FIM Motocross World Championship Season 2016 has finally begun with the first round in Qatar with allot of surprises and great racing.
The biggest surprise is undoubtedly the flawless performance of Honda Gariboldi Racing’s rider Tim Gajser who won both motos of the day for the overall in front of MXGP World Champion Romain Febvre and Evgeny Bobryshew.
Now that Red Bull KTM’s Jeffrey Herlings is healthy we expected from him to win and so he did with two great motos going 1-1 for the overall, but the race was not so easy for him as Dylan Ferrandis showed some great speeds and clinched second overall ahead of Pauls Jonass who was third.
Below are the results from Qatar MXGP.
