In late July 2026 Dutch rider Kay de Wolf returned to the MXGP World Championship at the Loket circuit in the Czech Republic after missing three Grand Prix events due to injury. He posted the third‑fastest time in free practice, qualified seventh and moved up to sixth place in the first race before a crash forced his retirement from the second race.

A few days later, ahead of the Lommel round, de Wolf signed a multi‑year contract extension with the Nestaan‑run Husqvarna Factory Racing team, securing his place through at least 2027. The deal follows a season in which he earned two MXGP podiums despite thumb, finger and ankle injuries, and it maintains continuity for both de Wolf and his MX2 teammate Liam Everts.

Together, the two updates trace de Wolf’s comeback from injury to a reaffirmed long‑term commitment with his factory team as the 2026 motocross season progresses.
