MAGGIORA (Italy) 3 July 2021 – The first day of racing here in Maggiora has concluded with the opening round of the EMX Open, as well as round two of the EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing championship.

Haakon Osterhagen of Fantic Factory Racing Team Maddii continued his winning streak to secure his first 1-1 in the EMX championship, meanwhile Filippo Zonta celebrated a victory on home soil in the same fashion, winning both races.

In the EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing category it was Fantic Factory Racing Team Maddii’s Haakon Osterhagen who continued his winning streak, adding two more race wins to his scorecard as he dominated the class once again. Joining him on the podium was Italian Valerio Lata of MRT Racing Team KTM and Kay Karssemakers of Husqvarna SKS Racing.

In the opening race it was ASA United GasGas rider Bobby Bruce who jumped into an early, though his time in first place was cut short as he made a mistake and fell down to last. Scott Smulders of No Fear/Jumbo BT Racing was the race leader for a lap, though by lap 3 Osterhagen was back in the driving seat as he led the way.

Smulders then lost out to Sacha Coenen of 9MM Energy Drink BUD Racing and Lata, with the pair going through into second and third, and then it was game on as Coenen and Lata were part of an intense battle for second place. The fight carried on for four laps, with Lata keeping Coenen extremely close, before making a pass stick on lap 9.

Towards the latter stages of the race Osterhagen had extended his lead to 10.332 seconds, as Lata and Coenen remained 2^nd and 3^rd, until Coenen crashed out with just 3 laps to go. Osterhagen was the race winner, with Lata second and Karssemakers third after making his way through the field from 7^th place.

In the second race, it was Lata who grabbed the holeshot, followed by Osterhagen, Sacha Coenen and Bruce. Osterhagen was looking impatient as he worked hard to find a way past Lata, which he did very quickly as he led the race from lap 2.

Coenen was next to go through on Lata, with the young Belgian pushing hard to keep Osterhagen in his sights, though much like in race 1, the Kawasaki rider crashed once more on lap 7, though was able to recover and finish the race in P8.

The remainder of the second race saw Osterhagen lead Lata, Bruce, Andrea Rossi and Karssemakers who worked his way up to 5^th.

Osterhagen made it a perfect day to go 1-1, while Lata placed P2 and Bruce was able to have a good race to take a solid P3.

In terms of the podium, it was Osterhagen who took to the top step of the podium, with Lata finishing second and Karssemakers getting shot at the podium in third. Fantic’s Osterhagen continues to lead the championship with 95 points, while Lata and Karssemakers move to second and third in the standings.

Haakon Osterhagen: “Yes it’s been super racing. I feel really satisfied about my riding and also about the bike, I’m super happy to get the 1-1 and make it happen. In the future this is our goal, and we’ll always work to get those results”.

Valerio Lata: “Yes it was a good day and nice to finish on the podium. I really enjoyed riding here because the track was also good. Thank you to my team and those who support me”

Kay Karssemakers: “First of all I’m happy about the result, the first race was good for me but in the second I had a small crash, and I wasn’t able to reach the results I wanted because I had to fight for 5th place. Finally, I’m super happy because is my first podium and I want to thank my team for the great support the gave me this weekend”.

In the EMX Open class it was Filippo Zonta who started the championship with a perfect score of 1-1 to take the round victory on home soil. Joining him on the podium was Frenchman Nicolas Dercourt of Honda SR Motoblouz who placed second with Davide De Bortoli third overall.

In race one, it was Dercourt who grabbed an early lead and was followed by De Bortoli, Zonta and Adrien Escoffier of Honda SR Motoblouz. De Bortoli was keen to get the win and pushed Dercourt from early on in the race, as less than a second separated the two.

De Bortoli moved into the lead on lap 3, before making a mistake on lap 5, which pushed him down to 7^th. With Dercourt back in the driving seat, Zonta was the next rider to catch up to the race leader as he put on a charge.

