Two in a row for Cairoli after Portugal victory
MXGP
The paddock reconvened after the long drive to the west of Europe and the distinctive Agueda circuit with the red dust and loose top soil providing a slippery, bumpy and tricky surface and a different challenge to the rough sand of Ottobiano in Italy seven days previously. Wide in many places and with some spectacular jumps, Agueda was also limited away from the main #racing line for passing opportunities among the front-runners.
On this stage and watched by 20,000 #people (weekend figure) #mxgp Championship leader Cairoli and ‘rookie’ Herlings resumed their duel from Ottobiano with the Sicilian fronting the field in the first #moto until lap twelve of eighteen when Herlings found a superior rhythm and sliced past his rival. Cairoli kept pressure on the Dutchman and the gap at the flag was just over a second as Herlings toasted his fifth #moto success (the second highest tally of the season). In the second race Cairoli again found first position on the opening circulation while Herlings dispensed with Tim Gajser to move up to second and work on the margin to the #222 but the eight times world champion used his considerable experience to register his eighth #moto win, the fifth of the term and the 82nd GP accolade of his career.
