As the opening round of the 2021 FIM Motocross World Championship kicked off this weekend in Russia, we felt it best to look back as some of the key takeaways from the action. Tim Gajser and Tom Vialle both went 1-1 on the day to win the MXGP and MX2 classes respectively, but that doesn't tell the whole story.

We discuss Gajser's wild Race 2 comeback, Antonio Cairoli's crushing DNF, Jeffrey Herlings return to MXGP off his massive injury in Faenza last September, Jago Geerts' knee issue and his ride to salvage points, and how good of a day Tom Vialle really had.
