Buffalo, NY: Russian
rider Evgeny Bobryshev achieved a perfect double-moto victory at round nine of
the 2011 FIM World Motocross Championship held at Teutschenthal, Germany. The Honda
World Motocross’ team rider swept both MX1 motos on Dunlop tires en route to
capturing the first-ever MX1 overall victory of his career. Dunlop sponsored
racers filled three of the top six overall spots.
In front of 40,000 fans, 23-year-old Bobryshev mastered the Teutschenthal
track, which contained variable terrain conditions from fast and bumpy
hard-packed sections, to deep loamy ruts and slippery, freshly watered,
gradients. Bobryshev held off reigning champion Tony Cairolli to take
back-to-back moto wins, giving Russia its first MX1 victory in 31 years.

"Thank you Dunlop!” said Bobryshev. “The tires
performed so well! I got two excellent starts and was really fast on the
track.” Bobryshev’s win elevated him to fourth in the World Championship with

"Wow!
What a race," said Dunlop’s Motocross Race
Coordinator Eddy Seel. "You could really see the traction of our tires
at
the start of both heats and Bobby rode amazing races. He was the fastest
ontrack and I am really happy for his first-ever GP win! We are making
big steps
at the moment and I'm looking forward to more success this season."
