Round 15 of the MXGP World Championship took the series to Uddevalla for the MXGP of Sweden, with the hard-packed circuit providing another challenging weekend as the MXGP and MX2 title fights continued to unfold. Revisit the action through our Captured feature, highlighting the defining moments from the weekend in illustrated form.

The MX2 championship was thrown into turmoil in Sweden following Guillem Farres’ early exit from qualifying on Saturday, with the title contenders sensing an opportunity to maximize their points haul over the weekend.

Challenges continued for Calvin Vlaanderen’s 2026 season in Sweden, with the Red Bull Ducati rider’s return to racing resulting in 16th overall, including a DNF in race two.

It’s all going the way of Honda HRC Petronas at this stage of the season, with Jeffrey Herlings delivering a perfect weekend in Sweden and Tom Vialle joining him on the podium.

Second place in moto one and fourth overall marked a season-best result for Kawasaki Racing Team’s Pauls Jonass, providing a strong boost for the former MX2 world champion.

Sweden was another quietly impressive outing for Tom Vialle, who secured his fifth podium finish of his rookie MXGP campaign. There’s plenty to be excited about regarding the Frenchman’s future prospects.

A special ‘holeshot challenge’ took place in Uddevalla, featuring legends such as Ben Townley, Joel Smets, and Anders Eriksson, to name a few. A fitting tip of the cap to the riders who helped define the sport we know today.

Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Liam Everts claimed second overall in Sweden, securing his third podium finish of the 2026 MXGP season after recording five fourth-place results. After coming so close on several occasions, it must have been nice for the Belgian to break through and spray some champagne.

It was a weekend of damage control for Triumph’s Guillem Farres, with fourth overall a strong result that limited the damage after what could have been a far worse outcome. He now holds a 24-point championship advantage with four rounds remaining.
