By all accounts, really fast. Jeffrey Herlings raced in Holland at the KNMV on Thursday, onboard the KTM 450.
He dominated both races, his winning margin being around 1min30sec in moto1 and nearly 2mins in moto2 – incredible.
His fastest lap time 01:51.101 in race 1 some nearly 4 secs per lap faster than second place man JEFFREY DEWULF.
Yes, you can certainly say the opposition wasn’t the same as if he was racing Cairoli, Gajser or Febvre but even so the foundations have been laid for his switch to the MXGP class in 2017 – should the others be concerned with this one off performance?
Lets wait and see if he wins the MX2 title with a few races to spare and then we may see JH84 move up to battle the final few rounds of the world championship – my mouth is watering already with the anticipation of what is ahead when they all clash in a real race.
