Livia Lancelot of Team One One Four Kawasaki extended her lead to 24 points in the FIM World WMX Motocross Championship with a resolute performance in the GP of Lombardy at Mantova in northern Italy.

The French girl’s hopes of another victory suffered a blow on the second lap of racing when a rival forced her to crash, but she bravely defied a headache and a sore left knee to move forward from fifth to finish third, a result which consolidated her points lead. She battled for victory throughout race two and got alongside the race leader on several occasions but could not quite make the final move; in the closing laps she sensibly accepted settled for a safe second place rather than risk aggravating her knee injury and she now takes a twenty-four point advantage to the final two rounds of the series.
