The damp conditions of recent days made way for glorious sunshine today as the Motocenter Zelta Zirgs played host to the MXGP of Latvia, round eight of the FIM Motocross World Championships, in front of full banks of spectators eager to cheer on their home riders, of which they had a full complement for the first time in many years!
It’s been threatening for some time, but today it finally happened! The Coenens finally became the first ever twin brothers to each win a Motocross Grand Prix on the very same day, and they are the first brothers to achieve the feat since Sebastien and Christophe Pourcel took victories in MX1 and MX2 at Faenza in Italy, on the 15th of July 2007, when Lucas and Sacha were only nine months old!
