Round 6 of the 2026 AMA Pro Motocross Championship has arrived at one of the most unique venues on the outdoor calendar — The Wick 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts. Sand track racing is a world of its own and the 250 class opened the day with a Moto 1 that reminded everyone exactly why Southwick holds such a special place in American motocross history.

250 Class Moto 1 — Southwick

Sand racing separates the field in ways that no hard-pack track can. The deep New England sand at Southwick demands a completely different physical approach — the bike moves beneath you, the ruts are unpredictable, and the energy expenditure is on another level compared to anything else on the AMA Pro Motocross circuit. Riders who thrive in the sand have a massive advantage here and Moto 1 made that very clear from the opening lap.

One name worth watching closely at Southwick is Luca Coenen. European riders tend to feel right at home in the sand — it is a surface that is deeply familiar from the MXGP circuit — and Coenen is no exception. Moto 1 gave an early look at what the Belgian can do when the conditions suit his style.

Watch the full Moto 1 in the video above and see how the 250 class tackled the sand at Round 6 in Southwick.

Southwick and the 250 Championship

Six rounds into the 2026 outdoor season and the 250 championship is in full sprint mode. Southwick is a wild card round — the sand levels the playing field in unexpected ways and the results here do not always follow the form guide. That unpredictability makes it one of the most compelling rounds of the year for anyone following the title fight closely.
