Desalle and Roczen conquer the last Grand Prix of the season

FERMO
(ITALY), 12 September 2010 – The 2010 FIM Motocross World
Championship arrived to its end in Fermo with Clement Desalle and Ken
Roczen being the overall winners. Antonio Cairoli and Marvin Musquin
had an unfortunate weekend suffering both two small injuries which
prevented them from finishing the season on top of the
rostrum. 

Clement Desalle finished his season with an
unexpected overall victory for him as he landed in Fermo still
injured from the heavy crashes in Lierop. His team-mate Steve Ramon
achieved his first heat victory of the season and finished second
overall. Sebastian Pourcel got his best result of the season in Fermo
being on the third step of the rostrum. 

In MX2 Ken
Roczen brought his Suzuki machine at the top of the podium and
Gautier Paulin was second overall after obtaining his maiden GP
victory of the season last weekend in Lierop. Arnaud Tonus achieved
his best result in his career finishing third overall in
Fermo.

Pascal Rauchenecker clinched the overall victory
winning the two heats of the last round of the UEM EMX125
Championship. Arnaud Aubin was second and Maxime Desprey completed
the top three. 


MX1

Rockstar
Teka Suzuki World MX1's Desalle was not really lucky in the last
Grand Prix's of the season but he could not have a better ending of
the season after achieving the overall victory in Fermo. On Saturday
Desalle had terrible pain on his right leg due to the crash he
suffered in Lierop and winning the Italian Grand Prix was not really
in his mind. However, the Belgian managed to finish fifth in the
first heat and got full confidence on himself for race two and
clinched the victory. With such result Desalle went up to the top of
podium for the third time this season and also celebrated his second
final position in the FIM MX1 World Championship. 

Other
Rockstar Teka Suzuki World MX1 rider Ramon was on the second step of
the podium after obtaining his maiden heat victory of the season in
race one and being fourth in the second heat. Ramon expressed his
satisfaction for his overall result but he was a bit disappointed for
not being able to achieve the GP victory in Fermo. Ramon finished
fifth in the Championship seven points behind Nagl. 

Kawasaki
Racing Team's Pourcel was back on the podium for the first time this
season after not an easy year for the French. Pourcel was third and
second during the races and showed that his confidence is back and he
is ready to be part again of Kawasaki Racing Team in the 2011
season. 

Boog rode again with the front riders after his
knee injury he suffered in Lommel and obtained an overall fourth
position. Kawasaki Racing Team's Boog did an excellent race one, and
after a good start he managed to follow Ramon's and Desalle's rhythm
and he finally ended second of the race. In the second heat he could
just finish fifth but the French was really happy with his
performance this weekend and he is now looking forward to the
Nations. 

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing MX1's Nagl was
fifth overall in Fermo after his second position in the last Grand
Prix in Lierop. The German was just sixth in the first heat and he
managed to ride most of race two in the second position until Pourcel
passed him with just three laps to go. The German finished fourth of
the FIM MX1 World Championship just four points behind
Philippaerts. 

Philippaerts could not achieve his goal of
winning at home and he was just sixth in the Italian GP. The Italian
did not have a good start but managed to go from eight to fifth in
the first laps of race one. However, he lost his battle with Pourcel
when fighting for the fourth position and after crashing he could
just finish seventh. In the second race Philippaerts finished sixth
with a left knee injury because his foot slipped off the footpeg in a
downhill with the Italian suffering all the way through until the
chequered flag. Philippaerts will go straight to his doctor tomorrow
to have his knee checked and to make sure he will be fit for the Red
Bull FIM Motocross of Nations. However, with this weekend's result,
Philippaerts finished third in the Championship 35 points behind
Desalle. 

Coppins raced his last Grand Prix in Fermo and
achieved a solid seventh position for twelfth in the
Champ¡onship. 

Gonçalves had really good starts in both
races but he could not keep the rhythm of his rivals and was just
ninth and eleventh in the heats. 

