MXGP

RIOLA SARDO (Sardegna, Italy) 11th April 2026 – The contrast could not be higher between the low temperatures and grassy terrain of Switzerland and today’s hot, sunny, and very sandy conditions at Riola Sardo, as the MXGP elite set about the business of Qualifying for the MXGP of Sardegna at the Crossodromo Comunale “Le Dune” circuit!

For the second GP in a row, Honda HRC Petronas’ new signing Jeffrey Herlings took the Qualifying Race win after a stirring brace of passes in the opening laps, although he was pressured all the way by reigning World Champion Romain Febvre, who had to accept second place for Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP.  Both men enjoyed their best result on a Saturday at Riola Sardo, while Tim Gajser equalled his best of the year with third for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP.  There were many laps of frantic action going on behind them, however!

In MX2, it was yet another Qualifying Race win for Sacha Coenen, giving him a perfect record on Saturday races for the 2026 season so far! His fellow Red Bull KTM Factory Racing pilot Simon Längenfelder worked solidly forward to second, extending his Championship lead with several passes through the race, while Janis Reisulis scored the best Qualifying Race result of his young career with third for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2!

With cooler, more overcast conditions forecast for tomorrow’s Grand Prix races, the riders will be looking forward to less intense heat, even though the track itself will still be as fast and demanding as ever!

Always a threat in the deep sand, it was good to see Kay de Wolf set fastest time in Free Practice for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing as he continues his recovery from a thumb injury. He was over a second faster than the two five-time World Champions, Jeffrey Herlings and Tim Gajser. 

When it counted for gate pick, however, red plate holder Lucas Coenen fired in a red-hot opening lap to set the standard early in Time Practice for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing.  With Herlings falling on a couple of occasions, the Honda man had to settle for third in the end, as Gajser swooped in with a flying final effort to snatch Pole Position by just four thousandths of a second from Coenen! It’s the first time that the Slovenian has set the best time this season, proving that his work with the Yamaha team in Belgium during the week off has paid dividends!

Romain Febvre bolted out the gate to claim the Holeshot in the Qualifying Race, with Herlings trying to blast around the outside, only just held up by his Honda HRC Petronas teammate Tom Vialle, who he then passed at the end of Pit lane with a simple inside out-braking manoeuvre!

On the floor in the first turn, however, were Coenen and De Wolf!  The red plate holder had tucked the front wheel and left the Dutchman nowhere to go, but the duo fought through the pack like a freight train, already into the top fifteen at the end of the first full lap! 

By that time, Herlings had railed around Febvre in that fast right-hander after Pit Lane to take the lead, and set about taking advantage of his Championship rival’s misfortunes with the maximum points haul!

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s class rookie, Andrea Adamo, initially held fourth behind Vialle, with Gajser making some passes to lie in fifth place ahead of Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP’s Pauls Jonass.  Gajser managed to force his way into fourth by the end of lap three.

It only took until lap five for De Wolf and Coenen to get into the top ten, and were blazing a trail through the pack as the Belgian passed his former teammate for eighth on lap seven, and was clearly far from done with his charge.  The following lap saw him demote Jonass and the second Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP rider Maxime Renaux, putting him into sixth place and within striking distance of Adamo!

Febvre momentarily challenged Herlings for the lead, but “The Bullet” was not to be denied. As Gajser closed in on Vialle for third, Coenen eased up to the back wheel of the Italian, and took an inside line through a right-hander to move up to an astonishing fifth.  Surely fourth would be too much to ask? 

Behind them, Alberto Forato put a move on Renaux to claim eighth, with Brent Van Doninck finishing behind the Frenchman to put both Fantic Factory Racing MXGP machines into the Saturday points for the first time this year!  De Wolf’s charge halted at seventh place behind Adamo, but surely the Dutchman could be a challenger with a better start tomorrow.

Coenen, amazingly, was able to snap at the back wheel of Vialle on the final lap, but the Frenchman held him off to keep fourth place.  Herlings, meanwhile, celebrated his 72nd career Qualifying Race win, but his first at Riola, despite suffering a bout of arm-pump mid-race. 

