FIM Motocross World Championship
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings put on a great performance under the night lights of the Losail track in Qatar at the season opener, as he returns to MX2 category following almost a six month layoff due to a broken femur sustained last season. The Dutchman enjoyed a good battle in race one with Dylan Ferrandis, and got away in the second moto by lap three to cement a 1-1 finish with very little bike time under his belt in the pre-season to take the overall win aboard his KTM 250 SX-F. Teammate Pauls Jonass had a solid start in his first GP with the KTM factory team as he took sixth overall.

In the higher capacity class, Tony Cairoli, who is not totally fit at the present time, went 3-4 for fourth position overall, which has formed a strong foundation for his 2015 championship assault aboard his KTM 350 SX-F. Ken de Dycker had a tough outing at the Qatar race, while Tommy Searle unfortunately had to retire from proceedings, as he aggravated an old thumb injury.
