The 23 year old has been in outstanding form in his rookie term in the premier class and in his first season with the YZ450FM. The Frenchman gained his maiden podium finish in Spain for the sixth round of the nine held so far and then claimed victory in France and last weekend’s rain-hit Italian fixture. His explosive and impressive speed has pulled ‘461’ up to third place in the MXGP standings.
Febvre graduated from the MX2 class in 2014 having taken third position in the championship and celebrating his first Grand Prix victory at Trindade in Brazil. The previous season he walked a Grand Prix podium for the first time and only three years before that was European Champion. His rise has been quick and emphatic and Romain has been a fine ambassador for the Italian works crew and the Yamaha brand since coming into the set-up during the winter.
“I liked how everybody was very close and got on well; it was like I was coming into a family,” Romain said. “The team cannot do enough for the riders and they always want to improve. Even when I came off the track and did the TV interview last weekend we were already talking about parts where we can get better again. Of course I’m happy to stay with Yamaha. They believed in me last year to sign a young rider from MX2 and for sure we have to be pleased with how everything has gone so far. I learn quickly and I can adapt well and I think this has helped.”
“Romain came into our factory team very easily and effectively and his ability and work has really been showing in the last Grands Prix,” commented Yamaha Motor Europe MX Manager Erik Eggens. “He has been an excellent addition to the Yamaha structure and our racing family and it is fantastic that we will be together for more time.”
Yes, Steve, now it has been officially unofficially stamped......
Pit Row
and how did you know about my name?
Desalle from Rockstar Suzuki to Monster Energy Kawasaki, alongside with Tixier who moves to MXGP
Van Horebeek from Yamaha Factory to Rockstar Suzuki
Guillod stays with Standing Construct Yamaha, but moves to MXGP.
Anstie from Dixon Kawasaki to Wilvo Husqvarna
None of these are official, just paddock talk.
ps, Could someone give me any info on de-Dycker & Waters?
No idea about Keeno.
Keeno will depend on whether Herlings gets moved up, and how serious his shoulder injury turns out to be. And if the cheque clears.
He's talking to teams but nothing final yet.
Everybody is waiting for Desalle....
I think Van Horebeek could go really well on the Suzuki.
Herlings has to move up though, KTM keeping him down has held back his progress. Combined with all his injuries, those guys are catching up and getting faster every year because they are using him as the bar. And he is making mistakes because he isn't used to racing people and doesn't want the guys he used to smoke beat him.
If he had moved to MXGP last year with the confidence and speed at the time it would have been pretty special. Plus he would have learnt to race people and wouldn't be so hard on himself if he got beat by Cairoli etc. He would have been allowed to lose.
Post a reply to: No Villopoto '16, Herlings stays MX2, Desalle to KRT and Everts to HRC?
