The second round of the FIM Women’s Motocross World Championship was an eventful one today at Mantova, where the series had never been before.
KTM Germany’s Stephanie Laier came back to action with style after she missed round one in Bulgaria due to a damaged ligament in her right shoulder. Laier took a clean sweep in Mantova, winning from Yamaha Van Beers Racing’s Katherine Prumm and Suzuki Inotec’s Larissa Papenmeier. The latter came back to the podium after the last moto crash in Sevlievo, leaving her with a damaged right foot. Livia Lancelot was fourth ahead of Ashley Fiolek.
Top five overall: 1. Stephanie Laier (GER, KTM), 50 points; 2. Katherine Prumm (NZL, Yamaha), 44 p.; 3. Larissa Papenmeier (GER, Suzuki), 36 p.; 4. Livia Lancelot (FRA, Kawasaki), 35 p.; 5. Ashley Fiolek (USA, Honda), 34 p.
MOTO 1
Fiolek took an early lead with Lancelot and Laier chasing her for the first place; at the fourth lap both the rivals moved past the American, who was then handed one position because Lancelot stalled the bike. Laier found herself alone at the lead and rode solid to take victory from Prumm, who had worked her way up from fourth. Papenmeier and Franke ended respectively third and fourth as both moved past Fiolek in the final lap. Lancelot ended sixth.
Top five: 1. Stephanie Laier (GER, KTM), 25:52.655; ; 2. Katherine Prumm (NZL, Yamaha), +0:22.005; 3. Larissa Papenmeier (GER, Suzuki), +0:31.040; 4. Maria Franke (GER, Kawasaki), +0:39.712; 5. Ashley Fiolek (USA, Honda), +0:44.853
