Bobryshev returns to podium in Agueda with Goncalves close behind‏

Honda World Motocross riders, Evgeny Bobryshev and Rui Gonçalves
finished third and fourth respectively in the overall classification of
the GP of Agueda, Portugal. The result marks a second podium for
Bobryshev this season and an equal best result of the season for Rui
Gonçalves.

What’s more is that in both motos, the riders aboard the official
Honda World Motocross Team CRF450R grabbed the holeshot, Bobryshev in
the first moto, Gonçalves the second.

Aside from fantastic starts, consistency was the order of the day,
following and incident-packed Qualifying Race that saw both riders lined
up in compromised gate positions. In the first moto Bobryshev settled
into 4^th while Gonçalves advanced through to 7^th by race end. Out front Cairoli and Desalle would duel for first position with the spoils eventually going to Desalle.

In the second it was Gonçalves who powered away from the gate and
into a comfortable lead, a lead he would maintain for the first nine
laps, in front of team-mate Bobryshev holding tight formation. As the
moto developed, Desalle and Cairoli would once again come through but
the Honda mounted riders held strong in 3^rd and 4^th; positions that earned them 3^rd and 4^th in the overall classification.

For the rapidly improving duo, podium positions are now readily
within reach, and it shouldn’t be long until race wins are on the
Agenda.
