A few highlights from the final MXGP of the year, at Villars-sous-Ecot in France at the weekend.

Dutchman Jefferey Herlings (KTM) won the weekend in the premier MXGP class, but Italy’s Antonio Cairoli (KTM) had already wrapped up the MXGP title at the previous GP.

American Thomas Covington (Husqvarna) won the MX2 class in France, while Latvia’s Pauls Jonass (KTM) did enough on the day, finishing fifth overall, to win his first MX2 crown.