By lap 7, Zonta was the new race leader, while Micha-Boy De Waal of No\Fear Jumbo BT Racing Team and Escoffier had a big one, with Escoffier not finishing the race, whereas De Waal was able to push on and finish the race in 17^th position.

As Zonta and Dercourt pulled a safe gap to the rest of the field, a nice battle was forming between Alessandro D’Angelo and Simone Croci with the pair fighting hard for third. Eventually Croci was able to find a way through as he upped his pace and even set the fastest lap of the race.

In the end Zonta was the race winner, with Dercourt second and Croci third.

In race two it was Jeff Oxelmark of JWR Honda Racing who was the early race leader, with Escoffier and Matej Jaros just behind. Escoffier was quick to start applying the pressure and by the second lap was leading the race.

Race 1 winner, Zonta was further down the field in 6^th, though by the third lap was already up in the top three.

Escoffier led until lap 5, as Dercourt took the lead away. Zonta was also not looking to waste any time as he squeezed past the number #137 of Escoffier, on the same lap. Then it was a three-rider race as Dercourt, Zonta and Escoffier kept things close.

By lap 8 Zonta was out in front once again, as De Bortoli closed in on Dercourt. The pair fought for a few more laps before the Italian was able to pass the Frenchman and even close back in on the race leader.

In the end it was Zonta with the race win, De Bortoli second and Dercourt third. The podium was quite similar with Zonta occupying the top step of the podium and taking the red plate, while Dercourt placed second and De Bortoli third.

Filippo Zonta: “It feels great to be there, the first race was perfect while in the second one I started really good as well but in the first corner I almost crashed. Anyway, I managed to stay on the bike and get the concentration back to the race, I managed to gain back the lead and win also this race. I’m super happy because last period has been really hard for me, I didn’t give up and I continued to work really hard day by day and after such a big effort everybody can see the results”

Nicolas Dercourt: “The first race I had a really good start while in the second I wasn’t able to start as I wanted, it took me a couple of laps to be back. At the end I’m quite happy about the result because I decided to come to the race only Wednesday”.

Davide De Bortoli: “Today it was a solid day for me, I’m super happy to be on the podium because this means that my speed is really good; now I hope to be better in the next races and step on the top of the podium”.

MATTERLEY BASIN (Great Britain) 26 June 2021 – The EMX250 and EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing opening rounds have concluded in Matterley Basin, with Fantic Factory Team Maddii riders Nicholas Lapucci and Haakon Osterhagen dominating the field with overall victories.

It has been the perfect day for racing with great weather and awesome British crowds who turned out to support the EMX riders as they kicked off round 1 of 2021.

In the EMX250 class it was Nicholas Lapucci of Fantic Factory Team Maddii who conquered the rest of the field, taking two race wins to secure the top spot on the podium as well as the championship lead. Joining him on the podium was the Norwegian, Kevin Horgmo of SM Action Racing Team YUASA Battery who finished second overall thanks to two solid heats going 3-2. Occupying the third spot was Cornelius Toendel from Riley Racing who celebrated a first podium finish in EMX.

In the opening EMX250 race, Lapucci wasted no time to jump into an early lead with Maxime Grau of Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing, Toendel and Liam Everts of KTM Liamski just behind.

Everts then came under pressure from Hakon Fredriksen of 9MM Energy Drink BUD Racing Kawasaki and then Horgmo, before dropping a couple of more positions to 6^th and then crashing out of the top 10 a few laps later. He finished the race in 12^th.

Toendel then squeezed down the inside of Grau to take second with Frenchman, then coming under more pressure as Fredriksen and Horgmo went through as well, dropping him down to 5^th.
Towards the end of the race all eyes were on Fredriksen and Horgmo, with the pair having an incredibly close battle for third, swapping positions on several occasions though Horgmo was able to hold on in the end to secure a top 3 finish.

Lapucci was the winner in race 1 with Toendel 2^nd and Horgmo 3^rd.

