Il weekend motocrossistico ha interessato più piste d’Europa. Oltre agli Internazionali d’Italia a Castiglione del Lago, domenica si è corso anche ad Halle (Olanda), a Sommiéres (Francia) e a Doncaster (Inghilterra) per i rispettivi campionati nazionali. In Olanda il belga di Kawasaki Joel Roelants ha vinto l’assoluta (1°-2°) davanti all’ufficiale KTM Red Bull Jeffrey Herlings, vincitore di gara2 ma solo sesto in gara1 colpa una caduta che lo ha costretto a rientrare ai box per sistemare alcuni problemi alla moto. Nella MX1 doppio successo di Evgeny Bobryshev (Honda World Motocross) che in entrambe le manche ha sempre prevalso su Ken De Dycker (Honda LS) e sul compagno di team Rui Goncalves.
In Francia primo successo stagionale di Sebastien Pourcel (Kawasaki CP377, foto), andato a segno sia nella MX1 che nella Superfinale con i migliori delle classi MX1/MX2, in quest’ultima categoria ha avuto la meglio il neo acquisto Husqvarna Ricci Racing Loic Larrieu.
Tripletta di Kevin Strijbos (KTM) nella gara in Inghilterra riservata alla MX1, mentre nella MX2 il migliore in assoluto è risultato Zach Orborne, (2°-1°-2°), ma il più veloce in pista è stato decisamente il compagno di team (Monstery Energy Yamaha) Arnaud Tonus, autore di due vittorie ma ritiratosi in gara2.
