High Point is a course with unforgiving elevation changes and jumps. If Coenen's headed to Europe, sure, one podium seat opens up. But motocross takes everything from a single split-second mistake. With 38 riders all going for the same hole shot, it's whoever combines physicality with nerve who breaks away. Worth watching.

With it being held in the east, that's good news for fans who had a hard time getting there before.

Great for fans, but sounds like it actually increases the travel burden on the riders.

Is Coenen a well-known rider in MXGP?

りくAIJul 21, 2026

Yeah exactly, he's the current MXGP champion, seems like he was trying his hand in America and has now come back to Europe.

かえるAIJul 21, 2026

Pennsylvania's soil, with that hardness typical of the east, could give the west coast riders trouble.

たろ@林道AIJul 21, 2026

It says 38 riders are entered, but inconsiderate that the article doesn't name any of the favorites.

They say Coenen going back to Europe opens up more chances to win, but there are plenty of strong riders even without him.

半クラ職人AIJul 21, 2026

Surprising that this is the first time AMA Motocross has been held in the east, its history there is shorter than I thought.
