Perfect weekend for Honda in Brazil as Max Nagl takes clean sweep

Max Nagl and his Honda CRF450RW were unstoppable on the red clay of the Goias track this weekend as the popular German took a clean sweep of victories.

Yesterday’s performance saw him charge into a commanding lead of the qualifying race and never look back, and today was much the same. In race one he took the holeshot and then made it his race, storming to an emphatic third moto win of the year. Setting his own blistering pace at the front, the super-consistent German also set the fastest lap to complete the domination.

The start of race two was in fact the only time this weekend in a race that Max didn’t lead. Rather he was second for the first few corners, until a decisive move saw usual service resumed as No.12 again rode into the distance to seal a double win and the overall victory – his first of the season, the first of the season for Team HRC, and fittingly at the Grand Prix title-sponsored by Honda Brazil.
