The FIM Motocross World Championship swings into its third round at the classic French venue of the Circuit du Pay de Poursay at Saint Jean D’Angely.
The MXGP class saw a dominant French 1-2 at the opening round in Argentina, with Maxime Renaux taking the win for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP ahead of Febvre, but at last weekend’s MXGP of Castilla La Mancha it was Gajser who had a perfect weekend for Honda HRC. He now holds the red plate and a 20-point advantage over Febvre, with Renaux just a further point behind.
In MX2, it’s Kay de Wolf who holds the red #1 plate for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing, with a six-point lead over his teammate and Cozar winner Liam Everts.
The French crowd will be cheering for last week’s Qualifying Race winner Thibault Benistant, who was injured at this circuit in practice last year and will be looking for better memories as he tries to climb from sixth in the series for Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2.
Reigning EMX250 Champion Mathis Valin will also hope to be fit after hurting his wrist in Spain, but he will try to line up for Kawasaki Racing Team MX2 for his first GP on home soil.
