Although the sun hid behind the clouds for most of GP race day at Matterley Basin, the stars of MXGP shone through with a brilliant showcase of flat-out Motocross at the MXGP of Great Britain, the 12th round of the 2025 FIM Motocross World Championships!
With the track crew battling an eternally drying surface that was subject to both sunshine and strong winds, the riders responded with maximum effort all round, and it was the Championship leaders in both classes that prevailed with some flawless riding to strengthen their positions as red plate holders!
Romain Febvre bounced back from third in race one to dominate race two and clinch his fourth GP win of the season for Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP, while Lucas Coenen took second overall yet again for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. Matterley Basin also saw a podium return for Glenn Coldenhoff, after clinching the first ever race win in the opener for Fantic Factory Racing MXGP!
MX2 saw the completion of a perfect weekend for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Simon Längenfelder, showing patience to fight through the field in race one before enjoying a gate-to-flag victory in race two. Liam Everts had his best result for some time with second overall for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing, with Längenfelder’s teammate Sacha Coenen in third.
Once more the natural amphitheatre of Matterley Basin challenged the very best in front of an enthusiastic crowd, who will surely be back for more in years to come. The Championship takes the next two weekends off before the MXGP of Finland on the 12th & 13th of July. Who will cope with a brand-new circuit better than the rest? Let’s keep a close eye, to find out!
