The Grand Prix of Qatar hosted the opening round of the high prestigious 2017 FIM Motocross World Championship this past weekend. Antonio Cairoli proved that he has been putting in the work during the off-season and dominated in the MXGP class.

The eight-time World Champion won with a comfortable lead in the first race, while in the second, after having chased Tim Gajser for nearly 30-minutes, he managed to overtake him in the final laps for a double victory on the day. Tim Gajser, despite a nasty flu, managed to finish the Grand Prix just behind Cairoli in the runner-up position. Evgeny Bobryshev rode strong for fourth, followed by Romain Febvre in fifth.

A brilliant ride by Pauls Jonass witnessed him take top honors in the MX2 class with two convincing victories, despite the slight injury he suffered two weeks ago in La Capelle-Marival. The final step on the podium went to privateer rider Julien Lieber, just ahead of Danish rookie Thomas Kjer Olsen in fourth.
