MX2

UDDEVALLA (Sweden) 25 August 2019 – With sunshine and a large Swedish crowd in attendance at the beautifully prepared Uddevalla circuit, another sensational weekend of motocross was played out at the MXGP of Sweden. A Motocross World Champion was crowned as Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado took his back-to-back title in MX2 class and two surprising winners went on top of the Podium in the MXGP and MX2 classes as Standing Construct KTM’s Glenn Coldenhoff won his second GP of the season in MXGP and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle combined his 2-2 results for an overall win in MX2. 

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings marked his return not only with a pole position from Saturday’s qualifying, he took the FOX Holeshot and led the opening MXGP race from Standing Construct KTM’s Glenn Coldenhoff, Team HRC’s Tim Gajser, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Pauls Jonass and Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP team’s Romain Febvre. Gajser was quickly into second place after passing Coldenhoff while Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP team’s JeremySeewer slipped over in the first lap.

Gajser was all over Herlings, but the Dutchman remained calm and in the lead at this debut after a few weeks off the bike. Gajser went down in a corner and dropped back to fourth place giving Herlings a major lead. After two laps the lead was more than two seconds as Coldenhoff and Febvre battled for second place.

Herlings held the control of the race, but wasn’t getting far away from Coldenhoff while Febvre and Gajser closed in on the Dutch riders while Jonass remained in fifth place. Coldenhoff moved into the lead on lap 10 after Herlings’ mistake and Febvre was also all over Herlings. Febvre and Gajser both went past Herlings, who started to really struggle with arm-pump. 

After 12 laps Coldenhoff continued to lead followed by Febvre, Gajser, Jonass, and Herlings in fifth place found himself fighting with Monster Energy Wilvo Yamaha’s Arnaud Tonus for 5^th when suddenly Herlings crashed and Tonus ran into him and both went down. Herlings got going again, although Tonus was done for the race as his bike started blowing smoke. Herlings decided to retire from the race.

Coldenhoff and Febvre battled side by side in the last laps but Coldenhoff managed to hang on and he won his third race of the season ahead of Febvre and Gajser.

The second MXGP gate dropped and Febvre took the FOX holeshot followed by Gajser, Tonus, Seewer, Jonass, Monster Energy KRT’s Tommy Searle, Monster Energy Wilvo Yamaha’s Gautier Paulin, Herlings and Coldenhoff. Febvre and Gajser were pushing hard to ensure the lead as the French held only a bunch of seconds lead over the Slovenian after five laps while back in the leading pack Seewer and Coldenhoff battled for fifth place. Finally, on lap nine Coldenhoff moved past Seewer while Gajser was still looking for a way past Febvre.

Gajser went for a wild pass on Febvre, but the Frenchman managed to remain in the lead. In the meantime Herlings managed to reach the sixth position after a start in 8th as Tonus dropped back in the field in 7th. On lap 13 Gajser eventually moved into the lead followed by Jonass, Coldenhoff and Seewer.

JWR Yamaha rider Kevin Strijbos moved into 10^th place in the late stages of the race and Herlings was closing up on Seewer for fifth position. Febvre crashed down hard and was forced to a DNF; Febvre has been taken to the hospital for further examinations. 

Coldenhoff was all over Jonass in the last lap and was fighting hard for the overall victory. Coldenhoff went through Jonass ensuring a second GP win of the season while Gajser won his 16th race of the season from Coldenhoff and Jonass.

Standing Construct KTM’s Glenn Coldenhoff won the MXGP of Sweden ahead of Team HRC’s Tim Gajser and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Pauls Jonass. 

Glenn Coldenhoff: “It was a tough weekend but I’m very satisfied. Jeffrey was in front of me in the beginning of the first race, and it is really difficult and Febvre was close at the end and I got a little nervous, but I kept it on for the win. I’m very happy about my riding now”

Tim Gajser: “I am really happy. The first race I made a mistake and a lost two places. The second race I was pushing Romain and then I thought five minutes before the end I had to pass him, and I took the lead and with one lap to go I was leading the GP, but congratulations to Glenn, he deserved it.”

