WATCH THE 2021 MXGP FINALE: FEBVRE & HERLINGS WERE TIED BEFORE LAST MOTO

The 2021 MXGP World Championship is officially in the books and, somehow, Jeffery Herlings was able to pull off his fifth World Championship title (his second in the MXGP 450 class). It wasn’t without controversy though, Herlings had help from his teammates Antonio Cairoli and Jorge Prado letting him by just over a week ago at the MXGP of Garda. After racing the penultimate round at Mantova on Sunday, Tim Gajser was ruled an unlikely candidate for the title because of the 15-point deficit he was at. Tim was pushed off the track in the first turn during Sunday’s race and was penalized for gaining positions when he re-entered the track. Herlings and Febvre came into Mantova #1 3-points apart and left three points apart after going 1-2 and 2-1 on Sunday. Then, Herlings was able to tie them up by winning the first moto at the Mantova #2 finale, and he sealed the deal by winning the last race. Romain Febvre was putting pressure on Herlings earlier in the moto, but a crash set him back and took pressure off the eventual title winner. See below for the MXGP and MX2 results from Wednesday’s race and the overall points for both Championships.
