Is Sacha Coenen an up-and-coming star in MX2? First time seeing that name.

Apparently he's the younger of the Coenen brothers, from a motocross family.

Herlings has a track record of ultimately showing his strength on these kinds of tough tracks.

A tough track is exactly where experience makes the difference, so Herlings' strength here makes sense.

Herlings taking MXGP and Sacha Coenen taking MX2 — a set of wins that feels like a generational shift.
