Jeffrey Herlings' Incredible Charge at Mantova | Infield Access Raw

In the first moto of the penultimate FIM Motocross World Championship (MXGP) round of 2021, Jeffrey Herlings fell from second place on the opening lap. With so few points between himself and fellow title rivals Romain Febvre and Tim Gajser, Herlings was left with a lot of work to do from 15th place to limit the damage. As Febvre and Gajser controlled the race out front, Herlings put on one of the most impressive charges of the year to fight his way back to the front throughout the 30 minute plus two lap race. Our own Tom Journet was trackside for the whole thing and captured the moments as Herlings picked off one rider after another in what ultimately proved to be a championship saving moto.

Herlings really showed something extra special this year to overcome an injury and points loss to come back and win the title. He is so efficient on the jumps and exiting corners. I like observing the unique things he does on the bike. That dude is good.

[@DouweEgbert]

the best

[@johncourtney8541]

Maybe it’s just me, but the Herlings tear off through the rollers at 2:20 got my pumped.

[@tacoenvy]

Yeah that was crazy

[@ogasi1798]

when he does it in a particular way, you know it's all over for anyone in front - look back over years of racing and you see what i mean

[@tjmaxgomez9903]

Awsome! need more of this. Mxgp the Giants of motocross hands down.✊

[@justinhaley174]

Tom’s filming is the best god damn

[@Naasko595]

In case you were wondering, No, Herlings is not human. Unbelievable.

[@nathancrittenden8525]

The pace these boys are running at blows my mind

[@bebble985]

And to really put it into perspective, one of the mxgp guys ran a 150 at my local track to a time of 58 seconds when he raced. At our local series this year, not a single class went under 1 minute and 5 seconds.

Jeffrey wasn't going to be denied this year. Man on a mission.

Herlings, like Ayrton Senna, or Max Verstappen, is a guy some people may not "like", but it is undeniable they are (were) beasts from another planet.

[@LogacysAquaticLove]

That was just absurd!! 💯💯✅👍👌

[@jonsheets6392]

I don’t care how far I can jump if I can’t stand in the corner like they do I’m not a good dirt bike rider

[@JasonNaughton]

They're so frickin insanely awesome!

[@sparooniee]

Insane

[@TwistedTriggerEnduro]

Wild race!! 🔥💪

[@rafik835]

Febvre treated bad Herlings on start. Despite that he showed respect after the race. Great athlet .

[@jdmartinezrmz111]

Love the respect

[@plekker]

cool filmed 👏

[@timmypersson7508]

Insane as Always :) If anyone in doubt go check mxgp of lierop -12. RC4 did it in a mudd drenched Millville back in his days But JH84 is something beyond..

[@bigram7235]

Hell yeah!! Kawasaki to the Front !!

[@chrisnutt4659]

How good was that!

[@elasticsoldier0257]

JH 84. The fastest rider ever.

[@Corteum]

What sort of power range is Herlings bike putting out? in the 60rwhp range??

[@garretthanley5541]

55-60 probably. I’ve read somewhere these factory race bikes have a higher power to weight ratio than a nascar

[@cronejones5413]

Is there an electric bike class yet for AMA?

[@slagletoby]

Watch your mouth!

[@cronejones5413]

[@The_coachman_on_tour]

[@shmirdonkin]

MXP is starting to look a tad more "jumpy" than it used to. Looking a little more like American motocross.

[@nielsgiesen789]

They race the same tracks as before so, o dont think so

[@kakkerewiet]

this track in particular is known for being the one european track on the calendar which is this jumpy, american like track. all other european tracks on the calendar are the same as always. they do have non-euro tracks added on the calendar like qatar etc which are indeed more rythm, american like.
