Coldenhoff wins first series in Shanghai!
Glenn Coldenhoff continues to impress in the MXGP class. The Dutchman kept his composure in this first series despite the pressure from Herlings and Gajser. The Hoff started in the lead and would not relinquish the lead. Jeremy Seewer was also in good shape and followed closely behind Coldenhoff.
However, in the second round the Swiss crashed twice against Chinese soil and fell back to sixth place. He would come back to P4. From the fifth lap it seemed that Herlings would increase the pressure and catch up to the leader. Meanwhile, Kevin Strijbos had disappeared from the match after a bad start. Gajser was also able to catch up with Herlings, making the final laps exciting. It wouldn't get that far because Coldenhoff kept a tight pace until the finish and won the heat ahead of Herlings and Gajser. Van Horebeek finished seventh ahead of Paulin. Brian Bogers finished eleventh, Nathan Renkens crossed the line in fourteenth.