In the second race, it was Lorenzo Corti of S11 Motorsport DianaMx who got a great start, though not wasting any time once again was Lapucci who quickly jumped into P1. Fredriksen got around Corti next, with Horgmo doing the same not long after.

Horgmo then went after Fredriksen and was able to pass him much easier than in race one to move into second and it was game on as the Norwegian chased down the race leader.

Setting fast lap after fast lap, Horgmo edged closer to Lapucci, though couldn’t quite get close enough to attempt a pass and therefore settled for P2, as Lapucci took the win, with Emil Weckman of Honda Racing Assomotor Team securing a top 3 finish behind the pair.

Nicholas Lapucci: “It’s just crazy to start the season like this. We knew we had the speed but it’s always a surprise to get a result like this so I’m really happy and I’m looking forward to the next races. Today was just a perfect day to start well in time practice and then we kept going with the races, I just took the right gap to bring it back in both races. I just want to say thank you to the whole Fantic Factory Team Maddii, Fantic, the people at home, my family, sponsors and everybody who supports me”.

Kevin Horgmo: “I had two bad starts, so that made the day a little bit difficult, but I felt quite good from the beginning from the practice. I knew I was fast on the track, I just needed to get two good starts but unfortunately was mid-pack or top ten maybe, so in the second race I pushed really hard to stay with Nicholas Lapucci, I got to two seconds behind him but in the end my back brake failed on me, so I just rode smooth and kept it on two wheels to finish second overall”.

Cornelius Toendel: “I am very happy about finishing on the podium today. It is my first podium finish in EMX ever so I’m really happy with that and just looking forward to the next races and keep the ball rolling”.

In the EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing category it was another win for Fantic Factory Team Maddii as Haakon Osterhagen’s 1-3 result in the races put him on the top spot of the podium. Ferruccio Zanchi of Yamaha Europe EMX125 MJC finished second overall while Brit Bobby Bruce of ASA United GasGas made the home crowd proud with a third-place finish.

As the gate dropped for race 1 it was Andrea Viano who got a great start, with Osterhagen not far behind as well as Sacha Coenen of 9MM Energy Drink BUD Racing Kawasaki and Zanchi.

It only took a lap or so for Osterhagen to get into the lead and he was quick to extend his gap to the rider in second who was Zanchi, as Viano dropped to third. Bruce then went after 5^th as he searched for top positions.

With 5 minutes left on the clock Coenen got himself into second, with Bruce making his way up to 3^rd followed by Zanchi and Marc-Antoine Rossi of Tech 32.

In the end it was Osterhagen with the win, as Rossi inherited P2 due to a penalty that was handed out to Bruce which dropped him 3 positions, as a result of leaving the track with gaining advantage. Sacha Coenen finished the race 3^rd.

In race two Osterhagen led the way early doors once again, though shortly after the Fantic rider made a costly mistake which saw him crash and drop down the order, though not too far as he was able to recover vital positions quickly.

It was then Zanchi who led the rest of the field as he fended off the pressure from Bruce who was fighting hard to get into P1. Bruce made a brief appearance in the lead but didn’t quite manage to hold onto it.  

The second EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing heat was cut short due to a red flag incident involving Ferruccio Zanchi and Kay Karssemakers. The Italian rider was taken to the medical centre for observation, though despite having an unfortunate incident was counted as the race winner as under a red flag incident the results are taken from the previous lap, which at the time Zanchi had led. Therefore, the race win went to Zanchi with Bruce in P2 and Osterhagen P3.

Haakon Osterhagen: “I’m feeling pretty good. I absolutely loved the track and felt quite confident coming into this race weekend. I just did my own thing and tried to not to think too much and let the bike do the work. The first race I had a bad start, but I got quickly to the front and took the win. The second race I almost had the holeshot but something happened with the bike, and I also made a mistake which cost me a little bit but I pushed really hard in the laps and got up to first place. But unfortunately, a rider crashed so it was a weird one but I’m still happy to take the overall”.

