2021 MONSTER ENERGY FIM MOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP | COMPLETE COVERAGE

Red Bull’s content factory never stops and the latest project by the energy drink giant is an episodic series on Jeffrey Herlings. The last few years have been extremely tough for the Red Bull KTM MXGP rider, as serious and complex injuries (broken foot in January 2019, broken ankle in June 2019, broken neck in September 2020) forced him to miss multiple rounds of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross World Championship and re-evaluate his approach to racing.

After a stunning return on the vicious Lommel sand circuit was capped off by a race win, Herlings and the Red Bull KTM MXGP team turned their attention to the next challenge on the schedule, the MXGP of Latvia. The day in Kegums had its share of ups and downs, as JH84 clocked some of the fastest laps while “struggling” to find a flow in practice, bested the competition in Moto One, and had his final score hindered by a crash in Moto Two.
