Press release Tuesday 15th July 2008 By Daniele Rizzi

After round nine of the FIM Motocross World Championship at Uddevalla, Sweden, on July 6, here are the updated season statistics. AXO KTM Silver Action’s Jonathan Barragan walked away from the Swedish round with the second season’s GP win to become level in victories with Sebastien Pourcel, as they are those who won the most so far in 2008.

Barragan and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Max Nagl won one heat each as Lovemytime Pole Position Award winner Steve Ramon of Teka Suzuki WMX1 took second on the podium, marking his comeback to the rostrum after his maiden win in wet Bellpuig.

The defending Champion has taken two poles, as many as team mate Ken de Dycker, but Lovemytime standings leader Pourcel remains far ahead with four Lovemytime Awards. Though the latter has not been the quickest in qualifying since Mallory Park.

Yamaha Monster Motocross’ David Philippaerts completed the Swedish rostrum to defend the red plate which he holds since Portugal. CAS Honda’s Steve Boniface, who announced he closed a deal with the team to race the remaining part of the 2008 season in Sweden, celebrated by leading 13 laps in the heats.
