Cairoli and Herlings extend their points lead at Uddevalla


Despite the gloomy conditions of yesterday, the sun was out to play here today in Uddevalla, Sweden for round ten of the FIM Motocross World Championship where the Redbull KTM Factory Racing duo Antonio Cairoli and Jeffrey Herlings were victorious.

Back with vengeance this year was the current MX1 world champion Antonio Cairoli. After having a disastrous GP here last year Cairoli turned his luck around winning both races to take home his sixth overall victory of the season. Standing on the second step on the podium was Ken De Dycker with his fourth and second place results ahead of Clement Desalle in third with his third and fourth place results.

In the MX2 Jeffrey Herlings continues to reign supreme taking home his tenth consecutive overall victory. Despite only coming back to third in race one after crashing on lap one, the flying Dutchman made a strong return in race two to take his eighteenth race victory of the season. After putting in the ride of his life to take the win in race one Christophe Charlier backed up his first race result with a third in race two for second overall. Finishing third was Jordi Tixier with a fourth place in race one and a second place in race two.  Editor:  Rotorua's John Phillips went 24th and 26th for 29th overall.
