MXGP

Following the press conference here at MXGP of Finland, the team which has been selected to represent Italy at the 2014 Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations in Kegums, Latvia was announced.

Mr. Thomas Traversini, Italy’s Team Manager, revealed the team will consist of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli, DP19 Yamaha Racing’s David Philippaerts and TM Ricci Racing’s Davide Guarneri. Cairoli will be competing on a KTM250SX-F as the MX2 rider while Guarneri and Philippaerts will remain on their 450’s as the Open and MXGP class contenders.

Mr. Traversini said “It is like a present for Team Italy for Antonio to sacrifice himself and go back to a 250 bike so the team has the best chance at a good result”.

Cairoli said “It has been almost seven years since I rode a MX2 bike but for the last two years I have won at the motocross of nations so I am happy with what I have achieved and I want Italy to achieve the best position we can. I don’t think it could be any other way, I am the smallest and the lightest and I think going from a 350 to a 250 is not such a big step. I know it won’t be easy, I don’t expect a lot but I will do my best.”

HYVINKÄÄ (Finland), 12 July 2014 – Hyvinkää brings out those emotions you get when your local track gets its first ‘big-time’ race. It has a homely feel with flowing loamy turns and tricky sand straights that get incredibly chopped up and technically challenging. Proving to be the masters of the sand, as predicted, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s pair of champions Antonio Cairoli and Jeffrey Herlings bagged pole in their respective classes.

Meanwhile also taking place here at MXGP of Finland, the first races of the European Championships EMX65, EMX85, EMX250 and EMX300.

Starting with the little dudes, Russian Maksim Kraev ran away for the first EMX65 race win ahead of fellow Russian Nikita Kucherov while super Swede Noel Nilsson recovered from a hugely impressive superman/indian air/nac-nac turn crash, to wrap up an impressive third.

In the EMX85, Belgium’s future star Jago Geerts put in a sensational ride claim the maximum twenty-five points while Holland’s Roan Van De Moosdijk took second with local kid Kim Savaste rounding out the top three.

With all three growing up racing in the sand of Belgium and Holland, Creymert Racing’s Brent Van Doninck, HSF Logistics Motorsport Team’s Brian Bogers and Kemea Yamaha Racing Team’s Nick Kouwenberg came home in first, second and third in the EMX250 respectively, while in the EMX300 TM Racing Team’s Samuele Bernardini dominated from start to finish for his eighth race win of the season. GL12 Racing’s Lewis Gregory came home in second with Wilvo Forkrent KTM’s Kenny Van Dueren rounding out the top three.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli welcomed everyone to the Tony Cairoli show today when he had his KTM350SX-F tapped off the start to take the holeshot and run away for his fifth pole position of the season.

Meanwhile behind the defending champ, BikeIT Yamaha Cosworth’s Rui Gonçalves was feeling it, chasing TC222 around turn one and finally showing what he is really capable of, while Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Van Horebeek and Hitachi Construction Machinery UK KTM’s Shaun Simpson followed.

Before the end of lap three, Van Horebeek made a nice move up the inside of Gonçalves to take over second, but was already up against the eight ball for the win with Cairoli out front making the most of his clear track.

Engaging in one of the most impressive battles of the race, Gonçalves kept a tenacious Simpson at bay for at least half the heat before relenting and settling for fourth.

Despite a mediocre start, CLS Kawasaki Monster Energy’s Tommy Searle got creative out there to push his way into fifth and round out the top five while props have to be given to Swedish Filip Bengtsson who was hauling all day, remarkably topping the charts in both free and timed practice and finishing his day off with a sixth place finish in the qualifying heat race.

MXGP Qualifying Race top ten: 1. Antonio Cairoli (ITA, KTM), 23:43.894; 2. Jeremy Van Horebeek (BEL, Yamaha), +0:09.461; 3. Shaun Simpson (GBR, KTM), +0:13.782; 4.

MX2

The thrills and spills of MX2’s qualifying heat race here in Hyvinkää made it easily the most captivating qualifying race of the season. With sand being the surface, most would have expected Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings to run away with it, and while the Flying Dutchman did win; it was far from an easy feat.

When the gates dropped, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jordi Tixier was the man who threw together the best jump, traction and gear shifts to take the holeshot ahead of the local hero Sahkar Racing’s Harri Kullas, CLS Kawasaki Monster Energy’s Dylan Ferrandis and Standing Construct KTM’s Valentin Guillod. Herlings came around turn one in sixth but wasting no time in typical Herlings fashion had already moved into second before the end of lap one.

