scorecard meant he tied
on points, but the sec-
ond moto win defined the
Grand Prix ranking.
Also equal on 40 points
was Cairoli who had to deal
with broken goggles before
finally ditching the eyewear.
Despite the disadvantage,
Cairoli was able to ride
to third and his 3-3 gave
him a second consecutive
podium appearance. Prado
was also running with the
leaders but lost two places
inside the final two laps and
his 2-7 cast him to fourth
spot overall.
First-moto winner Febvre start-
ed the race in seventh, struggled
with some mistakes in the slick
mud and ended up finishing 12th
in the moto for fifth overall.
Championship leader Tim
Gajser (Honda) had an "off" day
going 5-6 for seventh overall.
Gajser leads the MXGP
Championship with 124 points,
followed by Herlings with 118 and
Febvre at 107.
One week after his maiden
podium result in his rookie MX2
season, Guadagnini was not
over-awed by the prospect of his
home Grand Prix and rode to a
steady second position behind
Yamaha rider Thibault Benistant
in the first moto.
Guadagnini, however, was
faultless in the second, leading
from start to finish. As well as
his superiority on the day, the
Italian was also able to seize the
red plate as the new MX2 world
championship leader.
Maxime Renaux (Yamaha) was
second overall on the day with a
6-2, while Jago Geerts (Yamaha)
completed the podium with a 4-5.
Roan Van De Moosdijk
(Husqvarna) and Benistant (1-14)
rounded out the top five overall.
Guadagini is the new cham-
pionship leader with 113 points.
Renaux is second with 111 and
Ruben Fernandez (Honda) is
third at 108.
CN
Italian Mattia Guadagnini took
MX2-class win at his home GP and
