Red Bull KTM factory rider, Lucas Coenen is out of the MXGP of Lommel and with Jeffrey Herlings looking on fire, it seems the points gap of 49 could turn into a points lead for Herlings of around 109 points, because the way Herlings looks, he could very easily go 1-1-1 this weekend.

Depending on how Romain Febvre does, who is also very fast in the sand this weekend, the Dutchman should be in good shape before the break and then heading to Sweden and The Netherlands, where he has every chance of making the points gap so big, that the final rounds in Turkey, China and Australia will be a lot easier on the mind.

Everyone wishes Lucas Coenen the best and we hope to see him back soon, but rumours around the paddock give you the feeling, that won't be any time soon.