Pauls Jonass: “You know its been a while since I was on the box and we worked hard to get here. The starts are the key, and they are better now, but we still need to improve them. It feels good to be up front and thanks to Rockstar Energy Husqvarna team and all my sponsors.”

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado led the field into the first lap of the opening MX2 race but it was team-mate Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle who took the FOX Holeshot. Behind the two KTM riders were F&H Racing Kawasaki’s Henry Jacobi, Team HRC’s Calvin Vlaanderen, and REVO Husqvarna rider Dylan Walsh in fifth place. Prado quickly pulled away from the pack and Vialle made a gap between himself and Jacobi.

Sanayei nearly crashed and let Vlaanderen go past after the South African rider had lost a few places. Monster Energy Kemea Yamaha Official MX2’s Jago Geerts and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Thomas Kjer Olsen did not have fantastic starts as they were in 13^th and 14^th respectively.

Two laps in and the lead was just a second and a half as Vialle tried to keep his team-mate in sight. Third was Jacobi, then Walsh and Vlaanderen while Sterry was riding fonfortable and moved into sixth place and Vlaanderen was back into fourth spot after passing Walsh.

After six laps Prado continued to lead Vialle by a little less than two seconds, as Sterry and SM Action Yamaha’s Maxime Renaux passed Walsh, dropping the New Zealander to seventh place. Geerts went down and dropped back to 16^thplace. 

Jorge Prado won the first race at the MXGP of Sweden ahead of Vialle and Jacobi and it was enough to ensure his back-to-back title in MX2 with other two rounds left. Jorge Prado had his greatest career results in 2019 as the Spaniard has in his pockets 12 pole positions, 470 laps led, 27 race win and 14 GP win out of 16 rounds at only 18 years old.

After a long celebration on Prado’s second title, the gate dropped for MX2 race 2 and Vialle took the second FOX Holeshot of the day while the American Bike It DRT Kawasaki rider Darian Sanayei led the race from Sterry, Vialle, Prado, and Jacobi. Vialle then moved into the lead in the opening lap, and Prado was just as quickly into third place. After a lap Vialle lead the top five followed by, Sterry, Prado, Sanayei and Vlaanderen but Prado made a mistake and fell in a corner and dropped back to sixth position. 

Two laps in and Vialle held a two-second lead over Sterry, with Prado dropping back to eight position as he struggled with the clutch. Vlaanderen moved into third place and Jacobi seemingly picked up an injury out of the race twisting his knee. 

After four laps Vialle led by two seconds from Sterry, then came Vlaanderen, Sanayei, Walsh, Geerts, Prado, Renaux, Olsen and Evans into the top ten.

Geerts crashed and dropped a bunch of places on lap five and found himself in 11^th place while Prado moved up to sixth. On lap nine Sterry and Vlaanderen moved closer to Vialle and the top three battled hard for the race win. Prado moved into fourth place and was 20 seconds off Vialle. 

Vlaanderen moved past Sterry and Vialle turned up the heat and moved to five seconds away from the South African. Vlaanderen moved into the lead as Vialle made a mistake and dropped to second. Vlaanderen won his first MX2 race of the season from Vialle and Sterry while Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle ensured his first GP win in MX2 with his 2-2 results, Team HRC’s Calvin Vlaanderen was second overall with 4-1 and third was Red Bull KTM Factory Racing and 2019 MX2 Champion Jorge Prado with 1-4.

