World Championship points for Petar Petrov and Herjan Brakke in Portugal

Petar
Petrov started around 20th position in the first moto but during the
first lap he made several passes and came by start/finish in 17th
position. Soon after he worked himself back up to 15^thposition. During the race he changed positions several times but he stayed consistent and finished the first race in 15^th position.
In the second moto he started in the back of the pack. Petar started a
charge back trough the field and after several laps he worked himself
back up into the points. Petar kept the pace as high as he could and
managed to move up some positions in the second part of the race to
finally cross the finish line in 17^th position. Overall he finished in 17^th position and after six rounds he sits in 17^th position in the World Championship Standings.

Marc
de Reuver had bad luck today. In the first moto he twisted his ankle
and was forced to retire from the race. Between the motos Marc decided
to sit out the second moto and to come back when he is fully recovered
from his ankle injury which he sustained at round three of the Belgian
Championship Series in Kester.

Herjan Brakke started the first MX1 race inside of the top twenty. After several laps he was riding in 18^th position but some laps later he dropped back to 19^th position
and because of a small mistake he dropped back out of the points.
Herjan kept fighting and managed to pass a rider in the second part of
the race to finish in 20^th position
and with this position he scored one World Championship point. His
start in the second moto was better and at the end of the first lap he
came by start/finish in 15^th position.
In the beginning of the race the pace was a little bit to high for
Herjan and this cost him some positions. After several laps he was
riding in 18^th position and soon after he worked himself back up to 16^th position. With still some laps to go Herjan lost a position but kept pushing till the end and finished the race in 17^th position. Overall he finished in 20^th position and after six rounds he sits in 32^nd position in the World Championship Standings.

Next weekend round seven of the World Championship Series will be held at La Baneza in Spain.
