Double Honda Podium in Ernée
Mathys having only just come back from his early season injury dominated the first race of the EMX250 and took the win with ease at his home race. As he came into the second race on he had a late challenge from his team mate Alberto who ended up taking the win. A second place finish was enough to secure the overall win for Mathys and Honda and his team mate Alberto came in third.
The EMX250 race heads to Russia on June 10th for the first time and the Frenchman is feeling confident after getting his first win of the season under his belt.
Mathys Boisrame:
I had a really good weekend in my home race at the MXGP of France. It was nice to come back from my injury and take the win. The first race I managed to get out-front and hold the race from there. The second race I had a good start and then my team mate Forato overtook me to win on the finish flag but I am happy for both of us. I am excited for Russia, it is going to be good race and I am ready for it after taking the win here.
MX2:
The MXGP of Ernée was a little off the mark for Michele Cervellin as his overall results do not truly reflect the Italians speed this weekend on his CRF250RW.
He proved early on this weekend that he was capable of a top five finish when his time in timed practice came in fifth fastest. Michele didn’t get the start in the first race and as a result, was pushed to the back of the pack as they all bunched in the first corner. As he began to make headway through the pack he avoided a collision with another rider but crashed himself. Quickly picking himself up, he managed to salvage a 20th place finish.
By the second race, Michele was prepared to make amends and had an excellent start. He was fourth within the first two corners and could have held onto a top five finish. Unfortunately this wasn’t to be, he went down again early in the race, setting himself back to 19th. True to form, he battled on until the end and secured a 12th place finish.
The championship now takes a week break before heading onto a new track in Russia on June 10th.
