The MXGP of Great Britain returned to Foxhills for the first time in over 25 years, delivering an action-packed weekend across both the MXGP and MX2 categories. Our Captured feature revisits the event in illustrated form, unpacking the key moments that defined the return of the storied circuit.

For the first time in over 25 years, Foxhills hosted an MXGP World Championship event, replacing Matterley Basin on this year’s calendar. The circuit looked impressive both in the lead-up to and throughout the weekend, while a healthy crowd also turned out for the occasion. Here, Tom Vialle navigates one of the venue’s technical downhill rutted sections, highlighting the hard-pack nature of the circuit.

It was a heroic effort from Red Bull KTM’s Sacha Coenen, who raced just days after undergoing surgery on a broken collarbone. He finished eighth overall at Foxhills, collecting a valuable 34 championship points in his MX2 title pursuit.

However, Guillem Farres’ double moto victory, combined with second place in Saturday’s qualification race, saw the Triumph Factory Racing rider take control of the MX2 red plate. He now holds an 11-point advantage over Coenen with seven rounds remaining.

A piece of a tear-off became lodged in Tim Gajser’s eye on Saturday, making for one of the more unusual incidents of the weekend. The Slovenian rebounded on Sunday to finish third overall, splitting moto honours with defending world champion Romain Febvre.

A difficult weekend, triggered by a qualifying crash, saw Lucas Coenen’s MXGP championship lead reduced from 68 points to just 11. He retains the red plate, although the title fight has tightened considerably.

Just like that, a 1-1 performance has Jeffrey Herlings right back in the thick of the MXGP title fight.

Defending MX2 champion Simon Laengenfelder was in the mix throughout the Foxhills weekend, claiming victory in Saturday’s qualification race before recording 2-2 moto finishes on Sunday. Now just 42 points behind Farres, the German has worked his way back into the title fight after an early-season slump.

Romain Febvre earned his third successive podium on the weekend, with 3-2 moto results enough for second overall in Great Britain.

Following his high-profile exit from the Red Bull Ducati program, Swiss rider Jeremy Seewer signed with Van Venrooy KTM for the remainder of the MXGP season and made an immediate impression. He finished sixth overall at Foxhills – a significant improvement on his previous 2026 results. The comfort on the KTM is clearly there, and it will be interesting to see what he can achieve over the remaining seven rounds.

A 1-1 performance from six-time FIM Women’s Motocross world champion Kiara Fontanesi sees the Italian take over the WMX points lead with just two rounds remaining. The title fight continues to intensify!
