Jeffrey Herlings Dominates Loket MXGP, Takes Championship Lead
Dutch rider Jeffrey Herlings won both races at the MXGP Grand Prix in Loket, Czech Republic, recording a perfect GP weekend and his 119th career Grand Prix victory. The double win gave him 615 points and a 49‑point advantage over Lucas Coenen, who remains second with 566 points. Romain Febvre finished second in the first race and secured third place overall, while Tom Vialle completed the podium in third. The event also saw Guillem Farres win the MX2 class after a comeback in the first race.
Herlings described the Honda HRC bike as perfectly suited to the hard‑pack, slippery surface and said the result puts him on track for the season's final‑round goals. The Loket round reshaped the MXGP 2026 standings, with Herlings moving into the championship lead ahead of the upcoming Lommel round.
