Cairoli and Seewer Score Pole in Switzerland

(FRAUENFELD-GACHNANG) Switzerland, 12 August 2017 - The 2017 MXGP of Switzerland presented by iXS kicked off today in Frauenfeld - Gachnang with the qualification races. The once muddy circuit firmed up perfectly to provide top level traction and racing. Like clock work Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli and Suzuki World MX2’s Jeremy Seewer ticked off laps and went pole for Sunday.

On top of MXGP and MX2 qualifying races the European Championship classes of EMX250, EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing, and EMX300 Presented by FMF Racing took to the Swiss soil for their 1st race day of two this weekend. In EMX250 BUD Racing Monster Energy’s Tristan Charboneau won his third consecutive race this season ahead of F&H Racing Team’s Ruben Fernandez while Filip Neugebauer took third.

In EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing it was the 125cc Junior World Champion Gianluca Facchetti who took the win just ahead of BUD Racing Monster Energy’s Brian Strubhart Moreau and IceOne Husqvarna Racing’s Mikkel Haarup.

The race of the day was EMX300 Presented by FMF Racing and it could have been the championship deciding race but it will have to wait until tomorrow instead as the GL12 Racing Teammates of James Dunn and Mike Kras went 1st and 2nd while the championship leader, Brad Anderson, finished third.

 

MXGP was led at the start by Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Max Anstie who avoided a first turn pile up involving several riders including Team HRC’s Tim Gajser. It was only corners later that the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider Antonio Cairoli took the lead spot away from Anstie. The race continued between the 2016 Swiss GP winners, Anstie was MX2 at the time, and though Cairoli maintained his lead Anstie kept within striking distance.

Behind the leaders was initially Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Facing MXGP’s Romain Febvre and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Glenn Coldenhoff. Coldenhoff would however be dispatched from his 4th position by Wilvo Yamaha MXGP Official Team’s Arnaud Tonus. Tonus made the pass with a fast technical move, wheel tapping a single before the grand stand tabletop.

Tonus later felt the heat of Jeffrey Herlings and his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing SX450-F though. Herlings let Tonus know he was right there on several occasions showing him a wheel. Prior to reaching Tonus it was Herlings who had to find his way past Coldenhoff and he did so quickly. In the end Herlings fell while trying to get Tonus and in turn lost a spot back to Coldenhoff.

Up front Cairoli finished out the race 2.1 seconds ahead of Anstie. Cairoli in the press conference said: “I really enjoy riding on this track, it is always very technical. The race was good and the start was okay, I was 3rd at first then immediately went into second and at the end of the first lap I was already first because Max made a mistake and I was able to overtake him. He (Anstie) was always there and put on the pressure, he was riding really good.”

Febvre took third while Tonus took 4th at what is his first ever home GP appearance. Tonus in the press conference said: “I had a good Qualifying Race, my start was pretty good and I felt like I was in a good rhythm. You could really feel the crowd, the way that the track is arranged, they (the fans) can see the whole thing and they really push for us which is a cool feeling and I’m really looking forward for tomorrow.”

Return to racing this weekend was Monster Energy DRT Kawasaki’s Tommy Searle who finished 11th in qualifying. Searle in the press conference said: “I am really happy with 11th. I didn’t expect to be that far up, a couple people crashed on the first turn so that made it a little bit easier for me. I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”

MXGP Qualifying Race Top Ten: 1. Antonio Cairoli (ITA, KTM), 24:05.893; 2. Max Anstie (GBR, Husqvarna), +0:02.108; 3. Romain Febvre (FRA, Yamaha), +0:09.866; 4. Arnaud Tonus (SUI, Yamaha), +0:11.573; 5. Glenn Coldenhoff (NED, KTM), +0:16.075; 6. Jeffrey Herlings (NED, KTM), +0:20.636; 7. Gautier Paulin (FRA, Husqvarna), +0:21.881; 8. Kevin Strijbos (BEL, Suzuki), +0:23.481; 9. Maximilian Nagl (GER, Husqvarna), +0:25.793; 10. Alessandro Lupino (ITA, Honda), +0:47.391.

        

 

There is nothing like the taste of victory but what makes it even sweeter is when you win in front of the home crowd and that is exactly what Team Suzuki World MX2’s Jeremy Seewer is looking to do here in Switzerland. Seewer’s GP Overall chances are looking good as today he took the qualifying race win to go pole.

