Seven months after he last raced, five-times world champ Jeffrey Herlings shows he’s back in the game after winning two of the three motos at the Hawkstone Park International, including the Superfinal.
Battling against Glenn Coldenhoff, Romain Febvre, Pauls Jonass, Alberto Forato, Jeremy Seewer, Isak Gifting, Brent Van Doninck and more, The Bullet brought the factory KTM home fourth in the opening moto as holeshot man Febvre won from Coldenhoff and Jonass.
But second time out Herlings took the holeshot and fended off Coldenhoff all the way to the flag – although the two second places gave the new Fantic factory rider the official MX1 overall.
Then in the combined MX1 and MX2 Superfinal, Herlings started well and was soon at the front, dominating the race despite continued attacks from Coldenhoff.
In the MX2 class, world champ Andrea Adamo dominated both motos on the punishing sand track he’d never raced on before. With Cas Valk second overall from Hakon Ostehagen, Adamo also was top MX2 rider in the Superfinal to make it a clean sweep.
With a cast of top riders including Adam Sterry, Henry Jacobi, Roan Van De Moosdijk, Josh Gilbert, Joel Rizzi, Brad Anderson, Jake Nicholls and a crowd of thousands, if was a stunning start to the 2024 UK race season.

Thank you for the video. Shame you can't hear the bikes for the music 😢
Will he stay healthy though? Odds are not on his side…
thank you, but have to agree the music is too much 👍
Elevator music 😭
Good Lord, this track was gnarly!!! I thought that it was more hardpack. Awesome edit, love the vibe of off season European races.
whats about the music
Race results would be good
top event every year
Music ruined it.
Stupid music…ugh over engine noise, casuals like the music though….
Herlings is back
Yep…lost me with the music.
What happened to uk riders, where dud all our greats go ?
Dude I absolutely love this race every single year. I pray Jeffrey stays healthy. He has the speed to win the MXGP title still. I want him to snag that and then come over and dominate Jett at the AMA nationals.
Rubbish crap not interested
Some of these European tracks make us Americans look like a bunch of crying babies, as we complain about a few breaking bumps that weren’t groomed properly. 😂 😂
this track deserves to be in the mxgp calendar 🤤🤤
I think the music is fine, it goes well with the editing style. Great video 🤌🏻
Why music? 😡
Wouldn’t touch Jett
Cut the music out

No music
Kut muziek altijd er door heen waardeloos zend dan niets.
Stoppen met die rot muziek motor geluid wil ik horen en geen ge tetter er tus door.
You could at least turn off the music imitation when the racing started?
It’s amazing to see how fast they can go in conditions like this.
Full highlights. Really? No commentary just music.
I would like to see the battle Herlings vs Lawrence
250 two stroke in mx2 ..now give 500cc to mx1 class 🤌
Poor camera work and too long a focal length
Nice video👍
Like if you ride motorbikes
I wonder if team redbull is cheating in technology? So dominant f1 to cycling. Or is it just best competitor gets best equipment? Not been caught yet thru tech inspections.
