Hopes of going \u20183-2-1\u2019 were bolstered by a close second in the opening moto at Bastogne, but a small fall in race two left him fifth overall.<\/p>\n<p>Paulin said: \u201cI had a good feeling in the first race, controlled my race and my last lap was my fastest. My second start was not so good, and then I made a couple of mistakes. I didn&#8217;t feel so comfortable so I didn\u2019t take any risks.\u201d<br \/>\nPaulin remains fourth in the standings, just nine points from second place.<\/p>\n<p>Three positions behind is team-mate Xavier Boog, who took a moto win in Brazil and has scored points in all 16 races so far. Boog, just one point from sixth in the championship and 26 from fifth, said: \u201cI\u2019m not so far from the fifth position in the standings, but I can&#8217;t afford any more bad starts.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second half of the 2012 FIM Motocross World Championship kicks-off in Uddevalla, Sweden on July 1, with Gautier Paulin proudly leading the Dunlop challenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[92],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dunlop"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Dunlop in the hunt as MXGP second-half starts in Sweden - TyreTrade.ie<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/dunlop-in-the-hunt-as-mxgp-second-half-starts-in-sweden\/782\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Dunlop in the hunt as MXGP second-half starts in Sweden - TyreTrade.ie\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The second half of the 2012 FIM Motocross World Championship kicks-off in Uddevalla, Sweden on July 1, with Gautier Paulin proudly leading the Dunlop challenge.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/dunlop-in-the-hunt-as-mxgp-second-half-starts-in-sweden\/782\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TyreTrade.ie\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2012-06-29T11:59:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2012-06-29T13:30:17+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Padraic Deane\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Padraic Deane\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/dunlop-in-the-hunt-as-mxgp-second-half-starts-in-sweden\/782#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/dunlop-in-the-hunt-as-mxgp-second-half-starts-in-sweden\/782\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Padraic Deane\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/#\/schema\/person\/e4b00cc4024327c3ca5be3508eb2d205\"},\"headline\":\"Dunlop in the hunt as MXGP second-half starts in Sweden\",\"datePublished\":\"2012-06-29T11:59:31+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2012-06-29T13:30:17+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/dunlop-in-the-hunt-as-mxgp-second-half-starts-in-sweden\/782\"},\"wordCount\":297,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/#organization\"},\"articleSection\":[\"Dunlop\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/dunlop-in-the-hunt-as-mxgp-second-half-starts-in-sweden\/782\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/dunlop-in-the-hunt-as-mxgp-second-half-starts-in-sweden\/782\",\"name\":\"Dunlop in the hunt as MXGP second-half starts in Sweden - TyreTrade.ie\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2012-06-29T11:59:31+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2012-06-29T13:30:17+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/dunlop-in-the-hunt-as-mxgp-second-half-starts-in-sweden\/782#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/dunlop-in-the-hunt-as-mxgp-second-half-starts-in-sweden\/782\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/dunlop-in-the-hunt-as-mxgp-second-half-starts-in-sweden\/782#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Dunlop in the hunt as MXGP second-half starts in Sweden\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/\",\"name\":\"TyreTrade.ie\",\"description\":\"Ireland&#039;s Publication for the Tyre &amp;
