MANTOVA (ITALY),
11 April 2010 – Taking victory at the Grand Prix of Lombardia,
Antonio Cairoli
wrote a new page in Motocross history as he collected the maiden
Grand Prix
win of a 350cc machine in the likes of the KTM 350 SX-F. Clement
Desalle
and Max Nagl completed the MX1 podium.
Marvin Musquin took his fourth consecutive heat win to win the Grand
Prix
from Ken Roczen and Jeffrey Herlings.
Mats Nilsson dominated round one of the FIM Veterans’ World Cup by
winning
both heats. Hendrickx and Lheriteau completed the podium.
The maiden edition of the EMX 125cc European series kicked off at
Mantova
and saw the victory of French Jordi Tixier.
MX1
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing MX1’s Cairoli walked away from Mantova
with his
first GP win of the season and with the MX1 red plate which he
snatched
from team mate Nagl, winner in Bulgaria last weekend. Cairoli’s
success
marked the first ever triumph in a Motocross GP of a 350cc bike in
the
likes of the KTM 350 SX-F. The Italian recovered to second in moto
one
after a bad start but rode an impressive final heat, dominating from
the
start to the flag.
Rockstar Teka Suzuki World MX1’s Desalle took victory in the opening
heat
which he started leading after previous leader Philippaerts made a
mistake
and crashed. In the second moto instead he had to recover from the
bottom
of the top ten to a final fourth to secure the podium.
Third man on the rostrum was Red Bull KTM Factory Racing MX1’s Nagl
who
dropped down to second in the Championship. The German ended third
twice in
the heats.
Yamaha Monster Energy Ricci’s De Dycker ended fourth overall ahead
of a
surprising Boog of Kawasaki Racing. The French MX1 debutant even
took the
holeshot in the second race.
Home rider Philippaerts ended a bitter eight. He was second in heat
two but
a penalty in the first heat –where he crashed and broke his exhaust
pipe- saw
him drop down to 19th.

MX2
Musquin of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing MX2 rolled to his fourth
consecutive
heat win to take another Grand Prix win. The defending MX2 Champion
has
been incredible through the first two Grand Prix’s of 2010 and has
only
missed out on taking a pole so far.
Teka Suzuki Europe World MX2’s Roczen took a solid second place
finish as
he gave his best to chase Musquin for the overall win in heat one.
Towards
the last part of the race the German came close to Musquin but could
not
move past him despite a dramatic last lap.
In the final moto instead it was team mate Herlings to worry
Musquin. The
15 year old Dutch made up for his first heat crashes with a solid
ride in
the final heat, leading from the start to the penultimate lap, but
made a
mistake in the last lap due to tiredness. Musquin then passed and
left
Herlings in second, which was enough to secure the Dutchman his
first
career podium at only the second GP of his career.
Bike-it Cosworth Yamaha UK’s Osborne was fourth overall courtesy of
two
good rides and Kawasaki CLS’ Frossard was fifth. The French was
third in
moto one despite a crash –due to a sudden stop of his engine- but
crashed
at the opening lap of the final heat.
