The narrative that just keeps on giving. The Belgian Grand Prix belonged to Romain Febvre but Jeffrey Herlings' sub-plots remain riveting. A #blog on what we saw yesterday in the sand #MXGP #KTM #belgium #lommel https://t.co/DBeQi5e4Rh Pics by Ray Archer

Confirmation from Infront that the 2021 Motocross of Nations will not carry Grand Prix points and will keep the same, traditional format. The biggest question over Mantova now will be the permitted amount of people allowed on the site #MX #MXoN

Tim Gajser replies to take Pole by 0.14 of a second from Herlings. The Dutchman didn't yield to the bait & didn't attempt another lap. Jorge Prado sits in 3rd: the 3 winners of every GP here since Kevin Strijbos became the last Belgian to win in MXGP on home turf in 2016

Last Herlings Tweet until after the races: smashes a lap at 1:58.8. The first rider to dip under two minutes at Lommel with Red Bull KTM teammate Jorge Prado next at 1.2 seconds adrift. Pole Position would not be a surprise from #84 there are other, bigger questions over today

Tim Gajser won two of the triple header events here at Lommel last year. That takes his total of #MXGP wins to three. The same as Tony Cairoli, although the Italian's last victory in this sand was back in 2014. If Herlings cannot push for the win, it's tricky to call today
