Dylan Ferrandis of the Monster Energy Kawasaki MX2 Racing Team raced to second place in the British round of the FIM World MXGP Motocross Championship at Matterley Basin in southern England.

The Frenchman posted top three times in each of the practice sessions and was only narrowly defeated in the qualification race to give confidence for the GP motos, but in each moto his main rival and championship leader was able to establish a significant lead before Dylan could take over second place so it was not possible to battle for the victory as had been anticipated. However the two second places have enable the Frenchman to advance to sixth place in the championship standings with every chance to move to fourth in the upcoming rounds despite having missed four rounds earlier in the season.

Teammate Petar Petrov had also shown good speed in the qualification race as he battled with the championship leader all race to finish seventh but various issues restricted his scoring on race day to a single ninth place in race one before he was forced to withdraw from racing after just a single lap of race two. Petar is now ninth in the series standings but is now fully fit again and is optimistic that he will be able to move back up the standings in the coming rounds.