Coenen maintains his title lead over Vialle, now down to six points, while Herlings is now only two down on his teammate.

There can be no doubt that tomorrow will prove to be a massive physical challenge for all concerned, and it promises to create an incredible day of MXGP action!

Jeffrey Herlings: “It was not easy for sure. Romain [Febvre] was riding really good behind me. I mean, he’s got so much experience in the sand, he’s been living in Belgium for a long time, so I’m sure it helps. He was world champion for a reason, so I’m very thankful with this qualifying win. Second in a row, so good to get these 10 points again. But yeah, looking forward to tomorrow’s racing. The track was really gnarly today, so the starts are going to be key tomorrow.”

Romain Febvre: “I think I was quite fast. I had some really good lines, and I could close the gap on Jeffrey [Herlings] many times, but I wasn’t able to make the pass. But I feel really good. Lately we have made some changes on the bike and it works really well in the sand, and now I start to take the holeshot so that’s really good. But yeah, we’ll see tomorrow, it’s another day, but I feel ready, so let’s go.”

Tim Gajser: “Definitely more rough than in time practice, so it was a bit more demanding. I didn’t have the best start, I was again buried in the back in the first couple of corners, it was a big mess. But then when I found my rhythm, I could pick it up and slowly go towards the front, catching the guys ahead. So yeah, really happy with the speed, nothing is missing. Hopefully tomorrow we can have a good start and then good riding as well.”

Sacha Coenen

In Free Practice, the pace was initially set by Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 rider Karlis Reisulis, but then Sacha Coenen blazed across the sand to top the timings by over two seconds! Only one rider, even in the MXGP class, went faster all day! Simon Längenfelder lifted himself into second spot, ahead of Karlis and his brother and teammate Janis Reisulis.

In Time Practice though, it was “The Killer” who set a stunning lap on his first real attempt, and that wasn’t beaten through the entire session, as Triumph Racing Factory Team rider Guillem Farres got closest to Janis to take second gate pick behind the Latvian! Coenen had a late run that was looking good, but made a mistake in sector three, leaving the young Belgian in third.

Janis looked to have claimed the Holeshot in the Qualifying Race, but ran slightly wide, allowing Coenen to slip through, as well as the Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing rider Liam Everts, Karlis Reisulis, and Längenfelder!  The Triumph Racing Factory Team pairing of Farres and Camden McLellan held sixth and seventh, the South African struggling with a sore shoulder after his crash in Switzerland. 

It was the Reisulis brothers who made the first big moves. Karlis was on a charge, passing Everts for second over a tabletop jump, while Janis went around the outside of a stumbling Längenfelder at the end of Pit Lane!

The leaders then held station for the first three full laps, but then it all exploded as Janis made moves on both Everts and his brother to take second by the end of lap five, with Längenfelder also able to pass both riders on the next lap to hit third!  Everts also passed Karlis, who then came under pressure from Farres, while Mathis Valin joined the party for Kawasaki Racing Team MX2 with a pass on the visibly below-par McLellan for seventh.

Lap eight saw changes of a different kind, as Farres passed Karlis Reisulis, who fell over the Spaniard’s back wheel, over the handlebars, and out of the race! The Triumph man then had his own crash, bouncing against the bank and dropping to tenth, which is where he finished to claim the final Championship point on offer today.

There was a welcome return to action for the Beddini Racing Ducati Factory MX2 Team rider Ferruccio Zanchi, with a successful debut on the Desmo250 MX in ninth place, behind his former teammate Valerio Lata, eighth for Honda HRC Petronas. Dutchman Kay Karssemakers scored his best ever Qualifying Race finish of seventh on the Dixon Racing Team Kawasaki!

Valin claimed sixth after being re-passed by McLellan, and Janis Reisulis scored his first top three Qualifying result after holding off Everts.

