THE TITANS HIT TEUTSCHENTHAL FOR THE LIQUI MOLY MXGP OF GERMANY!

The 2026 FIM Motocross World Championships head to the iconic Talkessel circuit in Teutschenthal for the Liqui Moly MXGP of Germany, marking the 29th time this historic venue has hosted the event. The atmosphere is set to be electric, especially with a native reigning World Champion competing in the men’s classes for the first time. The circuit boasts a rich history, with legends like Joel Robert and Antonio Cairoli having triumphed here, while current top contenders Jeffrey Herlings and Tim Gajser have multiple victories to their names at this venue. The MXGP World Championship battle remains intensely close, with Red Bull KTM’s young talent Lucas Coenen holding a slender two-point lead over Honda’s Jeffrey Herlings, who famously overtook Coenen here last year to claim the GP win. Reigning World Champion Romain Febvre of Kawasaki is positioned third in the standings but faces a significant 55-point deficit to Coenen. Meanwhile, Monster Energy Yamaha’s Tim Gajser and Honda’s Tom Vialle are also in the mix, both eager to close the gap and improve their championship prospects as the season progresses. In the MX2 category, Simon Längenfelder returns to defend his red plate on home soil, now wearing the number one plate as reigning World Champion. He faces a tight chase from fellow Red Bull KTM rider Sacha Coenen and Triumph’s Guillem Farres, who recently secured his maiden GP victory. The EMX250 European Championship also resumes after a break, with Francisco Garcia maintaining a strong lead, while German rider Leon Rudolph looks to make an impact in front of the home crowd. The Women’s Motocross World Championship celebrates its 20th anniversary of world status at Teutschenthal, the circuit that has hosted more WMX rounds than any other. The championship points are tied between Spain’s Daniela Guillen and Italy’s Kiara Fontanesi, the latter having won twice at this venue, including last year. Veteran Larissa Papenmeier marks a milestone with her 100th WMX round this weekend and remains a potential podium contender, adding further intrigue to the women’s competition. As the championship moves into its seventh round, the Teutschenthal GP offers a crucial opportunity for riders who struggled in France to regain momentum, while others aim to consolidate their positions. The close battles across all classes promise thrilling racing, with the historic Talkessel circuit once again providing a fitting stage for the sport’s top talents to showcase their skills.
