Desalle and Roczen to retain the leadership in Uddevalla

FUNCHAL
(Portugal), 29 June 2011 – After a week break, the FIM Motocross World
Championship will be back in Uddevalla, Sweden, to celebrate the eighth
round of the 2011 season. The Swedish track will also host the second
round of the UEM EMX-125 championship, after its inaugural round in
Bulgaria in the beginning of April.

Clement
Desalle, current leader of the MX1 series, dislocated his right shoulder
in Belgium last weekend, but he is determined to keep the leadership
from the likes of Antonio Cairoli, who is just one point behind the
Belgian. Steven Frossard is back to the third position, followed by Max
Nagl and Evgeny Bobryshev.


In the MX2 class Ken Roczen regained the red plate in La Bañeza, while
his teammate Jeffrey Herlings did not have a very good weekend finishing
fourth overall. Tommy Searle keeps on being third in the point
standings, but he is getting closer to the two leading riders.


The UEM EMX125 championship will be present in Uddevalla to celebrate
the second round of the series. Simone Zecchina is the current red plate
holder, followed by his compatriot Samule Bernadini and the Swiss
Jeremy Seewer.

MX1
Rockstar Energy Suzuki
World MX1’s Desalle travels to Uddevalla with a small injury on his
right shoulder, after dislocating it in Belgium last weekend. The
Belgian is confident for this weekend, as he feels capable of fighting
for the overall victory, as he did last year in Portugal when he was
suffering from a similar shoulder injury.


Red Bull Teka KTM Factory Racing MX1’s Cairoli obtained his second
overall victory last weekend in La Bañeza and he is looking forward to
repeating his 2010 overall victory in the Swedish track. Cairoli is just
one point behind Desalle, so Uddevalla might be the place where the
Italian obtains his first red plate of the season.


Monster Energy Yamaha’s Frossard is back to the third position in the
point standings after winning the first heat of the Spanish GP and being
ninth in the second one. Uddevalla is a very special track for the
French young talent, as last year he obtained his maiden GP victory in
the MX2 class.


Red Bull Teka KTM Factory Racing MX1’s Nagl seems to have recovered his
confidence and fitness and in Spain was able to finish third in the
qualifying race and he obtained a 4-6 result on Sunday. The German keeps
his fourth position in the Championship, but his pursuers are closing
up the gap.


Honda World Motocross’ Bobryshev is fifth in the point standings and he
hopes to improve the eighth overall position obtained in Spain two weeks
ago. The Russian was fourth last year in Uddevalla, so he might be able
to be back on the podium and fight for his maiden MX1 overall victory.


Gregory Aranda will be back at the starting grid of the Swedish GP after having his right arm opertated.

MX2
Red
Bull Teka KTM Factory Racing MX2’s Roczen regained the red plate from
his teammate Herlings after dominating both heats of the Spanish GP.
Roczen finished eighth overall last year in Uddevalla, as a technical
problem on his bike did not let him finish the first heat. However, the
German dominated the final heat from beginning to end, so he is
confident to obtain another overall victory this weekend even not being
fully fit from his back injury.


His teammate Herlings is the runner up of the MX2 World Championship,
six points away from Roczen, and he knows that he cannot miss the podium
again if he wants to keep on fighting for the Title. Herlings was
second in Uddevalla last year, so he might be able to obtain his fourth
overall victory of the season this weekend in Sweden.


Third in the MX2 point standings is CLS Monster Energy Kawasaki Pro
Circuit’s Searle, who is looking forward to obtaining the second overall
victory of the season and cut some distance from his main rivals,
Roczen and Herlings. In the first heat of the Spanish GP, Searle was
able to fight against Roczen for the lead, but he is still missing some
speed to beat the German.


Monster Energy Yamaha’s Paulin has been on the podium since the GP of
Brazil, but the French rider has not been able to fight for the first
step of the rostrum. Gautier was third overall last year in Uddevalla,
so he is confident to obtain a good result this weekend in the Swedish
track.

Bike-it Cosworth Wild Wolf Yamaha’s Osborne struggled a
lot two weeks ago in La Bañeza, but he is confident to repeat a podium
finish this weekend in Uddevalla and get closer to the top three leading
riders.


Jeremy Van Horebeek and Valentin Teillet will take part in the Swedish
GP, as they are fully fit again after their shoulder injuries suffered
at the beginning of the season.

EMX125
The
second round of the UEM EMX125 series, which counts with 71 entered
riders, will take place this weekend in Uddevalla. Simone Zecchina
dominated the opening round in Sevlievo, Bulgaria, and after his
learning experience in the MX2 class in the last three Grand Prix, he is
determined to keep the red plate on his Suzuki machine.


His compatriot Samuele Bernardini won the second race in Bulgaria, so it
is time for him to take revenge and ride for the overall victory this
weekend in Sweden. Third in the championship is Jeremy Seewer, who
finished 3-4 in Bulgaria.


There is a lot of talent among this young riders and they will all have
to give their best this weekend if they want to keep their position in
the UEM EMX125 championship, as they all raced very close during the
first round of the series.
