No challenge for the champions Cairoli and Herlings in Hyvinkää

HYVINKÄÄ (Finland), 13 July 2014 – Round thirteen of the FIM Motocross World Championship in Hyvinkää was unforgiving to say the least with the track embodying a full variety of dirt compound and obstacles, putting not only the riders to the test, but the teams as well as they strived to find the perfect suspension set up and tire choice to suit the circuit which proved to be more or less indecipherable. At the end of the day, MXGP is a world championship and a world championship in any sport is not supposed to be easy, although Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s duo of Antonio Cairoli and Jeffrey Herlings could have fooled you, as they both dominated both races to extend their championship points lead even further.

 

MXGP

It’s a commonly known fact ‘the tougher the better’ for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli who is undoubtedly one of the most technically gifted riders in the world. The Italian pulled two Fox Holeshots and dominated both races for his seventh overall victory this year. “I think this track was one of the toughest we have had so far, it was very bumpy and difficult but it was nice for me to get the holeshot, it always makes everything easier and I have been working hard on my starts this year and it seems to be working well,” he said.

It has been a while since we have seen Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Steven Frossard on the box, but finally he made it after charging mega hard all day for two top three finishes. Despite crashing in race two, the Frenchman bounced back hungrier than ever to take second for second overall.

The third step of the podium was hard fought today for Rockstar Energy Suzuki World’s Kevin Strijbos who stood on that same step for the sixth time this year. Strijbos admitted the day was difficult and very physically demanding saying: “after the first race I was out of power, I felt like I had already raced three heats and then I had a really bad start in the second heat, so I was like dead last, I just thought to myself I need to save energy and then push at the end and that’s what I did so it worked out ok.”

Proving just how testing the circuit here in Hyvinkää is, Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Van Horebeek uncharacteristically crashed in race two and destroyed the front end of his bike. A pit stop with some quick repairs, the Belgian gritted his teeth and soldiered on despite his handlebars being insanely bent. Remarkably the twenty-four year old managed to salvage tenth place, which in combination with his second place in race one, rewarded him with fourth overall.

Out of the eight rounds Team HRC’s Max Nagl has contested, he has banked seven top five finishes with today’s fifth overall being the seventh.

Meanwhile performance of the day has to go to Red Bull IceOne Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Dean Ferris who, after nine months off of racing motocross and only just recovering from injury, proved he is a real force in the MXGP class after mixing it with the top five in both motos to take home sixth and fifth for sixth overall.

MX2

What more can we say about Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings? The kid’s riding speaks for itself as he dominated both races by over a minute to take home his forty-third MX2 Grand Prix overall at the tender age of nineteen. With his double victory here today, it’s more than likely the Dutch sensation will claim FIM MX2 World Title number three at the next round of MXGP in Loket, Czech Republic.

Another solid result for Honda Gariboldi rider Tim Gajser who claimed his fourth podium finish of the year with second overall. Looking at the championship standings, the Slovenian is in fifth; only thirteen points shy of Dylan Ferrandis in fourth and a further three from Romain Febvre in third. The seventeen year old said, “I know I have closed the gap to third and fourth, so I will work hard to try and get there.”

Despite being a little black and blue with bruises from yesterday’s huge crash in qualifying, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jordi Tixier toughed it out today to take second and fourth for third overall.

Meanwhile it was a very frustrating day in the office for CLS Kawasaki Monster Energy’s Dylan Ferrandis, who charged hard in race one to cross the line in second only to be penalized for passing on a waving yellow flag which dropped him back to twelfth after a deduction of ten positions. In race two the Frenchman redeemed himself with a second place he could keep, landing him in fourth overall.

Yamaha Factory Racing’s Christophe Charlier battled the gnarly conditions all day long with a hard fought fourth in race one and a tenth in race two for fifth overall and his best result of the season.

Team Italy for MXoN is announced

Following the press conference here at MXGP of Finland, the team which has been selected to represent Italy at the 2014 Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations in Kegums, Latvia was announced.

Mr. Thomas Traversini, Italy’s Team Manager, revealed the team will consist of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli, DP19 Yamaha Racing’s David Philippaerts and TM Ricci Racing’s Davide Guarneri. Cairoli will be competing on a KTM250SX-F as the MX2 rider while Guarneri and Philippaerts will remain on their 450’s as the Open and MXGP class contenders.

Mr. Traversini said “It is like a present for Team Italy for Antonio to sacrifice himself and go back to a 250 bike so the team has the best chance at a good result”.

Cairoli said “It has been almost seven years since I rode a MX2 bike but for the last two years I have won at the motocross of nations so I am happy with what I have achieved and I want Italy to achieve the best position we can. I don’t think it could be any other way, I am the smallest and the lightest and I think going from a 350 to a 250 is not such a big step. I know it won’t be easy, I don’t expect a lot but I will do my best.”

