MXGP of China Shanghai stop concludes after three-day fierce competition

Despite dominating both races, Herlings was significantly tested by the intense conditions on the track in Shanghai.

"Maybe it looked simple, but this was one of the hardest ones for me to win. I feel like a chicken that's been on the barbecue for an hour. The heat was tough," he said.

The scorching heat with a temperature up to 36 degrees Celsius and high humidity made the Shanghai International Off-Road Circuit one of the most difficult places to race.
