Jeffrey Herlings has spent a lot of time in Spain as he prepares for his return to racing and the MXGP World Championship in 2024.
The five times world champion usually does a lot of races during pre season but this year he’ll only contest two races before MXGP kicks off – Hawkstone and Lierop Internationals.
After missing a lot of racing in 2023, the start of the MXGP season is going to be a building process before we hopefully see him back to his best after he gets some races back under his belt.
Herlings provided an update in a recent KTM press release:
“We’re testing some parts and going through some things now because in the second part of 2023 I was obviously off the bike, so I didn’t really have the chance. Right now, it is going good and I’m very happy with the bike.
“I was already happy last season, but I think now we are improving. We still have some things to look at. We’re in positive shape. We will only know how good we are once the races start but, based on how I feel at the moment, it’s shaping up nicely”.Â
“I won four last year and had multiple podiums. When I’m fully fit and strong then I can win…even though it is easier said than done”.Â
You can see how he is looking below:
