For the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship Coldenhoff was part of the Gas Gas racing team.[9] In the first round MXGP of Great Britain Coldenhoff finished sixth two times.[8] On 8 March he finished seventh overall in the MXGP of The Netherlands, having finished ninth in the first race and seventh in the second race.[8] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the schedule of the championship was changed. For the third round the Gas Gas team used new bikes.[9] On 9 August the MXGP of Latvia was held, in which Coldenhoff finished second in the first race and won the second race, finishing first overall. This was the first ever GP win of Gas Gas.[10] During the MXGP of Riga on 12 August Coldenhoff finished seventh in the first race but bruised several ribs in the second race and did not finish.[11][12] He had to drive the third round in Latvia (MXGP of Kegums) on pain killers.[13]

On 16 October 2020 during the qualification for the MXGP of Flanders Coldenhoff fell and broke two vertebrae.[14][15] The injury meant the end of the season for Coldenhoff.[16]
