Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings claimed his 101st-career victory after winning the MXGP World Championship round in Portugal on Sunday, as Jago Geerts extended his advantage in MX2.

Saturday saw Team HRC’s Ruben Fernandez win the qualifying race, before on Sunday 3-1 results were enough for Herlings to stand atop the Agueda podium.

The five-time world champion was joined by Romain Febvre (Kawasaki Racing Team) after he posted consistent 3-2 scores, with red plate-holder and second moto winner Jorge Prado (Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing) completing the podium to maintain a 17-point lead in the standings over Herlings.
