Febvre ended up taking sec-
ond overall, followed by Desalle,
Coldenhoff and Anstie.
"I felt good all weekend I must
say, we had a good weekend,"
Herlings said. "It is a great day for
the championship going 1-1 for
the full 50 points. My nearest rival
didn't have the best of GPs; he
crashed but I hope he is okay."
Cairoli said, "I stalled the bike
on the single jump and went
over the bars, I felt immediately
something with my knee, I don't
know what exactly it was but it felt
very weird. The priority now is to
check the knee and hopefully it is
not too bad so that I can finish the
season without any problems."
Herlings controls the MXGP
Championship with a class-lead-
ing 733 points. Next closest is
Cairoli with 675 and Desalle with
543.
In MX2, championship rivals
and Red Bull KTM teammates,
Jorge Prado and Pauls Jonass
traded moto wins, with Prado get-
ting the second-moto victory and
with it the overall.
Since both riders traded 1-2
moto finishes, the distance be-
tween the two KTM riders in the
championship remains the same,
with Prado leading Jonass by 28
points.
Third on the day went to Aus-
tralia's Hunter Lawrence (Honda)
with 5-3 moto finishes, and Ameri-
can Thomas Covington (Rockstar
Energy Husqvarna) was fourth
overall with 3-6 scores. CN
