Jeffrey Herlings has won the opening MXGP moto in Australia with pretty much a flag-to-flag victory. The six-time world motocross champion continues to dominate everyone, in what is one of his best seasons in the last decade. Romain Febvre was second and Andrea Adamo a solid third place.

Jeffrey Herlings: It was really good. I led from the beginning and I led from the third turn, and Romain was pushing, but I managed to get him.

Vialle and Herlings first and second, with Febvre third, then Monticelli, Adamo, Jonass, Vlaanderen, Seewer, Walsh, Pancar, Rogers. Herlings into the lead and Febvre also passed Vialle. Herlings quickly opened a 3.3 second lead over Febvre.

Herlings held a 1.7 second lead over Febvre on lap six, and the Dutchman just doing what he needs to do. Top ten was Herlings, Febvre, Vialle, Adamo, Jonass, Vlaanderen, Seewer, Monticelli, Pancar and Geerts.

Lap nine and the lead by Herlings remained the same and really nothing happening in this moto. Herlings, Febvre, Adamo, Vialle, Jonass, Vlaanderen, Seewer, Pancar, Geerts, and Monticelli in 10th. Febvre suddenly closer to Herlings, but still, you get the feeling this is what we have watched many times this year, with Herlings in control. Herlings wins it from Febvre and Adamo.
