held off Herlings for the
spot at the finish. Behind
Herlings came champion-
ship leader Tim Gajser and
Van Horebeek.
The 1-2 score was good
enough for Paulin to score
the overall win over Her-
lings' 3-3 and Van Hore-
beek's 2-5. Cairoli was
fourth overall with a 9-1
score and Gajser ended
up fifth overall with a 6-4,
which means Cairoli cut four
points out of Gajser's cham-
pionship lead as the series
heads to Latvia, with Cairoli
now only 14 points behind
the leader.
In the MX2 event, Prado
Garcia was fastest in timed
qualifying, as predicted, but
every time the gate dropped, it
wasn't long before Garcia ended
up on the ground. In moto one,
Garcia hit the deck on lap two
while battling near the front and
was down for about a minute.
He ended up 17th in the moto.
In moto two, Garcia got the
holeshot, then cross-rutted on
the track's first jump and flew off
the track into the crowd. He was
uninjured, but ended up 23rd in
the moto and 23rd overall.
However, his teammate Pauls
Jonass continued his winning
ways, dominating both motos in
the sand, taking a 1-1 overall win
over Suzuki's Jeremy Seewer
(4-2) and Belgian Yamaha racer
Brent Van Doninck (5-3). The
perfect day for Jonass increased
his points lead over Seewer to
19 points as the series heads
to Latvia for round seven in two
weeks' time. CN
