MX1’s Cairoli arrived in Spain with a heavy pain in his thumb but he
managed to get the overall victory after finishing second in the first
heat and dominating the second race from the beginning to the end.
Cairoli was the virtual red plate holder during the last lap, but
Desalle made a last minute overtake and the Italian remained second in
the point standings, just one point behind the Belgian.


Monster Energy Yamaha’s Phillipaerts was very satisfied with his second
overall position, as he struggled a lot in the last Grand Prix after his
overall victory in Brazil. Philippaerts was third in the first race,
but he could only be fourth in the second one, as his energies fade away
to keep the third position from Desalle’s pressure.

His teammate Steven Frossard did an incredible first race, and after an initial third position, he was able to overtake


Nagl and Cairoli and placed his Monster Energy Yamaha machine in the
first position. Frossard started 15th in the second race and he could
only finish ninth as he was suffering a lot of pain on his hand.

Rockstar Energy Suzuki World MX1’s Desalle was fourth overall due to his
5-3 results. Desalle made a mistake in the beginning of the first heat
and had to ride without rear break during the whole heat as some green
fence got stuck on his back wheel. In the second moto, Desalle also made
several mistakes but he gave all his best to finish third and keep the
red plate on his Suzuki machine.


Red Bull Teka KTM Factory Racing MX1’s Nagl did a very good qualifying
race yesterday, but he could not make it to the podium today and
finished fourth overall. The German finished fourth and fifth
respectively, so he gained some confidence for the upcoming Grand Prix
and try to be back on the podium and close the gap with the Championship
leader Desalle.


Leok finished 13th in the first heat, but in the second one, he did a
great start and kept the second position until the chequered flag. The
Estonian finished sixth overall and could not improved his 13th position
in the point standings, but he obtained some valuable points to get
closer the top ten.


Home rider Barragán did not have a good first race and finished ninth.
However, he managed to ride third during some part of the second heat,
but he had to settle down with a final fifth position, which gave him
the overall seventh place.

Bobryshev and Gonçalves struggled a little bit this weekend and finished
eighth and ninth respectively, while Boog completed the top ten.


Home riders Campano and Lozano finished 15th and 23rd respectively.
