Matt Phillips and Matti
Siestola throughout the
weekend. But Bellino
managed to pull off a
double victory, and se-
cure the points lead in the
E3 division.
"It's been a crazy GP for
me and the other riders
fighting for the win," Bel-
lino said. "From the start
of day one, it was clear
that there were several
riders that had the speed
to win. Things were tight
but I got the win. Day two
was good, but a crash in
the third test put me back
to fourth. I knew I had some
work to do then, and things went
well. I had a big fight with Matti
Seistola for the rest of the day,
but I pushed as much as I could.
It was great to win a day like this.
It's been a great weekend for
me."
Husqvarna's young gun Jamie
McCanney topped the Enduro
Junior division, despite com-
ing into Spain feeling "under
the weather." McCanney wasn't
even sure he was going to ride,
but dug deep to pull off a double
victory.
"I honestly can't believe I won
both days," McCanney said.
"I felt terrible before the race
so I just decided to take things
steadily and ride smooth. To say
things turned out well is a mas-
sive understatement. I certainly
wasn't expecting it."
In the Women's division, Laia
Sanz dominated aboard her
Factory KTM. The Spaniard,
who finished an impressive
ninth overall in the 2015 Dakar
Rally, was able to take a big win
in front of her home crowd in
Jerez. In what was her first ride
with the new Red Bull KTM Fac-
tory team, Sanz was able to take
another step in defending her
world championship.
