MX2

Three years ago a new team made its bid for an established place in the paddock as Kemea Yamaha Racing took shape under the guidance of Hans Corvers and Marnicq Bervoets. In 2014 they have hired the talents of Aussie SX and MX champion Luke Styke alongside returning teenager Petar Petrov to try to steer the blue and white bikes into the top ten of the MX2 World Championship, a goal which Corvers really believes they are on their way to fulfilling.

MXGP of Spain

FUNCHAL (Portugal), 7 May 2014 - After a two-year hiatus, Spain is back on the FIM Motocross World Championship calendar and is all set to host MXGP’s round seven at the classic style circuit of Talavera de la Reina. Embodying a mixed soil base of hard clay and soft sand, loads of elevation and beautifully sculpted jumps, the circuit of Talavera de la Reina is one of only three circuits this year to of not hosted a round of the FIM Motocross World Championship in the last decade. This weekend no rider will have a mental edge with no-one in either MXGP or MX2 to have had previous FIM Motocross World Championship experience on this circuit, meaning the doors for podium performance predictions are left wide open.

Also joining MXGP at the track of Talavera de la Reina, which is located approximately 130 kilometers southwest of Spain’s capital Madrid, the European Championships EMX250 and EMX300 will line up for their second rounds of the season. It will be a particularly special day for the EMX250’s round one winner Bud Racing Kawasaki’s Spaniard Jorge Zaragoza as he lines up to prove to his nation he is their future in MX2 and MXGP racing.

MXGP

With each round of MXGP, FIM Motocross World title number eight inches closer and closer for the reigning champ Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli. Although he is not quite as dominant as his MX2 teammate Jeffrey Herlings, he is definitely the easy bet in MXGP with only Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Van Horebeek showing the same kind of consistency.

Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Van Horebeek is easily the most improved rider in MXGP this year. After six from six top five finishes, five of which were podium finishes, the young Belgian has now engraved his name at the top of the list as Cairoli’s biggest title threat.

After getting off to somewhat of a slow start to the year, Rockstar Energy Suzuki World’s Kevin Strijbos looks to be picking up steam. The FIM Motocross World Championship veteran has finished the last three rounds of MXGP with two podiums and one top five placing, confirming he’s a man on a mission.

For the last four years Rockstar Energy Suzuki World’s Clement Desalle has walked away ranked two times second and two times third in the world. Although he has been touted in the pre-season as the likeliest threat to Cairoli, it seems he has not quite found his mojo for season 2014 as more often than not he is seen lingering in the shadows of the front runners. Despite his momentary lack of wow factor, the 2013 vice world champion remains as one of only three MXGP victors this year.

Meanwhile J-Race Racing’s Joel Roelents pulled a rabbit out of the hat last weekend in Valkenswaard to come away with his first top five in the premier MXGP class. This weekend the young Honda rider will be on a mission to prove last weekend was no fluke and he has in fact got the goods to be an easy top ten placer.

Although nothing is official yet, it is unlikely Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Gautier Paulin will line up this weekend after sustaining a broken collarbone and thumb after his hard crash in Valkenswaard.

MX2

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings has ridden half of this season without the red plate and seems to posses a much more humble attitude this year. Despite the new modest approach, the Dutch teen-ager hung his insane sand riding skills out for the whole world to see last weekend in Valkenswaard when he set the fastest lap time of the weekend, an astonishing 3 seconds faster than the fastest rider in MXGP, Antonio Cairoli. This weekend the MX2 class will look a little more ‘normal’ with the red plate to have returned to Herlings’ number 84 KTM machine.

Wilvo Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Romain Febvre had very much a bittersweet experience in Valkenswaard when he was passed in both races on the home stretch. Nonetheless, the Frenchman is confident he is moving 100% in the right direction and expects big things for the remainder of the season.

It has been a scruffy start to the year for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jordi Tixier but it seems he’s finally starting to turn things around. The young Frenchman has now nailed two consecutive podiums and is clearly determined to keep this momentum going this weekend in Spain.

If Standing Construct KTM’s Valentin Guillod’s moments of brilliance are anything to go by, it’s only a matter of time before the Swiss sensation lands his first ever MX2 podium.

While CLS Kawasaki Monster Energy’s stylish Swiss Arnaud Tonus didn’t really expect to beat Jeffrey Herlings in the sand last weekend, on a difference surface he has proved he can definitely run the pace and is more than capable of winning. It wouldn’t be too crazy to predict Tonus to be hot on the heels of Herlings this weekend, keeping his chance of a MX2 championship title alive.

As MXGP hits the homeland of 2013’s MX2 bronze medalist and the classes hottest starter KTM Silver Actions Jose Butrón, it definitely raises the curiosity factor as to how the Spaniard is going to perform.

MXGP of Spain

Frenchman Romain Febvre is becoming something of the holeshot man in the MX2 class. Two holeshots at round five in Bulgaria and then again one holeshot in Valkenswaard last weekend.

