Tim Gajser won this Sunday’s MXGP of Great Britain, that marked the end of the MXGP Motocross World Championship season. The final round took place at the Matterley Basin circuit.
In the first race, Glenn Coldenhoff (Monster Energy Yamaha) led for a significant portion of the race but couldn’t hold onto the position in the final laps. Gajser (Team HRC) overtook him with three laps to go, and then he lost the second-place position to his teammate Jeremy Seewer on the final lap. Seewer finished 1.627 seconds behind Gajser. Jorge Prado (Red Bull GasGas), the reigning champion, finished fourth in this race despite briefly being in second place.
Coldenhoff again started as the leader in the second race but was overtaken by Gajser in the third lap. The Slovenian set the pace from there, eventually winning by 5.868 seconds ahead of Romain Febvre (Kawasaki). The Frenchman made a strong recovery to finish second in the ninth of the 14 laps. During the final lap, Seewer also lost a position to Rúben Fernández (Team HRC). Coldenhoff finished fifth. Prado suffered a fall and could only recover to 18th place.
With the double victory, Gajser won the MXGP of Great Britain, scoring a perfect 50 points. Seewer was second with 40 points, followed by Febvre, Coldenhoff, and Fernández in the top five. After his setbacks in the second race, Prado finished tenth overall.
