PODIUM FOR BOISSIÈRE, REMARKABLE RESULT FOR PAULIN AND DOUBLE ZERO FOR FROSSARD

The French achieved a fourth and sixth position in MX2, Boissière gets his first podium and Frossard is not able to score but keeps the second position in the overall standings

The Motocross European Grand Prix crowned Antonio Cairoli (KTM) as the MX1 World Championship and Ken Roczen (KTM) as MX2 World Champion. Cairoli achieved this title after Clement Desalle’s injury and the double zero by Steven Frossard (Yamaha), after not being able to finish even the first of the races held during the weekend. Despite that, Frossard keeps his second position in the overall standings, that could only be threaten by Germany’s Max Nagl, who is 33 points behind him with only 50 points up for grabs.

David Phillipaerts’s (Yamaha) absence, benefited Anthony Boissière (Yamaha), who achieved his first podium of the season, finishing third in the second race after achieving a tenth position in the first.

In MX2, Ken Roczen (KTM) was the fastest in the first race, while Tommy Searle (Kawasaki) took that honour in the second and Roczen was third. This result was enough to give him the title, while Gauthier Paulin (Yamaha) showed again that he can be at the level of the top five riders, as he finished fourth and sixth respectively. Cristophe Charlier (Yamaha) finished twenty-ninth in the first race and twelfth in the second.

The Motocross World Championship will finish next weekend, on the 11th. with the last round that will take place in Fermo, Italy.
