The Dutchman eventually muscled through, taking the moto win, while Längenfelder salvaged second to keep the points gap razor thin. In race two, Sacha Coenen grabbed the early lead with De Wolf and Längenfelder battling directly behind him. De Wolf’s machine sputtered to a halt just as Längenfelder surged past, effectively handing the German his long-awaited world title. For Längenfelder, who had finished third in each of the last three MX2 seasons, the breakthrough was emotional. Febvre brought the Kawasaki home in fourth, enough to clinch his second world title a decade after his first.
