The 2026 MXGP World Championship resumed at Lacapelle-Marival in France this past weekend, with the historic circuit welcoming grand prix competition for the first time in five years. Unpack round six with our Captured content feature, which defines a series of moments and narratives that shaped the event in illustration form.

Triumph Factory Racing is firmly in the MX2 title fight, with Guillem Farres and Camden McLellan sitting P3 and P5 in the standings following the 1-2 at the French round.

Another moto win for Lucas Coenen, the young Belgian claiming his sixth of the 2026 season on the way to P2 overall while continuing to protect the MXGP red plate.

Sacha Coenen had the speed from the gate drop in race one, but a pair of crashes after securing the holeshot proved costly in the MX2 overall picture.

Chaos unfolded at the start of MXGP moto two, with a major first-turn incident bringing out the red flag and ruling both Maxime Renaux and Tim Gajser out of the restart.

Jeffrey Herlings continued his charge at Lacapelle-Marival, backing up a qualifying race win with 2-1 moto finishes to move within two points of the MXGP red plate.

High temperatures and brutal track conditions pushed the field to its limits in France, with reigning MX2 world champion Kay de Wolf left exhausted post-race.

The French fans also welcomed the opening round of the 2026 Women’s Motocross World Championship, where Daniela Guillen claimed the overall ahead of Kiara Fontanesi after the pair split race wins.

With the Lacapelle-Marival round only three hours from Venum Bud Racing Kawasaki’s team base, Francisco Garcia made a wildcard appearance during a break from his EMX250 campaign, with Australian teammate Jake Cannon also lining up in France.
