MX2

When Antonio Cairoli DNFed the Saturday qualification race and Jorge Prado finished second to Thomas Kjer Olsen, many inside the GP paddock might have figured that the weekend might not be an orange wash after-all. Well, on Sunday, when Cairoli and Prado went 1-1-1-1 the competitions greatest nightmare arrived.

Just like in 2018, the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team came into this season as the heavy favourites in both MXGP and MX2 and not even an off-season injury to defending MXGP champion Jeffrey Herlings could stop that favouritism.

For Cairoli, without the Dutchman on the start line didn’t change his mind-set and motivation to finally win at the beautiful circuit in Argentina.

“I am happy overall,” Cairoli said.  “Because after yesterday I wasn’t sure about the start. There isn’t much different on this track and it is hard to gain time. I got two good starts, both in top ten, first moto even five even. I fought hard in that second moto and I could watch some good lines from the guys in front and took the overall. I was looking forward to this win on this track. It was a high rhythm and I was there, trying to see where I could gain some time. I saw Tim and I was doing different lines and I didn’t want to do it, but decided to push in this part and I could stay close and make the pass. It was unbelievable. I can’t go around in the city and it’s even worse than in Sicily when I do the Italian championship. I like it a lot, but it is hard to match. I can’t walk around much and I can’t watch the track a lot, but I like it, and it’s great to have such a feeling so far from home.”

As for Prado, his starts were never an issue as he once again was inside the top three out of the gate and didn’t waste time in hitting the lead in both races and running away with his 1-1 result.

“It was great to be back at the GP’s and it’s a long off season. I woke up and felt great and the starts were important. Twice first and first overall, and leading the championship again. Saturday I felt good. I don’t need to win everything to win the championship, Saturday I felt good, but Sunday I woke up and felt way better. I had good starts and my rhythm was good in both moto’s and I did what I had to do, consistent lap times and having fun until the end. It is a track that everybody likes probably, because everybody can go fast you know. It is tough to make a gap or difference on this track. It is kind of a strange track, wide open everywhere. I don’t say I don’t like it, because in one way I don’t, because it is so hard to make a difference between your rivals, but it is so fun to ride.”

Now onto Matterley Basin in a couple of weeks’ time, and once again, the same mind-set remains for both Cairoli and Prado, hopefully another KTM domination.

Following a heavy fall in Race 2 at the opening round of the FIM Motocross World Championship in Patagonia, Argentina, Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP's Romain Febvre will undergo surgery next week to repair a severely broken ankle. 

After taking the first Qualifying Race victory of the season, Febvre was looking in top form to put chase to his second MXGP World Title. The former World Champion finished third in Race 1 and was running in third-position in Race 2 when he unfortunately caught an edge in the wave section and was thrown from his YZ450FM. He landed heavily on his right ankle and was immediately taken to the Medical Centre for examination. While he was cleared from injury in Argentina, he was in an immense amount of pain and decided to see another doctor for a second opinion upon arrival in Belgium, the country in which the Frenchman resides. 

Earlier today, the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP star went to the University Hospital Antwerp (UZA) where top Orthopaedic specialist Dr. Geert Peersman confirmed he has broken his Talus (ankle) in two places. The injury requires surgical repair, which is scheduled for Tuesday 12th March, and is expected to take six weeks to heal after the date of the operation. 

An update on his return to racing will be shared on www.Yamaha-Racing.com and Yamaha's Official social media platforms when available.

Romain Febvre, Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP Rider, "Sad news today. I broke the Talus bone in my ankle. I feel really sad, not only for myself but for my entire team and all of the people involved. This is how it is; these things are part of our sport. Now I need to focus on getting it fixed with an operation next Tuesday, and then I can start my rehabilitation. I will try to be back on the bike as soon as possible, right now they are saying around six weeks more or less, but even when I get back on the bike I will have lost a lot of time and physical condition with no training. I will see when I am back on the bike how things are going and what I am focusing on, until then I can not say too much. The main goal is to get my foot fixed." 

Massimo Raspanti, Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP Team Manager: "Obviously we are really saddened to hear this news, also for Romain. He worked really hard this winter. Things were looking really positive for him. In Argentina he was fast in both practice sessions and then he won the Qualifying Race so we were really excited for the races and the rest of the season. He was riding well in the races, he set the fastest lap of the GP, so he is very unlucky to crash and be in this situation now. Now we will focus on getting him healthy and back to 100% and hope to come back and finish the season strong."

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 5 March 2019 – Youthstream announces that the fifth round of the 2019 FIM Motocross World Championship foreseen as the MXGP of China in Shanghai has been rescheduled due to the terrible and exceptional weather conditions that occurred in the Shanghai region for the last 4 months with continuous heavy rain.

