MXGP Germany: Consistent points haul keeps de Wolf and Everts on track

Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing secured valuable championship points at the seventh round of the 2026 FIM Motocross World Championship held at Teutschenthal, Germany. Kay de Wolf achieved a consistent performance in the MXGP class, finishing fifth overall, while Liam Everts battled challenging conditions to claim eighth place in the MX2 category. The event, hosted at the iconic Talkessel circuit, tested riders with a shift from dry and sunny weather on Saturday to rain and muddy, technical terrain on race day, adding complexity to the competition. De Wolf, in his rookie MXGP season, demonstrated steady progress with two fifth-place finishes across the motos. Starting races from mid-pack positions, he managed to maintain composure and pace, narrowly missing higher placements due to minor errors. His performance elevated him to sixth in the MXGP World Championship standings, reflecting a positive trajectory as he continues to adapt to the premier class. Meanwhile, Everts faced difficult starts in both MX2 races, compounded by poor visibility from mud roost and deteriorating track conditions, but he showed resilience by steadily advancing through the field to secure seventh-place finishes in each moto. Both riders expressed cautious optimism following the event. De Wolf acknowledged the fluctuating weather and challenging track but highlighted the importance of consistent points and gradual improvement in the championship. Everts recognised that his speed was better than his results suggested and emphasised the significance of fighting through adversity to maintain a strong championship position. Their comments underline a focus on momentum and learning as the team prepares for the upcoming MXGP of Latvia, where the sandy terrain will present a new set of challenges. The results from Teutschenthal further solidify the competitive landscape of the 2026 season. Lucas Coenen dominated the MXGP class with two moto wins and the overall victory, while Mathis Valin and Sacha Coenen shared honours in MX2. Nestaan Husqvarna’s riders remain well placed in their respective championship standings, with de Wolf sixth in MXGP and Everts holding fourth in MX2. The team’s consistent points haul at this demanding venue underscores their potential to contend strongly as the season progresses towards the Latvian round and beyond.
