In the Portuguese Agueda, Clement Desalle (Suzuki) has won the seventh GP in the MX1 class. Desalle won the first moto and in the second moto a third place was enough to take his first victory of the season. For Desalle it is the third time in a row that he can win this GP.

Frenchman Gautier Paulin (Kawasaki) won the second moto and climbed onto the podium in second place. Reigning world champion Antonio Cairoli finished third in the final standings with a third and a second place.

For Desalle it is a great relief after the difficult start to the season: “I am really happy to have taken my first victory. However, the second series wasn't as good. I lost a lot of strength after my bad start and once I was in the lead I had to let Cairoli and Paulin pass again. It was also an emotional victory. After I unexpectedly lost my grandfather last week, the past few weeks have been really difficult. He is always close in my thoughts! Next week in Belgium I hope to take victory again in front of my own audience.”

Ken de Dycker crossed the line in fifth place in the first heat. In the second moto Keeno returned from the very back to fifth place, which was also his place in the final standings. Kevin Strijbos finished 13th in the day's results with a 15th and a 10th place.

In the World Cup standings, Cairoli remains the leader with 295p. Desalle takes back a few points and is back in second place with his victory. He is now 37 points behind Cairoli. Gautier Paulin follows third with 255p