Davide Guarneri
finished eighth in the first race but he had to give his best in the
second heat as he crashed in the start and climbed up to the eleventh
position. 

Aranda was back to racing in Fermo and
obtained a solid tenth overall position. 

Barragán was
fifth in the first race but he did not finish the second heat as he
crashed at the very beginning when he was riding in the seventh
position. His second moto crash involved also MX3 World Champion
Campano, who left the track in an ambulance as he was diagnosed a
head concussion. 

Brazilian Balbi finished sixteenth
after not a really good first race, but he managed to finish 13th in
the second heat.

2010 FIM MX1 World Champion Cairoli could not
delight his Italian fans with the overall victory as he had to stop
racing in the first race after twisting his left ankle while landing
in a slippery area of the track. The Italian decided not to race the
second heat in order not to risk too much and try to be 100% ready
for the Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations. 

Aubin did an
excellent qualifying race finishing third after Pourcel and
Philippaerts, but today he suffered a heavy crash and broke his
coccyx.

MX2

Starting
from pole for the fifth time in 2010, Teka Suzuki Europe World MX2’s
Roczen made the most of it as he stormed to two moto wins and took
the overall win of this last round of 2010. The German rode a perfect
first moto after getting rid of holeshotter Musquin, but the duo
battled for the first half of moto two adding drama to this final
round of the Championship. Eventually Roczen moved past while Musquin
crashed and pulled out of the race, leaving the German alone in first
place. At the end of the day KTM announced that Roczen will ride for
them in 2011.

Second on the podium was Yamaha Monster Energy
Motocross’ Paulin who managed to remain on the rostrum after last
weekend’s win in Lierop. The French admitted he could not perform
at his best on the Italian hard pack and reckoned he would need more
bike time in these conditions if he wants to keep up the pace of
riders such as Roczen and Musquin. Though a fourth and a third place
were worth a podium for Paulin, breaking into the top ten of the
Championship.

Other Teka Suzuki Europe World MX2 rider Tonus
made it to his first career podium this weekend in Italy. The
youngster from Switzerland was aiming at the top three in race one
but a tough move of Paulin dropped him down to fifth while in the
second race Tonus recovered from the bottom of the top ten to an
eventual fourth, completing on the overall podium.

Kawasaki
CLS’ Frossard managed to finish fourth overall courtesy of his
second place from the last moto, making up for an 11th place in race
one due to a crash in the first lap-Frossard rejoined the race from
the back of the pack.
Completing the top five was Nestaan JM
Racing KTM’s Roelants, who could also move up to fifth in the
Championship. The Belgian missed the fourth place in the points
standings by just one point, with Osborne finishing fourth
eventually. Herlings instead dropped down to sixth ahead of
Tonus.

Leib was a surprising seventh in Fermo, which is the
best result of his rookie season in the FIM Motocross World
Championship. 

World MX2 Champion Musquin instead dropped
down to tenth after he was forced to pull out of moto two. The French
crashed and hurt his arm, leaving the race track in pain with a big
bruise on his arm.
Lupino narrowly missed out on the top ten as he
finished 11th overall, still being the highest placed Italian in the
category. 

Van Horebeek was an unlucky twelfth, with the
Belgian taking third in heat one but retiring from moto two after a
crash.

took the overall victory in Italy as he stormed to first in both
motos today. The Austrian dominated the event ahead of French Aubin,
taking his first career podium courtesy of a fourth place in heat one

missed this final round due to a broken right hand. Jaulin finished
second in the Championship but took fourth overall in Italy while
Bernardini jumped up to third in the Championship as he took sixth at
his home round. Lafont instead dropped down to fourth in the
Championship at the end of a bad weekend. Italian Ciucci was also
disappointed as he crashed out of moto two after taking second in
moto one. TGM’s Gajser was twelfth at the manufacturer’s comeback
