DARDON-GUEUGNON
(FRANCE), 22 August
2010 – Youth
riders from 34 different nations gave a proper Motocross racing display
during six exhilarating races of the FIM World Junior Championship at the
Dardon-Gueugnon circuit in France. Not even the threat of thunderstorms and
some very nasty winds kept away the 5000 spectators from watching these
talented youngsters fighting for their dream of becoming the future Roczens
and Herlings of the world Motocross scene.
The 2010
Junior World Champions are American Jake Pinhancos (65cc), Henry Jacobi
from Germany (85cc) and French rider Jordi Tixier (125cc).
125 cc top three
65cc
The 65cc
class was won by Jake Pinhancos making his way to victory after an exciting
battle with saturday’s qualifying session fastest junior, Taiwanese
Brian Hsu. The American showed he was the rider to beat right from the
start putting up two moto wins: “It was really difficult to hold
Brian but he had some bad luck on the last moto and that can happen to
anybody. The track was really rough; I don’t have such hard-pack
tracks at home so I had a hard time getting around it. I’d like to
thank the people who set up this race, I want to come back sometime”
said Pinhancos. Third place rider was Wilson Todd from Australia with two
consistent outings in third and fourth.
85cc
German
rider Henry Jacobi won the 85cc class with a victory on the first moto and
a third place on the second. Slovenian Tim Gajser, winner of the second
moto finished two points short, right behind Jacobi who put up a solid ride
in his first race of the day. On the second one the young German had some
work to do: “I was in eighth after the start and had to make my way
through the field only able to finish in third but was enough to get the
overall. I want to thank my parents and my sister for helping me so much to
get here”, said Jacobi. Fellow country young rider Stefan Ekerold was
third overall even with a bad start on the second moto which he finished in
twelfth position.125cc
Jordi
Tixier is surely a happy kid as he’s getting things on the double.
The European 125 Champion can now add to his trophies the Junior 125 World
Champion title. Although he had great opposition from American Joey Savatgy
and Austrian Pascal Rauchenecker, the French sensation ran both motos with
the level of competence the fans were waiting for: “things
weren’t easy as it looked because Savatgy is a pretty good rider
although after having two good starts and finding better lines on the
second race I managed to win both motos. I hope to ride on the MX2
Championship next year and get some good results to be able to thank again
the support I’ve been having from my family and fans”, said
Tixier.
USA got
on the top step for the Nations classification. France was second and 2009
winner Australia had to set for third position this year.
