Twelve straight moto wins for Herlings, and he took this one by almost 39 seconds. I've spent enough time in the pits to know — dominance like that is decided at the start, nine times out of ten. Once he's out front by turn two, it's just him drawing the perfect line from corner entry to exit, alone. De Wolf's charge from near-last to second was gutsy, but the champion's wall is still high.

Wait does the qualifying race even affect the main race standings?

Honestly MXGP's gotten boring outside of Herlings.

Been watching since Everts' dad raced, his first win this season hits different.

But he's unbeatable in qualifiers and kinda meh in the main sometimes, that's what worries me.

Herlings winning 12 straight qualifying races is monstrous.

120pt lead, championship's basically decided already.
