The MXGP of Portugal saw Gautier Paulin and Jeffrey Herlings on the top of the podium, and while Antonio Cairoli and Clement Desalle completed the top three of the MX1 class, Dean Ferris and José Butrón were second and third in the MX2. The MX1 saw Gautier Paulin looking very comfortable in race one, coming from behind to pass Antonio Cairoli for the lead and then going on to win. In race two Paulin put in another strong effort, riding a comfortable second place to secure his second consecutive overall victory for the season.
Meanwhile Antonio Cairoli took two from two holeshots, but in race one had to settle for third after a mistake put him on the ground. Cairoli was on fire in race two leading the race unchallenged from start to finish awarding him second overall.
Standing on the third step of the podium was Clement Desalle who finished second in the first race and fifth in the second race after a horrific crash forced him outside the top three.
In the MX2, Jeffrey Herlings proved yet again he is untouchable, not even a couple crashes could slow down the Flying Dutchman who won both races by more than a minute. Dean Ferris was sixth in race one after a crash set him back but managed to finish the weekend strong with a second place in race two to take second overall ahead of Jose Butron who rode consistent all weekend, finishing a solid third place in race one and sixth in race two to take third overall.
