Clément Desalle wins the MX1 round in the Czech Republic

The Motocross World Championship returned to the Czech Republic Grand Prix this past weekend, where Clément Desalle claimed the MX1 victory aboard his Suzuki.

The race was very tough, the riding was extremely demanding due to the track conditions, as the mud made the riders’ maneuvers difficult and passing anyone was almost impossible.

The rain was one of the clear protagonists of the day, turning the circuit into one of the most demanding tracks of the season, as was the case in Holland, so it was very complicated for everyone, including our riders, who still cannot run at the front at the World Championship rounds.

For his part, Antonio Cairoli was affected by a poor start in the second moto that left him out of contention, while Desalle took advantage of the situation and went all in to win his fourth round of the season, leaving Cairoli in second place, ahead of Gonçalves.

The Spaniards finished 10th overall for Barragán, across both motos; while Campano was 18th, both eager to reach the next round in Great Britain.

The overall standings have Cairoli on 509 points, ahead of Desalle on 461 and Frossard on 428, so the Italian has everything in his favor with three races left in the season.
