MX2

Vialle and Victory

21-year-old Tom Vialle is very much a young man who is heading for big things in the sport. Already an MX2 World Champion in 2020, and with 15 Grand Prix victories, he is making his way up the list of very good Grand Prix riders.

Last weekend in Argentina the Frenchman scored his first Grand Prix victory of 2022 and showed Jago Geerts that his season will be as tough as it has always been, as the young Belgian and the KTM rider will once again go head-to-head this year.

The season started a little slow for Vialle, with his British GP performance solid, but not overwhelming. A 2-3 scoreline gave him second overall behind Red Bull GasGas Factory rider Simon Langenfelder, but he did feel something was missing.

“Not a bad result to start the season,” Vialle said. “Although, I was a bit disappointed with the crash at the end of the second race while trying for the win. If we consider that I’ve only been riding a month and a half, and we are fine-tuning the new race bike then this was a good day. It was nice to be at the front and it was a bit of a surprise to have that good rhythm. A good GP for the confidence. Mantova next week and a track where we race a lot. We know it well and we will be ready.

A week later in Mantova, that little crash in England seemed like nothing as Vialle was involved in a horrible crash and saw him fail to score any points in the second race. Again, a mistake cost him another GP win as he led the second race after a second-place finish in the opening heat.

“A strange weekend. It started well with second place on Saturday, so I had a good place in the gate. The first race was okay and second again was good, but I wasn’t that happy with my riding. We changed the bike a bit for the second race, and I felt better. I was leading but the jump take-off had been watered and it was still early in the race. It was a huge crash! I was very lucky. I’m thankful for that. We have Argentina next and a bit of time now to train and to continue to improve.”

It all came together thought for Vialle in Argentina last weekend, when he put together a 2-1 finish, to win his 15th Grand Prix, just ahead of main rival Geerts, who scored the same results, but 1-2, with the poorer second race costing the Belgian his second overall win in three rounds.

“A nice weekend and I really wanted to win that second race, but it was very fast and tough out there. I wanted to make the passes quickly and it worked out I had to stay focussed. I’m getting back to speed and physically I’m strong after a difficult winter of preparation. The season is getting going for me now. We have another 17 GPs ahead. I want to thank the whole team for the job at this GP. We have an amazing race bike.”

And now, we head to Portugal, a circuit that will suit the little Frenchman and hopefully see his battles with Jago Geerts light up the Agueda circuit. Still 26 points off the red plate of Geerts, you just know Vialle will be trying to finish with as many points as possible and hopefully keep the Yamaha rider off the top step of the podium.

MXGP Magazine: Simon Says

Following his incredible performance at the season opener in Matterley Basin, Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing’s newest addition Simon Längenfelder quickly declared himself as a potential title contender for the 2022 season of the FIM Motocross World Championship.

The 17-year-old German, who will turn 18 at the end of April, made his intentions and potential clear by winning the qualifying race, claiming both Fox Holeshots and winning MX2 races one and two, leaving Great Britain with the red plate.

Of course, the big question was whether he could back that up with another strong performance the following weekend and while the MXGP of Lombardia in Mantova saw Längenfelder deliver results good enough for fourth overall, only two points off the box, which also mean he lost the series lead – it was his overall performance, as he battled through the field to top point scoring positions, that was noteworthy and confirmed him as a very strong competitor.

Längenfelder is no stranger to winning races and standing on the podium, as he did so back in 2019 when he finished third in the EMX125 Championship. The young German podiumed four of the seven rounds, placing second overall in Lombardia, Germany and Sweden, while also winning the round in Lommel, Belgium.

He was then quickly picked up for a MX2 ride in 2020 with the DIGA Procross GasGas Factory Racing squad, now known as DIGA Procross KTM Racing Team, which saw him FastTrack from the EMX125 class straight to the MX2 World Championship, without taking the traditional route of the EMX250 class.

Längenfelder’s first season in MX2 was clouded by an injury sustained in Faenza but his first few races showed a glimpse of promise. Then in 2021 during his full season in MX2, he finished 10th in the World Championship rankings which clearly caught the attention of Claudio and Davide De Carli.

“I always watch some young riders, usually in the European Championship, and I think the first time I saw Simon was 2019 and he was riding in the 125 class. If I remember well, he had a great race in Lommel, and he was very young’” shared Claudio De Carli.

“I remember I talked about him with Pit Beirer; Simon was in a GasGas team, we were still KTM but when our team passed to the GasGas brand, we wanted a young rider alongside Mattia (Guadagnini) and talking with Pit we decided that Simon could be a good choice” he added.

“I always liked his riding style, very clean and ‘light, but I was sure he could improve a lot, mentally, physically and everything. He joined us in the winter, and he worked so much and is always positive. Before the start of the season, I was sure he could fight with everyone in the MX2 category, but honestly, I could not imagine such a great result in the first GP in Matterley Basin, where he was perfect and unbeatable. I think he can go on like this because he has the mentality and the preparation” Claudio explained.

