Red Bill KTM MX1 factory rider Max Nagl put in a difficult day on the track in Aguela, Spain ahead of the Portuguese MX1 Grand Prix on Sunday, suffering from slight sunstroke from the hot Portuguese sun.

What Nagl said ahead of the Portuguese MX1 GP

"I didn't feel so well today, particularly between free practice and the time practice when I had to take a rest. I think I have been too much in the sun. I made some mistakes today. I don't really like this track so much. It"s hard to get a good grip and the surface is always changing."
