Tim Gajser began the race with a faster start, positioning himself in third place after the initial two laps. The top contenders included Frenchman Tom Vialle on a Honda, alongside his teammate Jeffrey Herlings, who currently holds the new overall lead in the MXGP class standings. The race saw some early incidents among the motocross racers, which contributed to an improvement in Gajser’s early ranking.
Shortly after the start, Herlings increased his pace and assumed the lead. By the 12th lap, the gap between Herlings and the second-placed Vialle was significant, with Herlings leading by approximately five seconds. Gajser, who was in third place at that point, was already more than nine seconds behind the leaders.
Despite the early setbacks and the commanding lead established by Herlings, Gajser maintained his position in third place. The overall competition featured strong performances from multiple riders. Herlings’ strong showing helped solidify his new standing at the top of the MXGP class.
