Heralding History

For the third year on the bounce the FIM Motocross World Championship burst into life with the first two rounds taking place at the unique and culturally rich locations of Qatar and Thailand. Qatar was, as always, a showstopper, where MXGP’s newest rookie sensation Tim Gajser shone brighter than the four hundred and twenty light bulbs that lit up the circuit with his 1 – 1 performance on his MXGP class debut. In MX2, it was business as usual for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings, who after two seasons plagued with untimely and serious injuries is back and already proving to be in a league of his own. As the lights went down on the powerful season opener, flight cases were packed up and shipped off to Suphan Buri, Thailand, an unfamiliar location where the second round of the MXGP championship would take place for the first time in history, only five days later.
