If Jonass can manage to pick up 10 points on Seewer this com- ing weekend in the Netherlands, he will be the 2017 MX2 World Champion. CN MXGP 1. Jeffrey Herlings (KTM) 2-1 2. Eli Tomac (Kaw) 1-3 3. Antonio Cairoli (KTM) 3-2 4. Tim Gajser (Hon) 4-7 down his neck, the two chased Hampshire down, but ultimately the likable Aussie came up just one second short of Hampshire at the finish. "I just stole one of Weston Peick's energy gels out of the JGR truck! I needed it! Cheers for that, Weston!" Lawrence said. "I just rode on Australian heart and pride and gave it everything I had so I might get up on the podium. So, I'm super- pumped. But to be honest, I'm pretty rooted." The second moto represented the best moto finish of Lawrence's young GP career, and second overall is also a career-best. Hampshire, Lawrence and Covington made up the MX2 podium.