By the end of lap two Herlings had drag raced his teammate Tixier down the back straight to take over the lead. While Tixier appeared more determined than ever to hold onto the back of the reigning world champ he soon came undone with a horrendous crash over the finish line jump.

Like dominoes, the riders started dropping with the ‘most surprising fall award’ going to Herlings who was pinning it around a berm which broke away at the exit high siding him off the bike and knocking the wind out of him.

While Herlings struggled to get his breath back, CLS Kawasaki Monster Energy’s Dylan Ferrandis and Standing Construct KTM’s Valentin Guillod inherited the first and second positions.

While Guillod pushed to keep Ferrandis honest, the same corner that caught Herlings out was causing absolute carnage with riders like Yamaha Factory Racing’s Christophe Charlier, Honda Gariboldi’s Tim Gajser and Wilvo Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Romain Febvre being just a few of a handful to fall victim to the tricky turn.

As the race went on, Herlings who had only lost a few positions, slowly started to regain his rhythm, charging past the Fin Kullas, who was doing an amazing job in third, before going to work on Guillod. Speaking of the Swiss sensation Guillod, an ‘A’ for effort has to be given as he held off the hot favorite for at least ten minutes.

After eating roost off of the back wheel of Guillod’s Standing Construct KTM, Herlings soon had had enough and made an aggressive pass on the Swiss rider. After moving into second it was four laps to go for the champ who was about eight seconds down on the leader Ferrandis. Nevertheless, he was determined and it was obvious there is no way ‘The King of Sand’ would want to be beaten on his number one surface.

With two laps to go, it was evident it would be a race to the finish. Herlings had closed right up on Ferrandis who had taken a look over his shoulder and caught a glimpse of the red plated number 84 machine. While the Frenchman rode phenomenal in what was one of the best qualifying race show-downs of the season, about fifteen seconds from the checkers the eager Dutchman threw in a scrub and got his weight right back for maximum traction to out drag the CLS Kawasaki rider and take over the lead for the race win.

Guillod came home in a convincing third, twenty-one seconds clear of Kemea Yamaha Racing’s Petar Petrov and Sahkar Racing’s local lad Harri Kullas, who both obtained their best place finishes of the season in fourth and fifth respectively.

MX2 Qualifying Race top ten: 1. Jeffrey Herlings (NED, KTM), 23:32.491; 2. Dylan Ferrandis (FRA, Kawasaki), +0:00.386; 3. Valentin Guillod (SUI, KTM), +0:08.644; 4. Petar Petrov (BUL, Yamaha), +0:29.617; 5. Harri Kullas (FIN, KTM), +0:32.289; 6. Julien Lieber (BEL, Suzuki), +0:36.672; 7. Jose Butron (ESP, KTM), +0:41.318; 8. Pauls Jonass (LAT, KTM), +0:43.458; 9. Aleksandr Tonkov (RUS, Husqvarna), +0:44.411; 10. Vsevolod Brylyakov (RUS, Honda), +0:51.709.

MXGP of Finland

Have a chat with MXGP's number two guy Yamaha Factory Racing's Jeremy Van Horebeek.

Yesterday afternoon at MXGP of Finland, the Finnish federation hosted an opening ceremony here in Hyvinkää at round thirteen of the FIM Motocross World Championship.

During the presentation Finnish officials such as Mr. Kurt Ljugvist, CEO of the Finnish Motorcycling Federation, and Mr. Juha Henrikssonm, President of Hyvinkää Motorsport Club, along with Finnish greats such as Antti Pyrhönen, team manager of Red Bull IceOne Husqvarna Factory Racing, shared their thanks and pleasure to have yet another round of MXGP in Finland.

Following the quick speeches of the Finnish officials, a new organization promoting safety in motocross was introduced. MX Safety is a society whose objective is to collect information and feedback from racers on how they can improve safety within our sport. The aim is that all the riders, fans, personnel and sponsors speak up and share their thoughts on how to make motocross as safe as possible. Rounding out the introduction of this new phase in motorcycle safety, a few people wrote a message on special pit-boards which will be shared on MX Safety’s social media networks.

Meanwhile a little later in the day another media opportunity took place, and a pretty awesome one at that, loads of vintage motorcycles took to the original Hyvinkää Grand Prix circuit which is located approximately one kilometer from the newer and more modern circuit which MXGP uses today.

Around twenty riders showed up with bikes from the era of the 60’s right through to the early 80’s. Plenty of people showed up to witness the extremely loud and roaring sound of the past and also to show some appreciation for the riders who dusted off the retro bikes which almost required their entire bodyweight to start, with drum brake systems which are just about as effective as a set of V-brakes.

