OOn the brand new mx circuit at the Lausitzling in Germany, Jeffrey Herlings and Tommy Searle became the first winners on the circuit. In scorching conditions, Herlings managed to stay ahead of his teammate Tixier and Glenn Coldenhoff.
In the MX1 class, victory went to Tommy Searle, who took his first win on the 450 machine. Searle narrowly defeated Gautier Paulin and Antonio Cairoli. Desalle finished fourth at just 4 seconds. Jeremy van Horebeek rode in fifth place for a while, but had to abandon the battle just before the halfway mark. So that will be close racing tomorrow!
