After finishing second to Cooper Webb last weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway, it looks like the newly crowned three time MX2 World Champion, Red Bull / KTM’s Jeffrey Herlings, is coming out swinging for the 2016 MXGP of the USA at Glen Helen Raceway this weekend. In the MX2 qualifying race today, Jeffrey was passed by Monster / Pro Circuit / Kawasaki’s Austin Forkner, but the champ hunted the rookie back down and took the win. Jeffrey was followed over the line by Forkner in 2nd and GEICO / Honda’s newest member, Jeremy Martin in 3rd.
