MXGP

TEUTSCHENTHAL (Germany) 12 June 2022 – Round 11 of the FIM Motocross World Championship saw many celebrations as Team HRC’s Tim Gajser finally bounced back with the overall victory at the Liqui Moly MXGP of Germany, while in MX2, Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Thibault Benistant made his way to the top step of the podium for the first time in MX2!

And that was not all, as Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing MX2 also celebrated a 1-2 on the box as Jago Geerts finished second and as Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle suffered a problem with his bike in the second heat, this also mean that Geerts took back the red plate.

There was also a shake up in the MXGP championship standings. With Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Maxime Renaux out with several broken vertebrae after his crash in qualifying this also allowed Gajser to extend his lead to 99 points over Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Seewer who now moves up. 

In MXGP race one, the Fox Holeshot went to Team HRC’s Tim Gajser who was the leading rider with Pauls Jonass of Standing Construct Husqvarna Factory Racing, Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP’s Romain Febvre, Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Seewer and Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado and Mattia Guadagnini behind him.

Early on, Seewer began to push Febvre for third. It took the Swiss two laps, but he was able to make the pass happen.

Prado briefly took fifth from Guadagnini who immediately fought back, but eventually by the end of the lap Prado was able to secure the position from his teammate. Once the Spaniard got by the Italian, he set his sights on Febvre who was just ahead.

Gajser led the way and was looking solid as he also set the fastest lap of the race. While he was looking to run away with it, Seewer began to close in on Jonass who was second.

Meanwhile Prado continued to push Febvre, though made a mistake himself and crashed on lap 12. He got going again in seventh just behind Guadagnini and Honda 114 Motorsports' Ruben Fernandez.

There was no change inside the top for the next several laps as Gajser went on to win the race ahead of Jonass and Seewer.

In race two, it was Seewer who got the Fox Holeshot that time around, with Gajser, Prado, Fernandez and JM Honda Racing’s Henry Jacobi just behind.

In the first few corners, Prado took second from Gajser who responded shortly after to move back up to his original positions.

Jonass crashed out of fifth as he and Fernandez looked like they had a moment. With Fernandez losing ground, Gebben Van Venrooy Yamaha Racing’s Calvin Vlaanderen was able to use this to his advantage to take over fourth from the Spaniard.

With Seewer in the lead, Gajser was looking fast though could not get close enough to the Swiss to execute an attack.

Fernandez meanwhile was looking to fight back and take his lost position from Vlaanderen who immediately went defensive to keep the Honda rider at bay.

In the end there was not big changes inside the top 10 as Seewer claimed his second race victory of the season. Gajser crossed the line in second ahead of Prado, Vlaanderen and Fernandez.

A 1-2 result gave Gajser the upper hand as he took his seventh overall victory of the season ahead of Seewer who made it two podiums on the bounce with second overall ahead of Prado who was third.

With Renaux out of the GP, Gajser now holds a 99-point lead in the championship standings ahead of Seewer and Prado who both move up.

Tim Gajser: “It was a really positive weekend; I was feeling great on the track. Yes I won today and also the starts were improving so super happy. First race, I took the Fox Holeshot, made a little gap and controlled the race. The second one I didn’t have the best start, I had to pass a couple of guys and then I was behind Jeremy who was riding really good and had good pace, so I just settled for second… I’m looking forward to Indonesia”.

Jeremy Seewer: “In the first race I felt frustrated because I couldn’t get Pauls, I tried a couple of laps. In the second race, I knew I needed a good start and finally I got my first Fox Holeshot of the year. I mean, I’m a good starter but this year I just haven’t managed to bring it around the first corner, but now I did and yeah. This was one of my best rides so far this season and I feel confident, had good rhythm, felt amazing on my bike and my fitness is good, so super happy, especially because Tim was super strong all weekend, I think he won every single session apart from that second race. That feels good and now we keep going".

Jorge Prado: “Let’s say it was an ok weekend. After the first race I didn’t expect to be on the box, so it’s not too bad. Riding yesterday was okay, but today I didn’t feel so good on the track. I didn't have so much speed and I was struggling a little bit. But I worked a lot in the second race to get third, I feel we made some steps in the in the right direction, but I feel like we still need to improve in many others. Especially on tracks like this. I am not performing like these two guys next to me, I really tried to stick with them, but they were riding too fast for me. The middle of the race I had good pace but not enough to get a victory, so I just need to work more, get better and that's reality”.

In MX2 race one, it was Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle who grabbed the Fox Holeshot ahead of Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Thibault Benistant, Jan Pancar of TEM JP253 and Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing’s Simon Längenfelder.

Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Kay de Wolf went down in the start and was left with a lot of work to do as he started from the back of the field.

Benistant was pushing for the lead but briefly went off track, though managed to not to lose any positions. Geerts meanwhile began to push Pancar for the pass and shortly after, the Belgian was up to third.

Längenfelder then dropped back to fifth, as Big Van World MTX Kawasaki’s Mikkel Haarup caught onto the rear wheel of the German and began applying pressure. He made the pass and then also got around Pancar several laps later for fourth.

Vialle meanwhile was looking comfortable as he set the fastest lap of the race. This was quickly followed by a quick lap by Geerts who was looking to not to lose track of his championship, though he struggled to get around his teammate who was holding him up from getting to Vialle.

It took Geerts nine laps to pass Benistant and when he did that he was able to get his head down and focus on Vialle. He was able to take the gap down and in the final stages of the race we watched the pair battle it out for the win.

In the end, Vialle was able to keep calm and bring the win home in the opening heat, Geerts finished second ahead of Benistant, Haarup and Pancar.

In race two, it was again Vialle who got the Fox Holeshot, but moments later Benistant was the leading rider as he made a quick move on the factory KTM rider. SM Action Racing Team YUASA Battery’s Andrea Adamo was next ahead of Geerts and Längenfelder.

Haarup made an early pass on Längenfelder for fifth, as Pancar faded to ninth after being got by F&H Kawasaki Racing’s Kevin Horgmo and de Wolf.

Geerts got around Adamo, and so did Längenfelder, as de Wolf dropped back to 11^th,

While it looked like we had a French battle at the front on our hands, the race took a dramatic turn as Vialle stalled the bike and could not get it fired up again. After several tries, the Frenchman accepted defeated and walked back to the paddock. It was a costly moment for Vialle who lost the championship lead as a result.

At that point Benistant had clear track and was pulling away from his teammate. He was looking fast as he set several fastest laps of the race.

In the end, Benistant took the win ahead of Geerts, Haarup, Längenfelder and Horgmo.

A 2-1 result gave Benistant his first overall of the season, as Geerts settled for second ahead of Haarup who made his return to the box for the first time since Trentino.

A DNF for Vialle in race two hands Geerts the championship lead. The Belgian now has a 12-point lead over Vialle as Längenfelder remains third.

Thibault Benistant: “I was happy to know that I was the winner this weekend. We have been working for this for a long time and I knew that I could win some races and even some GP’s, but we just had to wait and finally it happened so I’m happy with that”.

Jago Geerts: “I'm quite happy about the weekend with the two second places. It was a solid weekend. I didn’t feel great on the track, it was a bit sketchy, and I didn’t really have a good rhythm all weekend. So, I was a bit surprised about the first heat that I had really good speed and could almost win the race. Second heat, I didn’t really feel comfortable, so I rode my own pace and didn’t take too many risks. I saw Tom next to the track, so I knew I had the red plate back but that didn’t matter that much, I didn’t feel great, and I just came home in second”

Mikkel Haarup: “I enjoyed the whole weekend. I had a lot of people come from Denmark to see me riding, so it was also nice for them as well to get the podium. Overall, it was a great weekend, I had some good passes and didn’t have the best starts, but we did manage to improve it from the last couple of weekends, which I think gave me the podium. I'm happy with my riding but there's still a lot of things to improve. Try to catch up with the guys in front of me but wasn't able really to get close enough. But it was great. I had a lot of fun. And I'm looking forward to Indonesia”.

Teutschenthal

Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP’s Maxime Renaux has been ruled out of the MXGP of Germany in Teutschental, round 11 of the FIM Motocross World Championship, because of injuries sustained in a crash during yesterday’s MXGP qualifying race.

Renaux, who currently lies second in the MXGP Championship Standings, crashed on the finish line jump, falling from a significant height and landing heavily. The Frenchman rode back to the paddock, but immediately reported to the track medical centre after experiencing significant pain in his back.

Following an initial medical assessment in Teutschental, Renaux was transported to the University Hospital of Halle, where an MRI scan confirmed that he has fractured his T1, T2, T5 and T7 vertebrae.

Renaux will return immediately to Belgium for a further assessment and to formulate a recovery program.

TEUTSCHENTHAL (Germany) 11 June 2022 – Day one of the Liqui Moly MXGP of Germany has concluded in Teutschenthal with the qualifying race action from the MXGP and MX2 riders along with the first races of the EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing and EMX250 riders.

In MXGP and MX2, the qualifying race victories went to Team HRC’s Tim Gajser and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle, as both riders were able to get strong starts and take control from early on in the heats.

