Scharinger flies on Spanish soil as European Junior E-Motocross nears the chequered flag

intu-Xanadù - ARROYOMOLINOS (Spain) 16 October - The new circuit of intu Xanadú Arroyomolinos staged the thirteenth round of 2021 MXGP and counted upon the European Junior e-Motocross series as part of the support programme. As with the other events of the competition in Italy, Germany and France, the youngsters were able to fully immerse themselves in paddock life and enjoy close proximity to their Grand Prix heroes and the race teams.

Part of the European Junior e-Motocross series’ flavour is the chance to ride and race a section of the Grand Prix track and the 25 contenders on KTM SX-E 5, Husqvarna Motorcycles EE 5 and the GASGAS MC-E 5 equipment had to master the rough hard-pack of the Madrid layout.

In Timed Practice it was native Logan Liberal Rodas who was able to find the fastest lines around the course. The Spaniard, with his KTM SX-E 5, was just over a second quicker than countryman Eleu Jose with Frenchman Jordan Cadenel also close.

In the first race of seven minutes and one lap duration it was Tobias Scharinger who excelled. The Husqvarna Motorcycles EE 5 rider took the lead on the second lap of seven and built-up an advantage over Liberal Rodas as Jose and Cadenel disputed 3rd position; the battle eventually won by the winner of German and French rounds Jose.

In the afternoon Scharinger fed his confidence into the second race. The Austrian rode to a comfortable victory over France’s Timotei Cez by almost three seconds. Another Austrian, Elias Eder, secured 3rd position. 

The national anthem played for Scharinger as he walked the top of the podium for the first time. Cez and Cadenel took the next steps on the rostrum respectively as former series leader Jose missed out by just one point.

There is also just one point separating new front-runner Scharinger from Jose with an exciting climax to 2021 European Junior e-Motocross ahead. Eder is also in play with 3rd place in the table and 10 points from the title.

There will be little time for respite and recovery for the junior participants of ‘MXE’. The last outing takes place on Sunday at Intu Xanadú Arroyomolinos where the winner of European Junior e-Motocross will be presented with their trophy and a brand-new motorcycle. All riders crossing the finish line Sunday afternoon to complete the full campaign will have access to a special training day provided by one of the Grand Prix factory teams.

GALFER MOVES INTO MOTOCROSS AS OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF MXGP

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 13 October 2021 – Infront Moto Racing is pleased to welcome GALFER, brake systems specialist, leading manufacturer and dealer of disc brakes and pads for the two-wheeler market as official sponsor for the FIM Motocross World Championship and Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations. The sponsorship will cover the end of the current season and the next two seasons (2022-2023).

GALFER is well known and respected in international competition and has long been the number one choice of many top teams and riders at the top level both on the track (MotoGP and WSBK) and off-road (MXGP, EnduroGP, TrialGP, Extreme Enduro), as well as the first choice of major motorbike manufacturers (KTM, GasGas, Beta Motor, TM Racing, Montesa, etc.), who look to the Spanish specialist, GALFER, for their braking systems.

Having won 50 world titles in the last 10 years across the different FIM Off-Road competitions (Steve Holcombe, Kiara Fontanesi, Toni Bou, Laia Sanz and many other riders), GALFER is no stranger to the international Motocross scene and the company has supported riders such as Alessandro Lupino (MRT Racing Team KTM), Kiara Fontanesi (MxFontaracing Gas Gas Syneco), Nathan Watson (Team Honda SR Motoblouz) and Jeremy Van Horebeek (Beta SDM Corse), among others.

The sponsorship agreement was signed with Infront Moto Racing, promoter of the FIM Motocross World Championship and Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations. Starting at the MXGP in Madrid on October 17th, 2021, and running through the end of the 2021 season and both the 2022 and 2023 seasons, the GALFER brand will be an important presence both in the races and in the paddock area, where it will be possible to find out more about their range of products and participate in autograph sessions with riders representing the brand.

From next season GALFER plans to hold a range of promotional activities at many of the races on the 2022 and 2023 calendar. And to celebrate its debut as an Official Sponsor for the 2021 season, GALFER is offering the chance to win 3 paddock passes for the MXGP of Spain on October 16-17 in a competition that will be launched soon on the company's Instagram page (@galfer_brakes).

