ARNHEM (Netherlands) 22 August 2025 – The 2025 FIM Motocross World Championships fires into deep sand for the last time this year at the MXGP of Netherlands from the Dutch heartland city of Arnhem, with the atmospheric Motorsportpark Gelderland Midden venue primed and ready for another frantic weekend of action which sees two home-grown World Champions in action for the crowd to get behind and make some noise doing so!
In the MXGP World Championship it’s French veteran Romain Febvre who holds a commanding lead over Lucas Coenen, but the pair who have won half of the GPs at this venue between them will battle hard in the sand, just like they did at Lommel, but they will have their work cut out to hold back a determined Jeffrey Herlings, who looks to be in top form again as he goes for an amazing 16th win on home territory!
2025 Dutch Nations team riders Glenn Coldenhoff and Calvin Vlaanderen are also fired up to justify their selection by grabbing what would be a first GP victory for either of them in The Netherlands!
The MX2 class is still clearly led by German star Simon Längenfelder, but reigning Champion Kay de Wolf heads to his home Grand Prix with an amazing record of seven GP race wins out of eight in sand this year, and for sure he will get the crowd up to full voice if he can continue that sort of form! Former Champ Andrea Adamo also needs to gain points at a track where the Italian scored a podium result last year.
