Seewer (Yamaha) filled out the
MXGP podium with 3-4 results,
while Anstie (2-6) and KTM rider
Glenn Coldenhoff (5-3) rounded
out the top five overall.
In MX2, it was another overall
victory for Prado, but it was a
hard-fought win because of a
crash in the first moto and mis-
takes in the second. Prado came
back to win the first moto and bat-
tled his Red Bull KTM teammate
Tom Vialle, who took second.
Prado struggled a bit early in
the second moto, while Dutch-
man Thomas Kjer Olsen (Rock-
star Energy Husqvarna) worked
his way to the front. At one point,
Prado slipped back to sixth
before charging back up through
the field. He found himself bat-
tling his teammate Vialle again,
this time for second place. Prado
eventually got around Vialle and
took second place to Olsen but
still took the overall win with a 1-2.
It was Prado 26
th
career win.
"I was feeling good all week-
end, the first race after the crash
was quite difficult, but I could
make it," Prado said. "I messed
up the second race a bit, but I
got to second and another GP
victory. At the second race, I had
a good start, got into first, but
my teammate was pushing and
passed, and I got him at the end.
The lap times were short, and I
struggled a bit. I am just happy
with the win for the moment, and
I'm looking forward to next week."
Vialle ended up second overall
via 2-3 motos.
Second-moto winner Olsen took
third overall with a 6-1. His moto win
was his third of the season.
"The first race was a struggle,
and I didn't feel like myself,"
Olsen said. "I was just trying to
keep with my teammate Jed [Bea-
ton] who was riding good. The
second race I think everyone was
tired, but I really wanted that win,
and I made it, keeping my ener-
gies until the very end."
Prado still enjoys a command-
ing lead in the championship. He
leads Olsen by 51 points.
Belgian Jago Geerts (Yamaha),
who was 10
th
overall in Indonesia,
is third in points, just nine points
behind Olsen. CN
