Matterley Basin

MATTERLEY BASIN (Great Britain) 23 September 2023 – The beautiful track of Matterley Basin hosted the last RAM Qualifying Races of the season on Saturday for the MXGP of Great Britain. 

One of the riders’ favourite tracks gave them a lot to work for as it challenges everyone across the board with its high speed and changes of rhythm that proved to offer some exciting battles. 

In MXGP, the newly MXGP World Champion Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado celebrated his title with his 11th pole position of the season in front of the ever-consistent Kawasaki Racing Team’s Romain Febvre. Rounding the top three was Team HRC's Tim Gajser. 

In MX2, the outstanding Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Simon Laengenfelder shined again with his 5th RAM Qualifying Race win of the season on what seems to be a successful track for him as he won his first MX2 Grand Prix of his career last season. The new MX2 World Champion Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Andrea Adamo showed up with a 2nd place in front of Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 Team’s Jago Geerts.

In EMX250, Team VRT KTM Factory Juniors’ Marc-Antoine Rossi managed to come out victorious in the first race while in EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing, the title was decided with an immense performance from MJC Yamaha Official EMX125’s Janis Reisulis who controlled the race early to win it comfortably and with it secured his first EMX125 European Title before jumping to EMX250. Reisulis who won five rounds this season, showed a lot of talent and power this season. 

The day was closed by a cool Paddock Show that saw the MXGP and MX2 World Champions, Jorge Prado and Andrea Adamo being introduced to the public along with the MX2 RAM Qualifying Race winner Simon Laengenfelder. The other guests present were the EMX250 European Champion Hutten Metaal Yamaha Racing Team’s Andrea Bonacorsi and EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing European Champion Janis Reisulis. The home heroes MRT Racing Team Beta’s Ben Watson who will represent Team Great Britain at the 2023 Monster Energy FIM MXoN and Shaun Simpson who got welcomed cheering fans. 

In MXGP, it was the best starter of the year Jorge Prado who got the better of the pack and came out of the first couple of laps at the front ahead of Romain Febvre and Tim Gajser. The front three riders quickly pulled away from the other riders and created a consequent gap with the best of the rest Team HRC’s Rubén Fernández. Things seemed to be set at the top for the entire race although Febvre started to pick up his pace to get closer to the leader Prado. The late charger specialist Febvre gave some cold sweat to Prado who had to stay focused until the very last turn to maintain the lead. The Gold Plate showed that he can keep his composure in all circumstances and won the race in the end less than a second in front of Febvre. Gajser could see them battling in front of him but settled for another good 3rd place.

Fernandez on his side rode a consistent and solitary race in 4th for the whole race without being worried by anyone. Behind him, Ship to Cycle Honda SR Motoblouz’s Valentin Guillod showed an incredible determination and pace as he found himself in 7th place on the start to quickly take on his countryman Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP Team’s Jeremy Seewer and Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP Team’s Maxime Renaux over the course of a couple of turns to move up 5th on the opening lap. The Swiss maintained his position until the ed of the race. Renaux on the other side, went down when Guillod passed him and picked himself up well behind to finish in 18th place. Seewer hanged on in 6th but on lap 2 of 10, made a mistake and picked himself up in 15th place. The Swiss battled the whole race to move forward and finished frustratingly just outside the points in 11th place. It was a solid day for Team Gebben Van Venroy Yamaha Racing’s Calvin Vlaanderen who started in 7th but capitalised on Seewer’s mistake to move up to 6th. The Dutch rider managed to keep the 6th place until the end while his countryman Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP Team’s Glenn Coldenhoff didn’t take the best start as he got into 9th but powered through on lap 2 to pass De Baets Yamaha MX-Team’s Benoit Paturel to move up to 7th and finished there. Paturel clinched another top 10 and raced consistently in 8th place. 

The riders rounding the top 10 were once again Standing Construct Honda MXGP’s Pauls Jonass who shows that he can gets good results riding the whole way through 9th while MRT Racing Team Beta’s Alessandro Lupino got score a point with the 10th place which is really encouraging for the Sunday races. His teammate and home rider Ben Watson struggled to get a good start and found himself battling to get the 13th place.

Jorge Prado: “It was a good race as I started first and obviously got the win. I’m very happy for today. It was really nice and the track is very good this year, I was enjoying it a lot!”

In MX2, the battle raged throughout the whole board and it was Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Sacha Coenen who took the best start in front of Simon Laengenfelder and his brother Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Lucas Coenen. On the opening lap, L.Coenen overtook Laengnefelder for 2nd and we saw that we were going to see a battle between the two brothers for the lead but Laengenfelder decided otherwise when he made outstanding moves to overtake them both and take the lead on the turn of lap 1. Laengenfelder was on a league of his own and flew to victory with a very good margin. 

L.Coenen was battling with his brother when he went down on lap 2 of 10. The race for him was done as he picked himself up in 14th and finished in 13th place. S.Coenen on his side raced in 2nd place until lap 5 when couldn’t contain the pace of the Gold Plate Andrea Adamo. Adamo showed a lot of composure to finish 2nd. Things got bad to worse for S.Coenen as Jago Geerts pushed behind for several laps. S.Coenen showed incredible bravery as he held his ground for a while but had to concede on lap 8. Geerts and Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Roan Van de Moosdijk found the way to pass him one after the other and S.Coenen had to settle for 5th in the end. 

