The Husqvarna Ricci Racing rider managed a 12th and 17th place, which put him in 14th place in the provisional MX2 world championship standings after four rounds of this year's 15-round series.

Unfortunately his teammate Andrea Cervellin (deputising for the injured Michael Leib) failed to finish in the points in Brazil. The Italian suffered from the very hot Brazilian climate and although he did record good times in the early stages, his pace dropped towards the end of each race and he was unable to score championship points.

There is now a week off before the GP of France and Michael Leib is recovering day by day. We will keep you posted as to his condition and let you know in a few days if he will participate at the French MX GP.