Tom Vialle: “It is a fantastic weekend I took two holeshots and I got the round win. For sure it is fantastic the first race I pushed and lost a lot of energy and in the second race I took the holeshot and finished second and I won the overall. I did not expect that but it is a great feeling”

Calvin Vlaanderen: “First race I didn’t’ feel really comfortable as I had a bad start but in the second race I rode well and the two guys in front made mistakes and I was able to get the race win. Thanks to the team and my family and girlfriend to support me”

Jorge Prado: “I have no words to explain this. This year has been a great season, winning every single round I rode except this one (laugh). Thanks to everyone who is there everyday with me and supporting me. Two World titles, if you think of it, it is incredible. The second race was one of the best races of the year for me, I came from the back to fourth place and I couldn’t use the clutch because the level was bent.”

MXGP of Sweden

Uddevalla (Sweden) 24 August 2019 – The 16^th round of the FIM Motocross World Championship faced the Qualification day at the long time Motocross GP circuit of Uddevalla where, under a warm sunshine and in front of thousands of Swedish fans, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings and Jorge Prato took the first victory of the weekend. 

In addition to the MXGP and MX2 Qualifying races also the first races of the final round of the European Championship EMX250 and EXM125 Presented by FMF Racing were scheduled today with unpredictable race wins in both classes. 

In the opening EMX250 race, it was Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Mikkel Haarup who won from series leader F&H Racing Kawasaki's Roan van de Moosdijk and championship contender Honda Redmoto Assomotor’s Stephen Rubini. The points in the EMX250 championship are now as follows: 310 points for Van De Moosdijk and 297 points for Rubini while Team Maddii Racing Husqvarna’s Alberto Forato is in third with 289 points and also in contention for the championship, which will be decided tomorrow.

In EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing it was the German rider WZ-Racing Simon Laengenfelder who took victory in the first race ahead of Team VRT’s Tom Guyon and series leader Maddii Racing Husqvarna’s Mattia Guadagnini. Championship grand finale will be held tomorrow with the Italian and the French being at 285 and 267 points respectively. 

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings has won the MXGP qualification race at the MXGP of Sweden in his return to racing today. Around the undulating circuit of Uddevalla, the 2018 MXGP champion showed why many call him the fastest man on the planet, with a near perfect performance. Herlings won ahead of fellow Dutchman Standing Construct KTM team’s Glenn Coldenhoff and 2019 MXGP World Champion Team HRC's Tim Gajser. 

When the MXGP gate dropped Herlings quickly got into the lead of the MXGP qualifying race after starting around fourth, but a sweeping move in the first corner put him ahead of his countryman Coldenhoff, followed by Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP team’s Romain Febvre, Gajser and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Pauls Jonass who was in fifth. After two laps the lead was more than two seconds, as the top five remained the same.

The lead got to six seconds on lap four, but then Coldenhoff and Febvre started closing up on the leader. On the fifth lap Coldenhoff was all over Herlings but Herlings continued to hold the front spot while Gajser also started to close in the top three as the Top 5 was just 5 seconds apart.

Gajser moved into third place with a pass on Febvre and was just two seconds off Herlings’ lead and one second behind Coldenhoff while back in the leaders’ pack the two Swiss Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Seewer and Monster Energy Wilvo Yamaha’s Arnaus Tonus were battling for 6^th with the positions remaining unchanged with Seewer in 6^thand Tonus in 7^th. 

Jeffrey Herlings eventually got away from second and third and won his second qualifying race of the season on his comeback, while Glenn Coldenhoff and Tim Gajser rounded up top three. 

Jeffrey Herlings: “It was an intense race, I was struggling with arm pump indeed as it’s just one week I’m on the bike after eight weeks off. I had no expectations and I just wanted to go and have fun, practice and see what happens but the feeling there was amazing. Thanks to KTM for backing me in the bad times”

MXGP - Qualifying Race Top Ten:1. Jeffrey Herlings (NED, KTM), 23:51.313; 2. Glenn Coldenhoff (NED, KTM), +0:01.592; 3. Tim Gajser (SLO, Honda), +0:02.762; 4.