So, for this season, he remains with GasGas but joins the Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing team alongside Jorge Prado and Mattia Guadagnini, which is a very exciting move and a great set-up to be a part of when chasing top results and world titles, exactly what the De Carli Racing Team are known for.

“Simon showed in the first two GPs that he is riding to win. We are not putting pressure on him, and we’ll see what the season brings” confirmed Claudio “I think that Simon can do really good, he is only 17 years old, so he is improving a lot and we are really positive” added Davide De Carli.

But to get a better idea of who Simon Längenfelder is, MXGP sat down with the young German ahead of the MXGP of Lombardia to find out more about the opportunity to move to the De Carli GasGas team, the results in Great Britain and whether he feels any pressure going forward.

INFRONT MOTO RACING AND KTM AG ARE PLEASED TO OPEN REGISTRATIONS FOR THE 2022 EUROPEAN JUNIOR E-MOTOCROSS SERIES

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 24 March 2022 – Returning for a second season after a highly positive maiden campaign in 2021, rider registrations for the 2022 European Junior e-Motocross Series – co-created successfully between Infront Moto Racing and  KTM AG - are now officially open. With all 40 places on the gate expected to sell out fast, parents and guardians of interested riders are encouraged to sign up now to secure a place on the start line for what’s set to be another exciting year of e-powered motorsport.

Unified by a shared mission to develop talented young racers, KTM AG and Infront Moto Racing joined forces just under 12 months ago to create the European Junior e-Motocross Series. The all-electric racing series proved to be incredibly popular in 2021 and for 2022 will once again be played out over five rounds alongside selected FIM Motocross World Championship events.

Beginning on May 29 at the MXGP of Spain, the European Junior e-Motocross Series will visit France and Germany, before drawing to a close with a two-day event at the MXGP of Czech Republic over the weekend of July 16-17. Retaining a proven race format, all 40 riders competing in the European Junior e-Motocross Series will take on a timed qualifying session to determine gate pick, followed by two races. At the conclusion of each round the top three riders overall will then climb onto the podium to celebrate their success.

To enter the series, all riders must be aged between 6-8 years old (age taken on January 1, 2022) and ride an electric-powered KTM SX-E 5, GASGAS MC-E 5 or Husqvarna EE 5, committing to racing at a minimum of three rounds. Successful entrants will then receive a special entry package consisting of branded merchandise dependant on the bike they own. For the eventual 2022 European Junior e-Motocross Series champion, an exclusive prize is on offer – a trip for two to the USA to attend the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations on September 25.

David Luongo, Infront Moto Racing CEO: “The partnership that was formed last year between Infront Moto Racing and KTM AG to create the European Junior e-Motocross Series has been really positive. We have received such enthusiastic feedback from the riders and their families, which has made all the hard work behind the scenes worthwhile. It’s a really exciting series that not only allows young riders the chance to compete alongside MXGP, but it allows the manufacturers, KTM, Husqvarna Motorcycles, and GASGAS, to gain valuable information on their bikes being raced in a competitive environment. E-powered motorsport is evolving all the time and for Infront Moto Racing, it’s an important step to have this series running alongside the FIM Motocross World Championship.”

Florian Burguet, Vice President KTM Global Marketing: “The European Junior e-Motocross Series returns for 2022 and marks another exciting and positive step towards the future. For KTM AG and its brands, the introduction of this series, which was created alongside Infront Moto Racing last year, was a pivotal moment for all involved. It’s incredibly important because we can showcase the latest developments in e-powered technologies to a worldwide audience thanks to each round taking place alongside MXGP. As the global leader in the offroad market, we understand the importance of introducing younger racers into the sport of motocross and the European Junior e-Motocross Series is the perfect place for them to begin their racing careers.”

Fox Holeshot Films – MXGP of Patagonia Argentina

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 22 March 2022 – MXGP is excited to continue the Fox Holeshot competition for the 2022 season of the FIM Motocross World Championship, together with MXGP partner Fox.

How does the competition work?

Every Grand Prix race, during both MXGP and MX2 races, the rider who crosses the white line painted on the ground at the exit of the first corner secures the Fox Holeshot and receives one point. At the end of the season, the two riders, one per category, with the most Fox Holeshot points will win the mega prize!

At the MXGP of Patagonia-Argentina the Fox Holeshot awards were presented to four different riders across the MXGP and MX2 categories.

In MXGP, the first Fox Holeshot went to Henry Jacobi of JM Honda Racing, while the second one was received by Team HRC’s Tim Gajser who went on to win his third consecutive Grand Prix.