Just like the old school bikes, the old circuit is super gnarly. It wasn’t groomed in the slightest and had loads of elevation with a sandy yet extremely rocky base. A nice challenge for the old-school bikes that aren’t exactly equipped with state of the art suspension and brakes. Nevertheless it was a cool experience and was especially cool to see a legend such as ten times FIM Motocross World Champion Stefan Everts ripping around along with the future stars like CLS Kawasaki Monster Energy’s Thomas Covington and Sahkar Racing’s Harri Kullas.

Antonio Cairoli is the best motocross rider in the world at the moment and in many cases the smartest. Leading the toughest series in the world, the FIM MXGP World Championship, the multi-time world champion is working hard to get to his best form. It’s little wonder that the competition continue to struggle to catch the little Italian as he storms to World title number eight and he has made another break after his double moto win in Sweden last weekend.

With 527 points Cairoli has a 45 point lead over new second placed man Jeremy Van Horebeek from the Yamaha Factory team with Clement Desalle (after his crash in Sweden) a further 12 points back.

In Sweden Cairoli once again went 1-1 and scored his 70^th Grand Prix victory. Amazing and all this in a season when he himself admits he hasn’t found his real speed.

Q: Antonio, your 70^th GP victory and another win in Sweden. How do you feel after your win in Sweden?

Cairoli: You know I am very happy, because I rode well and I think the start was really important last weekend, like the last few races and we managed to make good starts and I tried to stay in front and not make mistakes and ride smooth and try and be away from the others. The track wasn’t that difficult so the top five or six guys had similar speed. I was sick all week and wasn’t that confident with my condition, but I felt I was riding better and better and I could push in the training and I hope I can keep this speed for the coming races.

Q: You extended your championship points lead in Sweden and Clement Desalle crashed and you made up a lot of points because of that. What is the plan now for the future races?

Cairoli: I only have one GP that I think I don’t like a little and that is Loket, but I train a lot on hard pack and I am getting better even if I don’t like it. The last years the tracks seem to be getting harder and harder and a lot of the tracks are not good for the 350, because I rev a lot and I lose a lot of traction in the corners but like I said, I will do my best on the hard packed tracks.

Q: What about the championship, can you start looking at that yet, your eighth world title?

Cairoli: I don’t think about the championship yet because my goal is to be better on the bike, and I haven’t felt that great on the bike because I didn’t have my best feelings this year, but I hope I can find it in the last part of the season.

MXGP of Finland

HYVINKÄÄ (Finland), 09 July 2014 – Tackling the second destination within the Scandinavian region of Europe, round thirteen of the FIM Motocross World Championship gets all set to shift some sand at the compact and soft surfaced track in Hyvinkää, Finland, this weekend, July 13.

Prior to last year, the last FIM Motocross Grand Prix held at this particular circuit was back in 1991 when local legend Pekka Vehkonen claimed victory in front of his home crowd.

This year will mark MXGP’s second consecutive return to Hyvinkää this decade, which based on statistics, will more than likely play right into the hands of the current FIM Motocross World Championship leaders and defending champions Antonio Cairoli and Jeffrey Herlings who both took home double victories in 2013 and have proved on many occasions their skill, speed and stamina in the sand is second to none.

As a special edition to the MXGP and MX2 racing, the little guys tearing up Europe on 65 and 85’s will be racing their one and only round of the European EMX65 and EMX85 championships while the European Championship EMX250 and EMX300 will line up for their semi-final round this season.

MXGP

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli was looking solid last weekend in Sweden admitting he is back into the full swing of things training wise and is starting to feel better on the bike each and every outing.

Meanwhile, Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Van Horebeek doesn’t mind a sand race every now and then although he has said to prefer harder surfaces. Given his ridiculous record of podium finishes, a staggering eleven out of twelve, putting your money on Van Horebeek for yet another podium finish this weekend is more or less a safe bet.

This weekend’s underdog will more than likely be Rockstar Energy Suzuki World’s Kevin Strijbos. Like Van Horebeek, coming from Belgium, Strijbos knows how to get things done in the sand, which will be a solid asset for him and his burning desire to move up a step or two on the podium.

While Team HRC’s Max Nagl is no threat to the championship after being M.I.A, missing in action at five rounds recently due to injury, the German, who is still a free agent for 2015, is out to prove he’s got the goods to be a front-runner next year.

