MX2

OSS (The Netherlands) 18 July 2021 – The MXGP of the Netherlands delivered the heat today, not only due to the obvious sunshine and hot weather conditions but also thanks to the incredible race action witnessed in Oss, which was very well received by a very excited Dutch crowd.

The day began with a special parade lap that featured former FIM Motocross World Championship legends such as Harry Everts, Joel Smets, John van den Berk, Marnicq Bervoets, Jacky Martens, Marc Velkeneers, Peter Herlings, Gerrit Wolsink, Gerard Rond, Gertjan van Doorn, Edwin Evertsen and Johan Boonen.

Then it was time for racing and to put it simply, the Dutch Grand Prix, as always, did not disappoint.

In MXGP, all eyes were on Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings and Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Glenn Coldenhoff who were starting the races from first and second positions.

In race one, it was Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Romain Febvre who grabbed the Fox Holeshot, though Coldenhoff was not looking to waste any time as he jumped into the lead. He then led Febvre, Team HRC’s Tim Gajser, Herlings and Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Seewer.

Herlings then took a hard hit from Ivo Monticelli of Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team, though miraculously was able to carry on, while Monticelli crashed.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Arminas Jasikonis was having a good ride in 11^th place to score his first points of the season.

But the action in front is what had our attention as Febvre was looking for every possible way to get around Coldenhoff. The pair kept the intensity high from the beginning, while Gajser rode smart, taking his time in the background.

As the gap shrunk to 0.359 it looked like Febvre was finally going to get around the Dutchman, but instead the Frenchman made a mistake which saw him crash, costing him valuable time. He did however re-join pretty quickly and was down in third.

With less than 10 minutes to go, it looked like Coldenhoff was starting to fade a little as Gajser, Febvre and Herlings closed in on him. Febvre then got Gajser for second and got onto the back wheel of Coldenhoff’s Yamaha once again.

Herlings then muscled his way past Gajser and not long after was all over Febvre. With 2 minutes plus two laps to go, Herlings was already in front of Febvre who crashed and within striking distance of Coldenhoff.

The chase was on and with 3 laps to go, Herlings became the new race leader going on to win the first race with Coldenhoff second and Gajser third.

The second race saw carnage in the start which saw riders like Coldenhoff and Seewer, among others, go down, while Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado got the Fox Holeshot and led the way. Febvre was second with Gajser third.

Due to the incident in the opening race, Herlings did not line-up for the second heat as he travelled to hospital to confirm his shoulder injury. His return to racing is unknown for the moment.

As Febvre looked to push Prado for the lead, he made a costly mistake which saw him go off track on a side of a jump. He re-joined the race in 6^th ahead of Jasikonis.

Prado then led Gajser by 2.342 seconds, with Standing Construct GasGas Factory Racing’s Brian Bogers having a strong ride in third place.

Seewer and Coldenhoff struggled to come back from their crashes, with Seewer managing a top 10 finish in race two, while Coldenhoff placed down in 22^nd, missing out on championship points.

Febvre worked his way back up the order as he passed Ben Watson of Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing for 5^th place, as Gajser closed the gap down to Prado.

Cairoli then put a large charge in the race as he got around Bogers for third and set his sights on Gajser and Prado ahead.

Prado did a good job at keeping Gajser at bay until the final three laps of the race, when the Team HRC rider was able to get around the Spaniard. Prado then seemed to have faded as Cairoli was able to get around him too.

The 9-time World Champion then stepped it up another gear and caught out Gajser who maybe did not expect to have him right there. With less than half a lap to go, Cairoli took away the lead and went on to win the second MXGP race in Oss. Gajser was second and Prado third.

In terms of the podium, it was Tim Gajser who took the overall win, with Antonio Cairoli finishing second and Romain Febvre placing third, with two solid 4^th place finishes.

Gajser continues to lead the championship with 166 points, with Herlings, Cairoli and Febvre tied on 143 points just behind him.

Tim Gajser: “First race I was quite happy with third place, and I didn’t want to take any risks as the track was sketchy. In the second race I took a good start, I was behind Prado the whole race but he was blocking all the lines but then I managed to pass him with a couple of laps from the end but I lost all my energy before and Tony passed me on the last lap. I was trying to hold him, but he had better lines and anyway I am very happy with the overall”.

