MXGP Race 2:
Max Nagl claimed the final MXGP holeshot of the year ahead of Tim Gajser and Tony Cairoli. Cairoli made short work of Gajser, and then he went after Nagl for the lead. Cairoli eventually made the pass for the lead five minutes into the race. Eli Tomac didn't get the best start this time around either, but he had worked his way up to seventh place by the seven minute mark. 10 minutes into the moto, Cairoli had a four second lead over Gajser, and Febvre was two seconds further back in third place. Febvre eventually tipped over in a corner, which allowed Tomac to move his way into third place. 15 minutes into the moto, a battle for the lead erupted between Cairoli and Gajser, but they couldn't slow each other down too much because Tomac was closing in fast. By the 21 minute mark, Tomac had made the move on Gajser and was less than a second behind Cairoli. Cairoli tried to hold off Tomac, but he couldn't hold him off forever and Tomac made the pass sick around the 23 minute mark. Eli Tomac would go on to take the win, Tony Cairoli finished in second, and Tim Gajser rounded out the podium.
MX2 Race 2:
Jorge Prado grabbed the MX2 race two holeshot ahead of Max Anstie and Jeremy Martin, but Anstie rocketed by him in the second turn to take the lead. Jeffrey Herlings didn't get a great start this moto, but he had moved himself into third place by the end of the first lap. Herlings then made the move on both Prado and Anstie to take the lead six minutes into the race. 12 minutes into the race, Herlings had a one second lead on Anstie, and Martin was about a second behind Anstie. Martin eventually found his way past Anstie, but he had a lot of work to do if he wanted to challenge Herlings for the lead. 25 minutes into the race, Herlings had a nine second lead over Martin, and Jeremy Seewer was three seconds further back in third place. Unfortunately, Austin Forkner crashed out of the race around the 28 minute mark. It looked like he walked off the track on his own, but he did get a ride back to the medical unit. I'm sure there will be an update on him released soon. In the end, Jeffrey Herlings claimed the win, Jeremy Martin finished in second, and Jeremy Seewer rounded out the podium.
MXGP Race 1:
Max Nagl claimed the MXGP race one holeshot ahead of Glenn Coldenhoff and Tony Cairoli, but Coldenhoff moved his way into the lead a few turns in. Eli Tomac was in 10th place off of the start, but he started to slice his way through the field pretty quickly and was up to fifth place by the end of the second lap. Five minutes into the race, Coldenhoff had a two second lead over Cairoli, and Nagl was about three seconds further back in third. Tomac made the move on Nagl for third seven minutes into the moto. Cairoli made the pass for the lead 10 minutes into the race, but he couldn't get too comfortable up front because Tomac quickly made the pass for second and started to close up on him. The battle between Cairoli and Tomac lingered on for a few laps, but Tomac eventually made the pass stick 18 minutes into the race. Newly crowned champion, Tim Gajser, started a little slow but found himself in fourth place by the 20 minute mark. He would not have time to catch up to Nagl for third, though. Eli Tomac grabbed the win, Tony Cairoli finished in second, and Max Nagl rounded out the podium.
MX2 Race 1:
Max Anstie grabbed the first holeshot of the MXGP of The USA ahead of Jeffrey Herlings and Austin Forkner. Herlings made quick work of Anstie and started to open up a small gap half-way through the first lap, but then Max Anstie and Jeremy Martin started to close up a little bit. Herlings stabilized the gap between himself and Anstie at about two seconds a few laps into the race, but it started to heat back up around 10 minutes in, as Anstie started to close back up on Herlings, and Martin and Forkner started to close up on Anstie. Martin would make the move on Anstie 11 minutes into the race, and then he started to go after Herlings for the lead. Forkner worked his way into third 13 minutes into the race, but he would have some work to do if he wanted to catch up to Martin and Herlings. With one lap to go, Herlings had an eight second lead over Martin, and Martin had six seconds on Forkner. Herlings claimed the win, Martin finished in second, and Forkner rounded out the podium.