Presently third in the FIM World MX2 Championship points standings on 198 points and with his form slowly getting better, there is a good chance the Wilvo Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing rider can put some pressure on second placed man Arnaud Tonus, who is presently 31 points ahead of Febvre.

Having finished a lowly 12^th in the 2013 FIM World MX2 Championship points after missing three rounds due to injury Febvre is well on track to improve on his previous seasons results. A move to the MXGP class in 2014 gives him every reason to fight as hard as possible to make some of the team-managers of the MXGP teams sit up and take notice.

We caught up with Romain last weekend at the Grand Prix of The Netherlands and asked him about his last couple of races and where he feels he is going in the near future.

Q: Romian, another podium finish, but you missed out on extra points late in both motos in Valkenswaard. How did you feel after the two motos?

Febvre: I am really happy, back on the podium again, and two times third in the motos and second overall. The second moto I was second the whole race and then Arnaud (Tonus) passed me, a little disappointed about that and I had a similar thing in the first moto with Jordi (Tixier). To get passed on the last corner is difficult to understand, but it is like this and I am happy.

Q: Can you explain the two races for me?

Febvre: In the first moto I took the holeshot and tried to relax. Jeffrey passed me quickly and then after 10 minutes I got really bad arm pump and I tried to slow down, because I had like 10 seconds on Jordi, and he caught and passed me. The second moto I didn’t get arm pump and that was good, but Arnaud was just better. For sure it was a good battle, and when you are in the front of the battle it isn’t always easy. I think Arnaud was just better and he passed me.

Q: A couple of weeks before Valkenswaard you also showed good speed and consistent results. How did you feel in Bulgaria?

Febvre: I was happy with the weekend in Bulgaria, but at the same time I was hoping for a better result. Getting the holeshot twice was brilliant but I’m also frustrated to have missed out on a podium result because my speed was really good. I was riding strong in race two and held third position for most of the race until I had a small crash and lost my position. Fifth overall is good points for the championship but I want to get back on the podium again.

Q: Now onto Spain for the next round of the series. It should be a circuit that will suit you?

Febvre: I hope so, I want to continue in this form and improve my results. I think it is possible and I can’t wait for race next weekend.

French rider Jordi Tixier isn’t just fighting for his place inside the top ten of the MX2 class in 2014, he’s also fighting for his place inside the Red Bull KTM Factory team. Having started the season with poor performances Tixier got his season started with a podium in Sevlievo, Bulgaria and then added another podium in Valkenswaard, Holland last weekend.

While enjoying the current run of top three finishes, Tixier knows that it’s going to take more than a couple of podiums to keep his team-manager Stefan Everts happy. With a number of young riders showing good form, and his contract expiring at the end of the season Tixier will need to show he is clearly the second best guy in the MX2 class.

“Of course everyone is asking the same question. I didn’t have as much pressure as 2013, but I made some mistakes and I wasn’t focused on my riding. I was really disappointed after the first four GP’s, but I came through in Bulgaria for my first podium and again in Valkenswaard. Now I have to stay on the podium and get to second on the box, because I was only third in Holland.”

As with any top line motocross rider, it isn’t always just about the competitor, but also getting the bike set up perfect for both the riding conditions and the rider.

“We changed many things with the bike and everyone is doing a great job in the team. I am pretty happy about my bike and team at the moment, and I know we can continue to improve and my results will also improve.”

What Tixier does know is that the MX2 class is stacked with riders looking to get onto the podium, and no matter how hard he works there are a bunch of guys looking to knock him off the top three steps.

“I think it is tougher (the MX2 class) than in 2013. We have seven or eight riders that can be on the box and you need to ride well every weekend, so we need to take a good start and have good speed for 35 minutes and always fight for your place.”

As mentioned in the intro, Tixier is also trying to keep his ride in the biggest, strongest team in the GP paddock, the Red Bull KTM Factory team. It is a tall order, although Tixier feels the support from KTM is there.

“Of course, it is always difficult, this is my last year with KTM and I need a good result to stay on the team or get a good ride with somebody else. It is up to me to get my best and everyone trusts me, so that is good.”

Next weekend the Frenchman will arrive at the Talavera circuit in the south of Spain with the same excitement and determination will be looking for his third straight top three finish. It’s circuits like Talavera and Matterley Basin (in England) that make him want to race in the strongest Motocross series in the World.

“Talavera I don’t know, but everyone tells me it is really a nice track with big up and down hills and that is something I like. I really like Matterley Basin, I had a big crash there last year, but I also won the Saturday qualification race pretty easy.”

So onward and upward is the goal for Tixier, knowing that his near future depends on him doing something special.

VALKENSWAARD (The Netherlands), 04 May 2014 – Gorgeous bright blue skies and sunshine welcomed MXGP of The Netherlands today with open arms. While there was a chill in the air with a crisp winter breeze taking the edge off of the direct sunlight, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s pair of reigning FIM Motocross World Champions Antonio Cairoli and Jeffrey Herlings rewarmed the atmosphere with their impressive performances in both races to dominate round six of the FIM Motocross World Championship.

