Jeffrey Herlings of the Red Bull KTM Factory team won all three motos of the ADAC Masters in Dreetz. Herlings was in a class of his own on the very demanding sand track.
He already showed his skills in qualifying by setting a fast lap time that earned him pole position. In each of the three motos, he moved into second place early on, studied the leader’s lines for a few laps, and then took over the lead.
In the first moto on Saturday, Maximilian Spies initially led the race before having to give way to Herlings. In Sunday’s two races, Max Nagl grabbed the holeshot, but he too had to acknowledge Herlings’ superiority, as the Dutchman was clearly in top form on the Dreetz circuit.
“The track lived up to its reputation: it was very sandy and demanding in Dreetz, which I really enjoyed. I wasn’t satisfied with my starts, but I was with my riding and the results,” said a pleased Herlings.
For Herlings, this event served as a solid preparation for the twelfth round of the World Championship at Britain’s Matterley Basin, which is scheduled for the upcoming weekend.
