Kawasaki factory rider, Romain Febvre has clocked the quickest time in the MXGP time practice with a time of 1.44.419, as the Frenchman made his time early and sat on it. Several tried to reach him, but it wasn’t possible. So, Febvre on pole for this afternoons MXGP qualification race.

The 2015 World MXGP champion was more than a second quicker than second fastest man, Calvin Vlaanderen, with series favourites, Tim Gajser, Lucas Coenen and Jeffrey Herlings in 7th, 6th and 16th respectively.

Great to see Isak Gifting and Kevin Horgmo in third and fourth spots, as these two privateers continue to show the factory teams, their potential.
