A 37-second gap is basically a solo ride in motocross terms. That qualifying pace in his home town of Arnhem shows he knows that dirt inside and out. De Wolf clawing back from behind is interesting too. I'm betting the main event turns into a real scrap regardless of the qualifying gap.

Track conditions can flip late races though, wouldn't get too confident.

37 seconds is one of the biggest gaps all season, statistically wild.

A Dutch rider dominating on Dutch dirt is basically tradition at this point.

This dominant at his home track in Arnhem, Herlings is just on another level.

37 seconds in qualifying? Race is basically decided already.

De Wolf's been closing from behind though, not so sure about that.