Meanwhile in MX2, the Fox Holeshot’s went to Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle in race one, while in race two it was Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing’s Simon Längenfelder who got out of the gate fast. Vialle went on to claim his first GP win in 2022.

As it stands, Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado continues to lead the Fox Holeshot classifications in MXGP, meanwhile in MX2, Längenfelder and Vialle remain tied on three points.

The Fox Holeshot competition continues in a couple of weeks’ time at the MXGP of Portugal!

Gajser Clinches Third Consecutive GP Win as Vialle Celebrates First Victory in Argentina

NEUQUÉN (Patagonia-Argentina) 20 March 2022 – The third round of the 2022 FIM Motocross World Championship in Villa La Angostura has concluded with Team HRC’s Tim Gajser celebrating a third consecutive Grand Prix victory and 90th career podium while Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle finally made his comeback to the top step, following a couple of tough weeks.

The MXGP of Patagonia-Argentina delivered, as it always does, with a crowd of 39,000 fans keeping the atmosphere at a maximum from the first warm-up session to the last chequered flag of the day, reminding the whole paddock why the Argentinian Grand Prix is among the best on the racing calendar.

 

In the opening MXGP race of the weekend, we saw JM Honda Racing’s Henry Jacobi grab the Fox Holeshot, though it was Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Maxime Renaux who jumped into first place ahead of Honda 114 Motorsports’ Ruben Fernandez, who sensed his own opportunity to lead an MXGP race and did just that.

Standing Construct Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Pauls Jonass was right there too, searching for a way around Renaux and so was Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Seewer and Gajser.

Fernandez’ lead did not last long as only a couple of corners later it all went wrong, and he crashed hard. This meant that Jonass took over the lead after finding a way past Renaux. Fernandez managed to get going again and eventually came back to 15th.

On lap four, Gajser eased past Seewer for third, as Prado was starting to come under attack from Thomas Kjer Olsen of Diga Procross KTM Racing for fifth.

Gajser then focused his efforts on the front as he closed in on Renaux. The Frenchman made a small mistake which handed Gajser an opportunity to attack, but he could not get it done as Renaux was riding defensive and not backing down to the multi-time world champion.

After leading for 11 laps of the race, Jonass went down, which meant that Renaux was then the leading man with Gajser breathing down his neck. The battle continued for another nine laps as Gajser tried his best but ultimately Renaux was cool under pressure and went on to secure his first ever MXGP race victory ahead of Gajser and Seewer. In the final laps Jonass dropped two spots, finishing behind Prado and Olsen.

In MXGP race two, it was Gajser who secured his first Fox Holeshot of 2022, though it was Prado who led the race. Gajser though was not going to miss out on a win again, as he made a quick pass on the Spaniard to move into the leading position.

Seewer and Olsen went down on the opening lap, with Olsen not finishing the race, while Seewer gave his best to come back to 13th before deciding to retire from the race just four laps from the end.

Renaux got by Jonass for third, as Fernandez did the same. Though Jonass was able to get the Spaniard back by the third lap and maintain his position for much of the race, until Fernandez bounced back in lap 14 to take away fourth from the Latvian as the pair banged bars.

Back at the front, Gajser was looking in control as he got his head down and opened up a strong gap to second position. At that point it was Prado who was second, though Renaux played it smart and took his time to get by the GasGas rider on lap five.

Team HRC’s Mitch Evans was having a strong race in sixth, though later in the race, dropped two positions and finished eighth.

In the end, it was a fairly easy race victory for Gajser, who was victorious ahead of Renaux, Fernandez, Prado and Jonass.

In terms of the podium, it was Gajser who secure his third back-to-back GP win, while Renaux celebrated his second time on the box in MXGP, as Prado joined them in third.

Heading into the next round at the MXGP of Portugal, Gajser leads the MXGP standings with 141 points ahead of Renaux who now moves into second 124 points, six points ahead of Prado in third.

Tim Gajser: “I’m really happy, it was a good weekend for us. We had a little bit of bad luck in the qualifying race, but I knew I had the speed, seventh gate pick was not too bad. I managed to take two solid starts, in the first one the start was not the best but anyway I came through the pack, finished second, Maxime was riding really good, and we were battling until the end. And then the second race I took the holeshot, but Jorge passed me and then I passed him back. I made a little gap and controlled the race so I’m really happy”.

Maxime Renaux: “It was a really good day and I’m really happy with it. We started slowly yesterday, but step-by-step I made some improvements on the track. Very solid start in the first race, I didn’t quite make the Fox Holeshot, but I was leading and got passed by Pauls, but then he crashed, and I could lead again. In the end I had some good battles with Tim, he really pushed me in that race but I’m really happy with it. In the second one, it was a little bit of a different story, a bit of a worse start and had to come through the pack, I managed to pass everyone but Tim who was really fast. Solid weekend, I am very happy”.

