FEBVRE, GUILLOD TOP LOKET

amaha Factory Racing
Yamalube Team riders
Romaine Febvre and Valentin
Guillod came away with overall
wins in their respective classes
at the 15th round of the FIM Mo-
tocross World Championship in
Loket, Czech Republic, July 26.
Febvre won both MXGP motos,
while Guillod went 2-1 for top
honors in the MX2 division.
In both MXGP motos, Feb-
vre finished ahead of Honda's
Evgeny Bobryshev, and Febvre
had room to spare, taking the
checkered flag nine seconds
ahead of Bobryshev in the first
moto and five seconds in the
second moto.
Febvre extended his lead in
the championship to 88 over
Bobryshev's teammate Gautier
Paulin. Yet, despite the comfort-
able points gap, Febvre remains
cautious.
"I am excited for the title, but
I was already happy with third
place in MX2 last year; now I am
battling for the title in MXGP on
my first year," said Febvre. "So
it is exciting but I know there are
still five rounds to go and any-
thing can happen, if it's in training
or at the GP, so it's not finished."
The race marked the return
from injury for Rockstar Energy
Suzuki World MXGP's Clem-
ent Desalle. The Belgian hardly
missed a beat after finishing
both motos in third place, and
that including getting a holeshot
along the way.
Fourth overall went to Desal-
le's teammate Kevin Strijbos with
a 5-4, and fifth overall went to
Febvre's teammate Jeremy Van
Horebeek with a 4-5.
In the MX2 class, Great
Britain's Max Anstie got things
started with the first-moto win,
