2019 WORLD MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS (UPDATED): VIALLE (250) & COLDENHOFF (450) TAKE SWEDEN

 

Glenn Coldenhoff has been a major player at the tail end of the 2019 450 GP season. His 1-2 took the overall victory in Sweden—beating out Tim Gajser’s 3-1. Over the last three GPs Coldenhoff has gone 3-3-1-1-1-2

Jeffrey Herlings came back to the 450 GPs after his second long layoffs for a broken foot. He led, but got arm pump, dropped back, eventually fell and returned to the pits. He came back in the second moto to finish 26-4 for 12th overall.
