Jeffrey Herlings won the qualifying race at the MXGP Sweden round for his ninth straight victory, stretching his championship lead to 106 points. Tom Vialle finished fourth and Ruben Fernandez fifth, giving Honda three riders in the top five.
Nine straight wins is next-level. He rode that qualifier flawlessly from the first corner to the checkered flag and stretched the gap to 106 points — I've seen that kind of control from the paddock myself. Blow the two main motos tomorrow though, and all of it means nothing, so there's no room to relax.

Is the qualifying race win streak counted separately from the main moto wins? The format confuses me.
MXGP scores Saturday's qualifying race separately from Sunday's two motos — easy to mix them up if you're new to it.
Three Hondas in the top five says the whole team's setup is dialed in, not just one rider.
Curious how the other manufacturers close this gap. Hoping for a KTM comeback in the remaining rounds.
Nine straight wins and a 106-point lead — that's basically a runaway season for MXGP at this point.
Too dominant might mean the back half turns into a formality. A bit of a shame for anyone trying to chase him down.