Infront Moto Racing CEO David Luongo: “Infront Moto Racing welcomes Galfer. This new partnership is confirming the trend of popularity of the MXGP World Championship in the Spanish market and its attraction as a global platform for the development of the Motorsport industry. We are sure that this partnership will bring both of our groups to new highs.” 

Sales Manager Ivo Martini Bristot: The decision to become an official sponsor of the Motocross World Championship and Motocross of Nations, as well as the Enduro and Trial World Championships, is more than just a strategic choice for GALFER. It is another stage in the recent period of tremendous success and growth across all sectors of the two-wheeler market that has been the hallmark of the Spanish brand. It confirms GALFER's commitment and constant investment in the world of competition, where it has supported the research and development of products with ever increasing performance, capable of satisfying the needs of both top riders and keen enthusiasts.

MXGP ready for the Spanish Grand Prix

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 13 October 2021 – This weekend, round 13 of the FIM Motocross World Championship heads to intu Xanadú – Arroyomolinos for the MXGP of Spain.

Following the success of its debut in 2020, the intu Xanadú – Arroyomolinos circuit will once again host the fastest riders in the world as we continue this intense season of racing.

Based just 23km from downtown Madrid, the venue is located next to intu Xanadú, one of the biggest commercial centres in Europe. The Madrid region offers many famous historical tourist attractions, such as castles, gastronomy, art and of course shopping, along with the good weather and high quality of life.

The circuit itself, is hardpack on a clay terrain. The track features a good combination between long and high jumps, along with different kind of corners. Deep ruts are expected this weekend, with many corners filled with different lines for the riders to choose from.

Racing alongside the MXGP and MX2 categories this weekend will also be the FIM Women’s Motocross World Championship and the EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing.

In WMX, Bike IT MTX Kawasaki rider Courtney Duncan will look to maintain the championship lead over Kiara Fontanesi who secured her first overall victory of the season at the previous round in Turkey where she went 1-1. With the confidence of a perfect score, Fontanesi will be a big threat but no doubt the other ladies will rise to the challenge too.

Meanwhile in the EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing category, MRT Racing Team KTM rider Valerio Lata will aim for two solid races in order to stay ahead of his closest championship rival Kay Karssemakers of Husqvarna SKS Racing NL who is just 17 points behind.

 

The MXGP title fight remains tight knit as Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings is back in the lead after taking back the red plate in France last weekend.  Since making his return from injury, Herlings has maintained a healthy seven GP podium streak, four of which have been overall victories. This weekend the Bullet will race in Arroyomolinos for the first time, and it will be interesting to see how he will adapt to the new venue and whether he can add another overall win.

While Herlings may be the championship leader once again, the advantage that he has over Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Romain Febvre is slim. The Frenchman is just six points adrift, which means that there is a chance that we could see the red plate back on a Kawasaki for the first time since Gautier Paulin secured the championship lead at the MXGP of Qatar in 2014.

Then there’s Team HRC’s Tim Gajser who lost the red plate in Riola Sardo as he was recovering from injury, then got it back in Germany and then lost it again in France but still remains just 10 points behind. Gajser struggled to find his rhythm in Lacapelle Marival but still managed to podium and of course his focus for the upcoming GP will be to take some good points and get back into the swing of things.

The Spanish Grand Prix will be an important one for the next rider in the championship standings, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado, who will look to put his best foot forward at his home Grand Prix and deliver some top results. Of course, this will be no easy task as the young Spaniard is recovering from the crash in Germany which resulted in him needing stitches in his armpit.

Also struggling in the last few GPs has been Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli who is getting back up to speed since his crash at the MXGP of Sardegna. The Italian has lost a big of ground in the title chase but with 300 points still up for grabs, he’s still not out of contention just yet.

Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Seewer has been getting back to where he belongs in the last few races as the Swiss has been consistently fighting inside the top 5. In fact, Seewer was tied on points with Gajser for the podium in France, so the MXGP of Spain could see him finally get back on the podium, since his last one was in Loket earlier this season. Meanwhile his teammates Ben Watson and Glenn Coldenhoff will look for more positive results in the upcoming races.

