Antonio Cairoli - The 2011 FIM MX1 World Champion

GAILDORF
(Germany), 4 September 2011 – It is a fact that Antonio Cairoli has
already written his name in the History of the sport, but season after
season his achievements take him closer to the top riders of All Times.
The Italian has obtained his third FIM MX1 World Title in a row, the
second one on the revolutionary 350cc KTM machine, and he sums up to
five FIM Motocross World Titles – as many as Legends Roger De Coster,
Eric Geboers, Georges Jobe and Joel Smets.

Joel
Robert has just one more World Title than Cairoli and the Italian has
many possibilities to reach Stefan Everts 10 World Titles record if he
keeps on riding like he has done so far.


In 2010, the 25 year old from Patti handed KTM the FIM MX1 World Title
on the new 350cc machine in his first year with the orange squad, and
Cairoli is very satisfied with this year’s World Title, as it is a
confirmation of the potential of the bike and of course the incredible
talent he has when racing motocross. However, this 2011 season has been
very tough for the Sicilian, as things did not started as he expected
and struggled a lot to be fully fit and competitive against Desalle.


In fact, Cairoli has admitted today during the press conference that he
would not highlight any specific moment of this 2011, but he would mark
the USGP and the Grand Prix of Brazil as the turning points of the
season. From then onwards, he started feeling better and better every
weekend, the results started to arrive and he could stop Clement Desalle
to win the MX1 Title.


Antonio Cairoli will never forget the hard pack track of Gaildorf, but
for all the members of the Red Bull Teka KTM Factory Racing team the
German track of Gaildorf was already present in the history of the
squad, as it was there when the first orange KTM won a World Title back
in 1996 after Mr. Stefan Pierer had taken over the company in 1994.
Today it will be another unforgettable moment for KTM, as Antonio
Cairoli and Ken Roczen handed the two FIM World Titles on the same day
in the old school motocross track of Gaildorf.
