FARMINGDALE, N.J. (July 26, 2016) – Bel-Ray sponsored racers and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing riders Max Nagl and Max Anstie secured podium finishes at the FIM Motocross World Championship Czech Republic. Nagl claimed his first MXGP victory on the 2016 season, while Anstie finished third in the MX2 Class on July 24.                                             

Nagl started round 13 of the FIM Motocross World Championship in second place and maneuvered his way into first place by the second lap. Nagl remained in the lead for the rest of the race to secure the win. In the second race, Nagl was able to work his way into third place by the end of the first lap. In the sixth lap, Nagl was in first place and continued to keep his lead.

“It was a great GP for us,” said Max Nagl. “Despite only having the 14^th gate pick, I managed to get two great starts in the final motos. I wanted to avoid being passed by any means, so I gave it all to remain out front until the end. My plan was to put pressure on him and that’s exactly what happened. He made a mistake a few laps before the end and when I got the lead I just went for it. Getting two race wins for my first overall victory this season is just great. It’s so good for the team and a great confidence booster for me as well.” 

After not getting his desired start in moto one, Max Anstie was able to recover and finish third overall in the MX2 class. After starting moto one in 10^th, Anstie was able to launch his way through the field into second place. For moto two, Anstie worked his way to the second by the halfway point. He made a quick move into the lead near the end, but suffered from a small crash before finishing in third.

“It was a solid weekend for sure and we can be happy with it,” said Anstie. “All of my practice sessions and races were good and I felt pretty good on my bike. It was nice to get a podium result in this track, even though I knew we could have done better. In moto one I didn’t get a good start and had to battle through the pack for second. Then in moto two…I tried really hard to pass him for the overall win, but it didn’t end up so well. I’d used a lot of my energy trying to come forward in moto one so there was not much left in the tank. It’s just one of those things.”
