Moto win for Gajser moves him one point off championship lead

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

A seventh race win for #timgajser moved the Team HRC rider to within one point of the championship-leading red-plate after another day of epic #racing at the #mxgp of Garda.

In what was the third of three rounds at the Pietramurata track in the Trentino region of northern Italy, the #243 moved up from third to second in this extremely close #mxgp championship, after his four-one results gave him second overall.

After qualifying in sixth place, Gajser was able to cross for the first lap of the first race in an impressive fourth position but with a lot of pressure from behind, he had to battle the whole race to maintain that position and as a result, was unable to progress forward. He crossed the line in the same position and although it kept him in the championship hunt, he knew he needed to improve in the second #moto for his own momentum.

Taking another inside gate pick, the Honda CRF450RW raced out of the gate in the second #moto, moving quickly into first position within one lap. From there, he stretched out a comfortable lead while chaos reigned behind him. At one point the gap was almost 15 seconds, with Gajser posting the fastest lap of the race in the process, but he cruised home with a five second buffer, much to the delight of a huge number of adoring Slovenian fans.

As has become the norm for the Pietramurata track, the Tiga243 supporters all gathered on 'Gajser Corner' in a sea of red and yellow, with flags, flares and smoke bombs all adding to what was an incredible atmosphere. They cheered him all race long, and then gathered around the podium as Gajser took his position on the second step, celebrating his success and giving him even more impetus to carry into the season finale double-header next week.

The riders will have a few days to recover from this intense 10 days before heading a couple of hours south to the Mantova track in Lombardia, Italy where the penultimate round will be in a week's time on Sunday 7th November before the final round of this enthralling #mxgp championship on Wednesday 10th November.
