4 July 2010, Uddevalla (Sweden) – Pirelli has literally
dominated the MX1 Grand Prix of Sweden by filling the
first six places of the final classification and earning victory with Antonio
Cairoli ahead of Suzuki riders Clement Desalle and Steve
Ramon. The Scorpion MX also shone in MX2 with Jeffrey
Herlings’ second position and the third place of Gautier Paulin,
while Frenchman Jordi Tixier succeeded in the 125cc European
two-stroke series for his fourth shut-out in the five rounds contested
so far.

For the three previous races Antonio Cairoli had played a careful
strategy of protecting his position as world championship leader but in
Sweden the works KTM rider decided to try a different mindset and duly
swept both motos for his second double this season. After having elected
to equip his factory 350-SXF with Scorpion MidSoft 32,
and using a 120/90 on the rear for the first time, the rapid Sicilian
led from start to finish in the first moto. He held a hefty advantage
over other Pirelli riders Desalle, Philippaerts, Ramon,
Bobryschev and Nagl finishing in that order respectively
all using Scorpion MidSoft 32 front and rear. In the
second race Cairoli hunted down and overtook leader Desalle, who
had no reply to the world champion’s pace around Uddevalla. The Belgian
had to be content with second place on the podium ahead of team-mate Ramon
with Bobryshev,
Philippaerts and Nagl following in the GP ranking.

MX2 was again a showcase for the talent of fifteen year old Jeffrey
Herlings who seven days after his second win of the season in
Latvia took second place overall at the Grand Prix of Sweden behind
Steve Frossard. In the race the factory KTM rider used Scorpion MidSoft
32 front and rear, and enjoyed a decent tussle with team-mate Marvin
Musquin, who due to indifferent starts and a lacklustre rhythm
could place no higher than 5th overall. Herlings was able to consolidate
his 4th place in the championship standings as a result of his second
podium in a row. The third step went to official Yamaha Monster Energy
representative Gautier Paulin for the first time this season
after his unfortunate leg-break one week before the first GP. Also
benefitting from Scorpion MidSoft 32 front and rear were Joel
Roelants (6th), Zach Osborne (7th), Shaun Simpson
(10th), Harri Kullas (11th),
Alex Lupino (12th) and Christophe Charlier (13th).