However, it was a 1-2 for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, with Sacha Coenen going four-for-four in Qualifying Races this season, moving up to second in the Championship behind Längenfelder, as the German enjoys a slightly larger points lead of 24, now over the Belgian instead of Farres.

Will Sacha be able to convert that Saturday speed to a great Sunday for the first time this year, or will his rivals catch him out on the shifting sands of Sardegna?

Both classes promise some incredible racing on the tortuously tough sandy surface, which makes this yet another Grand Prix Sunday that any Motocross fan would not want to miss!

Sacha Coenen: “It’s a really sketchy track. You cannot push really hard because then you make a mistake. At first I was not enjoying it at all, I was doing a bit left and right, but then when I found my rhythm… it looked like I was riding like a sighting lap. Under my helmet I was like, just jumping all the whoops. But yeah, I had some fun, I had a bit of arm bump at the end, but it’s good to have another qualifying race win.”

MXGP Sardegna

RIOLA SARDO (Sardegna, Italy) 11th April 2026 – The MXGP of Sardegna officially got underway under bright Mediterranean sunshine as the traditional Opening Press Conference set the tone for another spectacular weekend of racing at the iconic Riola Sardo circuit.

Bringing together key figures from the championship, local authorities, along with home riders Valerio Lata form Honda HRC Petronas riding in MX2, the press conference highlighted the importance of Sardegna as a long-standing and strategic stop on the MXGP calendar, as well as the strong collaboration between the sport and the region. With its deep sand and technical layout, the venue once again promises to deliver one of the most demanding and exciting Grands Prix of the season with the plethora of World Class riders

David Luongo (Infront Moto Racing CEO & President): “Sardegna is always a special destination for all of us, not only because of the beauty of the island and the great weather we enjoy at this time of the year, but also because this Grand Prix has become one of the most demanding of the season. The deep sand track really pushes the riders to their limits and always delivers fantastic racing. At the same time, this event is a great example of how MXGP can bring strong benefits to a region, especially at this period before the summer season. We have built a very strong relationship with the local and regional authorities and the organiser, who continues to improve the facilities year after year. It’s always a pleasure to be back here, and we hope to continue in Sardegna for many years to come.”

Antonio Alia (FIM / CMS Director): “From the FIM side, we are very pleased to see the strong synergy between all the parties involved in this event. The collaboration between the promoter, the local authorities, and the organising club is a great example of how a Grand Prix should be developed. Over the years, this event has reached a very high standard and has become a reference for other venues around the world. It is also important to highlight how this event promotes not only Sardegna but Italy as a whole. With great weather and the best riders in the world present, everything is in place for a fantastic weekend of racing.”

Valerio Lata (Honda HRC Petronas): “It’s really special for me to race here, as it’s my home Grand Prix and one of my favourite tracks on the calendar. The circuit is very demanding with the deep sand, and it’s completely different compared to most of the other tracks, so preparation is very important. I spent a lot of time here during the winter training and working with the team, especially on the bike setup for these conditions. Sardegna is also a beautiful place, so it’s always nice to come here and I’m really looking forward to the weekend.”

Stefano Piano (Private Secretary of Tourism Department of Sardegna Region): “This event is very important for promoting Sardegna around the world. It perfectly connects sport and tourism, showcasing the unique characteristics of our island. We are very proud to welcome MXGP and to share our territory with an international audience.”

Alessandro Solinas (Sardegna Region Councillor & President of the Budget Commission): “We are proud to host this event again and we are committed to supporting it for many years. MXGP brings great value to Sardegna, not only during the race weekend but throughout the year. It is an investment that generates strong returns for our economy and our visibility worldwide.”

Lorenzo Pinna (Mayor of Riola Sardo): “We are very proud to host this Grand Prix. It’s the result of years of hard work and collaboration, and it brings important benefits not only to our town but to all of Sardegna. Our community is fully involved and honoured to be part of such an important international event.”

Fulvio Maiorca (Moto School Riola MC President): “Year after year we continue to improve the track and facilities. Thanks to the support from the region, we can keep developing the event and aim to host MXGP here for many more years.

