Cairoli storms back to victory in Sweden





UDDEVALLA (SWEDEN), 4
July 2010 – MX1 Championship leader Antonio Cairoli marked his comeback
to victory in Sweden courtesy of two moto wins right before the start
of the FIM Motocross World Championship’s summer break. In the MX2 class
instead the event marked Steven Frossard’s maiden victory after a
battle with Ken Roczen in both heats.

Clement Desalle took two
second places for second overall ahead of team mate Steve
Ramon, putting together two solid moto’s and finishing ahead of Evgeny
Bobryshev.

In the MX2 class Jeffrey Herlings took second on the
podium while Gautier Paulin completed the top three at his first podium
appearance of 2010. Roczen instead won the final heat but a technical
problem ruled him out of heat one when he was chasing Frossard for
first.

In the EMX 125 class Jordi Tixier came back to victory and
reinforced his Championship lead. The Swedish podium was completed by
Stefan Olsen and Samuele Bernardini.
 
MX1
Taking victory
number four of 2010, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing MX1’s Cairoli walked
away from Sweden with an extended Championship lead. The Italian, who
won both heats, is now 67 points ahead of Desalle whom he passed for the
lead of moto two after having dominated the opening moto.

The
Rockstar Teka Suzuki World MX1 Team
completed the overall podium and now looks forward to their home Grand
Prix in Lommel, Belgium, coming up next on the August 1 weekend.

Desalle
was second overall and collected his fifth consecutive podium. The
winner of the last GP in Latvia recovered to second in the opening moto
and was again second in the final moto, which he was leading until a
hard charging Cairoli moved past him and pulled away.

Ramon
mounted on the third step of the podium after a solid final moto. The
Belgian, who missed this GP last year due to a neck injury, was close to
Desalle towards the end of the heat but decided to settle for an
eventual safe third. In moto one instead Ramon was fourth.

Once
again CAS Honda’s Bobryshev missed his first podium by a bunch of
points. The Russian already came close to the podium in Latvia and today
took another fourth overall after he made a mistake in the final moto,
when he tried to move past Desalle for second. He
was an eventual fourth in the second moto and fifth in the first one.

Yamaha
Monster Energy Motocross’ Philippaerts completed the top five. After a
good third place in the opening moto, the Italian had a bad start to
moto two and struggled to recover.

Nagl was sixth ahead of Boog
while Söderström was the best placed home rider with 14th overall.
Boissiere was 15th in the standings but a head concussion following a
second moto crash ruled him out of the final heat.

17th was
Guarneri who crashed in both moto’s after taking good starts.

MX2
Kawasaki
CLS’s Frossard interrupted KTM’s winning streak in the MX2 class as he
took his first ever Grand Prix victory at Uddevalla. The French made up
for a disappointing qualifying heat yesterday –he tangled with Roczen at
the opening lap and crashed- with two solid performances today.
Frossard moved past Simpson and Herlings in heat one to lead until the
chequered flag while he let Roczen by in the second moto and took
second. The German troubled Frossard also in the
opening heat, making mistakes but always coming back to the Frenchman’s
tail; eventually a mechanical problem ruled him out with just two laps
to go. Now the French has equalled runner up Roczen in the Championship
standings with a total of 355 points.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing
MX2’s Herlings was a positive second on the podium in Uddevalla, where
he had never raced a Grand Prix before. The Dutch, who won in Kegums
last weekend, was handed second by Roczen in the opening moto and
rounded off the day with a fourth place in the final moto.

With
Roczen having pulled away from runner up Frossard, the second moto was
added drama by Paulin’s recovery in the final laps. The French worked
his way to the first 2010 podium by passing both Musquin and Herlings in
the final six laps. Combining a third place in moto two and a fifth in
moto one, the French earned the overall podium.  

After taking
third in the opening moto,
Kawasaki CLS’ Van Horebeek was troubled by pain to his neck due to last
weekend’s injury. The Belgian could do no better than sixth in the
second moto and dropped down to fourth overall.

Championship
leader Musquin of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing MX2 was a bitter fifth
overall, combining a fourth and a fifth place in the heats. Musquin
struggled with bad starts but his main rival in the Championship Roczen
still scored lass points than him due to his dnf in moto one.

American
Leib took his best result of the season with ninth overall right ahead
of Simpson. The British was leading race one when he was passed by
Frossard and crashed.

Kullas took 11th leading a Yamaha trio
completed by Lupino and Charlier, with the latter being disappointed
with his riding after he almost won yesterday’s qualifying.

A
broken rear wheel hampered Teillet’s ambitions of winning race two,
which he started in the top three but ended with a
dnf.

A crash at the opening lap and a broken exhaust also
spelled an early end to Tonus’ last moto.
