Photo Gallery: World Motocross - Round 3, Águeda

Description

What a difference a week makes. Last week it was rain and mud, this week it is literally summer weather that belongs in July. But – who are we to complain? Better this than pouring rain, miserable riders and miserable spectators. Águeda, a sleepy market town in the north-west of Portugal and a scant hour from the hustle and bustle of Porto, hosts the third round of the World Motocross Championship, and the complete turnabout of the weather pleasantly surprises everyone. Hot and dry from mid-week onwards, the temperatures peak on Saturday where the mercury hits 32 degrees centigrade and prompts the use of anything that can keep the temperatures down.
