He wasn't happy with Anstie, but was very happy to beat Herlings in that second moto! Always a pleasure to interview Valentin, super nice guy and always smiling! The under the radar Swiss talent has went to another level in the last two weeks and deserves all the exposure he is getting.

For most of the race Herlings looked like he was being demolished in third. He had had his nose in there early on but Anstie and Guillod had pulled well away. Herlings looked well beaten and had nothing for the leading two.
Then, in the dying minutes of the race he just put the hammer down, slicing several seconds off his previous lap times. And from nowhere he snuck up on Anstie and Guillod and mugged them. Those two, engaged in a thrilling battle for the race win, never saw Jeffery coming and WHAM! He took both of them in one pass on the penultimate lap and cleared off to take the win. You could see both Guilod and Anstie were stunned.
It was an awesome piece of riding and just one special part of an excellent and thrilling GP.
And yes rob, it was a memorable race.
Guillod was riding awesome.. even whipping and scrubbing every lap.. great to watch!
