Herlings, Coenen Sweep MXGP of Sweden T he 2026 FIM Motocross World Championship returned to Uddevalla's historic Glimminge Motorstadion on August 14-16, where a record crowd of more than 28,000 fans packed the hill - sides for the MXGP of Sweden. Jeffrey Herlings continued his run of dominance with another perfect weekend while Sacha Coenen made his long-awaited return to the top step of the podium. MXGP This championship is now Herlings' to lose. The Dutch - man began Sunday's race day by topping the warmup by nearly a second and a half over Tim Ga - jser, then immediately established himself at the front when the gate dropped for race one. Andrea Adamo initially claimed the Fox Holeshot Award, but Herlings and teammate Tom Vialle quickly moved around the Italian. While Pauls Jonass briefly occupied second, Herlings steadily moved ahead from the battle behind him. The championship leader con - trolled the race from the front and ultimately crossed the finish more than 20 seconds clear of the field. Race two followed the same script as Herlings quickly moved through the field into the lead before a full lap had been com - pleted. Once again, nobody could match his pace. Herlings crossed the line more than six seconds ahead of Romain Febvre to com- plete another 1-1 weekend and secure his 121st career Grand Prix victory. With Lucas Coenen out once again, this win pushed Herlings' championship lead to 116 points over Febvre with only five rounds remaining. "I feel like I am riding well, and I feel good on the bike," Herlings said. "We won every session, led every lap and won both races, so I am super happy." Febvre's second-place fin - ish was another important step closer in his effort to take second in the overall champion - ship. The reigning World Cham- pion battled his way through the opening race, eventually moving past Adamo and Vialle to finish second. He then came out firing in race two, emerging from the opening corner with the lead. Febvre led briefly before Herlings made his move, but the French- man maintained second for the remainder of the race to take the runner-up spot. Another strong result helped him solidify second in the championship, sitting 116 points behind Herlings. With Lucas Coenen absent yet again, Febvre's newfound consistency has become more valuable in this year's battle. Vialle returned to the MXGP podium with a strong third overall. The Frenchman has been on a steady upward trajectory WIND IN THE P40 Honda's Jeffrey Herlings produced another MXGP sweep, this time at Uddevalla, further bolstering his championship lead.