Seewer wasn’t always in the lead however, at first it was Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Pauls Jonass in front. Jonass made a small mistake in a corner on the first lap and he was unable to keep his KTM upright.

The mistake of Jonass dropped him to 4th, just behind Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Thomas Kjer Olsen who tried to keep the MX2 Championship leader behind him but instead was passed back quickly.

The first real benefactor of the Jonass mistake was LRT KTM’s Julien Lieber who moved into the lead. Lieber looked comfortable out front even as the crowd cheered on Seewer who ran second.

Another rider who was having a strong showing was the American, Monster Energy DRT Kawasaki’s Darian Sanayei. Sanayei ran 5th every nearly every lap of the race pressuring Olsen who consequently pressured Jonass.

Back at the front the Swiss fans continued to push Seewer forward inevitably erupting with cheers when the #91 took the lead away from Lieber. Seewer took the race win with Lieber and Jonass behind. On the final lap Sanayei was able to finally make a pass on Olsen to secure 4th.

Jeremy Seewer in the press conference said: “I feel at home on this track, I really like to race it. It feels good to race in front of the home crowd and I’m just enjoying so much and having fun, I will try to do the same tomorrow!”

MX2 Qualifying Race Top Ten: 1. Jeremy Seewer (SUI, Suzuki), 24:25.631; 2. Julien Lieber (BEL, KTM), +0:05.008; 3. Pauls Jonass (LAT, KTM), +0:17.551; 4. Darian Sanayei (USA, Kawasaki), +0:18.394; 5. Thomas Kjer Olsen (DEN, Husqvarna), +0:19.133; 6. Benoit Paturel (FRA, Yamaha), +0:23.068; 7. Conrad Mewse (GBR, Husqvarna), +0:25.061; 8. Michele Cervellin (ITA, Honda), +0:29.344; 9. Hunter Lawrence (AUS, Suzuki), +0:31.304; 10. Brian Hsu (GER, Husqvarna), +0:37.558.

Monster Energy FIM MXoN Team Denmark announced

Emil Larsen, who is the Monster Energy FIM MXoN Team manager for Denmark has picked the riders that are going to compete for red and white pride at Matterly Basin in England. And the Danish Team might be making a first as there are two sets of brothers on the Team.

The three riders for the Danish Team are Thomas Kjer Olsen, Stefan Kjer Olsen and Nikolaj Larsen. That means that it is a brother and brother Team there will be lining up for Denmark as Thomas Kjer Olsen and Stefan Kjer Olsen are brothers and the same goes for Team manager Emil Larsen and he’s younger brother Nikolaj Larsen.

All three riders have delivered some really good results so far this year. Thomas Kjer Olsen is currently 3rd in the MX2 World Championship. Stefan Kjer Olsen is leading the Danish MX1 Championship (followed by Nikolaj Larsen in second) and Nikolaj Larsen is leading the Swedish MX1 Championship.

"All three riders have done what they had to do to place themselves on the Team. On top on that they all have a lot of international experience, so I really believe that we can make a better result than last year’s 14th place" says Emil Larsen.

What is your favorite thing to do in your free time? I love riding MX Bikes! Hanging out with friends and having fun. I love anything outdoors really!

Do you play any sport?  I ride MX, and love it! That is why I love to work the MXGP so much!

MXGP Heads Straight to Switzerland

(FRAUENFELD-GACHNANG) Switzerland, 9 August 2017 - Only days after the last Grand Prix in Lommel, Belgium, MXGP is ready to take on Switzerland for the 15th round of the FIM Motocross World Championship. The popular MXGP of Switzerland presented by iXS will return to Frauenfeld - Gachnang for the second year in a row after a 15 year hiatus. 2016 hosted not just amazing racing but also an epic crowd with an incredible atmosphere that many riders are looking forward to seeing again this year.

While MXGP and MX2 lead the way, EMX250, EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing, and EMX300 Presented by FMF Racing will all take part in this weekend’s busy racing schedule. EMX250 last raced in Portugal where American Monster Energy BUD Racing rider Tristan Charbonneau took double victories but Yamaha SM Action’s Simone Furlotti took the points lead from Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Morgan Lesiardo. In EMX125 presented by FMF Racing Monster Energy BUD Racing’s Brian Moreau leads the points but Mikkel Haarup is closing the gap. This weekend is also the last stop of the EMX300 presented by FMF Racing championship which Brad Anderson leads by 21 points over GL12’s Mike Kras. Kras has the momentum after taking the last overall in Belgium but it may be a little too late for the Dutchman.

