Coenen grabbing his fifth qualifying top time of the season. Answering Herlings, who was fast in the morning session, with a strong afternoon run shows sharp racing instinct. Qualifying in motocross shapes how you enter the race. Seizing the initiative like this on South Africa's rough terrain carries real weight. I like dirt racing too. Whether he can hold this momentum through the race is worth watching.

Reyslis fastest in MX2 — he made his presence known right away at South Africa's debut round.

Being fast in qualifying and winning the race are two different things, comes down to who's actually stronger tomorrow.

Coenen's 5th pole of the season already looks like the poise of a true points leader.