MXGP Sardegna

Riola Sardo (Sardegna, Italy) 10th April 2026 – The 2026 MXGP FIM Motocross World Championship holds its fourth round on the Mediterranean island of Sardegna, as the deep beach sand of the Crossodromo Comunale “Le Dune” Circuit brings a seriously physical challenge to the MXGP elite, with high temperatures only adding to the contrast between this round and the last one in Switzerland.

Teenage sensation Lucas Coenen continues to lead the Championship in MXGP, but the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing flyer has close company from the Honda HRC Petronas pairing of Tom Vialle and Jeffrey Herlings, who both have two GP victories to their name at Riola!

Reigning MX2 World Champion Simon Längenfelder has won two of the three rounds so far to stand on top of the table for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, but he has yet to finish in the top three in Sardegna, so the chasing Triumph Factory Racing Team duo of Guillem Farres and Camden McLellan will be keen to make ground on the German, with Sacha Coenen looking to extend his perfect record of Qualifying Race wins to advance from third in the standings!

Italy is always an important stop in the world motocross championship. Back in 1957 in the very first year of the FIM Motocross World Championships when Swedish legend Bill Nilsson won at the Imola circuit, a circuit that would hold seven of the first eight 500cc Grand Prix’s.

Many great circuits have been a part of the GP scene, from Gallarate where Torsten Hallman won his first 250 GP in Italy, and would win five times in that country, at various circuits. Of course, Maggiora, which first appeared on the GP scene in 1966 when German legend Paul Friedrichs won a 500cc GP has a huge history, with the legendary 1986 Motocross des Nations, and that events return in 2016, not to mention a long list of Grand Prix’s held at that magnificent circuit on the hillside.

We could go on forever, with circuits like Cingoli, Fermo, Faenza, Montevarchi, and Arco Di Trento have all been written in motocross folk-law and will remain great memories for those lucky enough to visit those old school circuits.

This weekends fourth round of the 2026 MXGP world championship heads to Sardegna and the very tough, Crossodromo Comunale “Le Dune” circuit, a circuit that has celebrated some historical moments in the sports history.

The opening GP at Riola was won by Jeffrey Herlings with a perfect 1-1 result, beating Jorge Prado who scored 2-2 and Romain Febvre with 3-3. In MX2, it was Tom Vialle who won with 1-1, Maxime Renaux was second with 2-3 and third was Kay De Wolf with 4-4 scores.

Who can forget the winner in 2022, when Calvin Vlaanderen, on a privateer machine won with 1-1 results, ahead of Prado 3-3 and Glenn Coldenhoff with 8-2 finishes. Vialle won again with 1-1, ahead of Jago Geerts on 2-2 and Roan Van De Moosdijk 4-3.

Herlings won again in 2023 with 2-2 scores, ahead of Coldenhoff 5-1 and Prado 1-6 results, while in MX2 in 2023, it was Geerts with 2-1, de Wolf 1-2 and Thibault Benistant 4-3. 2024 and Prado on with 1-1, Tim Gajser made his podium debut at Riola with a 2-2 score and Herlings went 3-3 for third overall. In MX2 de Wolf went 2-1, Lucas Coenen was second with 1-2 and third was Camden Mc Lellan with 3-5.

Finally in 2025, Romain Febvre added his name to the winners list in Sardegna, with a 4-1 score, Coldenhoff was second with 2-3 and third was Tim Gajser with 5-2 for third place. In MX2, de Wolf joined Herlings and Vialle as a two-time winner in Sardegna, with a 1-1 performance and second being Mc Lellan with 2-3 and third was Andrea Adamo with 4-2.

Now, we arrived with two very tough championships in MXGP and MX2 and a number of riders capable of taking victory. It is hard to go past Lucas Coenen, who has been sensational in 2026 and takes the red plate to Sardegna, but you can not count out the likes of Herlings, De Wolf, Gajser, Vialle, Febvre or Adamo as possible winners.
