Jeffrey Herlings dominates in England!!!
Jeffrey Herlings was able to win the British Grand Prix in a very convincing manner. Herlings dominated from the first round and won both series in Matterley Basin. In addition to winner Herlings, Tonus and Gajser were placed on the podium as numbers two and three. Also striking was the excellent performance of our compatriot Damon Graulus, who finished eighth in the final standings of the Grand Prix.
Jeffrey Herlings cannot be kept…
It was José Butron who took the holeshot ahead of Tixier and Guillod. Jeffrey Herlings was also in a good position and took the lead before the end of the first lap. So Herlings immediately left for yet another solo race. Behind Herlings we still had a duel for second place, but it was his teammate Jordi Tixier who came out on top and thus completed the Red Bull KTM Team's success. Third place went to the strongly encouraged home rider Max Anstie who just finished ahead of Tim Gajser and Arnaud Tonus. Our best compatriot was Damon Graulus, who finished just outside the top ten with eleventh place. Julien Lieber finally finished sixteenth.

Jeffrey Herlings wins…Graulus comes in eighth!!!
It was Aleksandr Tonkov who took the holeshot in this second series. But as expected, it was Jeffrey Herlings who took over command in the first lap ahead of Arnaud Tonus. These two riders immediately made the difference and we were looking forward to third place. The Husqvarna boys Tonkov and Febvre and the Frenchman Tixier were eligible for this. But that was without the Slovenian Tim Gajser. The Factory Honda rider joined in and didn't wait a moment to strike. In a few laps he took third place. At the front there was really nothing to do against Herlings who rode to his second series victory. By the way, it was the very first time that Herlings was able to win the Grand Prix of England. Who also rode a great series was our compatriot Damon Graulus. The Standing Construct KTM rider took a good eighth place in this second series. Julien Lieber finally finished thirteenth.