 

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing comes to Switzerland after sweeping the podium last week in Belgium. In the MXGP class Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings has the speed and momentum after beating teammates Antonio Cairoli and Glenn Coldenhoff last weekend.

Cairoli however has the points lead and while he doesn’t need to win to secure the title he isn’t one known to back down. Cairoli won the Swiss GP in 2016 and will look be shooting for 2 years in a row this time out. Another advantage for Cairoli is that Herlings has no history racing the Swiss GP because he was out with an injury this time last year.

Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Clement Desalle had been second in the points for quite some time until Herlings took the spot away. Desalle is having a consistent season and has already won once. This year he will look to improve on his 2016 finish of 10th.

Frenchman and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Gautier Paulin was running well in Belgium until a mistake dropped him back. Since the last race Paulin has been named team captain and MXGP rider for the 2017 French MXoN team. Paulin took 4th last year in Switzerland.

Team HRC’s Tim Gajser had a frustrating Lommel racing and he is focused on rebounding to the podium for this weekend and it is a reasonable goal seeing he took 2nd in 2016.

Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP Team’s Romain Febvre could be somewhat of a dark horse for this GP. He hasn’t had the season of past years but he did mesh well with the Swiss circuit in 2016 when he took third overall after a second in race 2.

Another rider who will want to impress is the Wilvo Yamaha MXGP’s Arnaud Tonus. Tonus is a Swiss native and would like nothing more than to have a season best result at home.

MXGP Championship Top Ten: 1. Antonio Cairoli (ITA, KTM), 567 points; 2. Jeffrey Herlings (NED, KTM), 468 p.; 3. Clement Desalle (BEL, KAW), 462 p.; 4. Gautier Paulin (FRA, HUS), 446 p.; 5. Tim Gajser (SLO, HON), 376 p.; 6. Romain Febvre (FRA, YAM), 365 p.; 7. Maximilian Nagl (GER, HUS), 336 p.; 8. Jeremy Van Horebeek (BEL, YAM), 320 p.; 9. Arnaud Tonus (SUI, YAM), 303 p.; 10. Glenn Coldenhoff (NED, KTM), 302 p.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Pauls Jonass had a difficult weekend in Belgium crashing on the start of race but would still score a podium finish to extend his points lead over Team Suzuki World MX2’s Jeremy Seewer.

For Seewer this is his home GP and one he looks forward to. Seewer finished second in Switzerland last year but only to Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Max Anstie who now rides in the MXGP division.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Thomas Kjer Olsen still holds down third in the points and he comes off a good weekend in Belgium. Olsen raced the Swiss GP last year and took 8th.

Kemea Yamaha Official MX Team’s Benoit Paturel was also caught up in last weekend’s first turn crash but wouldn’t respond as well as Jonass. Paturel is in his last year of MX2 and he was just announced as the replacement rider for team France. Paturel will be keen to score good result this weekend and in the further four races to follow.

One more rider who wants to finish his final MX2 season strong is LRT KTM’s Julien Lieber. Lieber has a good past week starting when he was named to team Belgium for the 2017 Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations, then a podium overall in Lommel, and now it has been announced he will ride alongside Clement Desalle aboard a Monster Energy Kawasaki in 2018. Lieber is surely feeling good and, with the reassurance of riding for KRT next season, he will be able to focus solely on the races at hand which could help him to reach the podium once again.

MX2 Championship Top Ten: 1. Pauls Jonass (LAT, KTM), 589 points; 2. Jeremy Seewer (SUI, SUZ), 539 p.; 3. Thomas Kjer Olsen (DEN, HUS), 437 p.; 4. Benoit Paturel (FRA, YAM), 429 p.; 5. Julien Lieber (BEL, KTM), 412 p.; 6. Thomas Covington (USA, HUS), 351 p.; 7. Jorge Prado Garcia (ESP, KTM), 315 p.; 8. Brian Bogers (NED, KTM), 294 p.; 9. Hunter Lawrence (AUS, SUZ), 246 p.; 10. Brent Van doninck (BEL, YAM), 246 p.
