Sevlievo, Bulgaria Results: MXGP World Championship Round 5

A fantastic weekend of racing for our sponsored racers in Bulgaria last weekend, particularly for Gautier Paulin and Jeremy Van Horebeek of the Factory Kawasaki Racing Team at the weekend, as Paulin was top of the box in MX1 race two and second in the frist race to secure the overall GP win, the first of the year for the Frenchman. Van Horebeek scored overall sixth, a great achievement after sustaining an injury earlier in the season and showing he is getting stronger among the MX1 contenders.

Raptor Titanium sponsored Monster Energy Bike It Cosworth Yamaha put in a strong performance in MX2 as Dean Ferris scored 6th in race two. Mel Pocock achieved his first career GP holeshot in the second race, despite having to retire in that race and he made a solid 11th place finish in race one.

The Standing Construct KTM team on Raptor Titanium footpegs are proving a highly potent threat among the MX2 field, with Glen Coldenhoff retaining third in the points standings with a 5th and 8th place, whilst team-mate Pascal Rauchenecker managed 12th and 15th.

Pro Circuit Monster Energy Kawasaki continue to develop their race program well this year after a lot of bad luck, particularly with continued injury issues from their MX2 title contender Arnaud Tonus. Alessandro Lupino took his maiden career podium in front of the 22,000-strong crowd in Bulgaria, whilst Tommy Searle nailed sixth overall in MX1 with 5th and 8th place, excellent riding for his first year in the premier class.

Rockstar Bud Racing Kawasaki's Valentin Teillet landed a solid overall 10th in MX2 on his Raptor Titanium footpegs, with team-mate Dylan Ferrandis a very good overall 14th.