The change of date comes after the official requests of the Chinese National Federation CAMF and the local Organizer to FIM and Youthstream. The MXGP of China in Shanghai will be a major event in the annual calendar of the People’s Republic of China and up until today the exceptional non-stop period of rain completely blocked the work of preparing the venue and the build-up of the track. The forecast for the upcoming weeks is the same and those conditions could bring a high risk of cancelling the event.

The weather conditions forced the decision of holding the Shanghai Grand Prix on the 14th and 15th of September.

Meanwhile the organizing delegation for the event joined by high representatives of Shanghai region including Deputy Director General, Shanghai Administration of Sports Mr.Luo Wenhua and Deputy Mayor, Shanghai Fengxian District People's Government Ms.Yuan Yuan that have made a visit to the MXGP of Patagonia Argentina to experience the racing first hand and prepare to host their own round. Aside from enjoying the racing the delegation has toured the facilities and will take valuable information back to Shanghai as they continue to prepare for what will now be round 18 of the 2019 FIM Motocross World Championship.

NEUQUEN (Patagonia Argentina) 03 March 2019 – The first round of the 2019 FIM Motocross World Championship season is in the books. The MXGP of Patagonia Argentina hosted MXGP for the fifth year and again provided amazing racing. The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing duo of Antonio Cairoli and Jorge Prado each took double race wins to score the first respective MXGP and MX2 overall wins of the new year.

Saturday’s Qualifying set the stage for today’s Championship races where over 30,000 fans lined the beautiful Patagonian circuit. Even with the venue nestled between two lakes and along the Andes mountains all eyes were on the epic racing.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli was the favorite for the first MXGP round but it wasn’t an easy weekend by any means for the 9-time champion. Saturday’s Qualifying races left the #222 on the far outside gate after not finishing due to a bike issue yesterday.

When the racing kicked off Cairoli’s KTM was back better than ever, but Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Julien Lieber took the Fox Holeshot. The lead for Lieber was short lasted as Cairoli took over on the first official lap.

Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP’s Romain Febvre, who came into the race as the qualifying race winner, was into second position by the end of the first lap leaving Lieber to fight for position with his Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Teammate Clement Desalle and Team HRC’s Tim Gajser. The pair also dispatched the #33 pushing him to 5^th.

During the next three laps Lieber dropped 2 more spots first to Monster Energy Wilvo Yamaha Official MXGP’s Gautier Paulin and next to fellow Belgian Jeremy Van Horebeek on his HONDA SR MOTOBLOUZ bike.

Tim Gajser was the rider on the move in race one though as he passed Desalle for second then reeled in Febvre and took 2^nd. With 5 laps remaining Cairoli was long gone in the lead but Gajser keep pushing to open a gap over Febvre.

The race win went to Cairoli in a dominating performance with Gajser, Febvre, Desalle, and Paulin rounding out the top 5. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Arminas Jasikonis and Pauls Jonass battled throughout the late stages of the race after both made it by Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP’s Jeremy Seewer. Jasikonis eventually came out ahead of Jonass as the pair finished 8^th and 9^th and Seewer took the final spot in the top ten.

MXGP Race 2 started with another Fox Holeshot from Julien Lieber while Cairoli came out of the first turn around 5^th avoiding a crash that involved Paulin, Desalle, and Seewer. Seewer was the first get going coming across the first lap in 15^th while Desalle was 16^th and Paulin 19^th. Lieber lost the advantage earned by his holeshot when he fell on the opening lap as well getting back up in 18^th.

Febvre took over the lead from Lieber with Gajser giving chase and Cairoli closing in to the fight for the lead. BOS Factory’s Tommy Searle was in 4^th but dropped a spot to Van Horebeek early in the race while Standing Construct KTM’s Ivo Monticelli took 6^th from RFX KTM Racing’s Shaun Simpson.

Monticelli’s Standing Construct KTM Teammate Max Anstie took 6^th from the Italian on the 5^th lap and then sized up fellow Brit Tommy Searle for 5^th position. Meanwhile the battle for the lead turned into an all-out but short-lived brawl as Cairoli miraculously passed both Gajser and Febvre in the same section.

With Cairoli taking the spot from Febvre the Slovenian of Gajser found a way past the Frenchman as well. On the 14^th lap of 18 Febvre crashed out of the race in the roller section giving Van Horebeek 3^rd and moving Anstie and Searle into the top 5.

Desalle and Paulin worked forward together throughout the race after the first turn crash with Paulin taking 5^th from Searle with 3 laps to go while Desalle made a pass on the #100 in the last lap.

