fought through the pack in both motos after less-than-ideal starts and nearly stole the win in race one, only to crash on the last lap after an aggressive pass attempt. McLellan rebounded with another strong charge in race two to finish fourth, securing another Triumph 1-2 overall and moving into third in the championship standings. "With all due respect to every - one else, I think I was the best rider all weekend," McLellan said. "In control, fast, smooth, no mis- takes. This weekend I took a big step. I got the elbows out and was aggressive with everyone. I know I have the speed to be up there. I just need to sort out the starts and the rest will come together." Karlis Reisulis celebrated the first Grand Prix podium of his ca - reer with third overall. The Yama- ha rider strung together two great rides, finishing fourth in race one before battling his way onto the podium with a third-place finish in race two. His breakthrough result saw one of the most consistent weekends of his young career and marked another milestone for the Yamaha program. Janis Reisulis narrowly missed joining his brother on the podium after going 3-5 on the day. Liam Everts scored his first moto win of the season and rounded out the top five overall. More championship-altering developments came from the Red Bull KTM camp. Simon Laengen - felder suffered a DNF in the second moto after a failed pass attempt on Farres left him with an apparent arm injury. The DNF and a fifth in moto one dropped the early-season points leader to fourth in the championship standings behind McLellan by a single point (547 to 548). Sacha Coenen is still recovering from a broken collarbone but managed a 7-7 scorecard for seventh overall. The former points leader retains second in the championship points—after dropping from the lead at the previous round—and he now trails Farres by 33 points. "Ten days post-surgery, it was not too bad," Sacha said. "I just did two solid motos today, but I was missing some energy and was just trying to survive. I'm looking forward to our home GP next weekend, and I'll try to do my best." CN MXGP (Top 5) 1. Jeffrey Herlings (Hon) 1-1 2. Tom Vialle (Hon) 3-2 3. Romain Febvre (Kaw) 2-5 4.
