started up front in both motos
and kept the race leaders in sight
en route to 3-3 results. Third over-
all sees another podium for the
MXGP rookie and moves him one
point ahead of Andrea Adamo in
the battle for fourth in the
championship.
Calvin Vlaanderen finished
fourth overall, with Pauls Jonass
rounding out the top five.
Lucas Coenen also announced
he'd be missing the final two
rounds of MXGP in hopes of be-
ing 100 percent for the upcoming
FIM Motocross of Nations. This
effectively marks the end of his
MXGP career, as he'll move to the
United States full-time in 2027.

Camden McLellan captured his
fourth overall win of the season
for the Triumph Factory Racing
team. The South African rider
took top honors in race one after
moving past defending
champion Simon Laengen-
felder and points leader
Guillem Farres late in the
race. After capturing the
win with just a one-second
margin at the line, McLellan
ran up front again in race
two with the same cast of
characters putting up a fight. He
finished second but still took the
overall win with 1-2 scores. This
win prevented Farres from clinch-
ing the title one round early and
keeps McLellan still within math-
ematical reach of the champion-
ship with one round remaining.
Farres took second, making it
another Triumph 1-2 on the overall
podium. A close third in race one
saw the Spanish rider trail the
leaders but gain ground on his rival
Sacha Coenen. He backed that up
by grabbing the win in moto two,
and a 3-1 scorecard boosted him
to second overall. Farres increased
his championship lead to 48 points
and mathematically eliminated
Coenen from the title fight. He
could potentially secure the MX2
World Championship as early as
next Saturday's qualifying race.
Liam Everts extended his run
of podiums with another third-
place finish. After taking fifth in
Saturday's qualifying race, Everts
immediately came out swinging
on Sunday by topping the warm-
up and finishing a close third in
moto one. He maintained second
place late into race two before a
small mistake on lap 15 allowed
McLellan to sneak by. Everts
remained in the lead group, and
a 3-3 scorecard earned his fourth
consecutive podium finish.
Simon Laengenfelder took
second in race one but finished
fourth overall, with Janis Reisulis
completing the top five.
The FIM Motocross World Cham-
pionship now heads to Darwin,
Australia, for the final round.
