KTM have released a great behind the scenes video about Jeffery Herlings first season in the MXGP 450 class. It's a great insight as to the trials and difficulties swapping from a 250 to a 450 and also hows how much harder the bigger class can be. It's stacked with talent and seasoned veterans of the sport, many of them champions and GP winners a plenty.

Nobody can take away from Herlings that he had an amazing end to the season! He really did settle into the 450 class and pretty much flat out beat all of the fastest riders in the world! Not only in MXGP but also in his trip to the USA where he made quite a bold statement about his speed... beating everyone.

2018 will be an exciting year for him and for KTM having the current 1&2 MXGP riders on the team. As a fan i am very much looking forward to the battles ahead :) bring it on!
