HERLINGS, PRADO, KTM
DOMINATE LOMMEL MXGP
A
fter a couple weekends off,
the MX GP World Champi-
onships resumed in the sand of
Lommel, Belgium, August 5-6,
and the sand specialists came
out to play. Red Bull KTM's Jef-
frey Herlings (MXGP) and Jorge
Prado Garcia (MX2) took home
the win. For both, it was their
second overall victory of the
season.
Herlings, who always ex-
cels on the sand tracks, and at
Lommel, the Dutchman didn't
disappoint. In the first moto, he
passed his way by fellow Dutch
Red Bull KTM pilot Glenn Cold-
enhoff for the lead a few laps into
the race and sped away with the
win. Points leader Antonio Cairoli
grabbed second about five laps
later from Coldenhoff. Jeremy
Van Norebeek (Monster Energy
Yamaha) and Max Nagl Rockstar
Energy Husqvarna) rounded out
the top five.
In moto two, Cairoli got the
holeshot over Herlings, but
Herlings got by his teammate on
the opening lap. This time, Cairoli
charged back after Herlings,
but the Dutchman was just too
good on the day. Cairoli eventu-
ally backed it down for second
in front of Nagl's teammate Max
Anstie, Coldenhoff, and Mon-
