Defending MXGP champion Antonio Cairoli of the Red Bull KTM Factory team is slowly working his way towards regaining the red plate he has so often owned. The Italian looked brilliant in the opening moto of last weekend’s Grand Prix of France, winning just ahead of eventual GP winner Romain Febvre. In the second moto a terrible start saw the eight times world motocross champion stuck mid-field, from that moment on it was not going to be an easy job to win the GP.

Still, he made the podium in third place and continues to be the smartest rider in the MXGP class. Cairoli had won two Grand Prix overalls in Spain and England and is doing what he does every year, piling on the points and putting pressure on his competition. France though wasn’t the weekend he had hoped for, yet he still made a small inroad into the series lead by Max Nagl.

“I struggled pretty much all the weekend,” Cairoli said. “You need to get a good start with a track like this, it is really important to be at the front as quickly as possible. The track was not one of the best for me, for sure in the second moto it was tough. You had to ride carefully because the ruts were deep and it was difficult. I am happy, I am healthy and we got two points on Max and that is important for the championship.”

Going into France the Italian wasn’t really looking at winning, as his main goal was to score more points than his rivals. With friend Max Nagl holding the red plate Cairoli wanted to walk away from the Grand Prix of France with a big smile on his face and more points than his German rival.

“For sure my goal was to score more points on Max, and the first moto I rode well and was feeling good. It was so important to get a good start at least top five or top six to try and stay with the front guys. I made a mistake myself in the second moto and I couldn’t go closer to 16^th in the start then I made some mistakes and nearly crashed four times so I just though I needed to get as many points as possible for the championship.”

The Red Bull KTM Factory rider will now head to Maggiora, Italy where he will try and continue his climb towards Nagl and that red plate. There is expected to be a huge crowd in attendance and that will help the Italian legend reach his goals.

“I love racing the Grand Prix’s in Italy. Maggiora isn’t one of my favorite circuits, but I still love racing there and I have done well in previous years.”

Look for Cairoli to bring something special to Maggiora, he will once again want to give his fellow countrymen something to cheer about.

Husqvarna Motorsports has announced their intention to compete in the final round of the 2015 MXGP World Championship with riders from both of its factory teams. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna factory Racing (the US Factory Team) will join Red Bull IceOne Husqvarna Fatory Racing and Wilwo Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing at the classic Glen Helen venue in California for what promises to be an outstanding finish to the 2015 season.

The race weekend for the final round of the World Championship will be September 29-30 at Glen Helen, one week before the annual Motocross of Nations in France.

Robert Jonas, Head of Husqvarna Motorsports: “We believe that having our three factory teams at Glen Helen will be a real highlight and a true celebration of our sport. Giving our US riders the possibility to race in the last round of the 2015 World Championship is an exciting opportunity, particularly for the fans, but also for the teams, to see the world’s best compete together.”

Jonas said creating the conditions to see the world’s great riders in action on a track that is universally popular on both sides of the Atlantic was a definite win-win situation for the sport. “Our MXGP riders welcome the chance to test themselves against the best US riders and Glen Helen is an ideal venue. This will be a very good opportunity to finish the traditional season on a high note. Hopefully we will see many of the best US riders and teams take up the invitation and join us in what will be a very memorable race weekend.”

On the 22^nd and 23^rd of August the fifteenth round of the FIM Motocross World Championship, MXGP of Lombardia, will take place at the famous Italian sand circuit of Mantova.

Rockstar Energy Suzuki World MXGP’s Clement Desalle will ‘test’ his injured right shoulder next week and may even be in contention for an appearance at the Grand Prix of Italy after being advised that surgery is avoidable on the joint that he briefly dislocated in France last weekend. 

The Belgian went for six scans and checks after being forced out of round eight of 18 after only being able to notch one lap of the first moto. The shoulder has suffered some damage common with this type of injury but Desalle has been advised that through applying rest and light exercise there is no need to consider an operation at this point. 

Desalle plans to follow Doctors orders and if his body feels strong enough and he is confident in the shoulder then he will try to ride his RM-Z450 next week. After this Desalle and the team will assess whether or not he can travel and compete at Maggiora for round nine on June 13-14th.
