Mickael Pichon (Suzuki) won both motos yesterday at the Portugal 250 Motocross GP, taking the overall victory with Pit Beirer (Kawasaki) second overall (2/2) and Mickael Maschio (Kawasaki) third (4/3).

American Ryan Hughes (Honda) injured his wrist in practice, and was in too much pain (despite painkiller injections) to race. Initial X-Rays failed to reveal any broken bones in the wrist, but the pain level indicated that a break is a possibility, and further tests will be conducted on Hughes today in Germany.

After two rounds of the 250 championship series, Pichon has a 17-point lead over second-place Beirer, with privateer Gordon Crockard (Honda) in third.
