MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 6 March 2018 – Youthstream is pleased to announce that Akrapovič, high-quality performance exhaust manufacturer, has joined as official partner for the MXGP FIM Motocross World Championship and the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations for the next three years.

Akrapovič has a distinguished heritage in motocross and, following its participation as sponsor of selected events in past years, the Slovenia-based company has decided to increase its commitment by signing a new agreement, which will see it have a full-season association with Youthstream for the MXGP championship and MXoN until 2020.

The MXGP championship is the premier off-road class for two-wheeled machines and is befitting of a company such as Akrapovič due to its racing DNA and wide selection of products for motocross bikes. Many teams in the MXGP championship, including factory outfits Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing Team, and Wilvo Yamaha Official MXGP Team, already benefit from the performance and competitive edge that Akrapovič brings to the sport. It is this technology and involvement in the racing world that has led the company to a total of 119 world champions in various categories in motorcycle and car racing, including many titles in the MXGP, MX2, MX3, and WMX categories – with the first FIM Motocross World Championship title for an Akrapovič exhaust–equipped motorcycle being won by Joel Smets (KTM) in 2003. This strength is highlighted by the fact that all of the defending 2017 world champions will continue racing with Akrapovič exhausts this season: Antonio Cairoli (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) in MXGP, Pauls Jonass (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) in MX2, and Kiara Fontanesi of FontaMX Yamaha Official WMX in the WMX class. With high-grade lightweight titanium alloys and other advanced materials used in the construction of its products, an Akrapovič exhaust system for the Factory MXGP and MX2 teams – and their close relatives – is one of the best that anybody can buy.

David Luongo, Youthstream’s Vice President said: “After being partner with Youthstream and the MXGP World Championship on selected events for many years, we want to thank Akrapovič for having decided to make a further step by joining us for the full season being present worldwide for the next 3 years. This step forward is again a great proof that the MXGP series is gaining in popularity. We are very proud to have next to us such respected and popular company helping us to take motocross to higher level.”

Alojz »Slavko« Trstenjak, Head of Racing R&D at Akrapovič explained: “Akrapovič is the pioneer in high-class premier exhaust systems for the motorcycle and performance car world. Its innovative use of materials and design strategies has seen it consistently push the boundaries of exhaust technology. Since its inception in the early 90s, when former motorcycle racer Igor Akrapovič launched the company, it has gone from strength to strength. The brand now represents the highest level of production and performance in the exhaust industry, and this attention to detail is allied to a distinctive Akrapovič sound. Manufactured at state-of-the-art facilities in Slovenia, the company produces pioneering products through a passionate and highly skilled workforce of over 1,100 employees, who use the latest technology, processes, and premium materials to produce the finest exhaust systems and associated products in the world. Akrapovič is still the only exhaust manufacturer with its own in-house titanium foundry, where it can produce intricate and bespoke items to provide complex solutions for its customers in over 80 countries across the globe. It is this attention to detail that makes Akrapovič stand out from the rest on the track and on the road.”

About Akrapovič

Founded in Slovenia 27 years ago by former motorcycle racer Igor Akrapovič, the brand has grown to international prominence through its successful support of leading motorsport teams.

To date, more than 110 world champions in two- and four-wheel motorsport have achieved success using Akrapovič exhaust systems. The company operates from state-of-the-art factories in Slovenia, employing over 1100 staff and distributing its products in more than 80 countries.

It was possibly the most dramatic opening to a season we have seen in a long time, and a handful of riders produced brilliance. Jeffrey Herlings and Antonio Cairoli go into the Grand Prix of Europe in Valkenswaard in a couple of weeks locked on the same points, and Pauls Jonass in MX2 looks solid as a rock, winning with 1-1 results and showing he is still the man in the 250cc class.

For Dutchman, Jeffrey Herlings, it has to be considered one of his best Grand Prix victories, and for sure an important step towards his goal of being world MXGP champion. Sharing a race win with nine-times world champion Antonio Cairoli and pulling off a comeback GP victory was as sweet as it gets.

