3 Days ago
The Molson Kawasaki MX2 team riders run strong in Sevlievo until terrible luck strikes. If it wasn’t for bad luck in Bulgaria the Molson Kawasaki team would have had little to no luck at all as after Stephen Sword and Gautier Paulin raced their factory KX250F-SRs to fourth and fifth place in the opening moto at round four of the FIM World Motocross Championship in Sevlievo a double no score second time out tried and tested the team’s spirit to the max.

Then in their qualifying heat the pair finished second and third to easily qualify and ensure they’d get a great pick at the start gate for Sunday’s points paying races.

3 Days ago
MX2-GP World Champion Antonio Cairoli finished off a Grand Prix podium for the first time since Namur, August 2007 after suffering a first corner crash in a wet second moto at Sevlievo for the Bulgarian round of the FIM series. The fourth round of fifteen took place under changeable weather conditions that saw the first race occur in sunshine and the second on a slippery and soggy terrain.

The start and initial corners were vital in determining the leading positions as lap-times generally remained fairly close and overtaking was difficult.
