MXGP of Turkiye: Results & Highlights

Prado Turkey 24

The ongoing battle for the MXGP World Championship took another turn as Jorge Prado claimed the overall win, the 47th of his career, for Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing, reducing the points lead of Team HRC’s Tim Gajser to just 14 points!

Tim Gajser (4-2) and Jeremy Seewer (1-6) rounded the podium.

Herlings now sits 53 points off the top, meaning that he really needs a lot of luck to fall his way to be Champion this year. The gap between red plate holder Gajser and Prado is now 14 points, meaning that if the Spaniard wins every race left in the final two rounds, then he will be Champion again no matter what. However, Motocross is rarely so simple!

After a disaster at the previous round, Lucas Coenen got back to winning ways for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing, as a near-perfect weekend helped him to close in on his teammate Kay de Wolf and keep his Championship hopes alive

An ecstatic Lucas Coenen took his eighth career GP win, and seventh of the season, matching his teammate in both departments as they took a 1-2 on the overall podium. The gap between them is still a significant 44 points, but the chances of De Wolf wrapping up the title in China now look slim, and in the MX2 class anything is possible!

Kay de Wolf (4-2) and Simon Langenfelder (2-4) rounded the podium.
