Cycle News Staff | June 2, 2025

Round 10 of the FIM Motocross World Championship marked the series’ halfway point, as the Liqui Moly MXGP of Germany took place at the historic Teutschenthal circuit. Conditions were split 50/50, with rain soaking the track after the first motos and creating a tricky race surface for those battling at the front of the pack. Two teammates once again claimed overall victories as Jeffrey Herlings returned to the top step while Andrea Adamo won the MX2 division and took over the championship points lead.

The MXGP rookie, Lucas Coenen, has been coming on strong as of late, and he once again started up front in race one. Prime conditions saw the KTM rider lead from the start while his teammate Herlings slotted into second. Points leader Romain Febvre started up front with the lead group but made a costly mistake and dropped back outside the top five. He rebounded but couldn’t crack into podium territory. Herlings applied pressure late in the race, but at the line, Coenen claimed victory over Herlings and Calvin Vlaanderen. Febvre crossed fourth.

Rains during the intermission soaked the track, and racers were greeted with much slicker conditions for the second race. Still, Coenen crossed the holeshot line first with rivals Febvre and Herlings closely in tow.

The top three stayed close for the opening half of the race before Febvre found himself stuck behind a lapper. Herlings waited patiently to make a pass and pounced on this opportunity to move to second in the running order. He held on, and with two laps to go, made an aggressive pass to push his teammate Coenen out of the race lead. Herlings took the race win, and his 2-1 finishes earned him the overall victory, the 108th of his career. Coenen flip-flopped results with Herlings and finished second overall, with Febvre taking the final spot on the podium. The Kawasaki rider still leads Coenen by 36 points in the overall standings.

“When I came back in Sardinia, I was just a couple days on the bike and almost got lapped by Lucas [Coenen] and Tim [Gajser],” Herlings said. “Now, two months later, I won. So, I’m thankful for that. The second race was tough. You had to save your vision while trying to pass, and there weren’t many good lines because everyone took the dry ones. But I managed to pass Romain and Lucas, win the race and the overall.”

The MX2 division is still up for grabs as the championship lead continues to change hands. Coming into Germany, Simon Laengenfelder held the red plate as he raced in front of his home country.

Race one saw Sacha Coenen grab another holeshot with his teammate Andrea Adamo and qualifying winner Valerio Lata in the front pack. The two KTMs of Coenen and Adamo battled closely for the first half of the race, with Adamo sealing a pass on lap eight of 18. Coenen stayed close, and the two finished only one second apart at the checkers. Behind them, points leader Laengenfelder had his hands full with Thibault Benistant. The German rider found a late-race charge and passed to third in the closing laps to make it a Red Bull KTM podium sweep. Despite his charge, Laengenfelder still lost valuable points to race winner Adamo.

Race two saw muddy conditions, but Coenen still came away with another holeshot, his seventh of the season. The young Belgian took the lead and controlled the race as the laps wore on. Meanwhile, the battle for the overall podium was on as three riders all sat tied for a spot on the box. Benistant, Valerio Lata and Laengenfelder were all further back in the pack, struggling for every position.

With Coenen up front, Spanish rider Guillem Farres started second and looked comfortable in the slick conditions. He rode a smart race and found himself in the lead on the final lap once Coenen crashed spectacularly off the track and out of the top spot. This shook up the overall podium as Farres went on to take the race win and second overall. Kay de Wolf held on for second, with Adamo crossing the line third and taking the overall win in the process. Late-race crashes for Coenen, Lata and Benistant gave de Wolf the edge for the final podium position. Adamo’s win also gave him the red plate in the series points, as he now leads by three over Laengenfelder.

“I won race one, and that was really important, but in race two I knew I had to ride smart,” Adamo said. “I didn’t get the holeshot and was around fourth, and in these conditions, it’s more about managing the situation than taking big risks. I stayed calm, controlled the race, and brought home the overall win, and with it, the red plate. It was a great weekend, I couldn’t ask for more.” CN
