The Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing Team is thrilled to announce that Kay de Wolf has clinched the 2024 MX2 World Championship title, following an incredible season-long campaign.

“It’s amazing! And on my birthday! I just have so many emotions about this result. This team has believed in me from the very beginning - back in 2018 when they signed me for the 85cc. They have continued to support me every single day. From the 125cc, to the EMX 250, and now in MX2, it’s been absolutely unreal. I couldn’t have done it without all the hard work from this team - they have done an amazing job! I did what I had to do today to make sure the result was secure. I got a good start in the second moto, grabbed the holeshot, and then just rode smoothly to reach the final flag. Thank you so much to all my friends, family, and the entire team around me - I’m super grateful. Thank you so much! I’ve got this gold plate finally in my hands - we are definitely going to celebrate this one for sure!”

De Wolf secured the title with a controlled but edge of the seat performance at the 20th and final round of the FIM Motocross World Championship in Spain, amidst an electric atmosphere at the challenging clay hard pack Cózar Motor Ranch, located around three hours south of Madrid. The Dutchman delivered two solid performances with 7-2 finishes - giving him fourth overall - to secure the championship with a 20 point lead over his Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing team mate Lucas Coenen.

With the title victory - which came on his 20th birthday - de Wolf achieved a significant milestone in his career, and continued to solidify his status as one of the sport’s brightest stars; having raced to seven overall wins as well as being the season-long Red Plate holder.

Completing the incredible result for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing, Lucas Coenen had done everything he could to narrow the gap throughout the final rounds of the season, taking five wins in the last six races of the year - bringing his total victory tally of 2024 to nine wins and 13 podiums. At the MXGP of Castilla La Mancha, Coenen also took perfect 1-1-1 wins across qualifying and both motos, however the deficit to De Wolf put the title just out of reach.

"It’s tough to come so close and miss out on the title by just 20 points, but I’m incredibly proud of the way I raced this season. Winning the final round and having such a strong run of victories throughout the year shows what we’re capable of. I have to thank my team for all their hard work and support—they believed in me every step of the way. We’ll take all the positives from this season and come back even stronger next year!"
