Motocross World Championship

4 July 2017

The 12th stage of the Motocross World Championship on the Portuguese Agueda track ran the circus back after a long absence.

Anton Gole after the convincing Ottobiano test comes to this race with more experience gained on his 250 factory.

In the qualifications Anton tries to find the right rhythm on a track with a very special background, the young Swede with a good pace can get a good 18th place.

At the race 1 Anton succeeds well but in the first races of the race he is muddled by the riders who precede him, with no visibility Gole makes a mistake falling violently, due to the fall the Swede is forced to retire.

In Race 2 it is possible to stage a good start but in the first round it is a hindrance, losing several positions. Anton does not lose his mind and with a good pace and a great comeback reaches 15th with 6 points.

In class 125 the two coaches Tm Paolo Lugana and Mattia Guadagnini are unable to get a good qualification.

In the first run on Saturday, Paolo Lugana is very good at recovering from the back and closing his race in eighth place.

Mattia Guadagnini instead rents in Sunday’s run with a good 12th place.

The two young riders have the rhythm and pace to stay in the top ten, but they have to go to the starting point to be able to lock in the top positions.

Long pause where the team will work hard to present themselves to the Czech Republic’s races at the most form.

Marco Ricciardi commented on the race: “Anton’s positive race is for him at the second official exit, only for the first time he has fallen violently and has had to retire. The second one was excellent, where he recovered very well from the backs. Gorges is seeing a good rhythm. The 125-year-olds have gone badly in both runs but have been able to recover, they have a rhythm to be in the top 10. I have to compliment the MOTO3 team where they made Mugello a first and a second place.”
