Lucas Coenen (born 9 November 2006)[1] is a Belgian professional Motocross racer. Coenen has competed in the Motocross World Championship since 2022 in the MX2 class.
Coenen made his debut in the European Motocross Championship in 2016 within the 65cc class where he scored a point in the first race. He returned to this class the following season, with a sixth in race once giving him thirteenth overall. By 2019, Coenen, along with his brother, had progressed to the 85 class. He scored points in both the European and World Championships for his class that season.
For the 2021 European Motocross Championship, Coenen made his full time move to the EMX125 class after being signed by BUD Racing Kawasaki.[2] Despite his young age, Coenen was able to rapidly adapt to the class. By round three he was able to finish on the podium for the first time, repeating this at the following round in France. He would go on to win two of the final three rounds of the season and finish an eventual third in the championship.[3] In addition to this, Coenen was crowned champion in the Junior class of the French Elite Motocross Championship.
250 Careeredit
Following his strong performance in 2021, Coenen was signed up by the Jumbo Husqvarna BT Racing Team to move straight up to the EMX250 class.[4] Coenen was again able to make an instant impact on the class, finishing second overall at round two. As the season wore on, Coenen became a dominant force in the class, winning three of the last four rounds and seven out of the eight races within that. Coupled with these results, Coenen made his MX2 World Championship debut in the Czech Republic, scoring points in the second race.
Coenen was signed by the Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing Team for the 2023 FIM Motocross World Championship season in the MX2 class.[5] He made an immediate impact on the class, recording multiple top-tens in the opening rounds. By round seven, he was able to take his first world championship-level race win at the French Grand Prix. Three rounds later, in Indonesia, Coenen would win both races to take his first overall Grand Prix win.[6] Two more overall podiums followed, including a race win in The Netherlands and despite not starting either races in Sweden, he finished fifth in the final standings in his debut season. Following this, he made his debut at the Motocross des Nations, helping Belgium to fifth overall and picking up the Ricky Carmichael Youngest Rider award individually.
