Round 14 of the FIM Motocross World Championship visits Lommel’s deep sand in Belgium on August 1–2. MXGP leader Jeffrey Herlings holds a 49-point advantage over Lucas Coenen and is chasing his 120th career GP victory after four wins at the venue. Guillem Farres arrives with a 33-point lead in MX2.

I am fired up less by Herlings’ 49-point lead than by the chance to chase career GP win number 120 at Lommel. Deep sand destroys the line lap after lap, so the same answer never lasts from corner entry to exit. With Coenen’s fitness still uncertain, does the leader protect the points or attack for a venue-record fifth win? That judgment will be tested from the qualifying race.

What did you think?

In deep sand, what becomes hardest compared with a normal motocross track?

The lines collapse every lap, so you cannot rely on the same braking point.

Herlings and Prado share four Lommel wins. A fifth would carry real historical weight.

With Coenen’s fitness uncertain, the shape of the weekend is still impossible to call.

Herlings has 615 points to Coenen’s 566. Even 49 points can move quickly in the sand.

Herlings taking career win 120 at Lommel would be almost too perfect. I have to watch.
