ROUND 14 / AUGUST 1-2, 2026 LOMMEL CIRCUIT / LOMMEL, BELGIUM MOTOCROSS I FIM MOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P76 just happy to bring it home. I had a bit of a crash near the end, so Kay got second, but I don't really know by how much I won in the end, I just did what I had to do to win. That's 60 points—massive for the championship. Now it's about staying sharp; we've got five more races to go, and we need to work on the sand before Arnhem, but the team works extremely hard, day in, day out." Kay de Wolf returned to the overall podium with a strong sec - ond-place finish for the Nestaan Husqvarna squad. The MXGP rookie steadily worked his way through the field in both motos after overcoming subpar starts. De Wolf's speed in the sand was expected, as he made quick work of former World Champions and avoided a crash with defending champ Romain Febvre late in race two. Consistent 2-2 scores gave de Wolf the highest-scoring result of the year and added confidence to his recently an - nounced contract extension. "I learned a lot this weekend," de Wolf said. "I followed Jeffrey for the first 12 to 15 minutes in race one, then let him go because I knew I needed the energy for race two. I went the wrong way this morning in the first race. It's something you learn from, and I'm happy it happened now rather than at Arnhem. Coming back from the injury, I still felt like I wasn't quite there physically." Tim Gajser finished third on Camden McLellan battled his way to a career-first 1-1-1 weekend sweep. 2026 MX2 & MXGP of Flanders Video Highlights
