Antonio Cairoli and Marvin Musquin: unstoppable towards the title

Extremely muddy terrain in which the twelfth test of the MX world championship at the Circuit de la Czech Republic since on Thursday and Friday the rain was a constant, even fearing the suspension of the test. But on Saturday and Sunday the sun came out and we could see how Antonio Cairoli (KTM) and Marvin musquin (KTM) advance unstoppable to the achievement of their titles not without difficulties since the first sleeves of their respective categories did not win them.

Jonathan Barragan did not have an outstanding performance. The Madrilenian, who still does not seem fit after his long convalescence, had a bad start in the first heat and did not achieve enough speed to get into the top ten. In the second he lost his balance in the slowest and tightest corner of the circuit and could not continue.

MX1: Estonian Tanel Leok stands up to the leader

By surprise, Tanel leok (Honda) took their second win of the season in the first sleeve disputed. One of the few occasions when Cairoli he was outmatched, with a hand-to-hand duel with Tanel Leok. And the thing is that with two laps to go before the conclusion of the first round, Cairoli tried to catch up with the Estonian making a mistake that definitively took him away from victory. Not too far, Clement Desalle (Suzuki) after starring in an excellent comeback and after beating David Philippaerts (Yamaha) was awarded third place.

In the second sleeve bad luck took the Estonian Leok as he had to stop for a moment to remove a stone that blocked the rear brake of your Honda. Even so, he finished in fifth position taking third place in the test. Secondly Cairoli dominoes the second sleeve as we are accustomed to despite the fact that its most direct rival Clement Desalle (Suzuki), I didn't stop following him around the wheel until he lost steam. Steve Ramon (Suzuki) took third place and David Philippaerts (Yamaha) crashed several times in the second heat.

MX2: Boards Marvin Musquin (KTM) vs. Ken Roczen (Suzuki)

Ken roczen put land in between from the start and beat the first sleeve to the surprise of the MX2 leader, Musquin, who reached the finish line more than half a minute from the German but before taking second place, the French had to come back from fifth position. In this manga there were multiple falls: Frossard, Roelants, Nicholls, which together with Osborne's physical problems left the series somewhat boring.

The second sleeve it was much more exciting Musquin and Roczen they returned to star in a new duel for the first position. The Suzuki started out ahead of the KTM one, but a bend forced Roczen to change the line and he fell apart, leaving Musquin to win his 14th round of the season. As the leading duo fought, Gautier paulin (Yamaha), had a calmest heat and celebrated it on the podium, the second he has achieved in 2010.

The next test will be held on August 22nd in Campo Grande BrazilToo bad they didn't send me as a special envoy.
