420 lights splashed the motocross Grand Prix circuit at Losail, Qatar for the first round of nineteen in 2017 MXGP and Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Clement Desalle was crackling among the vibe of electricity to post third position overall and release his account for a strong crack at the title with a podium trophy. Monster Energy Yamaha’s Romain Febvre was also a top three runner in the second moto when the wide, quick and jumpy track was at its roughest and most treacherous. In the MX2 class Kemea Yamaha’s Benoit Paturel contributed to an entertaining ‘duel’ with Pauls Jonass and the Frenchman missed out on the chequered flag by just over a second in both dashes; #6 posted a solid second to also prize-open the long campaign in the right way. MXGP continues to move east and for the first time this century will land into the motorcycle-racing-crazed territory of Indonesia and the brand new facility at Pangkal Pinang next weekend. |
