The 2024 FIM Motocross World Motocross Championships started its 20th and final round today in glorious sunshine at the Cozar Motor Ranch in southern Spain, as a technical racetrack with a drying red clay surface presented a tough challenge for the riders in the RAM Qualifying Races at the MXGP of Castilla La Mancha.
Looking to tie up his second straight MXGP world title this weekend, his first to be decided at the final round and in his home country, Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing star Jorge Prado kept all of his fans happy with a trademark holeshot to chequered flag win, giving him just a tiny bit more breathing room for tomorrow’s races over his Championship challenger Tim Gajser, who was third for Team HRC.
The MX2 race started with a multi-rider crash in the turn one, but in-form Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing pilot Lucas Coenen was already in the lead and looking uncatchable, although his teammate and series leader Kay de Wolf kept calm and delivered a fine third place finish to maintain a healthy advantage in the points table.
