MX1


Rockstar Energy Suzuki World MX1’s Clement Desalle got the perfect
weekend in Glen Helen. After winning the qualifying race yesterday,
Clement took the lead of both heats right at the very beginning and
kept it until the end. The Belgian rider is very pleased to get the red
plate back and he is now six points ahead of Max Nagl.


Red Bull Teka KTM Factory Racing MX1’s Max Nagl succeeded in being on
the podium, but it was not an easy weekend for the German. Nagl did not
make very good starts this weekend and had to fight really hard from
the back.


Third was Honda World Motocross’ Evgeny Bobryshev thanks to his sixth
and third result. It was the maiden podium for the Russian and it is
definitely a good boost for his self-confidence. Bobryshev was not that
good on the first race, but his good start in the second one and his
consistency made him be at the top three.


Kevin Strijbos from Delta Suzuki team got a solid fourth position after
his 4-5 result. The Belgian took the holeshot of the second heat and he
missed the podium for only one point.


Red Bull Teka KTM Factory racing MX1’s Antonio Cairoli completed the
top five in Glen Helen. The Italian was second in the first race, but
he was not that fortunate in the second one, as he was involved in a
crash with Steven Frossard at the very beginning of the race. The
Italian is now third in the Championship, 24 points behind the leader
Clement Desalle.


Monster Energy Yamaha’s David Philippaerts did not have very good
starts in both heats, especially in the second one where he had to
start from the 15th position. Philippaerts was finally sixth and he is
now fifth in the point standings.


Rui Gonçalves suffered some stomach problems this weekend and he could
not give his 100%. However, after his 12th position in race two,
Gonçalves achieved a solid fourth place behind his teammate Evgeny
Bobryshev.


Eighth was Jonathan Barragán, who was also not feeling very good this
weekend due to some asthma problems. Ninth was Anthony Boissiere, who
did an excellent first race taking the holeshot and finishing seventh.
However, Boissiere did not have a good start in the second heat and he
could only be 12th.


Home rider Christian Craig was the best US rider in the MX1 class after finishing tenth overall.


Steven Frossard was not fortunate at all this weekend; firstly he
crashed during the last lap of race one when he was seventh and he then
crashed with Antonio Cairoli at the opening lap of race two and he
could only be 23rd. Frossard lost the leadership of the Championship
and he is now fourth 32 points away from current leader Desalle.


Steve Ramon and Ken De Dycker could not finish race one and they
finished 13th and 22nd respectively. Ramon was seventh in the second
race, but De Dycker round out of fuel just some metres before the
finish line and he was just 20th.

MX2


Red Bull Teka KTM Factory Racing MX2’s Ken Roczen obtained his second
overall victory of the season and he is now leading the Championship
with 14 points advantage over his teammate Jeffrey Herlings. Roczen
injured two fingers of his left hand during yesterday’s qualifying
race, but that was not a problem for the German to dominate the Grand
Prix.


His teammate Jeffrey Herlings rode very close to Ken Roczen in both
heats, but he is still missing some speed. The winner of the Dutch GP
confessed that he needs to train harder on his starts and his speed to
be able to beat his teammate Ken Roczen.


The third overall position was for CLS Monster Energy Kawasaki Pro
Circuit’s Tommy Searle, who finished tight in points with his teammate
Max Anstie. Searle crashed on the first lap of race one and he then
made a mistake with the tear off and he struggled the whole heat as he
had to take off his goggles. He was very disappointed with his fifth
position in race one, but he then succeeded in being third in the
second one and finished on the podium.


His teammate Max Anstie ended third in the first race, after starting
from the 20th position, but a mistake during the last laps of race two
while he was fourth made him lose the third overall position and he
finished fourth overall.


However, Anstie proved that he can be racing for the top three places
and he is determined to race for his maiden GP podium next weekend in
Brazil.


Home rider Zach Osborne from Bike-it Cosworth Wild Wolf Yamaha team
completed the top five of the MX2 class. It was a very tough weekend
for the American; on Saturday he crashed during the qualifying race and
he injured his wrist and today he got stuck on Marvin Musquin, who had
crashed at the second corner of race one. In spite of being fifth,


Zach Osborne was the best American classified rider, so he won the Moates Cup for second year in a row.

The Finnish rider Harri Kullas did an excellent first race and he
managed to finish fourth. However, he did not have a very good start at
the second race and he had to catch up from an initial 21st position.
Kullas finished eleventh and he got a solid sixth overall position.


His teammate Christophe Charlier finished seventh overall, followed by
his compatriot Nicolas Aubin from KTM HDI MX Team. Ninth was Belgian
Joel Roelants and his teammate Jordi Tixier completed the top ten.


Marvin Musquin was expecting to race again against his teammate Ken
Roczen, but unfortunately he crashed in the second corner of the first
race and he could only finish 19th. In the second race, Musquin started
from the seventh position and he was able to end sixth. Marvin Musquin
left the Monster Energy GP of the USA with an overall eleventh
position.


Gautier Paulin had some problems with his Yamaha machine and he was
only 13th overall. 14th was Arnaud Tonus, who finished seventh in the
first heat but he was out of the second one after a big crash right
after the start.
