Team Grand Prix Kawasaki Racing celebrated another GP win this weekend as Livia Lancelot won the opening round of the Women’s World Championship. Home of the Bulgarian GP for several years now Sevlievo offered two different types of race this year as the weather changed so fast on Sunday. The first races took place on a dry track in hot temperatures before a storm changed the conditions between the heats. On Saturday the track was in perfect condition and once more Sébastien Pourcel was the fastest rider in all the sessions scoring his third consecutive pole position. Fastest during the free practice periods Livia Lancelot didn’t find a clear lap during the timed session and qualified third in the Women’s class.
Grand Prix Kawasaki Racing riders Sébastien Pourcel and Livia Lancelot both won this weekend – Sebastien dominated the French MX1 championship round while Livia took victory in the new Women’s series. Sébastien didn’t have time to celebrate his Portuguese GP win as just three days later he was in Gaillac Toulza for the practice sessions of the French Elite Championship. He collected another pole position - two and a half seconds ahead of Aranda and Aubin - on a dry and fast circuit. The racing conditions were also great on Thursday and Sébastien had no real rivals - starting the two MX1 heats in second position he won both races easily.
After two difficult rounds for the Grand Prix Kawasaki Racing team Sébastien Pourcel claimed the fourth GP win of his career in Agueda, Portugal. After two very wet events there was at last a dry GP in Agueda, a regular venue for the FIM Motocross World Championship. Travelling straight from Spain to Portugal the team members as well as the riders enjoyed the sunny weather even if it was pretty difficult to get used to the high temperatures. As usual in Portugal the organisers did a perfect job preparing the layout.
Sébastien Pourcel had a great weekend in Castelnau de Lévis where he won both heats and collected the third GP win of his career at the French round of the world MX3 motocross championships.
