The new MXGP season has just started with the first race of a season in Qatar and we already have surprise after surprise. Who would have thought in the beginning of a weekend that Max Nagl will finish in MXGP class so strong with two flawless performances on his Husqvarna. He was clearly the fastest rider of all with two wins and the overall to begin his season. Second best overall was the Belgian Clement Desalle finishing 2-2, while third was Gautier Paulin from France going 4-3.
In MX2 class we could see the best performance from Jeffrey Herlings going 1-1 despite not being 100% ready after his nasty injury he had last year. Second best rider was Julien Lieber going 3-2, while third was Dylan Ferrandis 2-5.
Below you can see the full results of MXGP round 01 in Qatar.
