The 2026 MXGP World Championship is entering its decisive phase, with Arnhem adding another pivotal chapter to both the MXGP and MX2 title fights as three rounds remain. Revisit the action through our Captured feature, highlighting the defining moments from the weekend in illustrated form.

We’ve been treated to an epic MXGP World Championship season so far, and with the Netherlands now in the books, the series exits Europe for three more flyaway rounds to determine this year’s champions. It’s looking particularly good for the number 84, who extended his MXGP lead to 143 points.

Former MXGP points leader Lucas Coenen attempted to return to racing at Arnhem, although a heavy crash on Saturday brought those plans to an early end.

Also failing to score points in the Netherlands was Monster Energy Yamaha’s Maxime Renaux, with injuries sustained in his crash at the previous round in Sweden proving too difficult to ride through.

The strong late-season form continues for Liam Everts, who raced to Saturday’s qualification race win, a moto two victory, and second overall in the Netherlands, following a P2 result at the previous round in Sweden.

“I feel some riders were a bit dirty…so I think I will show them how to ride in Turkey because it was a bit dangerous” – Sacha Coenen. The MX2 title fight is intensifying!

Double Women’s World Motocross Champion Lotte van Drunen returned to the top step at her home GP in Arnhem via 1-1 moto results.

Coupled with Herlings and Kay de Wolf’s 1-2 finish in the MXGP division, it was a strong day for the Dutch contingent at home.

Triumph Factory Racing’s Guillem Farres showed the battle scars at round 16, carrying the aftermath of a couple of heavy crashes during the qualifying race in Sweden. Motocross riders are, without a doubt, among the toughest athletes in the world.

Decorated Dutchman Glenn Coldenhoff called time on his illustrious MXGP career at Arnhem, signing off with impressive 7-4 moto scores for fifth overall.

A third overall victory of 2026 keeps Camden McLellan firmly in the MX2 title fight, despite rivals Farres and Coenen continuing to take much of the headlines. Don’t overlook the South African, who sits just 37 points from the championship lead and has won two of the last four overall rounds.
