The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team pair of Antonio Cairoli and Jeffrey Herlings once again took the top spots in MX1 and MX2 respectively, this time at the German GP in Lausitzring, the 13th round of 17 in the motocross world championships.

Antonio Cairoli took his tenth GP victory of the season after a second in moto one and a victory in moto two, the Italian defending world MX1 champion once again proving too strong for his Belgian rival Clement Desalle.

Desalle finished the GP second with 1-2 results, with British Kawasaki rider Tommy Searle third with a 3-3 score-line. Cairoli is now 108 points ahead of Desalle in the championship with just four rounds remaining.

In the MX2 class, Dutch KTM rider Herlings (pictured here) is on target to wrap up his second MX2 world championship in the Czech Republic next weekend, after dominating both races in Germany.

French rider Jordi Tixier continues to prove he is the second best rider in the world as he finished runner-up on the day thanks to his 3-2 results.

Taking his first podium of the year, Dutch rider Glenn Coldenhoff rode to a solid fourth in race one and third in race two to take the third step of the podium.

New Zealand’s John Phillips (Dirtbike-Gym Honda) scored his first ever world championship points at the weekend’s event, finishing 23rd in moto one and then improving to come home 20th in moto two.

This was enough to give the Rotorua rider one point and see him installed at 24th overall for the GP and 44th in the world championship rankings.

This is just Phillips’ second GP of the season, after having also raced the Swedish GP a few weeks ago.
