Husqvarna 1-2 in MX2
By Team TMX on 30th Sep 24
Husqvarna Factory Racing pulled off a dominant 1-2 in the final series standings of the FIM MX2 Motocross World Championship with Kay de Wolf celebrating his 20th birthday by taking the title for the very first time. Belgian teammate Lucas Coenen signed off a very successful 2024 by winning both motos – and Saturday’s RAM Qualifying Race – of the MXGP of Castilla La Mancha – hs ninth GP win of the season.
“It’s amazing! And on my birthday too,” enthused De Wolf. “I just have so many emotions about this result. This team has believed in me from the very beginning - back in 2018 when they signed me for the 85cc. They have continued to support me every single day. From the 125cc, to the EMX 250, and now in MX2, it’s been absolutely unreal. I couldn’t have done it without all the hard work from this team - they have done an amazing job!
“I did what I had to do today to make sure the result was secure. I got a good start in the second moto, grabbed the holeshot, and then just rode smoothly to reach the final flag. Thank you so much to all my friends, family, and the entire team around me - I’m super grateful. Thank you so much! I’ve got this gold plate finally in my hands - we are definitely going to celebrate this one for sure!”
"It’s tough to come so close and miss out on the title by just 20 points, but I’m incredibly proud of the way I raced this season,” said Coenen. “Winning the final round and having such a strong run of victories throughout the year shows what we’re capable of. I have to thank my team for all their hard work and support—they believed in me every step of the way. We’ll take all the positives from this season and come back even stronger next year!"
