TOTAL DOMINANCE FROM KTM RED BULL FACTORY TEAM AT LIEROP ONCE AGAIN TO ALMOST CERTAINLY CEMENT BOTH TITLES FOR THEM AGAIN IN 2012

The tough sand of Lierop is legendarily unforgiving and is the perfect terrain for KTM Red Bull man-to-beat in the MX2 class Jeff Herlings as he stormed to a 1-1 result in front of his home crowd at the weekend to take himself to 65 points ahead of nearest championship rival, Raptor Titanium sponsored Brit Tommy Searle who took a 4-4 result and dropped badly needed points ending almost all hopes of championship contention for the Brit with two rounds left to go.

In the MX1 class it was once again all about Tony Cairoli who showed his class and obliterated the field with another 1-1 result and yet another overall GP result to add to his growing tally. Whether it be sand or hard-pack it doesn't seem to bother the Italian who just keeps on winning.

Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Gautier Paulin of the Factory Kawasaki Racing Team moved up to 3rd place in the standings after Christophe Pourcel scored two DNF's and slipped down to fourth place, just 6 points ahead of 5th place Ken De Dycker now.

Both Herlings and Cairoli can now sew up the titles at the European GP in Italy next weekend.
