Bonver
GP of the Czech Republic expected to be key race for FIM Motocross World
Championship Happening
right after a demanding Grand Prix in Belgium, the Bonver Grand Prix of the
Czech Republic will be a key race for the FIM Motocross World Championship
which will come to an end in just three rounds. With
Cairoli leading the MX1 Championship runner up Nagl, who gained just two
points in Lommel, will have another chance to chip away at the actual 51
point gap and come closer to the two time MX2 World Champion. Musquin
won both heats in Belgium to build on his MX2 Championship lead. On the
other hand Goncalves moved up to second in the series passing Paulin, though
none of them made it to the podium last weekend losing important points from
the French red plate holder.
