SATURDAY RECAP
- Tim Gajser win the MXGP Qualifying Race
- Simon Langenfelder win the MX2 Qualifying Race for the first time since 2023
- Maxime Renaux and Romain Febvre weren´t able to score points
- Jeffrey Herlings finished 22nd on his return
The MXGP of Sardegna began in earnest today with thrilling encounters in the Qualifying Races for both MX2 and MXGP, as the shifting sands of the “Le Dune” circuit at Riola Sardo made it far from easy for even the fittest of riders in the bright sunshine!
The MXGP Qualifying Race was truly hard fought for, and finished with Tim Gajser taking the win for Honda HRC, less than half a second ahead of the hard-charging Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rookie Lucas Coenen!
Frenchman Maxime Renaux was the fastest on track, up to eleventh on lap three, when he suddenly came to a stop at the bottom of the circuit due a mechanical issue. Febvre also had an issue, with his rear wheel suddenly breaking up, although he was able to get it changed in Pit Lane, leaving him 20th at the finish. He ended up two positions ahead of the returning Jeffrey Herlings, who gave truth to his pre-race quotes of being nowhere near his top level.
In MX2 it was Simon Laengenfelder who took his first Qualifying Race win for over a year, as the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider showed the benefits of training on this island for much of the winter, with a real step-up in pace through the soft going.