At the finish it was Cairoli who managed to hold of a consistently fast Gajser for the first MXGP overall victory of 2019 and his 16th consecutive season with a GP victory. Gajser’s pair of second place finishes took him to the podium as well while Van Horebeek surprised many with his 6-3 race finishes to earn 3^rd and his first podium since the 2017 season where he finished 3^rd at MXGP of Europe in Valkenswaard and 2^nd at this same venue prior.

Antonio Cairoli, “I am happy overall today because after yesterday I wasn't sure how I will do off the starts. The rhythm was high in the beginning but I was just trying to see where I could gain some time. I managed to have 2 good starts, both were in the top ten...I found some good lines and I had a good race taking the overall which makes me really happy. There are a lot of Argentinian fans who cheer for me all year on social media so it is nice to give them a win especially on this track which I have never had the chance to win at, I was close last year but it is always nice to race where people don't see us often and make them happy."

Tim Gajser, “It was good, I am really happy, yesterday I had a big crash and today I was a bit sore. In the first race I had a solid start inside the top ten and had to work hard to come through the pack but I finished 2nd which was good. In the second race I was a bit tight and didn't relax, then Febvre and Tony passed me. I tried to stay with them to see where I was loosing time then I passed Romain and with Tony we were about the same times, I tried to push but couldn't get closer. It was a nice race and I'm looking forward to the next round already."

Jeremy Van Horebeek, "It is still unbelievable, until two weeks ago I didn't know we would be here so it has been a crazy ride since last year. I am so thankful to this team for giving me the chance. I am thankful and I am going to keep on working to make this a great season."

MX2 Championship racing was the first to start off the day and as early as the first turn the unexpected happened with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle taking the Fox Holeshot in his first ever FIM Motocross World Championship race.

Vialle’s lead quick went to the defending MX2 World Champion Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s but the young French rider held his own as the race progressed. F&H Racing Kawasaki’s Henry Jacobi took second during lap 2 and then worked to catch Prado.

Saturday’s Qualifying winner, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Thomas Kjer Olsen, spun off the gate and was fight his way forward from outside the top 5 in the early stages of the race. Between Vialle in 3^rd and Olsen was Honda 114 Motorsport’s Mitch Evans, Team HRC’s Calvin Vlaanderen, and Monster Energy Kemea Yamaha Official MX2’s Jago Geerts.

However, in only 5 laps Olsen moved up 4 positions to just behind Jacobi who was in second. During this time Prado had done damage to anyone else’s chance of winning by putting in 3 consecutive fastest laps of the race and growing a massive gap.

It took 3 laps for Olsen to make a pass on Jacobi stick as the Kawasaki rider didn’t let the spot go easily. Prado’s gap proved to be too big for Olsen to overcome and the Spaniard took the race win while Jacobi finished 3^rd, Vlaanderen 4^th, and MX2 rookie Mitch Evans took 5^th.

Race 2 was another Red Bull KTM holeshot but this time it went to Jorge Prado with Evans running in 2nd and Olsen 3^rd. Monster Energy Kemea Yamaha Official MX2’s Ben Watson was off to a good start as well, but a handful of mistakes dropped him from 4^th to outside the top ten early.

Vlaanderen took over the 4^th position vacated by Watson and Vialle moved to 5^th while at the Prado again pulled a gap. Olsen was able to get by the #43 of Evans and closed slightly on Prado but still was several seconds behind.

F&H Racing’s Adam Sterry and Henry Jacobi were making progress as Sterry took 5^th from Vialle who then dropped another spot to Jacobi. Sterry stayed in 5^th for nearly 5 laps but crashed just before the challenging wave section. The fall gave Jacobi 5^th but dropped Sterry to 9^th where he would finish.

At the finish line it was Jorge Prado who took the overall win and 50 points allowing him to retain the red plate earned last season. Olsen took second overall matching his 2018 result in Patagonia while Australia’s Mitch Evans took 3^rd overall in what his first ever MX2 race!

Jorge Prado, “It was great to be back at the GPs, it is a long season but I have so much fun. Yesterday I had a good day but today I woke up and felt even better. I had 2 good starts which is very important because everyone is going fast and it is hard to make a difference. I am very happy with two firsts, for first overall, and points lead so it is a good start to the season."

Thomas Kjer Olsen, “The first race I did slide on the gate...I felt like a came through the pack pretty good but once I got to second Prado was already like 12 seconds ahead so I tried to save some energy for the second race. Again not the greatest of starts but we will go back and work on those for sure to be more consistent. Overall I feel my riding was good and I felt good on the bike so I'm happy about that and it is a great feeling at the start of the season."

Mitch Evans, “I couldn't be any happier, I didn't really know what to expect being my first GP.  I enjoyed every moment of it, it was awesome being here, the fans were awesome so I really enjoyed it. I knew the work that we put in during the off season and the preseason races that we had if I got good starts I could run with these boys."
