Red Bull KTM Factory rider Jorge Prado has won the MX2 qualification race at the Grand Prix of China. The Spanish teenagers finished ahead of fellow Red Bull KTM rider Tom Vialle and HRC rider Calvin Vlaanderen.

The start of the MX2 qualification race it was Prado who led Vialle, Renaux, Vlaanderen, Evans, Geerts, Olsen, Sterry, Moreau, and Harrison. After a lap Renaux had moved into second place, but Vialle was quickly back into the second spot. Geerts had moved into fourth place passing both Vlaanderen and Evans, Vlaanderen was up to seventh, and Harrison was up to ninth place.

Van De Moosdijk made a mistake and dropped to 15^th place, and up front Prado had extended his lead to two seconds over Vialle, with Renaux third. Vialle wasn’t giving up in second place as he hounded Prado, the two KTM riders moving well away from Geerts who had moved into third when he passed Renaux.

Five laps in and Prado and Vialle remained in close combat, with Geerts third, Vlaanderen fourth and Renaux fifth. The remaining top ten were Evans, Sterry, Moreau, Harrison and Olsen. On lap six Vlaanderen passed Geerts for third place.

Prado began to make a gap between himself and Vialle and Olsen moved past Harrison for ninth place. Geerts went down hard and lost a bunch of places, eventually getting up in eight position. Prado eventually won it from Vialle and Vlaanderen.
