Round 6 of the 2026 AMA Pro Motocross Championship marked an eventful outing for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing at Southwick, where Sacha Coenen swept the 250MX Class with a perfect 1-1 scorecard for the overall, while Julien Beaumer and Jorge Prado each recorded top-five finishes in demanding conditions.

Current MX2 World Championship leader Sacha Coenen featured in his second Pro Motocross appearance of the year in Massachusetts, qualifying fastest aboard the KTM 250 SX-F FACTORY EDITION before claiming a commanding Moto 1 victory by 33.411 seconds.

The 19-year-old was again the benchmark in Moto 2, overcoming a heavy late-race crash to secure victory and complete the overall win, making it three race victories from four starts in his American journey to date.

As a result of his incident in the final moto – before going on to take victory in the race – Sacha is due to undergo further medical evaluations on his shoulder to determine the extent of any potential injuries.

Following a strong start to his 2026 Pro Motocross campaign, Beaumer maintained his form in Round 6 at The Wick, qualifying seventh on his KTM 250 SX-F FACTORY EDITION before finishing fourth in Moto 1.

A determined ride in Moto 2 saw the 20-year-old produce a relentless charge from outside the top-20, climbing to fifth by race’s end to collect P5 overall for the weekend. ‘Juju’ is now tied for third in the 250MX standings entering Millville next.

Julien Beaumer: “I’m really strong and we’ve known that for [some time now]. Obviously, last weekend wasn’t great with two motos [coming from] 40th, but my riding was good today – I started that second moto around 30th, and just had to work through the pack. The bike is amazing, so we’ll keep plugging away and come back in Millville.”

Equipped with the KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION, Prado qualified second in the 450MX Class courtesy of a 1:55.139 lap-time as he and the team looked to build on their convincing podium result at RedBud one week ago.

The four-time world champion started inside the top-10 in Moto 1 before charging to fourth, while a third-place finish in Moto 2 saw the Spaniard capture fourth overall at Southwick. He’s ranked fourth in the 450MX championship after six rounds of racing.

Jorge Prado: “The first moto start held me up big time – as soon as I got to fourth place, the guys up front were already over 20 seconds away. But we started together in race two, I was just fourth right there the whole time, and I couldn’t do more than that. I tried my best and we pushed very hard in the last laps – Haiden [Deegan] did a good job, and we were ripping on the last lap. Third in the second moto is okay, we’ll keep improving, and hopefully soon we get back on top.”

Current MXGP points-leader Lucas Coenen topped 450MX qualifying at Southwick with a flying 1:53.903 lap-time, finishing more than one second clear of teammate Prado in second onboard his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION.

The 19-year-old then had his work cut out for him in Moto 1 after a first-turn crash, charging from near last to fourth in a remarkable recovery ride before a late-race fall ultimately resulted in a DNF. Following the incident, Coenen and the team made the difficult decision to sit out Moto 2.

Ian Harrison, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team Manager: “We’re super-proud of Sacha, he went 1-1 today – it’s an amazing result. He did end up having a crash and banging up his shoulder, and tomorrow he’s going to get some further evaluation on it, but I’m blown away because it was a superhero effort and a great ride by him. And then Lucas showed tremendous speed through practice, and then had a crash in the first moto and took a really hard hit. We got him and the bike back to the truck, and we’re checking the bike to make sure that there is nothing there, and he decided that he would not race for the rest of the day. I get it, next weekend he has a GP – he’s leading the championship – so I get that part, and I am glad they came over. They definitely tried their best, we can’t say that they held anything back, and it was a great day with them.”
