Antonio Cairoli of Yamaha De Carli impressed the
Motocross collective at his first competitive outing on a 2008 Yamaha
YZ450F by winning the FOX Grand Prix of Great Britain. Kevin Strijbos of
Suzuki made it to second, with as many points as Cairoli - 47. Ken De
Dycker, who was slightly injured after Moneyglass’ crash, completed the
podium ahead of new Championship leader Steve Ramon and Mike Brown.
Ramon now sits in lead with 14 points advantage in front of Joshua
Coppins, who scored no points on Czech, Belgium and Ireland GPs due to
injury. In Donington Park he had to withdraw from second heat due to a
pain in his shoulder.
