RED-HOT BULLET
Can you think of a motocross racer who’s
made a more successful premier-class debut
than Jeffrey Herlings? After wrapping up his
third MX2 world title (and his 61st GP win)
the 22-year-old Dutchman made his highly
anticipated full-time switch to a 450SX-F to
contest the 2016 Motocross of Nations at
Maggiora in Italy; and what an impressive
debut it was. Herlings, or “The Bullet”, won
his Open-class Heat Race convincingly
before finishing second to America’s
Jason Anderson in the MX2/Open race, and
defeating his Italian teammate, Antonio
Cairoli, in the MXGP/Open race. The 2017
season might be months away, but the
likes of Slovakia’s Tim Gajser and France’s
Romain Febvre will certainly have their
work cut out in the off-season if they wish
to keep up with flying Herlings next year.