Much like the rest of the teams, SIXTYTWO Motorsport crew have been busy with their winter preparations for the EMX125 and EMX250 Championships, in the Italian island of Sardinia.

Sardinia is a popular destination among the paddock for winter preparation, offering plenty of good motocross circuits with different type of terrain, along with beautiful weather conditions, perfect for cycling and running.

Jaka Peklaj (EMX125) is adapting well to the bigger bike, Husqvarna TC125. He did some suspension testing to adjust the bike to his riding style as well as engine test - tuned by RR racing. With the team he is putting hours in the sand to improve his sand skills and get some important experience before the start of the season.

"It is the first time for me to have a preparation like this. I like the new bike as I can play more on the tracks, but still I want to improve myself on sandy compound tracks. We are in no rush as my season starts in August, so I will work hard to be prepared for my first EMX125 race"

Filip Olsson (EMX250) continues where he left off last year before his injury. All the team is very pleased with his performance on and off the bike.

"I think we found a good balance between hard and smart training. I have a lot of fun every time I go riding. I didn't really expect to be in such a good shape as I'm now after a long break due to my injury. So, I'm looking forward to being behind the gate soon”.

Klemen Gercar (Team Manager) "I can say that all looks very positive after a month of winter preparations as all the team is very motivated and we work hard, but at the same time we have a lot of fun.

To start 2021 with a bang WZ Racing team owner and manager Waldemar Zichanowisch, has released his rider line-up for the upcoming season, which means a new challenge for the team as well.

Cato Nickel will represent the team in the EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing category, as he stays with the German team. The 16 years old has already showed his pace and ability to be a front runner in 2020 and in 2021 could be one of the favourites in the fight for the title.

A new challenge awaits Rasmus Pedersen. The young Dane will step up to EMX250 for his rookie season on a 250 KTM.

Rasmus Pedersen: “I’m definitely looking forward to be riding the 250 and to put in some work. It’s going to be hard for sure as it’s my rookie year. But I will give it my best and just going to keep working and improving throughout the season. The goal is to try and be consistent every race and I definitely want to be in the top 10 or even top 5”.

Rasmus is strengthened by his new teammate Mike Gwerder in the EMX250. The Swiss is coming back from a tough injury and is looking forward to work with WZ Racing.

Mike Gwerder: “After my femur injury I want to ride as good as possible. My goal is to be one of the frontrunners! I think, it’s going to be a good year and will be fun to work with WZ Racing”.

Bastian Bøgh Damm can also look forward to a new challenge in 2021, because his World Championship dream will come true. The 19-year-old is upping his game with the German KTM team by his side and is going to ride the MX2 FIM Motocross World Championship.

Lion Florian, a German talent, is also taking the risk of the MX2 World Championship and is fulfilling his childhood dream.

Lion Florian: “I’m really looking forward to ride the MX2 class, even if it means a big step for me. 2021 will be the decisive year for me and I want to take the opportunity. I’m definitely aiming for the top ten”.

After the outstanding return to motocross competitions, entrusted to the team managed by Corrado Maddii, which led the Fantic XX125 to win the European EMX125 Championship title with Andrea Bonacorsi, Fantic has increased its commitment for the 2021 motocross season.

The Fantic Factory Team Maddii is born, with Corrado Maddii and his son Marco joining forces to benefit from their incredibly strong background. It is Corrado Maddii’s enviable motocross experience, which led him to clinch countless victories through the years, both as a rider and team manager, through scouting and accompanying young guns and turning them into champions.

Now united with his son Marco, former race and title-winner rider and team manager (the Maddii team has won 5 World Championships, 6 European titles, and over 30 Italian titles), they go hunting for new ambitious goals together with Fantic.

In 2021, the Fantic Factory Team Maddii will attend the European EMX 125 with title hopes with two young talents riding the Fantic XX125, as well as the European EMX 250 with another two riders lining-up with the new Fantic XX250, in addition to the main Italian races and championships.
