Barragan again!

The Motocross World Championship made the long journey from Europe to South Africa last weekend for the 10th round of the series. The South African track was the best track of the season according to the riders. In the MX1 class, the two KTM/Scott riders, Jonathan Barragan (3/1) and Max Nagl (4/2), took first and second, while last year’s World Champion Steve Ramon took third. Seb Pourcel and Josh Coppins both struggled with crashes and had to press hard just to maintain top-ten finishes.

In the MX2 class, KTM riders Searle and Rattray filled the top spots on the podium. Scott rider Nicolas Aubin (2/5) showed real speed and took third place overall.
