Interview: Lucas Coenen

Young star speaks after a tough weekend in Lombok dealing with illness.

Published

Although 16-year-old MX2 star Lucas Coenen couldn’t replicate his remarkable showing at Sumbawa, where he claimed his first overall victory in fine style due to getting sick in the lead-up to Lombok, he battled on valiantly in the testing conditions to go 7-5 for seventh overall.

The Nestaan Husqvarna sensation spoke with MX Vice Editor Ed Stratmann afterwards to share his thoughts on a tough weekend.

Question: Talk us through your weekend, it looked like a tough one as you were sick? How hard was it with the heat and probably having no energy?

Lucas Coenen: Yeah, for sure, Lombok was a really difficult weekend, I got sick around Thursday and this didn’t help me for the weekend at all. So Saturday was really difficult with the qualifying race and the temperature also because I didn’t do so many laps, as after 10 minutes all my energy was gone – so I was in survival mode. And Sunday, in the first moto I tried to hang in there with all I had, but the energy was lost after 15 minutes so I finished in P7.

Then in the second moto, I got off to a not so bad start and tried to hang on and had some good battles. But yeah, it was also difficult with the heat in the second, but got to battle with those guys and finished P5. This was not so bad, but I didn’t feel good at all so now Loket is next. 

Q: When did you get sick ahead of the race in Lombok and are you feeling better now?

LC: Yeah, I got sick overnight between Wednesday and Thursday. And now I’m still not 100% yet, but I will get 100% for sure for Loket.

Q: What did you think of the track at Lombok?

LC: I struggled a lot with the track also because I was sick. But it was not an easy track for sure, it is a track a bit like Argentina. It had really soft parts and there were no lines so it’s difficult to keep a good flow. I think I need to improve a bit on these tracks.

Q: How was the tourist stuff while you were in Indonesia and how were the fans there?

LC: Yeah, it was okay, but I could say it was a long one. The first week was okay and then the second week was really long because, yeah, I missed being home with the dog and everything. Yes, Sumbawa was not so bad, then Lombok began to be quite long and for sure when you get sick, it gets long as hell. And yeah, the fans were quite happy that we made a race there so it was nice to go there. But two weeks was a bit long, but that’s the plan. So yeah, the fans were very good and now we’re back home.

Q: How happy are you to be heading home?

LC: Yeah, it’s really good to be back home. It was not so good food and you no needed to watch out for so many things like the water, the showering and everything. I’m happy to be back home.

Q: What are your plans to prepare for Loket – recover, some riding and relax?

LC: Yeah, the plans are to do some training like always, and training physically and everything to get back in shape as best as possible to be ready for Loket.
