Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s superb 2025 MXGP continued with more outstanding results at the historic Loket circuit for the Grand Prix of Czech Republic this past weekend. Lucas Coenen rode his 450 SX-F to 1st place for the second meeting in a row and for his tenth podium at round 14 of 20: the first meeting of a fresh double header. In the MX2 class championship leader Simon Laengenfelder got back in the groove with victory.

The first MXGP outing belonged to Coenen after the rookie gated well and led the entire 30 minutes and 2 laps. The gap over his next nearest pursuer was 16 seconds and the performance signified his eleventh P1 of the year. In the second dash the Belgian slotted into 3rd during the opening stages and took his time to move to P2 where he remained as the race clock ran down. The 1-2 for the day was good enough for overall triumph: the fourth MXGP spoils of his fledgling career, and means he ties with Romain Febvre on the most wins in 2025. Lucas appeared in the podium ceremony for the ninth Grand Prix in a row.
Simon Laengenfelder fronted a static first MX2 moto from the first lap until the last. He was followed across the line by Sacha Coenen with Adamo in P5. The next outing was owned confidently by Adamo whose bright start helped the #80 KTM 250 SX-F pull free. Red Bull KTM ruled both MX2 motos for the sixth time this season (Laengenfelder now on eight checkered flags and Adamo with six for 2025). Laengenfelder’s distant P2 meant a 1-2 scorecard therefore his fourth GP victory and eighth podium of the term, extending his championship lead over his Italian teammate by 47 points. The result marked a pleasant return to the champagne spray after his P5 in Finland. Adamo now has nine trophies for the year; just 2 away from the 11 he posted in 2023 and his title-winning campaign. Coenen was P8 due to a chaotic start and ranked P4 overall. Loket was also the fourth Grand Prix in 2025 where Red Bull KTM filled 1-2 positions on the rostrum.
