There are not many records that Jeffrey Herlings hasn’t won when it comes to podiums, moto wins and GP wins, and the MXoN moto win record is something he still has an eye on.

Stefan Everts has 11 for Sunday races, with Herlings on nine wins for Sunday. No doubt, the Dutchman will head to Assen in 2027 with a goal of at least equalling the record of the King of Grand Prix racing.

Crazy to think that Herlings, who went 1-1-1 at this years Monster Energy Motocross of Nations, started his MXoN career with a 37-20 performance in 2009, with his first ever moto a DNF. A year later, at Thunder Valley, USA, The Netherlands didn’t even send a team.

As an MX2 rider in 2011, Herlings went 2-9, beating Team USA rider, Ryan Villopoto in the process. A year later in 2012, at the famous Lommel MXoN, Herlings, still an MX2 rider, but racing in the open class, he went 1-2 and came within inches of going 1-1, when he crashed in the final moto, started last and raced through the field to get on the back wheel of Antonio Cairoli, only to run out of time to make the pass. But still, his first moto win at this classic event.

Again in 2013, he didn’t race due to an injury, and he also missed 2014 and 2015. In 2016 at the Maggiora circuit, he again came so close to going 1-1 on the Sunday, finishing with 2-1, and again, he crashed while chasing down Jason Anderson, and ran out of time to repass the American. Still, he did pick up his second race win at the event.

At the Matterley Basin circuit in 2017, he finished with that 1-2 performance again, with Max Anstie actually going 1-1 in the MXGP class, while Herlings rode the Open class again. A year later in 2018 at the Redbud circuit, Herlings again finished with 1-2, however it was his team-mate, Glenn Coldenhoff who beat him in the final moto, in an event the Dutch should have won had it not been for the forced retirement of Calvin Vlaanderen with a busted eye. Coldenhoff went 1-1 and Herlings 1-2, showing complete domination.

At the Assen circuit in 2019, Herlings went 2-4 as The Netherland won the event and then in 2020 there was no Nations due to Covid, but Herlings came back in 2021 to go 1-1 at the Mantova circuit. Picking up his fifth and sixth moto wins at the MXoN. Herlings again missed the event in 2022 due to injury and also missed 2023 at the Ernee circuit. In 2024 he finished with 5-5 results at Matterley Basin. He also missed the 2025 event as he wasn’t selected by the Dutch team manager.

Of course, this year, he finished with 1-1 again, and showed he is the fastest man on the planet. Herlings has also won qualification race at the MXoN in 2012, 2016, 2018, 2021 and this year. All in all, 13 moto wins from the MXoN weekends.
