Lucas Coenen won the Ricky Carmichael Motocross of Nations Youngest Rider Award in 2023 and 2024 has been full throttle for the Nestaan Husqvarna MX2 rider. I sat down with Lucas following MXoN 2024 (which unfortunately didn’t end as it had started) and chatted about his 2024 season and his plans for the future. Lucas has been on a mission since day one, debuting in the 2016 European Motocross Championsionsip in the 65cc class, where he scored a point in the first race. The super chilled guy has no time to look back and has his eyes fixed on the future.
We talk about his 2024 season, dialling in the starts, and those all-important red plates. At the time of the interview, he couldn’t talk about his 2025 plans, but it’s now been announced that he is moving to the Red Bull KTM under the De Carli Racing team alongside Sacha. Looking further ahead, he discusses whether racing in USA and Supercross is on the agenda.
Special thanks to Lucas Coenen for the interview, and I wish you a speedy recovery.
