It's easy to forget that the MXGP Series is in full swing when round one of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross series hits round one but man... don't think there was anything less than pure motocross magic going down this side of the pond!

This first clip you can see how close KTM team riders Herlings and Cairoli are... man... what a start! Those guys were mm away from each other in that first corner. NUTS! Herlings edged it in practice but man... so close. Paulin managed to hold off Cairoli and did Herlings a favor but let's not take away from the fact he was on the KTM riders back wheel!

Paulin certainly learnt something from the qualifying round as he smashed the holeshot in moto one! No question he had it man what a start! Unfortunately Herlings came again from nowhere and pushed past but man what a start!

Once again in moto two it was a masterclass on the holeshot by Paulin, he even cut out Herlings which was great to see! Unfortunately, the KTM rider passed him and it was the story of the day yet again. The Bullet, when on the pipe is just untouchable... ask Tomac ;)
