After a weekend of changeable weather before Grand Prix Sunday, the sun shone on the brutal beauty of Lommel today as the massed banks of fans enjoyed a stunning day of racing around one of the very toughest circuits in the world, and as usual the MXGP of Flandersdelivered some epic confrontations and impeccable performances for the 15th round of the 2025 FIM Motocross World Championships!
Despite the differing conditions, the overall GP winners were the same as in Saturday’s Qualifying Races, but it was nowhere near as straightforward for Lucas Coenen, who rebounded from defeat in a first race showdown with Romain Febvre to claim overall victory at Lommel for the first time in his GP career, taking his fifth Grand Prix win in the Premier class for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing!
Febvre was able to match the young Belgian for points today, however, with a 1-2 scorecard keeping the Championship leader’s red plate on the front of Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP machine for the next round. Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP rider Calvin Vlaanderen scored his second podium of the season in a fine display of sand riding.
The MX2 class saw complete domination from Kay de Wolf, as the reigning Champ led nearly every lap for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing to complete a perfect 1-1-1 weekend and lift himself up to second in the World Championship.
Camden McLellan was again supremely strong in the sand as he posted 2-3 finishes for second overall, his second podium of the year for Monster Energy Triumph Racing, while Sacha Coenen was the top man for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing with an amazingly hard-fought third overall, his seventh podium appearance of the year.
The twists and turns of the GP were just as much of a rollercoaster as the gruelling Lommel circuit itself, and the huge crowd of hardcore Motocross enthusiasts from the nation with more World Champions than any other gave the 2025 MXGP of Flanders a fantastic atmosphere to match the epic racing!
