Meanwhile, in the MX2 class dominant world championship leader Antonio Cairoli suffered a scare when he crashed with Tyla Rattray at the start of race one, but the Italian was able to storm all the way back to second behind debut moto winner Tommy Searle, Rattray's young factory KTM team-mate. Tyla himself retired with a knee injury, while world champion Christophe Pourcel was fifteenth after a fall.
Race two saw Cairoli take a dominant victory, and with it the overall, while Pourcel claimed second despite another fall. A brave Rattray rode to a sore third while team-mate Searle could manage no better than fifth after a slow start - but still secured second overall, ahead of fellow KTM rider Marcus Schiffer, whose 7-6 results gave him a surprise podium.
In the championship standings, Cairoli is now an increased 102 points clear of Pourcel.
In the FIM Women's Motocross Cup, defending champion Katherine Prumm of Kawasaki Molson was back on top, after a disappointing opening round in Teutschenthal, thanks to 3-1 moto finishes, although Livia Lancelot was only one point behind after two solid second places.
Lancelot is the new series leader, taking the red plate after previous leader Larissa Papenmeier claimed only fourth overall.
Maria Franke completed the podium, but drops down to third in the series, behind Lancelot and Prumm, with the latter moving up from fourth to second.
