Motocross World Championship

Now, Belgium.

Given how good Lucas was, Lucas Coonan, earlier on this year, how good Sasha Coonan was, they were both leading the MX2 and MXGP World Championship at the same time.

Irrespective of whether they went to the US or not to compete, one thing we do know is both riders aren't 100% at the moment.

And when you look at Liam Everts, who is probably the strongest rider out of the three coming into this Nations, based on his last five podiums, his race win at the final race of the season...

Welcome back, everyone, to another edition of the Liat LVK More Than Moto podcast.

I am Kellen Brower, joined by Lewis Phillips, and we are here to break down a little bit of breaking news that came this morning, as well as everything that's been going on in the world of motocross from the SMX playoff round to the end of the MXGP World Championship.

and everything in between, maybe even a little bit of WSX news to go over today as well.

But first off, Big Lou, how are you today on this lovely Tuesday, flying all the way back across the country after about nine days out here on the great left coast?

I get a weird kick out of spending a week in a hotel between races and just kind of chilling, you know? Like the Thursday when I'm not getting on a flight, I feel quite fulfilled and like I've hit a bit of a cheat code.

So I do actually quite like it.

My biggest regret from MXGP days is not doing that more in the different countries.

But alas... we all must live with regrets and whatnot.

On est pour le débrief du SMX de Los Angeles, deuxième des trois courses.

Et puis la finale du MXGP en Australie.

On est avec Mickael Pichon et Hugo Manzato.

Pas de Marvin Musquin aujourd'hui, il est en RTT.

Mais je trouve oui, il a fait sa meilleure course sur le sol américain depuis qu'il est là, ça cent pour cent.

Moi ce qui pour revenir un petit peu à ce que tu disais tout à l'heure, moi ce qui m'avait dérangé quand il est passé quand il est passé Kawa l'an dernier, c'est la manière dont il avait critiqué la la KT.

Ça, c'est ça qui m'avait le plus dérangé parce que je me dis putain le mec, il a été champion du monde deux et demi deux fois, je crois avec des champion du monde MXGP, il a gagné, je sais pas combien de grands prix.

Il a même fait des courses il y a deux ans en SX avec la KT où il avait pas du tout mal roulé.

So hopefully that's something we see in the future for sure.

Last question for me, MXGP at Darwin coming up next weekend.

We won't see either of your guys, you know, competing there.

That seemed a little bit odd to me, Dakar.

Well, Daka, it was great to catch up with you.

I know it's a very busy time of year.

Congratulations on obviously getting both of the guys into MXGP this year.

And congratulations with Jed Beaton and what he did alongside Aaron Tanty.

First ones even if they try

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the MXGP podcast show on VitalMX, wrapping up the penultimate round of the 2026 FIM Motocross World Championship.

Who would have thought that we would get here so quickly, still waiting for an MX2 champion to be crowned? But of course, Jeffrey Hurlings has long been your 2026 victor.

Shanghai hosted the penultimate round, round 18.

Plenty to discuss from that event, as well as some off-track news, manufacture news, injury news, calendar news.

Joining me to do all of that is Race19's Adam Wheeler.

to the likes of, uh, Australia and also Shanghai.

I think that's, that's pretty key.

I mean, obviously, I went over.

That's my only MXGP win was in Thailand.

Dude, you got to walk the streets, the amount of mopeds that are on the road.

But no, it's an interesting place, man.
