On an awe-inspiring stage for racing and in front of 42,000 noisy fans Team CP377 Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Christophe Pourcel was superlative to win the first moto by a massive one and a half minutes despite starting from 20th in the gate.

The track was as much of a character as the riders themselves on this first of two South American flyaways. The dusty conditions on Saturday even caused the riders to group together and sit out the qualification heats.

All four Monster-supported riders made the semi-finals in a tough battle in Prague, but it was Tomasz who hit the box once again.

This was always going to be a pretty tough round, with home team Slovenia knowing the track inside out and Ukraine bringing a team of mega-talented kids, but the Americans wanted it so much more than the rest and it showed.
