AFYONKARAHISAR (Türkiye) 04 September 2026 – The 2026 MXGP FIM Motocross World Championships comes to the start
The FOX Holeshot finale

Red Bull IceOne Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Max Nagl will receive a cheque for €10,000 as winner of the FOX Holeshot competition in the MXGP class. Nagl has nailed 10 holeshots this season while the runner-up in the competition Antonio Cairoli has only taken 6. There are two more up for grabs here at the Monster Energy MXGP of The USA but even if Antonio was to take both it would only take his total to 8 which means Nagl is certain to leave with the cheque.
In MX2, Monster Energy DRT Kawasaki’s Max Anstie is leading with 6 holeshots. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings and Wilvo Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Aleksandr Tonkov also have 6 but both riders are out injured. If Max takes another holeshot this weekend, he will win the €5,000 cheque although it is also possible for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Pauls Jonass to nab the prize but he has to take both holeshots in Glen Helen this weekend.
