Watch Jeffrey Herlings and Jorge Prado crash on the finish line at the 2021 MXGP of Germany in Teutschenthal.
Prado was removed from the German circuit on a stretcher while Herlings walked away, probably steaming under his Airoh helmet.
Although there were some early exchanges in the opening moments, it took a little while for things to heat up in this opening MXGP race. But wow, it sure got hot in the closing stages of the moto.
Prado had the holeshot, while the other big hitters were in pursuit. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing teammate Herlings quickly made his way past the 20-year-old Spaniard, but Prado regained the lead.

Both Romain Febvre and Tim Gajser put on a charge so Herlings upped the pace and started to reel in Prado. They vied for the lead but Prado remained cool and held off the four-time world champion.
Then, as they jumped the finish line just fractions of a second apart at took the chequers, Herlings went straight, while Prado appeared to jump across. Herlings was left helpless as they crashed mid-air.
Herlings quickly got up but Prado remained in the dirt as he held his legs, looking to be in some pain.
Update October 3, 15:05 BST: Red Bull KTM reports that Jeffrey Herlings is okay and will line up for race two. Moto one winner, Jorge Prado is out of the final moto of the day with a laceration and is getting attention to that injury.
