wins
MX2 ot
S
can
now concentrate on
wnnanS
more
Grand Prix
races.
"l
never
really enjoyed
this track, but I
found some
good Iines today,"
Pourcel
said.
"Before
we came, I knew
that the
start
would be
imPortant, and lately
I
have worked a
lot on my starts,
so l'm not
really surprised
to win the GP
I knew that
I had the
speed to
win and I
iust
needed a
great
start."
Meanwhile,
in the MX I division, Stefan
Everts took
his foufth Grand
Prix victory
of the season, also
going
l- |
,
and
is now
40
points
ahead of second-placed
rider
Tanel
Leok
in
the
championship
points.
Leok flnished second
in Germany,
after
going 6-2,
while Kevin Striibos scored
third
place
with
2-4 results.
The opening
moto of the
l'4X2 class
proved
to
be a Pourcel
domination, as the
younger
Pourcel,
Christophe,
led the race
ahead
of his older brother,
Sebastien.
The
Nvo
Kawasaki-mounted
riders ran away
from the
pack
during the
early
going,
although after a
few laps, the elder
Pourcel
pulled
out with mechanical
prob-
lems. Holding
down second
and third
places
at the time were
Raftray and
de
Reuver, and
this baftle
proved
to be
an
exciting one.
At the halfway
mark, howev-
er,
Rattray, the series
leader and winner
of
the
first three GPs
of the season, made
a
small mistake and
dropped
back to fourth,
leaving de Reuver alone
in second.
lnheriting
third was Alessio Chiodi,
show-
ing once again
that
he is very much fight-
in8 for
the championship this
year.
Chiodi
went the distance
in third. while Pourcel
led de Reuver to the
finish. Cairoli
flnished
fourth, with
