The 2023 FIM Motocross World Championships have been a succession of highs and lows for the man many may regard as one of the sport’s greatest riders.
Dutchman Jeffery Herlings has Motocross of Nations race wins to his credit – and overall team win too, at Assen in 2019 – as well as his claiming multiple world titles, but, like any top racer he’s not entirely satisfied.
In the videos below we can see what happens to him and share both the joys and frustrations he experiences at the French GP, the seventh round for 2023, followed by round eight in Latvia.
He has been confined to the sidelines in this current 2023 season, the talented KTM rider dropping out of the series after injuring himself in Germany, the nine round of this year’s competition.
