Red Bull KTM duo Jorge Prado and Tom Vialle have delivered double class victories in the MXGP of Limburg, the second of three-straight rounds at Lommel.

Prado went 2-1 for the overall in MXGP, his third of the 2020 season, ahead of world champion Tim Gajser (Team HRC) and Antonio Cairoli (Red Bull KTM).

Gajser charged to the opening moto win, however a mistake while leading the second encounter enabled Prado to take victory after keeping teammate Cairoli at bay. Gajser recovered to third and salvaged a podium overall.

In the world championship standings, Gajser now has a 55-point advantage over Cairoli and is on target for a third premier class crown, while Prado has now climbed to third overall, just two points from Cairoli.
