The Crossodromo Communicale “Le Dune” circuit on the island of Sardegna played host to an amazing day of racing for the fourth round of the FIM World Motocross Championships, and in mercifully cooler conditions the top riders were able to push to their maximum on the shifting sands! In both classes the overall podium was in doubt right until the final corner of the second race in a stunning display of all-out Motocross racing.
The MXGP class saw a combination of youth and experience at the top of the field, with rookie Red Bull KTM Factory Racing sensation Lucas Coenen winning race one. It was the veterans who prevailed in the end, however, with Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP leader Romain Febvre clinching his first Grand Prix victory since August 2023, with Glenn Coldenhoff claiming second overall for Fantic Factory Racing ahead of Honda HRC’s Tim Gajser.
The MX2 class was another mighty tussle with many twists and painful turns, although the result was the expected one as Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s reigning World Champion Kay de Wolf took his second win of the campaign with a perfect 1-1 Sunday to reclaim the Championship Leader’s red plate. Monster Energy Triumph Racing took their first trophy of the season with Camden McLellan finishing second overall ahead of Andrea Adamo, who scored his first podium in Sardegna for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing.
For the enthusiastic fans who came to Riola Sardo, it was a Grand Prix full of action and emotion in the shifting sands!