Jorge Prado: “Overall, it was a tough weekend for me. I just didn’t feel good from Saturday on, so it was hard and not being able to be competitive it’s harder also, but the guys next to me were way faster, I just couldn’t hold on and I couldn’t really ride like myself. It was hard, I didn’t have good lines and didn’t ride good. Sometimes it happens, still on the box and third in the championship. But we are going back to Europe and the next round is Agueda, I got the red plate there in 2019 so I have confidence and will get back to work, nothing else to say”.

In the first MX2 race of the Argentinian Grand Prix, it was Vialle with the Fox Holeshot as he led the way ahead of Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jago Geerts, Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Kay de Wolf, Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing’s Simon Längenfelder and Gianluca Facchetti of KTM Beddini MX2.

Further behind was Big Van World MTX Kawasaki rider Mikkel Haarup who was applying a lot of pressure onto Hitachi KTM fuelled by Milwaukee’s Isak Gifting. He was able to make it stick and move into sixth and set his sights on Facchetti ahead.

Geerts then managed to break free of the hard charging de Wolf and set the fastest lap of the race as he looked to get back in the battle with Vialle.

de Wolf then lost some ground and it looked like Längenfelder was going to use this to his advantage to go after third. As the battle between the pair intensified, both de Wolf and Längenfelder crashed hard, in two separate crashes within second of each other, with de Wolf not finishing the race, while the Längenfelder was able to get going again.

Meanwhile F&H Kawasaki Racing’s Kevin Horgmo was looking very strong as he charged through the field. By lap seven, he inherited third and was looking good to finish inside the top three.

Meanwhile Vialle was looking more and more comfortable in the lead, as the riders battled behind him. Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing’s Mattia Guadagnini got by 426 Motorsports Conrad Mewse for fifth, with Haarup doing the same after crashing earlier in the race.

In the final two laps we saw some excitement at the sharp end of the field, as Geerts looked to steal the win from Vialle. And he did just that, though Vialle responded, and it took the Belgian a couple more corners to secure the spot entirely.

Geerts went on to win the race ahead of Vialle, Guadagnini, Haarup and Horgmo, who lost two spots on the final lap.

The second race of the MX2 category did not begin as planned with the race being red flagged less than two laps in, as Facchetti went down, and the medical crew needed a clear track to move him safely. The Italian confirmed on his Instagram page that he sustained a small fracture to his wrist and ribs.

The restart of the race though saw Längenfelder claim the second Fox Holeshot with Geerts right behind him.

By the end of the second lap, Geerts was already the race leader, as Vialle also went by Längenfelder and so did Horgmo. The German and Norwegian then had a close battle, though were caught out by Guadagnini who was on a charge, as he managed to get by both riders by the fifth lap, to move himself into third.

Vialle looked like he was on a mission after a tough couple of races and on lap five he got by Geerts to take over first place. A couple of laps later Horgmo crashed out of fourth, but was able to get going quickly in sixth, though he did not finish the race in the end.

Haarup was on it as he passed both Längenfelder and then later Guadagnini to secure third place in the race by the chequered flag.

Vialle crossed the finish line first, 6.463 seconds ahead of Geerts, with Haarup third, Guadagnini fourth and Längenfelder fifth.

A 2-1 result gave Vialle his first Grand Prix victory of the season, with Geerts forced to settle for second, while Haarup celebrated his first MX2 podium since Matterley Basin 2020.

As it stands, heading into the fourth round of the series in Portugal, Geerts leads the championship with 137 points, 26 ahead of Vialle, with Längenfelder third just a further point behind.

Tom Vialle: “It was a nice victory, you know it was a little bit tough for me in the last few weeks, so after Mantova we made tested with the bike and I made a pretty good set-up. I felt good and I really wanted to win the second race, when I passed Jago I was really wanted to push until the end. It was a nice victory and hard because Jago was really fast, but I tried to stay focused on the race. The weekend went pretty well, and it was a nice victory”.

Jago Geerts: “It was a nice weekend, I felt good all weekend on the track. Track was really nice to ride, and it was fun. First race I didn’t have the best feeling in the first fifteen minutes but then I felt better and better on the track, and I could pass Tom, he was also very strong, so it was a nice race. Second race, and then again, the first fifteen minutes I didn’t have the best feeling again and then I was running better and better but in the end, I had a pretty big blister on my hand and I didn’t want to take too many risks in the end”.

Mikkel Haarup: “It’s been a long time since I was on the box, I put in a lot of work in the last couple of months, I’m not surprised that I’m here but I’m really happy with the effort that I put in together with the team and I felt good already yesterday, my pace was better than the other rounds and now we try to keep that going. I felt good on the bike, and we just put in the work this weekend, this result is a big confidence boost for me, as two years without a podium is a long time, even though I previously put in the work but I just want to keep on working and I don’t take it for granted. Hopefully we can get a GP win at some point this season”.
