2026 MXGP of the Netherlands in Arnhem

Overview

The 2026 FIM Motocross World Championship arrived at Motorsportpark Gelderland Midden near Arnhem for the MXGP of the Netherlands, serving as the final stop in mainland Europe for the season.

Jeffrey Herlings dominated the event, securing a perfect weekend with victories in both motos to maintain his significant championship lead. Competing for Honda, Herlings also won the qualifying race. While he faced challenges from Kay de Wolf during the main event, Herlings secured the win, leaving him with a substantial 143-point lead over his closest rival, Romain Febvre. This margin allows Herlings the opportunity to mathematically clinch his sixth MXGP world title at the upcoming event in Afyonkarahisar, Turkey, on September 6.

Kay de Wolf finished second overall after a notable recovery following an early fall, while Tom Vialle took third. Glenn Coldenhoff concluded his Grand Prix career with a fifth-place finish.

In the WMX class, defending champion Lotte van Drunen achieved a perfect weekend on home soil, winning both races and moving up to third in the championship standings.

Slovenian riders experienced mixed results; Tim Gajser secured a podium position in the first moto after finishing eighth in qualifying, while Jan Pancar finished 18th. In the MX2 category, Liam Everts claimed victory in the qualifying race after Sasha Coenen fell while leading.
