over Desalle, and 48 points over Paulin,
as the series heads to round 11, to take
place at Cairoli's home race in Italy in
two weeks' time.
In the MX2 class, Red Bull KTM's
Pauls Jonass has been the man to beat
all year long, and in Russia he got beat
in both motos—and was even lapped in
moto two—yet he still won.
Jonass finished a strong second in
the first moto behind Rockstar Energy
Husqvarna's Thomas Kjer Olsen. Olsen
led every lap of the opening moto, but
went down on the opening lap of moto
two and his motorcycle was too dam-
aged to continue.
The second moto was all Suzuki's
Jeremy Seewer. Seewer was forced to
throw away his goggles early in race
one and could only manage seventh
place. He rectified that in moto two by
moving himself into the lead and even-
tually lapping every other rider on the
track except for second place, which
went to Brian Bogers. The HSF Logis-
tics KTM rider finished two minutes and
32 seconds behind Seewer. Then came
overall winner Jonass, one lap back.
"It was tough out there," Seewer said.
"I just did my laps. I didn't know I was

leading and at the finish I was told that I
had nearly lapped everyone and that was
cool to see that and realize it at the finish
line."
Bogers ended up third overall in the mud
with a solid 6-2 score.
Jonass carries a 45-point lead as the se-
ries head to Italy for round 11 in two weeks.
