In the second moto he crashed in the opening lap and was too far back to score points in the second race. Overall he finished in 20th position and this is his position in the championship as well.
In the MXGP class it was Jacobi who took a really good start in the opening moto and started the race in tenth position.

Both riders started the second moto inside of the top fifteen. Jacobi was riding in thirteenth position till after the middle of the race. He wasn’t able to held on this position and finished the race in fifteenth spot. Monticelli was riding a consistent race and after a strong end of the moto he came home in fourteenth position.