Cairoli and Herlings on pole for MXGP of Finland

HYVINKÄÄ (Finland), 12 July 2014 – Hyvinkää brings out those emotions you get when your local track gets its first ‘big-time’ race. It has a homely feel with flowing loamy turns and tricky sand straights that get incredibly chopped up and technically challenging. Proving to be the masters of the sand, as predicted, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s pair of champions Antonio Cairoli and Jeffrey Herlings bagged pole in their respective classes.

Meanwhile also taking place here at MXGP of Finland, the first races of the European Championships EMX65, EMX85, EMX250 and EMX300.

Starting with the little dudes, Russian Maksim Kraev ran away for the first EMX65 race win ahead of fellow Russian Nikita Kucherov while super Swede Noel Nilsson recovered from a hugely impressive superman/indian air/nac-nac turn crash, to wrap up an impressive third.

In the EMX85, Belgium’s future star Jago Geerts put in a sensational ride claim the maximum twenty-five points while Holland’s Roan Van De Moosdijk took second with local kid Kim Savaste rounding out the top three.

With all three growing up racing in the sand of Belgium and Holland, Creymert Racing’s Brent Van Doninck, HSF Logistics Motorsport Team’s Brian Bogers and Kemea Yamaha Racing Team’s Nick Kouwenberg came home in first, second and third in the EMX250 respectively, while in the EMX300 TM Racing Team’s Samuele Bernardini dominated from start to finish for his eighth race win of the season. GL12 Racing’s Lewis Gregory came home in second with Wilvo Forkrent KTM’s Kenny Van Dueren rounding out the top three.

 

MXGP

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli welcomed everyone to the Tony Cairoli show today when he had his KTM350SX-F tapped off the start to take the holeshot and run away for his fifth pole position of the season.

Meanwhile behind the defending champ, BikeIT Yamaha Cosworth’s Rui Gonçalves was feeling it, chasing TC222 around turn one and finally showing what he is really capable of, while Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Van Horebeek and Hitachi Construction Machinery UK KTM’s Shaun Simpson followed.

Before the end of lap three, Van Horebeek made a nice move up the inside of Gonçalves to take over second, but was already up against the eight ball for the win with Cairoli out front making the most of his clear track.

Engaging in one of the most impressive battles of the race, Gonçalves kept a tenacious Simpson at bay for at least half the heat before relenting and settling for fourth.

Despite a mediocre start, CLS Kawasaki Monster Energy’s Tommy Searle got creative out there to push his way into fifth and round out the top five while props have to be given to Swedish Filip Bengtsson who was hauling all day, remarkably topping the charts in both free and timed practice and finishing his day off with a sixth place finish in the qualifying heat race.

MXGP Qualifying Race top ten: 1. Antonio Cairoli (ITA, KTM), 23:43.894; 2. Jeremy Van Horebeek (BEL, Yamaha), +0:09.461; 3. Shaun Simpson (GBR, KTM), +0:13.782; 4. Rui Goncalves (POR, Yamaha), +0:15.663; 5. Tommy Searle (GBR, Kawasaki), +0:20.507; 6. Filip Bengtsson (SWE, KTM), +0:23.730; 7. Kevin Strijbos (BEL, Suzuki), +0:27.886; 8. David Philippaerts (ITA, Yamaha), +0:28.907; 9. Nathan Watson (GBR, Husqvarna), +0:29.773; 10. Maximilian Nagl (GER, Honda), +0:31.514.

 

MX2

The thrills and spills of MX2’s qualifying heat race here in Hyvinkää made it easily the most captivating qualifying race of the season. With sand being the surface, most would have expected Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings to run away with it, and while the Flying Dutchman did win; it was far from an easy feat.

When the gates dropped, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jordi Tixier was the man who threw together the best jump, traction and gear shifts to take the holeshot ahead of the local hero Sahkar Racing’s Harri Kullas, CLS Kawasaki Monster Energy’s Dylan Ferrandis and Standing Construct KTM’s Valentin Guillod. Herlings came around turn one in sixth but wasting no time in typical Herlings fashion had already moved into second before the end of lap one.

By the end of lap two Herlings had drag raced his teammate Tixier down the back straight to take over the lead. While Tixier appeared more determined than ever to hold onto the back of the reigning world champ he soon came undone with a horrendous crash over the finish line jump.

Like dominoes, the riders started dropping with the ‘most surprising fall award’ going to Herlings who was pinning it around a berm which broke away at the exit high siding him off the bike and knocking the wind out of him.

