says it is thrilled to announce that Kay de Wolf has clinched the 2024 MX2 World Championship title , following an incredible season-long campaign . 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 . The Dutchman delivered solid 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 .
