The fourth round of the FIM Motocross World Championship belonged to
Monster Energy Yamaha and David Philippaerts as the Italian emerged
victorious from two hugely entertaining motos at a sweltering and
packed Indaiatuba. The Grand Prix of Brazil saw DP19 take his works
YZ450FM to second and first positions to spray overall winners
champagne for the first time since the 2010 French Grand Prix.
26,000 spectators filled the grandstands
around the excellent racing facility an hour north of Sao Paolo and
steamy weather graced the entire weekend as the Grand Prix community
faced their second fly-away event in succession. The course was
unrelenting in a layout of jumps and corners and was short and compact.
On Saturday the factory Yamahas
formation-flew as Frossard led the Qualification Heat from Philippaerts
before the Italian took control at the mid-way point of the sprint and
glided to his first pole position since the season-closing Italian
Grand Prix last year.
