Jeffrey Herlings nears MXGP title at Türkiye Grand Prix

The 2026 MXGP FIM Motocross World Championship enters its final three rounds at the Afyon Motor Sports Center in Türkiye. Jeffrey Herlings, riding for Honda HRC PETRONAS, is positioned to potentially secure his sixth world title. Following a run of 14 consecutive victories, Herlings holds a significant lead over defending champion Romain Febvre and could mathematically clinch the championship as early as the first moto on Sunday.

The MX2 class remains highly competitive. Sacha Coenen and Guillem Farres are in a close battle for the title, with Farres trailing by 25 points. Additionally, Camden McLellan remains a factor in the championship contention. The event in Afyon marks a critical juncture for riders seeking to finalize their standings in the 2026 season.