Meanwhile the EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing and EMX250 races saw Karlis Alberts Reisulis of Yamaha Europe EMX125 MJC and Hutten Metaal Yamaha Racing’s Andrea Bonacorsi victorious and looking strong for tomorrow’s races.

In the MXGP qualifying heat, it was Team HRC’s Tim Gajser who was the first rider into the first corner as he led Standing Construct Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Pauls Jonass, Team HRC’s Mitch Evans as well as Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado, Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Seewer.

Henry Jacobi of JM Honda and Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP’s Romain Febvre also started well in sixth and seventh.

On the opening lap, Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Maxime Renaux had a big crash on the Monster Energy finish jump, which saw him landing heavily on his coccyx and he did not carry on with the race.

Febvre then took sixth from Jacobi as Honda 114 Motorsports’ Ruben Fernandez crashed out of the top 10, before getting by Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing’s Mattia Guadagnini to get back into 10^th.

By that point Gajser was already 4.789 seconds clear of Jonass and Evans, while behind him Febvre began to push Seewer for fifth.

Gajser extended his lead as the race progressed, while Prado began to close in on Evans for third. Eventually Prado took the Aussie by surprise to steal third on lap seven. Seewer looked to do the same and by the following lap was also ahead of the Honda rider in fourth.

Fernandez then passed Beta SDM Corse’s Jeremy Van Horebeek and then Jacobi as he moved up to seventh and finished in the same position.

In the final laps, Prado closed in on Jonass as he took a load of time out of the Latvian as the pair were separated by less than half a second, though Jonass was fast to respond and held on to his position.

Gajser won the qualifying race, ahead of Jonass, Prado, Seewer and Evans as Febvre finished in sixth for his first race back in sixth months.

Tim Gajser: I’m slowly starting to feel like myself. In the last races I was struggling but today I had a good day and I’m looking forward to tomorrow. I think starts are going to be really important”.

In MX2 qualifying race the holeshot went to Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle who led Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing’s Simon Längenfelder, Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Thibault Benistant and Jago Geerts as well as Ship to Cycle Honda SR Motoblouz rider Stephen Rubini.

Vialle looked to pull away from the rest of the field as Benistant had his teammate applying the pressure throughout. Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Kay de Wolf made his comeback this weekend after breaking his hand during a cycling accident and was looking solid in sixth. The Dutchman got unlucky just a few laps later as he crashed and did not carry on with the race.

Geerts set the fastest lap of the race as he looked to find a way past his teammate who was not backing down.

Further down the order, Big Van World MTX Kawasaki’s Mikkel Haarup started to apply the pressure onto Andrea Adamo of SM Action Racing Team YUASA Battery for seventh, and after passing him on the fourth lap began to focus on Rubini ahead.

On lap nine Rubini crashed down to 14^th where he eventually finished. While Diga Procross KTM Racing Team’s Liam Everts crashed out too and did not carry on with the race.

In the final laps, Benistant began to push Vialle for the win, though the KTM rider was able to keep a cool head and stay mistake free to secure his third qualifying win of the season. Benistant finished second ahead of Geerts, Längenfelder and Haarup.

Tom Vialle: “It was nice to win and like Tim said, the start is quite important so to be the first for tomorrow. I had a good feeling on the track, Thibault was pushing but I had a great feeling all day long. I’m happy about today and looking forward to have another great race tomorrow”.

Teutschenthal

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 8 June 2022 – The 11^th round of the FIM Motocross World Championship returns to Teutschenthal, Germany, for this year's Liqui Moly MXGP of Germany, the 26^th edition of the German Grand Prix.

Last year, the MXGP of Germany returned for the first time since 2019 and delivered an explosive weekend that saw the title chase between Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings, Romain Febvre of Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP and Team HRC’s Tim Gajser intensify.

While this year the MXGP championship is far more open, the MX2 title bout however is closer than ever with just 11 points separating Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle and Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jago Geerts and this weekend’s races will be crucial.   

The hardpack track of Teutschenthal has been part of the FIM Motocross World Championship since the 70’s and first hosted a 250cc Grand Prix in 1971 which was then won by the six-time world champion Joël Robert.

Alongside the main MXGP and MX2 action, this weekend’s races will also see the rounds of EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing, EMX250 as well as the Junior e-Motocross series! As it stands, Fantic Factory Team Maddii’s Cas Valk heads the 125cc championship while in the 250cc class is led by Hutten Metaal Yamaha Racing’s Rick Elzinga who has just a one-point margin over Fantic Factory Team Maddii’s Cornelius Toendel.

One of the biggest news of this weekend is that Romain Febvre of Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP will make his much-awaited return behind the gate after six months off the bike. Febvre’s injury came with some complications, but the Frenchman is now ready to make his comeback to MXGP!

