Round 3 of the MXGP from Glen Helen proved to be a breakout party for Belgium's Clement Desalle. The Rockstar Energy Suzuki pilot is quietly making a run to the top of the MX1 charts and his 1-1 performance at Glen Helen proved he's ready to make the leap to head of the class. Meanwhile, down in the MX2 class it was an all-orange show as the Red Bull Teka KTM duo of Jeffrey Herlings and Ken Roczen were unmatched all day. So let's get over to the lap charts, brought to you by Motion Pro, to see how it all broke down.
