eighth by the end of the first full lap, with Maxime Renaux ninth for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP and Jago Geerts a great tenth for MRT Racing Team Beta.

Coenen drew level with Febvre over the finish line jump, and pinched the Frenchman to the inside of the first corner of the first full lap, to grab the advantage and make the field chase after him once again.  Herlings obliged, determined not to let his young rival streak away as he blasted around the outside of Febvre to take second along the next straight and corner jump. 

Sadly, Oliver and Renaux were to both drop out of the race early due to technical issues.  Geerts was promoted to eighth, higher than he has been all year for the factory Beta squad, and he had Jan Pancar behind him for TEM JP253 KTM Racing. Fernandez had gone down in the first corner and would face a race-long fight through to 11th at the flag.

Jonass held on to fourth for a loudly-hailed five laps before both Gajser and De Wolf got past him, while Pancar also overtook Geerts on the same lap to put the Belgian back to ninth ahead of Estonian Yamaha Keskus wild-card Jörgen-Matthias Talviku!  Talviku would battle with the Team Honda Motoblouz SR Motul rider Kevin Horgmo, finally nailing down eighth in the race with three laps to go ahead of the Norwegian, with Geerts scoring his first top ten race finish for Beta!  Pancar had an entertaining scrap with Adamo in a real factory-versus-privateer battle, which the Italian won to take sixth with two laps to go.  Seventh was still by far the Slovenian’s best race of the year.

At the front, Herlings and Febvre refused to let Coenen escape, and the teenager was absorbing the pressure well. As the Frenchman closed in, suddenly Jeffrey’s bike came to a stop on the exit of a left-handed corner, and the Dutchman would have to walk back to the Paddock for the second time in two GPs!  De Wolf got past Gajser in blazing style at around the same time to claim third.  As much as Febvre gave chase, Coenen was equal to it and cruised away to an eight-second race win and his 20th career Grand Prix victory, equalling his MX2 tally with his tenth in the premier class!  With De Wolf second overall ahead of Febvre, and Herlings’ problems giving Lucas a sudden 62-point advantage at the top of the standings, it was an amazing day for the red plate holder.

Gajser and Jonass held fourth and fifth to the flag, and would finish in those places overall ahead of Adamo, Fernandez, and a brilliant Pancar. Horgmo went 11-9 to take ninth on the day and his second top-ten in succession, with Herlings a dejected tenth overall. 

Lucas had completed the most perfect weekend for one family in the history of Motocross, with complete domination of all three races across the weekend in both classes.  Where can it go from here?  As the halfway point of the season approaches, the rest of the field needs to find something in next weekend’s break from action before we rip into the MXGP of Italy at Montevarchi!

Lucas Coenen: “It’s just amazing, I can’t describe it better. To see me and my brother win all the Races together on the same weekend is just so amazing. Thanks to the team a lot, because they worked really hard after what happened in race  1, they put me in really good conditions to go out in the second Race, and then I just tried to control it and not make any mistakes, because the track was really tricky. I was in the lead so I just had to do the laps and try not to make a mistake, and that’s what I did. I was not searching to make a gap because the track was so tricky that you could easily make a mistake, so I was just happy to be up front with clear vision. It was a good weekend.”

Kay de Wolf: “Just positive. We aimed for going 3-3 on the weekend, ended up going 2-3, so we’re really happy. We achieved another goal going second overall. The second Race was a bit tougher, I got pushed wide with the start which put me in around ninth, and it didn’t flow as well as the first one. The first Race I had a way better flow and could ride way easier, so it’s tough to come through the pack. Tim [Gajser] put up a good fight and I made a few big mistakes actually which should not happen, but we’re still learning and we keep achieving new goals so I’m really happy. [About his acclimatation to MXGP Class] The first race in Spain wasn’t so good, I’d basically been lying on the physio table for three weeks doing nothing and then going racing in Spain was two tough Races. After the first one I was like, how am I going to even start the second? But I managed to get a decent result, seventh overall, and ever since then I’ve been going forward;  fourth, then fifth last weekend, and now second. We just keep building and trying to be consistent.”

Romain Febvre: “It’s a good weekend, just consistent, 4-2 on Sunday. The start was quite decent and I tried to work as much as possible on that, because even if you are not the best, if you start well it’s easy to stay with the good group, and that’s what I did this weekend. In the first Race I was maybe 20 minutes in second place, but behind me they were pushing, finding other lines, and every time I made a small mistake they came close, so I held on, held on, held on, and then at some point physically I was a little bit not strong, so I decided just to keep it for fourth. In the second Race I didn’t change anything but I was feeling much better physically. I took the holeshot but Lucas and Jeffrey passed me straight away on the first lap, so I was a little bit shocked,  I lost two positions in one lap. But I stayed with them, one or two seconds all the way, and then I guess Jeffrey had an issue with the bike and I was behind Lucas. I came close to him with two laps to go, but I was thinking too much about being on the podium because the last few weeks I missed it so many times and was not consistent. Either way, it’s definitely good to be on the podium, and with what happened to Jeffrey in the second Race, we take good points for the championship!”

MXGP Podium Latvia 2026

Sacha Coenen

Sacha Coenen once more set the fastest time in the Warm-Up session for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, but Janis Reisulis kept the crowd excited with second for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 ahead of the Kawasaki Racing Team MX2 machine of Mathis Valin.

