Bobryshev exceeds limit in Qualifying Race

In a thrilling Qualifying Race in Indaiatuba, Brazil, Evgeny Bobryshev
pushed a little too hard and sacrificed a choice gate pick for
tomorrow’s motos.

After a promising start and full-gas first few laps, Bobryshev was sitting pretty in 3^rd place, having just seen off Xavier Boog with a fine pass. However, not content with 3^rd,
he continued to push, catching the two riders in front. Moments later a
mistake under heavy braking would cause a stall of his CRF450R. As he
attempted to kick it in to life, several places were lost and he
eventually rejoined the moto in 8^th.

On the charge again, he would move back up to 6^th
position before a small crash put pay of his chances of a top 10
finish. Another crash late on would seal it as a race to forget. 17^th position by no means a reflection of the pace shown but the hard charging Russian.


Rui
Gonçalves would also have a race to forget, struggling with arm-pump
from the outset. The hard and compact clay soil of the Indaiatuba track
may have been a factor but nonetheless he would battle on to a finish
of 10^th position. Once again thoughts will turn early to tomorrow and to when it really matters.

Evgeny Bobryshev, Honda World Motocross
“I
was trying so hard, pushing, pushing, pushing and I make silly mistake
under braking and stalled the bike. I was catching the guys in front
and closing on them every lap. After mistake I couldn’t get back in
rhythm and made another mistake, crashing and then again. I will put
this behind me and focus on tomorrow’s motos.”

Rui Gonçalves, Honda World Motocross
“I
got arm-pump really early on, from lap 1! I don’t know where it came
from and I couldn’t get rid of it.
I just couldn’t hold on, I couldn’t feel the bars properly at all. My
plan is to try and force it on in tomorrow’s practice so I can get it
out of the way. Usually you only have arm-pump once a day and if I can
force it on then I can push past it for the motos.”