“It was a good day,” Jeffrey Herlings said. “I made a charge in the first race but couldn't make the pass; Tony was riding really well and deserved to win. In the second race I got pushed wide at the start again and had some battles going on for fifth, fourth and third. I knew there was only ten minutes left in the race, but I worked on the gap and was really glad to make it happen. I’m blessed to have won the first GP of the year and the hard work of the winter is showing. This is only the first race of nineteen and there will be a lot of good competition ahead. I feel good on the bike, even better than the end of last year. I want to thank the team because they are always supporting me through thick-and-thin.”

In the MX2 class, Pauls Jonass was brilliant, going 1-1 and taking an important points lead into round two in Valkenswaard in two weeks’ time. The Latvian knows that many will want his crown, but so far, the defence is looking solid.

“We did the pre-season races,” Pauls Jonass said. “I knew I had the speed and the fitness because I had worked hard in the winter time. I came into this race confident…but I did not expect to win every single session when we went on the track. It is a boost for us, but we won’t let it get to our heads too much because there is still a long way to go. The new bike worked so well, and we can see all that testing and work in the off-season paid off. I didn't get any holeshots today, so we still have something we can improve on!”

Now the two Red Bull KTM boys will head to the sand of Valkenswaard in Holland, and for sure, both will need to be on guard to protect those red plates.

NEUQUEN (Patagonia Argentina), 04 March 2018 – The 2018 FIM Motocross World Championship season is running in dramatic fashion setting the stage for yet another year of epic racing. The MXGP of Patagonia Argentina served as host for the first round of the new season and provided racing right off of the MXGP fan wish list. With the surroundings nothing short of serene and peaceful, the roar of MXGP and MX2 bikes brought the Neuquen region to life.

Both of the 2017 Champions returned to action amongst a field of competitors both new and old all looking to make a statement and build confidence for the remaining 18 races. Seeing the first success of 2018 was Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings and Pauls Jonass.

The MXGP field is a stacked one without doubt but one thing on everyone’s mind coming into this season was how the speed of a healthy Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings would compare to that of the reigning MXGP champion Antonio Cairoli.

When the gate finally dropped after months of training and preparation, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli took the FOX Holeshot and led the way for every lap of the 19 recorded.

Behind Cairoli was at first the newest recruit to the Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team, Julien Lieber, but he was eventually shuffled back to 8th in what would be his first MXGP Championship race. First to pass Lieber was Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP’s Romain Febvre who appears to have a successful bike setting at the start of the new year.

After the first laps of race one Herlings moved his way up from 4th to second passing both Lieber and Febvre. Herlings continued in pursuit of his teammate Cairoli who was out front. Herlings was able to catch up to Cairoli but unable to make an attempt at a pass as he crossed the finish line just barely over a second later than the #222.

Coming from 6th and putting in a strong race to move his way up to 3rd was Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Clement Desalle.

Race two started identical for Cairoli again taking the FOX Holeshot with a Monster Energy Kawasaki on his heels but it was the #25 of Clement Desalle the second time around as Lieber fell in the first turn along with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Max Anstie and Bike IT DRT Kawasaki’s Tommy Searle.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings came across the first complete lap in 5th place and seemed to struggle to find his rhythm early. Meanwhile Cairoli pulled away from Desalle up front as the two Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP bikes of Jeremy Van Horebeek and Romain Febvre battled in 3rd and 4th. Herlings split the Yamaha’s for 6 laps before finally finding his way past Van Horebeek and a lap later Desalle.

With 9 minutes remaining in race 2 Herlings was near 9 seconds of the lead of Cairoli. Herlings is known not to give up easy and as he found his groove he began chipping away at the lead. In the remaining laps the #84 inched his way forward and each second he gained his confidence doubled. In an amazing effort Herlings caught Cairoli with only one lap remaining and as the approached the first corner Herlings charged to the inside of the #222 much to the Sicilian’s surprise.

Though Herlings over shot the racing line allowing Cairoli to hold the position a slight bobble from the 9-time champ helped Herlings make a move stick only a few turns later. While Cairoli led every other lap of the weekend none proved more important than the very last which Herlings snatched.