While Herlings struggled to get his breath back, CLS Kawasaki Monster Energy’s Dylan Ferrandis and Standing Construct KTM’s Valentin Guillod inherited the first and second positions.

While Guillod pushed to keep Ferrandis honest, the same corner that caught Herlings out was causing absolute carnage with riders like Yamaha Factory Racing’s Christophe Charlier, Honda Gariboldi’s Tim Gajser and Wilvo Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Romain Febvre being just a few of a handful to fall victim to the tricky turn.

As the race went on, Herlings who had only lost a few positions, slowly started to regain his rhythm, charging past the Fin Kullas, who was doing an amazing job in third, before going to work on Guillod. Speaking of the Swiss sensation Guillod, an ‘A’ for effort has to be given as he held off the hot favorite for at least ten minutes.

After eating roost off of the back wheel of Guillod’s Standing Construct KTM, Herlings soon had had enough and made an aggressive pass on the Swiss rider. After moving into second it was four laps to go for the champ who was about eight seconds down on the leader Ferrandis. Nevertheless, he was determined and it was obvious there is no way ‘The King of Sand’ would want to be beaten on his number one surface.

With two laps to go, it was evident it would be a race to the finish. Herlings had closed right up on Ferrandis who had taken a look over his shoulder and caught a glimpse of the red plated number 84 machine. While the Frenchman rode phenomenal in what was one of the best qualifying race show-downs of the season, about fifteen seconds from the checkers the eager Dutchman threw in a scrub and got his weight right back for maximum traction to out drag the CLS Kawasaki rider and take over the lead for the race win.

Guillod came home in a convincing third, twenty-one seconds clear of Kemea Yamaha Racing’s Petar Petrov and Sahkar Racing’s local lad Harri Kullas, who both obtained their best place finishes of the season in fourth and fifth respectively.

MX2 Qualifying Race top ten: 1. Jeffrey Herlings (NED, KTM), 23:32.491; 2. Dylan Ferrandis (FRA, Kawasaki), +0:00.386; 3. Valentin Guillod (SUI, KTM), +0:08.644; 4. Petar Petrov (BUL, Yamaha), +0:29.617; 5. Harri Kullas (FIN, KTM), +0:32.289; 6. Julien Lieber (BEL, Suzuki), +0:36.672; 7. Jose Butron (ESP, KTM), +0:41.318; 8. Pauls Jonass (LAT, KTM), +0:43.458; 9. Aleksandr Tonkov (RUS, Husqvarna), +0:44.411; 10. Vsevolod Brylyakov (RUS, Honda), +0:51.709.

Celebrating the future and the past at MXGP of Finland

Yesterday afternoon at MXGP of Finland, the Finnish federation hosted an opening ceremony here in Hyvinkää at round thirteen of the FIM Motocross World Championship.

During the presentation Finnish officials such as Mr. Kurt Ljugvist, CEO of the Finnish Motorcycling Federation, and Mr. Juha Henrikssonm, President of Hyvinkää Motorsport Club, along with Finnish greats such as Antti Pyrhönen, team manager of Red Bull IceOne Husqvarna Factory Racing, shared their thanks and pleasure to have yet another round of MXGP in Finland.

Following the quick speeches of the Finnish officials, a new organization promoting safety in motocross was introduced. MX Safety is a society whose objective is to collect information and feedback from racers on how they can improve safety within our sport. The aim is that all the riders, fans, personnel and sponsors speak up and share their thoughts on how to make motocross as safe as possible. Rounding out the introduction of this new phase in motorcycle safety, a few people wrote a message on special pit-boards which will be shared on MX Safety’s social media networks.

Meanwhile a little later in the day another media opportunity took place, and a pretty awesome one at that, loads of vintage motorcycles took to the original Hyvinkää Grand Prix circuit which is located approximately one kilometer from the newer and more modern circuit which MXGP uses today.

Around twenty riders showed up with bikes from the era of the 60’s right through to the early 80’s. Plenty of people showed up to witness the extremely loud and roaring sound of the past and also to show some appreciation for the riders who dusted off the retro bikes which almost required their entire bodyweight to start, with drum brake systems which are just about as effective as a set of V-brakes.

Just like the old school bikes, the old circuit is super gnarly. It wasn’t groomed in the slightest and had loads of elevation with a sandy yet extremely rocky base. A nice challenge for the old-school bikes that aren’t exactly equipped with state of the art suspension and brakes. Nevertheless it was a cool experience and was especially cool to see a legend such as ten times FIM Motocross World Champion Stefan Everts ripping around along with the future stars like CLS Kawasaki Monster Energy’s Thomas Covington and Sahkar Racing’s Harri Kullas.
