Gautier Paulin on the podium in Portugal.

Yamaha Monster Energy racer, Gautier Paulin, has secured his third
consecutive podium of the season, this time in Agueda, Portugal for round 6
of the FIM Motocross World championship.

The talented Frenchman, steered his Yamaha YZ250F to a reasonable start
in moto 1 but lost touch to the leading trio early on in the race when he
went into the back of Osborne and crashed. After finding
a good rythym Paulin put in a last minute charge to close down Max Anstie
and Zach Osborne. In a last lap dash he tried all he could to
pass Anstie and it was a photo finish with Anstie just getting the
advantage.

I better jump in moto had Paulin in the top 6 on lap one. He
pushed hard to make up a few positions and with Ken Roczen crashing out in
mid moto Paulin quickly moved past Osborne for third spot to secure second
overall for the GP.

“ I’m always happy to be on the podium but I am disappointed
that I could not get a good start and run with the guys up
front. I proved in the first moto after I had a crash that I could
run the same lap times as the leaders. I want to make it happen
now and I feel really good on the bike. My next goal is to fight for
GP wins.” Said Paulin.

With no break afforded for the GP riders, round 7 of the 15 round series
will take place in La Baneza, Spain, a new location on the FIM Mx Worl
championship calendar.