Herlings in the press conference said: “I had some battles going on for the 5th, 4th, and 3rd so by the time I got into second there was only 10 minutes left in the race and Tony had a good gap of like 10 seconds, he was riding great so to close the gap was very difficult but I luckily made it happen. I am blessed to have won the first GP, the opening GP of the year, it is really good to know all the hard work we put in during the winter is showing.”

Antonio Cairoli later said: “I am really happy to be on the podium, we almost made it the first perfect weekend. In the second race I had a good start and a good gap, I was trying to pull away a little bit and when I hit the lappers I tried to change some lines and made some mistakes. I went off the berm in a few corners and then also hit some kickers so I had to slow down a little bit. When we are riding on the limit like we were in the second race if you slow down a little bit you loose time quickly. Jeffrey was able to come closer and he was stronger in the end, the last 2 or 3 laps I was making too many mistakes, I was a little tired and he had the chance to go around me and he took it, it was a good move.”

While the top two spots were swapped between Cairoli and Herlings the final podium spot was secured by the consecutive 3-3 finishes of Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Clement Desalle. Desalle in the press conference: “I feel good, I had a strong weekend and I see some good things… we worked a lot on the bike with the team this winter and I can see that it is working, we still have a couple of small things to improve which is good for the future but already we had a really strong weekend.”

It was the first taste of the spectacular 19 course meal which lies on the table for 2018. In 2-week time MXGP will be back in action at the home track of Herlings in Valkenswaard, Netherlands for the 2018 MXGP of Europe.

MX2’s first race of the new season was reminiscent of the 2017 season and had the perfect start for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Pauls Jonass. The defending MX2 World Champion ran his red number 1 plate with pride and did it justice as he won every race of the weekend from qualifying through to race 2. Jonass on the weekend said: “I felt really good all weekend and especially on the new KTM, the bike is really good, you can see that all the testing and work we put in during the off season is paying off.”

In race one the new Honda 114 Motorsports rider Hunter Lawrence took the Fox Holeshot but it was the Bike IT DRT Kawasaki of Darian Sanayei that took the early lead, and on the third complete lap Lawrence, seen as a title contender took the premier position and set himself up well for success.

Sanayei held second for another 2 laps before Jonass moved his way forward and set his sights on the bright yellow and black gear of Lawrence. After 7 laps in second Jonass chased down the #96 and made pass for the lead finishing just under 2 seconds ahead of the Aussie.

Team HRC’s Calvin Vlaanderen came together with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado early in the race costing both time and positions for each. Vlaanderen was able to salvage an 18th while Prado recovered to 16th.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Thomas Kjer Olsen started the race around 5th position and after battling with Kemea Yamaha Official MX2 Team’s Ben Watson he would move to 4th. At the finish Olsen took 3rd with Watson 4th as Sanayei suffered a bike issue forcing him to pull out of the race.

Race 2 started with a FOX Holeshot from LRT KTM’s Davy Pootjes but by the end of the first lap Jonass was into the lead. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Thomas Covington was third after the first lap but he made a mistake two corners before the finish line causing him to drop to 7th immediately before eventually finishing 18th.

Covington’s teammate, Thomas Kjer Olsen put another stellar ride together in race two to finish second place in both the race and the overall. Olsen said: “I felt really good this weekend, I started off a little bit slow in practice but it was okay, I was just trying to learn the track. I was pretty pumped coming into this weekend because I knew we had good speed from the winter. To get on the podium is amazing.”

Sanayei came back to racing with a point to prove after his race one DNF. Starting in 4th Sanayei made his way to third by the end of the race followed by Ben Watson who took his second 4th of the day.

Calvin Vlaanderen also bounced back from his race 1 mishap charging forward from a 10th place start to take 5th ahead of Hunter Lawrence who reached the overall podium in 3rd with 2-6 finishes. Lawrence said: “It is a lot better start than last year. For the team’s first race and being on a new bike this year it is cool and I look forward to what the rest of the season holds.”