Geerts went on to finish 3rd and lost 2 points to his closest rival, Laengenfelder for the 2nd place on the final Championship podium. With 2 points separating them before Sunday races, the battle will be immense for both riders. Van De Moosdijk managed to shadow Geerts to finish 4th in the end. 

The ride of the day was for Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Kay de Wolf who following a bad start going 12th in the opening lap, the Dutch rider displayed all his skills to overtake riders after riders. De Wolf pushed hard and put pressure on the newly EMX250 European Champion Andrea Bonacorsi who made the jump in MX2 to acclimate himself before next season. The Italian made a great race showing that he has the level to compete at the highest level as he defended amazingly on de Wolf and Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 Team’s Thibault Benistant over the last three laps. In the end the determined de Wolf still managed to pass the Italian to finish at a great 6th place given his start while Bonacorsi finish 7th as he kept Benistant at bay to leave him behind in 8th. 

After crashing on the last race in Maggiora, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Liam Everts maybe felt still a bit bruised as he couldn’t get the best start and went 11th on lap 1. That didn’t stop the Belgian to get back at it and find his rhythm fight his way into the points. In the end he managed to salvage a 9th place and 2 points to stay in contention for the 2nd place in the Championship. 

Another amazing performance was from the American Big Van World MTX Kawasaki’s Jack Chambers who fought hard after getting to 13th on the opening lap. Chambers gained 2 positions on lap 2 and kept a good pace to then capitalised on Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 Team’s Rick Elzinga’s crash on lap 7 to move up to 10th. From then on Chambers kept his rank with confidence to finish 10th and get a good point while Elzinga had to settle for 11th in the end. 

Simon Laengenfelder: “It wasn’t so easy as the track was quite sketchy with ay hard spots. But I could pass the two Coenens for the first place and then I could make a nice gap and control it to the end. I’m really happy to take the 10 points for tomorrow!

The 2023 season reached its verdict last week at Maggiora, with Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing's Jorge Prado winning MXGP World Title and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Andrea Adamo taking the MX2 World Title. That's not to say that there's nothing left to play for when we arrive at Matterley Basin.

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 20 September 2023 - The 2023 FIM Motocross World Championship concludes this weekend with the nineteenth round of the campaign in Matterley Basin for the MXGP of Great Britain.

The well-known British circuit of Matterley Basin will be present on the Calendar for the 6th time in a row and will be hosting the 13th MXGP event in its history. The first apparition of the venue was in 2006 when Stefan Everts and David Philippaerts won in MX1 and MX2 respectively. Since then, Antonio Cairoli is the most prolific rider on this track with five GP wins in MXGP (2011,2012,2014,2015, 2019). Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings comes just behind with four victories (2014 and 2016 in MX2, 2018 and 2020 in MXGP). From the ones who will take the start this weekend, Team HRC's Tim Gajser is the one who the most with two victories in 2016 and 2022 in MXGP. 

In 2022, the MXGP of Great Britain was the opening round of the campaign and it was Tim Gajser who clinched the victory in front of Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado and Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP Team’s Jeremy Seewer, 2nd and 3rd respectively. In MX2, Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Simon Laengenfelder won for the first time of his career ahead of Tom Vialle 2nd and Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 Team’s Jago Geerts 3rd.

The last Grand Prix in Italy witnessed the crowning of Jorge Prado and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Andrea Adamo as the MXGP and MX2 World Champions respectively. They finally made it happen on the penultimate Grand Prix of the season in Maggiora. However the second and third place in MX2 are still in play between Jago Geerts, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Liam Everts and Simon Laengenfelder who have only 4 points that separate them all. This last round will be intense.

This weekend in Matterley Basin will also see the ultimate rounds of the EMX250 and EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing. While in EMX250, Hutten Metaal Yamaha Racing Team’s Andrea Bonacorsi secured the European Title in the penultimate round in Turkiye, the fight for the EMX125 European Title will still be on between the first in the Championship MJC Yamaha Official EMX125’s Janis Reisulis and 737 Performers GASGAS’s Mathis Valin, second. However, Reisulis has already one hand of the trophy as Valin trails by 37 points. Many things can still happen but if Reisulis continues on his recent form (he won the last 3 rounds), he could be crowned after Race 1.

Finally, the 2023 MXGP Awards will be taking place in Matterley Basin LIVE Sunday evening on MXGP-TV.com, YouTube Live and Facebook Live. The full line-up of the 2023 Champions will be present to accept their prizes in what will be a moment of celebration and amazing accolades for the shining stars of our sport.

Jorge Prado is the 2023 MXGP World Champion. His performance at the Grand Prix of Italy has propelled him to the top to win his first MXGP Championship in his career. The first race was key in that he battled with his first rival Kawasaki Racing Team’s Romain Febvre until the French rider got an issue with his bike and had to retire from the race which benefitted to Prado to win it all. The Grand Prix of Great Britain will be less stressful for Prado and may well giving him wings to perform even better, mainly to prepare for the MXoN coming soon. 

