Kay de Wolf emerged as the strongest contender in the MX2 category at the MXGP of Spain. The rider finished in the top two in the races at intu Xanadú, earning the highest points overall.
In the first race, the Nestaan Husqvarna rider chased Simon Längenfelder (Red Bull GasGas) – who made the holeshot – for almost half the distance before overtaking the rival on the tenth lap. From then on, he led in every lap, finishing with a 3.331s gap. Lucas Coenen (Nestaa Husqvarna) was not far behind in third, with Liam Everts (Red Bull KTM) in fourth, less than a second away from the podium. Mikkel Haarup (Monster Energy Triumph) finished fifth.
The second race had different protagonists. Sacha Coenen (Red Bull KTM) made the holeshot and was leading after the opening lap before being passed by de Wolf. The Dutch rider stayed at the top until losing the position to Andrea Adamo (Red Bull KTM) on the seventh lap. Until the end, it was the Italian who prevailed, but without opening a significant gap: he won the race 1.744s ahead of Wolf. Längenfelder finished third, ahead of Lucas Coenen. Thibault Benistant (Monster Energy Yamaha) secured fifth place, more than 20 seconds behind Lucas Coenen.
In the overall classification of the MXGP of Spain in MX2, de Wolf was the winner with 47 points, five more than Längenfelder. Adamo completed the podium with 40 points, followed by Lucas Coenen and Everts in the top five.
