Max Anstie wins the Latvian Grand Prix
By Team TMX on 12th Jul 15
Max Anstie stormed to a resounding two moto sweep for Monster Energy DRT Kawasaki in the Latvian round of the FIM World MX2 Motocross Championship at the rugged Kegums track to close dramatically on the series leaders.
This weekend was a testament to Monster Energy DRT Kawasaki rider Max Anstie ability to ride sand. Anstie grew up racing in the renowned sand of The Netherlands and has always claimed he is one of the best sand riders in the world although he openly admitted that had Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Jeffrey Herlings been on the line this weekend, it wouldn't have been easy to achieve what he did, "Jeffrey is an amazing rider, he is not the world champion for nothing,” the Brit said. At the end of the day, Herlings was not on the line this weekend and it was Anstie who stepped up to the plate and creamed everyone in all three races, qualifying and both main events for his first overall grand prix win of the season.
