MXGP Trentino: De Wolf holeshots Pietramurata while Everts secures points in MX2

Kay de Wolf marked a significant milestone at the MXGP of Trentino by securing his first-ever holeshot in the MXGP class and finishing fourth overall. Despite a crash in the opening race that set him back, De Wolf demonstrated resilience by recovering to seventh place before delivering a strong second moto where he led early and narrowly missed the podium. His performance at the technical Crossodromo Ciclamino circuit, nestled in the Dolomites, showcased his growing competitiveness in the premier class, lifting him to eighth in the championship standings. In the MX2 category, Liam Everts faced a challenging weekend but managed to secure seventh overall after a determined recovery in the second race. Everts started well, qualifying fifth and maintaining a solid pace in race one to finish fourth. However, a crash in race two while running in third dropped him to the back of the pack, forcing a hard-fought charge back to ninth. Despite the setbacks, Everts’ consistent speed and mental fortitude were evident, and he remains fourth in the MX2 championship. The Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing team left Trentino with encouraging signs of progress, particularly from De Wolf’s front-running speed and Everts’ tenacity under difficult conditions. Both riders acknowledged the challenges of the tight, technical circuit and the impact of wet conditions early in the day but expressed confidence in their development. De Wolf highlighted the confidence gained from battling at the front, while Everts looked forward to a recovery period ahead of the next round. Looking ahead, the team will use the upcoming month-long break to regroup before returning to competition at the MXGP of France in Lacapelle-Marival on 23-24 May. The results in Trentino suggest that both riders are closing the gap to the leaders and gaining valuable experience that could translate into stronger performances as the season progresses. With momentum building, Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing aims to continue its upward trajectory in the highly competitive 2026 FIM Motocross World Championship.