The German Grand Prix is going to be an important one for Team HRC’s Tim Gajser who has a chance to bounce back after some tough races since picking up an illness before Sardinia. Gajser has failed to mount the podium in the last three GPs, though if last year’s race in Teutschenthal is anything to go by, the Slovenian could surprise us with another overall victory at the German venue.

Gajser leads the championship by 73-points over Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Maxime Renaux who had a hard home GP and will no doubt be looking to make amends in Germany, a GP that he won last season, after Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle was issued a penalty.

Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Glenn Coldenhoff and Jeremy Seewer are real threats for the podium this weekend, after Coldenhoff secured his third overall top three finish on the bounce in Ernée with a race win in race two, while his teammate Seewer was the big winner with a 1-2 result in the races. For both riders, it seems like the last couple of GPs have been a turning point, in terms of overall set-up and confidence, so it will be interesting to see if they can carry on with this winning momentum for the second half of the season.

Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado has been building towards the top step of the box since making his return from a shoulder injury in Sardinia. Last weekend, Prado was the leading man in both races before being caught by the Yamaha guys, which just proved that the Spaniard is not 100% physically yet, but can still be competitive at the sharp end nonetheless.

Home hero Henry Jacobi of JM Honda Racing will be looking to put on his best performance in front of the German fans, and his qualifying race victory from the French GP will no doubt be a confidence boost and an extra push of motivation in order to challenge for his best result of the season.

This weekend, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle is once again the heavy favourite after dominating the last three GP’s in a row. He will be full of confidence after the surprise victory at his home GP and with 11 points ahead of Jago Geerts from Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing, he will no doubt be fired up to take as many points from the Belgian as possible.

Last weekend in France, Geerts again had moments of struggle. The crash in qualifying left him feeling second handed but nonetheless he managed two very consistent second place finishes after intense battles with Vialle and his teammate Thibault Benistant of Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing. Geerts needs a victory in order to take the extra points from Vialle if he wants to keep the title within touching distance.

Benistant is another rider who we could see battling at the sharp end, after winning a race in front of his home fans and securing his second podium of the season. He is also a strong hard-pack rider which he proved this season already, but good starts will be a key to getting ahead of the likes of Vialle and Geerts.

Home rider Simon Längenfelder of Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing is another rider who will be expected to challenge at the forefront this weekend. The German won the qualifying race in France last time around and had some strong starts that put him at the front with Vialle and Geerts. If he can do the same again this weekend, it could be a dream race for the German who will be hoping to get on the box in front of his home fans.

For the first time this season Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP will line up its full squad at this weekend’s German GP as Romain Febvre will make his comeback in the FIM MXGP Motocross World Championship.

It has been a long wait for the Frenchman, the Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP and motocross fans worldwide, but finally this weekend will mark the comeback for the 2021 World Championship runner-up who has decided he is ready to return to the race track after several promising training sessions during the past few weeks. “There has been a lot of bad news in the past months but now I have a good one and I’m so happy to announce that I will be back behind the gate this weekend,” said Romain after another test-ride this morning; in accord with the team he will return to racing in the German GP at Teutschenthal this weekend. “I didn’t ride that much yet as I have only been training for two-and-a-half weeks so far, but the feeling with the bike is already really good so it’s time to be back racing. As I already explained previously the doctor told me that the pain will guide me and, even if sometimes I feel some pain, that’s acceptable,” he continued.

Having not raced for several months Romain has no real expectations for his comeback as he has no reference mark for his speed compared to his MXGP rivals. “I go to Germany without any specific goal as I didn’t ride with any other top riders in recent weeks; I would have liked to ride with Ben but after his crash in Spain he was not able to practice last week. We never stopped working on my fitness programme, even when I wasn’t able to ride the bike, so physically I am ready and I think that my speed will be OK, but for sure it will be more difficult at first to maintain the speed for the entire duration of the motos. But we must start somewhere. I’m not yet at 100% but as I have a good feeling on the bike and as we had some good training sessions it’s time to go and it was better to be back in Germany rather than wait for Indonesia. We didn’t want to return overseas; it’s much better to do so in Europe even if Teutschenthal is not the easiest track for a comeback. But I have some experience and know what is required.”

For Antti Pyrhönen and the KRT staff, this is excellent news of course. “We are so happy to welcome Romain back to racing. He has been working extremely hard for his comeback and now it’s time to take the next step and start building the race fitness. We are proud of the fight Romain has been putting in through this tough period and, together with Ben, they will complete the team,” concluded Antti who will thus have his full squad in action this weekend.
