Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s superb 2025 MXGP continued with more outstanding results at the historic Loket circuit for the Grand Prix of Czech Republic this past weekend. Lucas Coenen rode his 450 SX-F to 1st place for the second meeting in a row and for his tenth podium at round 14 of 20: the first meeting of a fresh double header. In the MX2 class championship leader Simon Laengenfelder got back in the groove with victory ahead of Andrea Adamo; both on the conquering KTM 250 SX-F.
- Lucas Coenen came to Loket 15 points away from the red plate and slimmed the difference to 10 thanks to MXGP victory for fourth time in his rookie premier class season
- Simon Laengenfelder wins for the fourth time in 2025 and extends his championship cushion over Andrea Adamo to 47 points as the Italian finishes runner-up for his ninth podium
- All MX2 Red Bull KTM riders fill positions in the final top four as Sacha Coenen takes P4 overall. Elsewhere Jeffrey Herlings is on the recovery path from a broken right collarbone
- Loket precedes the usual back-to-back race swing with the Belgian GP and the deep sand of Lommel next on the agenda
Lucas Coenen, 1st and 2nd for 1st overall in MXGP: “Happy to be 1st and gain some points. Physically I felt really good, and I was pushing but I knew this track would be tricky: you can lose a lot here. I’m happy to win but not so much with the second moto because I lost time…but we showed we have the speed. It’s good for the confidence, and now my home GP is coming. We’re closing [the gap] in the championship, and we’ll keep pushing until the end.”
Simon Laengenfelder, 1st and 2nd for 1st overall in MX2: “The first moto was a holeshot win but for the second one I had to fight. The track was so slippery and I really had to push. I took some stones…but I made my passes even if it wasn’t easy to find new lines. I think this is my first ‘overall’ without going 1-1 this season but it’s still nice! Good to bounceback from Finland.”
Andrea Adamo, 5th and 1st for 2nd overall in MX2: “A little bit of a struggle this weekend. Not the best start in the first moto, then I crashed and had to find my way back. I think I did quite good to finish where I was but in the second moto did what I really had to do. Super! Let’s keep going like this. There are many GPs still to go.”
Sacha Coenen, 2nd and 8th for 4th overall in MX2: “Not the best starts this weekend and my riding was mixed: good on Saturday but not great in the first moto, even though I came back to 2nd place. My flow was better in the second moto but I was almost last after the start! P4, not much more to say. Now we’re looking forward to our home GP and we’ll give our all.”
