MXGP of China (Shanghai Preview)

Jeffrey Herlings, the newly crowned 2026 MXGP World Champion, shares the record for the most GP wins in China with Jorge Prado, having triumphed in two of the three MXGP races held so far at this circuit, including a 1-1 double last year. The Petronas Honda HRC rider, who will turn 32 on the Saturday of the race, will certainly not be taking it easy, as he aims to reach 100.25 GP victories by the end of the season. The MX2 World Championship is not yet decided, but Spain’s Guillem Farres has significantly strengthened his position at the Turkish Grand Prix, securing his sixth career victory with the Triumph Racing Factory Team. The British manufacturer now holds a one-two in the standings, thanks to the performance of Camden McLellan, who capitalised on a difficult weekend for Sacha Coenen. The Belgian now trails the South African by ten points, who in turn is 50 points behind Farres.
