It was yet another positive outing for the Ricci Racing Husqvarna team at the ninth round of the Motocross World Championship in Teutschenthal in Germany, where Alessandro Lupino finished in a solid 17th and 12th place in the weekend's two heats.

After a disastrous qualifying, Lupino proved his talent by fighting through the pack from a dead last starting positing and climbing 14 positions to finish in 17th place. He followed this up by finishing 12th in the second 19-lap race. These results put Lupino in 12th place in the championship standings.

It was an unlucky weekend for his team-mate Michael Leib, who struggled at the German circuit, making many errors and falls in the first leg, where he injured his ribs and was unable to participate in the second round.
