Italian Nations team announced with Cairoli, Philippaerts and Guarneri set for Kegums. @Antoniocairoli in MX2 for a change
KTM Europe is making a mockery of "racing" overseas. If I were you GP guys I would be demanding more from them and your series.
To the guy above me: Herlings was at the mxon races 09 11 and 12 together with Cairoli, even 12 when everyone expected him to be faster in the sand.
KTM could go 1-2 on the races with those too but you think they put Cairoli down on a 250 so he cant beat him? lol thats pretty... weird to think,
Why dont they put Herlings down then since he races the 250 all year (Cairoli is Italys top guy as much as herlings is for holland...)
The Shop
The Italian Federation held a few minutes ago in the Finnish Hyvinkää a press conference in which they line up was their "Motocross Des Nations' known for this year Kegums. The big surprise it is that we will see true Antonio Cairoli in the MX2 class. The "old fox" will therefore have to duel against a lot of younger pilots. His colleagues, without breakdown or injury, Davide Guarneri in MX1 and David Philippaerts in the MX Open class. Italy has thus three pilots who certainly strong can come for the day. In addition, the 'foefelare' Tony Cairoli could well be a strong tactical of the Italian federation. The latest editions of the 'MXDN' being increasingly won by countries, their MX2 pilot exceptionally strong performance. You remember but Ken Roczen in Germany with his MX2 machine scored as many points than the average MX1 pilot as well as our hero Jeremy Van Horebeek who thinly chase did for us Belgians in Germany.

I think it will be great.
Will this encourage USA to attend now that Cairoli who won the last four motos he raced in at the MXDN has dropped down?
I guess Italy are still betting on him being close to the front or even winning for this to work. Surprised they did wait on Lupino getting back to speed first.
It's a tactical move from team Italy. They need a strong mx2 rider to score points while keeping a strong mx1/mx3 team.

It's not because x beats y on one event that he's the ultimate fastest in the series.
Is Cairoli loses to a younger rider, Jeremy Martin for instance, would that not tarnish his reputation more? I think its a bold move and adds some intrigue. I don't understand this constant cynicism all the time.
KTM is a business, they make decisions with their best interests in mind, and they seem to be doing pretty damn good..
not conspiracies, just good common sense... which of course would be lost on a good portion of the posters here..
Why on earth would they not simply order Herlings to race the MX2 class???
2011, 2012 he was on the 350 indeed.
I said that they each make decisions that are best for them.
damn...