In MX2 class Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado has won his 12^th qualifying race by coming through the field on the opening half of the race after surprisingly not taking a holeshot. After starting around fifth, he passed early leader F&H Racing Kawasaki’s Adam Sterry who eventually finished third behind his own team-mate F&H Racing Kawasaki’s Henry Jacobi.

Sterry led the first lap of MX2 qualifying heat from Prado, Jacobi, Team HRC’s Calvin Vlaanderen and BIKE IT DRT Kawasaki’s Darian Sanayei in fifth place. After two laps Prado took the lead and held a two second gap on Sterry, with Jacobi third, Vlaanderen fourth and Sanayei fifth.

The lead went to four seconds on lap four while Bud Racing Kawasaki’s Brian Moreau and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team’s Thomas Kjer Olsen were battling for 7^th until Olsen crashed and dropped well back in the field in 23^rd place.

With Prado out of reach Jacobi was catching Sterry for second and both Jacobi and Vlaanderen went trough the Kawasaki rider. 

After passing Jacobi and attempting to close to the second place, Vlaanderen stalled his bike and found himself in 6^th just behind Honda Redmoto Assomotor Mathys Boisrame. 

On the final lap Vlaanderen charged Boisrame and managed to do so. Prado won the race 9 seconds ahead of Jacobi and Sterry with Sanayei and Vlaanderen finishing out the Top 5. 

Jorge Prado: “It was another great qualifying race. I had a good start but Sterry had a good start too and I was in around fifth but I managed to pass him to get the lead. I felt very comfortable today, I want to bring this game for tomorrow.”

MXGP of Sweden

Unfortunately Team HRC’s Brian Bogers will not be lining up at the MXGP of Sweden due to a right-shoulder injury sustained at Imola last weekend.

The Dutch rider was collected up in a crash by another rider in the second race at the MXGP of Italy and fell awkwardly on his AC joint, forcing him to pull out race. After seeing a specialist on Monday in Belgium, the doctor ordered him to try and rest in order to be ready for Uddevalla but unfortunately there hasn’t been enough time and Bogers will be unable to race at the weekend.

It is a big disappointment for the Honda CRF450RW rider who had had a 100% attendance record so far in the 2019 MXGP season, and was hoping to end the season strongly.

Bogers will now look to be ready for the next round in Turkey on September 7-8 which is the penultimate round of the world motocross championship.

Brian Bogers: Obviously it is a big shame to be missing the Swedish GP this weekend. I tried my best to be ready for it, making sure to rest as much as possible but it just hasn’t healed in time to be able to race at MXGP level. I rode on Thursday, just to see if it was good enough but I knew after a few laps that I wouldn’t be able to race on Sunday. My aim now is to get back fully healthy for the following round in Turkey where I really want to show everyone again what I am capable of.

2018 MXGP World Champion Jeffrey Herlings has decided to contest this weekend’s Grand Prix of Sweden at Uddevalla after making a good recovery from a fractured right ankle.

The Dutchman has made sufficient progress to be able to steer his KTM 450 SX-F at pace and return to the premier class for the second time in an injury-hit season. The 24 year old will use the sixteenth round of eighteen to gauge the level of his fitness and readiness and to accumulate valuable race mileage.

Jeffrey Herlings: “Here we go again! I’ve been riding for a couple of weeks now and feel ready to try Uddevalla. As I’ve said, 2019 is only really about the MXoN for me at Assen next month and by trying the races in Sweden we are making another step towards that goal. There is no target for this weekend other than to finish the races and find some good feeling on the bike.”

Dirk Gruebel, Team Technical Co-Ordinator & MX2 Team Manager: “It’s good to have Jeffrey riding and racing again but we have no expectations for this weekend. He is still on the way back and has chosen to use Sweden as a good opportunity to make some starts and build his speed against top level opposition. As a team we’ll be ready to give him whatever he needs to be able to race but we know this is just another step towards a full recovery and hopefully a chance to go into post-season testing with a good condition.”
