The fate of the UK in the European Union might be the topic dominating news headlines for the Brits in the month of June but there was plenty of ‘foreign’ talent keen to ply their trade on English soil for the Fullback British Grand Prix this weekend. The FIM Motocross World Championship nudged up to round eleven of eighteen with the wide, wonderful and whip-tastic Matterley Basin staging the British stint on the calendar for the sixth year in a row. In the premier MXGP class Slovenian Tim Gajser celebrated victory while Dutchman Jeffrey Herlings ruled MX2 once more. It was left to Frenchman Dylan Ferrandis to lead what was a frugal weekend for the Monster Energy crew by taking second place overall in MX2 and scooping his fourth podium trophy of the year and third from the last four events.
