Description
The FIM Motocross World Championship moved into its first European round at the Circuito di Motocross di Almonte, where the primary challenge was the deep, demanding sand of the Andalucian track. For the 30-rider field, the objective was to master a surface that had become significantly more technical and rutted following the morning’s EMX sessions. Lucas Coenen entered the gate as the clear favorite after a dominant Saturday, looking to capitalize on his first-ever pole position in the premier class.
Strategically, the 30-minute plus two laps moto was a test of starting prowess and physical endurance. The objective for Tom Vialle and Jeffrey Herlings—both now under the Honda HRC Petronas banner—was to disrupt Coenen's rhythm early and force him into a high-intensity battle. With the sun beating down on the Spanish circuit, the tactical priority was energy conservation and finding the "smooth" lines through the rollers to avoid the arm pump that frequently plagues riders in the heavy Almonte sand.

Result Description
Lucas Coenen delivered a masterclass in sand riding to claim a convincing victory in the first MXGP moto of the Andalucia Grand Prix. While Tom Vialle secured the holeshot and led the pack through the opening two turns, Coenen executed a decisive outside pass on the third corner to take the lead. Once in clean air, the Belgian teenager checked out, setting a pace that no one else could match and eventually crossing the finish line 20.573 seconds ahead of his nearest rival.
The battle for the remaining podium spots was a high-speed game of cat and mouse. Jeffrey Herlings recovered from a shaky start that saw him nearly run off the track in Turn 2 to finish a lonely second, while Romain Febvre held off a late-race charge from Maxime Renaux to secure third. Tim Gajser, making his second start for Monster Energy Yamaha, struggled to find his flow early but rallied to finish sixth. Notable performances included Ben Watson, who brought the Dirt Store Triumph home in eighth, and Kay de Wolf, who finished tenth in his first competitive outing since returning from a hand injury.
