Drama, Herlings doesn't score!
A rare mistake by Jeffrey Herlings has prevented the KTM rider from finishing! The Brabander crashes during the first round of the fifteenth GP of the season. The start is not very good and then 'The Bullet' makes a mistake. Then his machine is hit by two riders, causing so much damage that further riding is impossible! Romain Febvre (photo) wins the first round and clears his 24 point deficit in one fell swoop!
Tim Gajser crosses the finish line second ahead of a flu-stricken Antonio Cairoli. Jeremy Seewer is good for fourth place ahead of Jorge Prado. Glenn Coldenhoff takes seventh place, Jeremy Van horebeek takes a neat tenth place just ahead of Brian Bogers. Kevin Strijbos (19th) takes two points and Brent Van Doninck (DNF) does not score.
