SIBLING SENSATIONS
They are brothers and they are sporting rivals, but Alastair and James Hoogenboezem know only one of them can be champion this season.
VILLOPOTO AND HERLINGS
Intense heat at round two of the Motocross World Championships in Thailand at the weekend led to both the second of two races for MXGP and MX2 to be reduced by five minutes each, although that had no effect on the outcome with American Ryan Villopoto dominating MXGP and Dutch youngster Jeffery Herlings dominating the MX2 class.