Romain Febvre has unfortunately experienced a very tough weekend as he saw his hopes of fighting until the very last race for the Championship win vanished with a mechanical issue. The Frenchman will now look forward to perform well in Matterley Basin to put himself in the best conditions before the MXoN on home soil.

Jeremy Seewer showed again that he is always fighting for the top as he won the MXGP of Italy, thanks to his speed and consistency. The Swiss also secured the 3rd place in the Championship which is a good achievement despite not being the one to lift the mighty trophy. He will arrive in Kawasaki next season with plenty of confidence. 

Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP Team’s Glenn Coldenhoff showed good flashes of speed in Maggiora but it was not enough to clinch a podium and settled for the 8th overall. This last GP would be another perfect opportunity for the Dutch rider to get a first GP win this season and get positive results before the MXoN. 

The momentum for Team HRC’s Rubén Fernández is the opposite as the Spanish is regaining confidence after his injury sustained in Finland and displayed great speed in Maggiora, setting the fastest lap of the weekend and getting his first podium since Germany.  Fernandez can also battle for the 4th place in the Championship as he is 43 points behind Coldenhoff. 

Team Gebben Van Venroy Yamaha Racing’s Calvin Vlaanderen has been a model of consistency this season and the MXGP of Italy didn’t change that fact with Vlaanderen going 7th overall. The Dutchman is guaranteed at least the 6th place in the Championship. His head will be turn to the Nations but he knows that it will pass by performing well in Matterley Basin. 

Pretty much guaranteed the 7th place in the Championship, SM Action Racing Team Yuasa Battery MXGP’s Alberto Forato was one of the heroes of the weekend during his home Grand Prix of Italy. Forato won his first race of his career in MXGP with the RAM Qualifying Race and narrowly missed the first podium of his career on the Sunday. It is still a great achievement as he got his best finish with the 4th overall. 

Ship to Cycle Honda SR Motoblouz’s Valentin Guillod clinched another top 10 for the season as he displayed a solid riding in Italy. The Swiss fulfils his objective of top 10 as he is 9th in the Championship although the last round in Great Britain will decide if he finishes 9th or 10th as Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP Team’s Maxime Renaux is going to come strong this weekend to get the best momentum and rhythm before the MXoN. Renaux who underperformed in MAggiora with a 16th overall will need to show a lot of determination in Great Britain to fight for a podium finish.

MRT Racing Team Beta’s Ben Watson finds himself in 15th position in the Championship before heading to his home Grand Prix. However the British best rider could well win several position if he performs well in front of his home fans and could get closer to the top 10 which would be a good achievement before going to the MXoN.

Andrea Adamo is the new MX2 World Champion after a season of consistency and amazing racings that placed Adamo at the top of the Championship mid-way in the season. What an epic moment it was for the young Italian to finally get his hands on the trophy for the first time in his career on home soil of all places. Adamo responded present despite the huge tasks that was in front him before the MXGP of Italy and finished on the 3rd step of the podium.

Jago Geerts his getting back to his best and proved it with an excellent Grand Prix victory in Italy, his 7th of the season. Although the Belgian will be nourishing some remorse about this season due to his injuries that hindered his chances of winning the Championship that was promised to him, he may still get onto the 2nd place while preparing himself for the MXoN. Geerts will give everything in Matterley Bason to reach his 100% fitness. 

Asamo’s closest rival before Italy, and teammate Liam Everts unfortunately didn’t perform to his usual standards, maybe due to the pressure and crashed in the second race which definitely handed the MX2 Championship to Adamo. Evert will need to regroup quickly as the battle for the 2nd place will rage on in Matterley Basin between him, Jasgo Geerts and Simon Laengenfelder. 

Simon Laengenfelder is unstoppable since his comeback from injury as he clinched another podium in Italy. The German is now also in the battle for the 2nd place in the Championship as he is levelled with Everts and only 4 points behind Geerts. The MXGP of Great Britain will be th big decider for the final podium of the season and will offer some thrilling battle. 

Another place will be decided this weekend between Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Lucas Coenen, F&H Kawasaki Racing Team’s Kevin Horgmo and Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Kay de Wolf as they will fight for the 5th place. L.Coenen who is 5th in the Championship has 17 points on Horgmo and 27 points on de Wolf. Despite finishing in 7th place in Italy, L.Coenen displayed his amazing talent with a huge comeback in Race 2. The pressure will be now to maintain his 5th place and ride solidly without doing any mistakes. 

Horgmo is getting better and better asnd has been fighting for the top spots during the second part of the season. His form is excellent at the moment and could gain a position in the Championship. On the other side, both riders will have to deal with ex Red Plate de Wolf who is really gaining momentum and rhythm with a great 4th place overall in Maggiora. The objective for the Dutch rider is also to raise his fitness to be as competitive as possible and come back to the top. That will be interesting to see him riding elbow to elbow with his closest rivals for a symbolic but important 5th place.
