After a four-weekend break, the 2026 MXGP FIM Motocross World Championship fires back into action this weekend at the Circuit Georges Filhol, within the village of LaCapelle-Marival in the south-west of France.
For the first time in nearly five years, the MXGP of France will tear into this grassy circuit that saw a stunning day of racing and brilliant atmosphere back in 2021! The Honda HRC Petronas pairing of Jeffrey Herlings & Tom Vialle, both victorious here during the last visit to this circuit, have drawn closer to series leader Lucas Coenen, who now leads the MXGP World Championship for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing by just four points!
Vialle can count on some huge home crowd support this weekend, as will reigning World Champion Romain Febvre for Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP, and Swiss GP podium man Maxime Renaux for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP!
The MX2 class was also left in a precariously close position, as reigning MX2 World Champion Simon Längenfelder has been caught by his fellow Red Bull KTM Factory Racing pilot Sacha Coenen, the gap between them reduced to just three points with the Belgian’s win in Trentino! The local fans will be getting behind Mathis Valin, who took a podium for Kawasaki Racing Team MX2 behind Coenen and Guillem Farres for the Triumph Racing Factory Team. The Spaniard is third in points and urgently seeking his first GP victory.
