For the 7th round of the World Championship held in Agueda, Portugal, the british Max ANSTIE of the Honda Gariboldi-Esta team on his performant CRF250R showed that he has the speed and the ability to stay regularly with the top 3 of the MX2 championship riding an impressive second moto where he started 7th and could pass all riders in front of him and finish 3rd behind Herlings and Searle for an overall 4th of the Grand Prix, his best so far this season. Anstie is now a solid fifth in the championship overall and is closing the gap with fourth Joel Roelants.
