TONY CAIROLI CLOSER THAN EVER TO THE 2011 CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE

Sidi Sport again a major player in the Czech Republic GP

Maser (TV), 08 August, 2011 - Tony Cairoli would like nothing better than to win all the time and
put on a show for his fans, but this time the super-champion from the Sidi Sport stables  ran an intelligent race and didn’t take
any risks as he focused specifically on the championship rankings. Great
champions are also made of this.

On Sunday, August 7^th, on the Loket circuit in the Czech Republic Grand Prix, Cairoli won
race1 and then settled for second place in the final classification for the
Grand Prix won by his direct rival,

Clement Desalle. Little does it matter, because now, with just three
races to wrap up the World Title, Cairoli leads the MX1 motocross standings with
no less than a 48-point advantage over Belgium’s Desalle.

Sidi Sport completed a day of celebration with Portuguese Rui Goncalves, third both in race1 and
race2, which carried him to third place on the final podium for the Grand Prix;
there was also Estonia’s Tanel Leok, who came in second in
race2.

When Cairoli and the other stars from the Sidi Sport stables are
fighting it out in the mud and shining on the podium, they can always count on
their Sidi Crossfire boots, the
number one footwear in the world of motocross.

Cairoli just keeps adding record numbers to his portfolio, which
already boasts four championship titles: two in MX2 (2005 and 2007) and two in
MX1 (2009-2010). He’s already obtained 10 podiums in this season alone (4
victories, 5 second places and 1 third place). He’s won a total of 87 heats and
41 Grand Prix races in his career (24 in MX2 and 17 in MX1), which makes
Cairoli the fourth most victorious rider of all time, a category led by another
first class ace from the Sidi Sport stables, motocross legend Stefan Everts.