MXGP

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli continues to prove why he is the seven-time FIM Motocross World Champion. After breaking his front wheel early in race one the Italian continued to fight to the finish and remarkably managed to salvage third. In race two, the champ took his second Fox Holeshot of the day and went on to lead every lap unchallenged to stand on top of the box here in Valkenswaard for the fifth year in succession.

Fast becoming an MXGP podium fixture, Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Van Horebeek put in a couple more solid performances to land himself on the second step of the podium for the second time this year. “I was feeling good all weekend out there. I got good starts and I just rode my own race, I could have gone faster but then I would have made too many mistakes, like I tried to push and make up some time on Kevin (Strijbos) in the last race, but then I made a big mistake so at that point I knew I was second on the podium today, so I just let him go.”

Meanwhile raising the second Belgian flag on the podium of MXGP, Rockstar Energy Suzuki World’s Kevin Strijbos managed to turn up the heat in the second race to put a super sweet pass on his countryman Van Horebeek for second. With a fifth in race one and a second in race two Strijbos rounded out the top three. “I didn’t feel good in the first race, I made some changes to my set up and then I felt better in race two. I am just really happy to be on the podium today,” Strijbos concluded.

Rockstar Energy Suzuki World’s duo of Clement Desalle and Kevin Strijbos are stuck together like magnets this season. While Strijbos took home his second podium result this year, his teammate Clement Desalle rode two smart races for a trio of fourths (4-4, for fourth overall).

Another rider to verify that Belgian’s (like the Dutch) are great sand riders, J-Race Racing’s Joel Roelants rode like a man on fire in race two to pass Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Steven Frossard for fifth with two laps to go. After finally banking a top five score, Roelants, who was eighth in race one, managed come home as the fourth Belgian inside the top five with fifth overall.

Race one winner Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Gautier Paulin had a gnarly crash on the opening lap of race two which has left him with a suspected broken collarbone. Meanwhile two MXGP fan favorites made their awaited returns this weekend, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Ken De Dycker and CLS Kawasaki Monster Energy’s Tommy Searle. Both riders’ comebacks seemed a little pre-mature, but plaudits must be given to De Dycker for gritting his teeth and finishing the first race and half of the second race purely for the racing experience. Meanwhile Searle, at the last minute, opted out of a ‘pre-mature’ return withdrawing from both races after warm-up this morning.

On the note of injuries, the team at MXGP would like to wish a full and fast recovery to Team HRC’s Max Nagl, Red Bull IceOne Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Todd Waters and Rockstar Energy Suzuki Europe’s Glenn Coldenhoff who were all injured while training in the two-week break between MXGP’s round five in Bulgaria and today’s round six here in Valkenswaard.

MX2

It may come as no surprise to the majority, Red Bull KTM Factory Racings Jeffrey Herlings was right in his element here on a track so close to home he even went as far to say “this track here in Valkenswaard is like my back garden.” After winning both races with ease, ‘The Bullet’ wrapped up his fifth Grand Prix win of the year and took back the coveted MX2 red plate.

One rider to stand out with two very impressive performances at the front of the pack, Wilvo Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Romain Febvre put all those laps around his team’s home circuit of Lommel to good use. Looking very comfortable in the sand, Febvre rode in second for 99% of both races only to make a small fault with less than 100m to go, not once but twice. Despite the costly errors, Febvre kept the bike on two wheels on both occasions to come home with a bitter yet sweet pair of thirds for second overall and his best finish of the year.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jordi Tixier was looking in great shape in race one when he wasted no time in slicing through the pack to take over third. Once in third, the determined young Frenchman rode a relentless race, chasing down and passing fellow Frenchman Febvre with one turn to go to take second place. Unfortunately in race two, Tixier got off to a great start but fell under the pressure of his race one nemesis Febvre. After failing to re-group, the best he could do was fifth, which was enough for third overall and his second consecutive podium finish this season.

Another impressive performance is in the bag for Standing Construct KTM’s Swiss sensation Valentin Guillod. Guillod was riding an incredible pace in race one, but unfortunately a bad start ruined what could have been a podium finish this weekend. Nonetheless, the MX2 rookie should be happy with his performance, taking a fourth and a seventh for fourth overall.

Coming into MX2’s Grand Prix of The Netherlands, CLS Kawasaki Monster Energy Arnaud Tonus, who was carrying the red plate up until now, was realistic in saying he didn’t really expect to beat Jeffrey Herlings in the sand but definitely felt he was more than capable of two times second. Despite a disappointing race one which saw him lay his bike down a couple of times and only bounce back for twelfth, the stylish Swiss redeemed himself in race two with a spectacular pass on his teammate Dylan Ferrandis and Wilvo Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Romain Febvre on the last lap for second in race two and fifth overall.
