MAX CLAIMS FIFTH PODIUM RESULT OF THE SEASON AT MATTERLEY BASIN

Taking advantage of a strong moto two performance Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Max Nagl wrapped up round 11 of the Motocross World Championship with a second place overall result at the GP of Great Britain.

Showing impressive speed around a fast Matterley Basin track the German star started the weekend securing a runner-up spot in MXGP’s qualifying race. With track conditions deteriorating for Sunday’s motos, Nagl was unable to get a good start in the first moto. Struggling to find passing spots he rode a smart moto to cross the line in seventh place.

Nagl lined up for the second MXGP moto knowing he had the speed to battle for the top. Powering his FC 450 to a strong start he took a clear holeshot and led the race for the first six laps. With rain coming into play halfway through the race he opted not to take any unnecessary risk and allowed Tim Gajser to pass. Crossing the line as a runner-up he placed himself on the MXGP podium for the fifth time this season.

Racing in front of his home crowd, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s MX2 rider Max Anstie kicked off the GP of Britain winning the qualifying race on Saturday afternoon. Unable to make good use of his advantageous starting position in moto one the Brit had to battle from 15th at the end of the first lap to an eventual eight place finish.
