Red Bull KTM factory rider, Jeffrey Herlings is just stealing one moto after the other and since his German GP win a few weeks ago, he has won just about everything, including todays MXGP qualification race. He did have a tough time as series leader, Romain Febvre hounded him for half the moto and finished just seconds off the pace of the Dutchman. Third was Glenn Coldenhoff.

Jeffrey Herlings: Yes, he (Febvre) is French and he is good on hard pack tracks. Good to get the qualification win, but its all about tomorrow, so lets see where we end up.

Championship points are now Romain Febvre 539 points, Lucas Coenen 510pts, Glenn Coldenhoff 370pts, Maxime Renaux 347pts, Ruben Fernandez 345pts.

MXGP Qualification Race

Coldenhoff with the holeshot, followed by Coenen, Gifting, Herlings, although Herlings into second with a pass on Coenen. Top ten was Coldenhoff, Herlings, Coenen, Febvre, Horgmo, Gifting, Fernandez, Vlaanderen, Bogers and Cairoli 10th. Febvre passed Coenen, and hoping to finaly gain points on the Belgian, rather than lose them, which has been the case the last couple of months. Fernandez passed Coenen and Horgmo just behind those two.

Lap one top ten was Herlings, who passed Coldenhoff, third was Febvre, then Fernandez, Coenen, Horgmo, Gifting, Vlaanderen, Bogers, and Geerts passed Cairoli for 10th place. Lap three it was Herlings with a 2.4 second lead from Coldenhoff, then Febvre, Fernandez, Coenen, Horgmo, Gifting, Vlaanderen, Bogers and Cairoli as Geerts drops well back after a mistake.

Febvre moved into second position with a pass on Coldenhoff and going after the leader, Herlings. The gap with nine minutes remaining was 2.7 seconds. Cairoli showing he still loves Matterley, as he moved past Gifting and Pancar into 10th spot. Gifting back to 12th. Lap six the lead by Herlings was just 1.9 seconds.

Febvre riding really well and still closing up on Herlings, and Coldenhoff in third some seven seconds off the leaders. Seewer into 10th as Cairoli again drops out of the top ten. Febvre not letting Herlings get away, but the Dutchman seems to be in control. Great riding by both front guys. Herlings wins from Febvre and Coldenhoff.