Also looking for positive results will be Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Arminas Jasikonis and Thomas Kjer Olsen. Olsen placed seventh overall in France, while Jasikonis was further down the field in 12th place. Olsen finished third on the podium last season in Spain, in the MX2 category, so it will be interesting to see whether he can manage the same in MXGP.

The upcoming race will not only be the home race of Prado but also of Jose Burton from JD Gunnex KTM Racing Team who will no doubt want to put on his best performance for the home crowds. Another Spanish rider that will line up in Arroyomolinos is Joan Cros who will make a wildcard appearance.

In MX2, the championship is pretty much in control of Maxime Renaux from Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing who leads the standings with a 91-point advantage over his teammate Jago Geerts. Geerts has struggled with making small mistakes this season which as a result has cost him vital championship points, but hopefully this weekend he can put that behind him and repeat his success of the Spanish GP in 2020 and get back on the podium.

Sitting in a not so distant third is Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Mattia Guadagnini who finally got himself back on the podium in France. There’s still 300 points up for grabs which means the title is far from being decided and at this point in the series, anything can happen.

In the last few Grand Prix’s we have seen Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle bring his A game and dominate the majority of the races as he has been on the podium for the last five consecutive races, four of which have been overall victories. And while he may not be in the fight for the title, as he currently sits fourth in the championship, more than 100 points behind Renaux, this doesn’t mean that he’s completely out of a chance and either way still has the opportunity to go for the silver or bronze medal.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Jed Beaton put together two solid races in Lacapelle Marival and finished the weekend fourth overall, just five points shy of the podium. The Aussie has had some positive results this season and has finished close within a podium spot on several occasions. Meanwhile his teammate Kay De Wolf had a hard weekend in France and will no doubt be looking to bounce back.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Rene Hofer also had a couple of good races since his podium finish in Germany and will no doubt want to repeat this success at the upcoming GP. F&H Kawasaki Racing’s Roan Van De Moosdijk and Mikkel Haarup were another pair that battled well inside the top 10 and we hope to see more of the same this weekend.

But of course, this weekend will be a special one for Ruben Fernandez of Honda 114 Motorsports, as it will be his home Grand Prix in Spain. No bout the Honda rider will want to put on a good performance but will need to take it easy as he continues his return from a shoulder injury that he picked up in Riola Sardo.

INFRONT MOTO RACING EXTENDS AGREEMENT WITH EUROVISION SERVICES FOR WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION AND STREAMING OF MXGP UNTIL 2024

MONACO (PRINCIPALITY OF MONACO) 13 OCTOBER 2021 – Infront Moto Racing is pleased to extend its existing agreement with Eurovision Services through to 2024 for the worldwide distribution and live streaming for the FIM Motocross World Championship, MXGP, MX2, WMX, SNX as well as the EMX series and the best off road event of the season, the Monster Energy FIM MXoN.

The agreement continues a long-standing partnership that dates back to 1997, under which Eurovision Services has managed the transmissions of the motocross events promoted by Infront Moto Racing. The signals are distributed worldwide over the Eurovision Global Network, which combines satellite, fibre and IP delivery to ensure maximum reach to broadcasters across the globe. Eurovision Services also provides the live streaming signal, using its decentralised Streamfarm, so that viewers can watch all the action on MXGP-TV at https://www.mxgp-tv.com.

Infront Moto Racing CEO David Luongo: “EBU and Eurovision Services have been next to us for more than 2 decades. Thank to their fantastic quality of services and innovation, they helped us in every stage of the development of the FIM MXGP World Championship. From classical broadcasters to our OTT channel launched back in 2011, they have been next to us to bring motocross to our fans worldwide. We are glad to continue this great journey for 3 more years.”

Michele Gosetti, Head of Global Sales and Marketing at Eurovision Services: “The fact that we have been distributing these motocross competitions for nearly 25 years is proof in itself of how strong our association with the sport of motocross is. I am delighted that this will continue for a further three years, taking us beyond the significant quarter of a century milestone.”
