Jeffrey Herlings-Ricky Carmichael MXoN Award Youngest Rider winner

SAINT
JEAN D’ANGELY (France), 18 September 2011 – For second time in three
years, Jeffrey Herlings received the Ricky Carmichael Award for being
the youngest best-classified rider in the Monster Energy FIM Motocross
of Nations. The Dutch talent finished third in the Open class, behind
Villopoto and Paulin, after finishing 2-9 in today’s heats.

After
being the runner up of the FIM MX2 World Championship, Herlings came to
France to represent his country and also to obtain a good performance
and prove his talent on the hard pack. Herlings is known as the “king of
the sand”, as he is a difficult one to beat on such surface, but in the
last part of the season, he has improved a lot his riding on hard pack
and he has always finished among the top three.


This weekend Herlings represented the Netherlands in the Open class
riding the 350cc. In the second heat he missed the holeshot, but he
managed to take the lead already in the opening lap, but the
extra-motivated Paulin overtook Herlings already in lap five. The Dutch
finished second ahead of Villopoto and Roczen.


In the last heat, Herlings rode together with the MX1 riders and this
time he could not finish among the top places of the race. The Dutch
started from the outside and he was 14th in the opening lap, and
although he moved up four positions, he then dropped down to tenth place
and ended ninth behind Paulin.
