SCHWEDT (GERMANY), 30 July 2010 After three weeks break the FIM MX3 World Championship and UEM EMX2 European Championship will continue in Germany this weekend. Carlos Campano and Andrea Cervellin will defend leading positions.
In the MX3 World Championship Carlos Campano (Yamaha Andalucia Team) and Alex Salvini (Husqvarna Cross 2R) are still fighting for the World Champion Title while third Matevz Irt (Husqvarna Tecno B) is almost 100 points behind. Bikes problems put Salvini 15 points behind Campano after the last round and this is the biggest difference since the opening round. Italian needs good result in Germany and for him will be important to finish in front of Campano if he wants to be in the game for the first position. But in the other side German round will be opportunity for Campano to make his advantage bigger and ride more relaxed in last two rounds. However, soft sandy track will maybe be a step closer to the title for Campano.
Matevz Irt will need to be careful because Martin Zerava (UFO Racing) can pass him on the third place again. Advantage of Irt is only two points. French rider Milko Potisek (Honda) is too far at the moment to ascend the top three but with some good results in last rounds he showed that he can interfere in the fight for the podium.
Top EMX2 riders are so close that there is still difficult to say who will win the Championship. Andrea Cervellin (Husqvarna Cross 2R), Steven Lenoir (Vamo Racing), Jernej Irt (Husqvarna Cross 2 R) and Valentin Guillod (KTM Swiss) are all inside twenty points. From all four riders Guillod was the most successful in past three rounds. But in Germany also winner of the last race Klemen Gercar (AXO KTM Silver Action) will try to make another top result, so number of potential winners is big. EMX2 Championship leader Andrea Cervellin made some mistakes and his advantage in front of second Steven Lenoir is eleven points.