Who else was going to take the Fox Holeshot Award? Coenen fired into the early lead and promptly escaped, as Jens Walvoort started in second on his SB Racing KTM, ahead of reigning Champion Simon Längenfelder on the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing machine! Fast all weekend, Valerio Lata was initially fourth for Honda HRC Petronas ahead of the Maddii Racing Honda ABF Italia of Maxime Grau, but Camden McLellan was on the charge and quickly past both red bikes, as well as Walvoort, to reach third behind Längenfelder by lap four.  Valin had started at the edge of the top ten, just ahead of Triumph Racing Factory Team rider Guillem Farres. 

McLellan got past the Champion for second on lap seven, as Valin marched up the order to hold fourth by then, as Lata crashed and damaged his machine to the point where he could not continue.  Farres, Karlis Reisulis, his brother Janis and the lone Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing pilot Liam Everts all got around the fast-starting Walvoort. 

DRT Kawasaki’s Kay Karssemakers got past Grau to claim tenth with three laps to go, while Walvoort hung on to finish ninth, as Everts finished seventh between Karlis and Janis Reisulis, but behind Coenen the top order would take a final shake-up as McLellan went down heavily on landing from the uphill triple!  Amazingly unhurt, he had lost second for good to Valin, but recovered well enough with no helmet peak to hustle past Längenfelder for third on the final lap, and his teammate Farres followed in his wake! This put the Champion down to 14 points behind Coenen, but worse was to come for the German.

Race two saw Sacha Coenen extend his Fox Holeshot Award tally to ten for the year, but this one was more marginal over Lata, while Karlis Reisulis got the crowd roaring with a great start in third!  The Kawasaki machines of Valin and Karssemakers followed, but the Dutchman was passed early by the Beddini Racing Ducati Factory MX2 Team rider Ferruccio Zanchi, who was thankfully showing no ill effects from an over-the-bars crash in race one!

Karlis drew further excitement from the crowd with a quick pass on Lata to take second, and almost held on to Sacha, but there was no-one equipped with any Coenen Kryptonite, in either class, all day long!  The Triumph teamsters had not started well, and they had to fight through the pack again.  McLellan and Farres, in that order, worked past Valin to get into the top five on lap 12, a situation which put Karlis Reisulis in line for a home podium if he could stay in second!

Behind the leaders, Janis Reisulis recovered from a mid-race crash to claim tenth behind Karssemakers, while Zanchi made a few mistakes on his way to eighth, still a season’s best for the Italian before his home round to come!  Liam Everts finished a disappointing day in seventh, only good enough for sixth overall. Janis, Karssemakers, Walvoort, and Grau with 11-11 results would round out the overall top ten.

Längenfelder, meanwhile, was having a torrid time, and only got up to ninth before suffering a painful crash which cracked his back over the bike’s front wheel, and he pulled into the Paddock in pain.  McLellan broke Latvian hearts with a last lap pass on Karlis Reisulis for second, knocking the Yamaha man down to fifth overall behind Farres, and gifting Valin a podium despite finishing behind the Spaniard, who had passed Lata for fourth in the closing laps.  It gave McLellan a strong second overall, and he moves past Everts now into fourth in the Championship.

At the top though, stands Sacha Coenen, who backed off from his 25-second lead to bring home his third straight GP win at Kegums, and the sixth of his career to date.  More importantly in his mind, the Belgian is now 37 points ahead of Längenfelder in the World Championship, with Farres now just three behind the German!

There is hardpack to come, which will give hope to the chasers maybe in both classes, but the double Coenen express trains are looking impressive to say the least as the Paddock takes a week off, before re-convening at the seldom-used venue of Montevarchi for round nine on the 20th and 21st of June!

Come and join us for that one at an unfamiliar track that will raise a heap of questions for everybody!  See you out there!

Sacha Coenen: “It’s amazing, I have no words. It’s really nice to win all the Races at the same time as my brother on the same weekend.. it’s really special! Especially on this track where I won my first GP, and now I’ve won here three times in a row, so it’s quite special. I’m really happy. I just like this track, it kind of suits me. I like everything about it,  it’s a bit sketchy in some places and you need to be really careful. I’m not really thinking about the championship, I’m just trying to go race by race and do my best every weekend. I’m still having fun on the bike, just keeping myself at the front every race and making the most points possible.”

Camden McLellan: “All in all, pretty good from my seat this weekend, a lot of sand flying in my face, but for the rest it was pretty good. I think if I could get out of the gate I could run with Sacha, but there are ifs, buts and maybes every weekend, so I really need to polish that and figure out why I’m not getting starts. Overall I’m happy, the team’s done a great job, the track was tricky, the bike was awesome and I was riding well, so if we can continue this momentum going forward I think we’ll be good. It doesn’t need to be a holeshot every time, but if I can round the first corner in the top five it would make my life a lot easier. The issue is Sacha is really good at sprinting in those first two or three laps and can build ten seconds before you blink. I think it’s mental, to be honest; I’m very calculated in terms of risk and reward, and I’m not willing to push over the limit when there’s no real reward. I’ll just build on confidence gradually and calculate it, which is my approach.”

Mathis Valin: “It wasn’t easy this weekend. I wasn’t feeling that great with the track, but I managed a good first Race. I didn’t have the best first corner but I had to fight to come back, and Camden made a mistake at the end so I could finish second, which was a good one. I gave everything in the first Race so I was a bit tired in the second. Overall it was good;  four podiums in a row, so I have the consistency now. I’m feeling good mentally. I just take it race by race and give my best, and if I can fight for the championship I will, but I’m not putting any pressure on it.”
