Herlings looked untouchable from corner entry to exit — a qualifying win like that says everything about where his form is. But what really got me was Farres. Crashing on the opening lap while leading the points, cut up and hauled to the medical center — that's not something you shrug off. Hope he's good to go Sunday.

Isn't Längenfelder actually the more consistent one this season?

In MX2 sure, but MXGP is all Herlings right now.

Gajser 2nd, Febvre 3rd — closer than expected.

Worried whether Farres can even race Sunday after that face injury.

Crashing while leading like that — I've seen it before, still scary every time.

Herlings is just too strong, ran away with it.
