Yamaha Monster Energy racer, Gautier Paulin, has secured his third consecutive podium of the season, this time in Agueda, Portugal for round 6 of the FIM Motocross World championship.
The talented Frenchman, steered his Yamaha YZ250F to a reasonable start in moto 1 but lost touch to the leading trio early on in the race when he went into the back of Osborne and crashed. After finding a good rythym Paulin put in a last minute charge to close down Max Anstie and Zach Osborne. In a last lap dash he tried all he could to pass Anstie and it was a photo finish with Anstie just getting the advantage.
I better jump in moto had Paulin in the top 6 on lap one. He pushed hard to make up a few positions and with Ken Roczen crashing out in mid moto Paulin quickly moved past Osborne for third spot to secure second overall for the GP.
“ I’m always happy to be on the podium but I am disappointed that I could not get a good start and run with the guys up front. I proved in the first moto after I had a crash that I could run the same lap times as the leaders. I want to make it happen now and I feel really good on the bike. My next goal is to fight for GP wins.” Said Paulin.
