and a big shoutout to all of them
for their work in what has been a
long and intense year."
Red Bull KTM's Jeffrey Herlings
finished out the year third in the
standings, 42 points behind Gajser.
"Overall, it's been a positive
championship," Herlings said. "It
could have been better for the
final result if my starts were there,
but that's also something I have
to work on. Congratulations to
Jorge. He was the best and he
deserves it this year."

In MX2, Belgian Lucas Coenen
(Husqvarna) took the overall win
for the day, but Dutchman Kay de
Wolf wrapped up the MX2 title for
the year, making it a Husqvarna
1-2 in the World Championship,
with Coenen taking second.
The day, however, was not
straightforward for de Wolf, as
Coenen did everything possible
to take the title away with two
commanding race wins, getting
to within just 20 points at the
end of 20 Grands Prix. However,
with sensible riding, the red-plate
holder, de Wolf, claimed the title
on his 20th birthday.
"It's amazing! And on my birth

day!" de Wolf said. "I just have so
many emotions about this result.
This team has believed in me
from the very beginning—back in
2018 when they signed me for
the 85cc. They have continued
to support me every single day.
From the 125cc, to the EMX 250,
and now in MX2, it's been abso

lutely unreal. I've got this gold
plate finally in my hands!"
"It's tough to come so close
and miss out on the title by just
20 points, but I'm incredibly proud
of the way I raced this season,"
Coenen said. "Winning the final
round and having such a strong
run of victories throughout the year
shows what we're capable of."
German Simon Laengenfelder
(GasGas) finished a distant third
in the championship, followed by
Belgian Liam Everts (KTM) and
