The Red Bull KTM squad did this for Jeffrey during the 2014 MX2 World Championship – Photo by: Ray Archer

Red Bull KTM Factory rider Jeffrey Herlings is fighting to be fit for the opening round of the 2015 MX2 world championship. The two-time MX2 champion will start riding again in about a weeks time (just a month before the season starts), with the hope of being on the start line for the Grand Prix of Qatar.

After the struggles of the last two years, where he has suffered a handful of injuries, meaning his not only lost last years MX2 title by a few points, but also missed the MXoN the last two years.

No doubt if fit enough to race Qatar the KTM rider will not be coming in with all guns blazing. As we saw at the start of this year Herlings wasn’t the same rider as he tried to get his normal speed back. With that said he is a special rider, but don’t be surprised to see another rider standing on top of the MX2 podium in a little over a months time.

More soon!!!!