Another still on the come-back from injury, CLS Kawasaki Monster Energy’s Tommy Searle has started to look a little more aggressive out on the circuit lately. While it’s a commonly known fact the Brit doesn’t rate himself as the best sand rider in the world, he knows he’s good enough to be in the top five and with his name on the entry list for the British Championship which is set to take place next weekend at a sandy circuit, you can count on Searle to be cranking laps in the dunes this week in preparation.

Red Bull IceOne Husqvarna Factory Racing's Dean Ferris feels like he's not yet shown his cards. Coming into Hyvinkää the Australian will have had two weeks riding and testing with the team since his arrival from the USA early last week. After standing on the second step of the podium here in MX2 last year, the twenty-four-year-old will be radiating confidence and eager to set in an equally good performance this weekend in MXGP.

Last but not least, it’s not yet known if we can expect to see Rockstar Energy Suzuki World’s Clement Desalle on the grid this weekend after his gnarly first turn crash in Sweden. While it has been released the Belgian has been given the ‘all clear’ by the docs, the twenty-five year old has gone on to say he is feeling very stiff and second-hand. Maybe the fact he trails his fellow countryman Van Horebeek by twelve, meaning second in the championship is still achievable, will be enough motivation to soldier on.

MXGP World Championship Classification Top Ten: 1. Antonio Cairoli (ITA, KTM), 527 points; 2. Jeremy Van Horebeek (BEL, YAM), 482 p.; 3. Clement Desalle (BEL, SUZ), 470 p.; 4. Kevin Strijbos (BEL, SUZ), 390 p.; 5. Shaun Simpson (GBR, KTM), 267 p.; 6. Steven Frossard (FRA, KAW), 265 p.; 7. Maximilian Nagl (GER, HON), 237 p.; 8. David Philippaerts (ITA, YAM), 210 p.; 9. Davide Guarneri (ITA, TM), 207 p.; 10. Gautier Paulin (FRA, KAW), 205 p.

MX2

Not taking anything away from the rest of the competition in the MX2, but you’d have to have a screw loose to bet against Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings on a sand circuit. While many scratch their head as to what motivates the nineteen-year-old motocross sensation, we can tell you this weekend it’s a perfect score which will allow him to walk away with the possibility of FIM MX2 World Title number three being wrapped up at the following round of the FIM Motocross World Championship in Loket, Czech Republic.

Another rider who has the talent to be a threat for the 2015 MX2 title, but is yet un-signed, is Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jordi Tixier. At the moment, Tixier lands on the podium 50% of the time with six from twelve podium finishes to his name. After successfully uncorking a bottle of bubbly at the last four rounds of MX2, it would appear Tixier has the ball rolling.

He’s the baby of the MX2 class, at the tender age of seventeen, yet rides with maturity and a skill base beyond his years. A lot of eyes are on Honda Gariboldi’s humble and friendly Slovenian Tim Gajser as he continues to impress with his speed and style, and now his results, too.

There wouldn’t be many hungrier for a podium finish than Valentin Guillod and his team Standing Construct KTM. While he’s managed to win qualifying races, and rip holeshots, the talented Swiss always finds himself up against lady luck. A podium before the season is out will be the cherry on the cake for Guillod, after a long hard fought season of coming so close but yet so far.

Five rounds to make something spectacular happen before moving up to MXGP, the pressure is on Wilvo Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Romain Febvre. With the team being based right near the world renowned dunes of Lommel, Febvre is not shy of the sand and could well be a safe bet for a podium finish, if he manages to keep the bike rubber side down.

Meanwhile, tearing it up for the locals Sahkar Racing’s Harri Kullas looked keener than ever last weekend in Sweden when he ripped the holeshot in the qualifying heat. An attempt for another holeshot in race one backfired when the Fin plowed straight into the gate instead. Either way, we took notice and he did manage to bank fifteen points over the weekend. If he brings that determined attitude to the line again this weekend, there’s no doubt the youngster will make his home crowd proud.

MX2 World Championship Classification Top Ten: 1. Jeffrey Herlings (NED, KTM), 544 points; 2. Jordi Tixier (FRA, KTM), 409 p.; 3. Arnaud Tonus (SUI, KAW), 389 p.; 4. Romain Febvre (FRA, HUS), 388 p.; 5. Dylan Ferrandis (FRA, KAW), 372 p.; 6. Tim Gajser (SLO, HON), 350 p.; 7. Valentin Guillod (SUI, KTM), 288 p.; 8. Aleksandr Tonkov (RUS, HUS), 284 p.; 9. Jose Butron (ESP, KTM), 265 p.; 10. Jeremy Seewer (SUI, SUZ), 234 p.