Antonio Cairoli: “Yeah I was very disappointed about that first race because I know I have a good condition; I could ride good in this track. I am not the best in the sand for sure, but I felt I could do more. But after that first race, I was losing hope because I had a bad start. I was around 15^th in the first corner and then of course Ivo crashed, and I lost a few positions so I was really struggling to find a rhythm; I spent a lot of energy to try to overtake the guys and then I arrived at the back of Jorge and I almost passed him but then I made a small mistake, I crashed and lost positions so I was not really happy about it. But second one I knew I had to stay away from trouble in the first lap. Towards the end of the race the guys in front were a little tired at the end, so after I passed Jorge I said I’ll go for the win. I have to give it everything and try to win because I still had energy and it worked so I am looking forward to another GP”.

“I was not really a hard pack guy but lately, I am really enjoying it more than before. I also found a good setup on the bike. Before I was struggling more. So, I am looking forward to Loket. For sure it is not one of my favourite tracks but I am looking forward to those hard pack races and hopefully we have some public again because it is very nice to ride in front of the public. That’s why we are there, racing”.

Romain Febvre: “I felt like that was my GP. I took two good starts, a holeshot and second and in both races I was second for a long time but trying to pass. I learned to take my time and I took my time but didn’t make the pass happen. In race one I crashed two times and still finished fourth but with crashing two times I could not do any better. That second race, the same thing, I was second and I was faster than Prado who was leading but I made a mistake going down the hill and crashed in the fence, but I got up really fast and went back. Not so much to say. I am happy to be on the podium but when it’s your time to take some points you should not crash so I will learn again and try again next weekend”.

In MX2, there were big expectations of home heroes Roan Van De Moosdijk of F&H Kawasaki Racing and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Kay de Wolf who were among the podium favourites.

As the gate dropped for the opening race, it was Simon Längenfelder of Diga Procross GASGAS Factory Racing who claimed the Fox Holeshot, though about a lap later it was Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jago Geerts who became the new race leader, while Moosdijk and De Wolf were down in seventh and ninth.

Längenfelder then crashed, which allowed Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Rene Hofer through and Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Thibault Benistant to close in.

Van de Moosdijk then caught onto the back of Benistant as he chased fourth place, managing to go through not long after and continue his climb up the order.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider Mattia Guadagnini entered the race as the championship leader though had a tough start and was left fighting outside of the points for much of the race, ultimately managing to get up to 14^th.

Van de Moosdijk then took third from Längenfelder, as Geerts held a comfortable 7.431 second gap to Hofer, with the Austrian coming under pressure from Moosdijk who got around him for second. The Dutchman continued to push, setting a lap time that was almost half a second faster than Geerts’ as he closed in on the leader.

Meanwhile De Wolf then went after Benistant for 5^th place, with the pair having a close battle. Though as De Wolf was looking to go through the pair caught each other and went down.

This presented Jed Beaton of Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing the perfect opportunity to climb up the order, as he got himself in fourth and then chased Hofer and Moosdijk, passing both in the closing stages of the race.

It looked like Beaton could go after the race win, though ran out of time as Geerts took the race win. Beaton was second and Van de Moosdijk third.

In the second race, it was Geerts who secured the Fox Holeshot and was the rider in front, with De Wolf, Guadagnini, Beaton and Honda 114 Motorsports' Ruben Fernandez rounding out the top five.

Meanwhile Van de Moosdijk didn’t have the best start and was down in 12^th, though his day got worse as he was forced to pull out of the race due to a bike issue.

De Wolf then briefly led the race as Beaton got into third, with Fernandez also going through on Guadagnini pushing him to 5^th.

Geerts then got back past De Wolf for P1, though it was De Wolf who was faster and was being encouraged by the Dutch crowd to go for the win. For most of the race about a second separated the pair as they kept things close.

Meanwhile Beaton at one point was the fastest rider on track as he looked to keep the two riders ahead of him within striking distance, though Renaux was also looking to get close to the action.

As the race reached closing stages, all eyes were on Geerts and De Wolf who continued to go at it. On the last lap it looked like De Wolf was going to try one last time to take the race victory, though a little mistake cost him valuable time, and in the end, he had to settle for second as Geerts took the win.

With a 1-1 result, Jago Geerts was the overall winner of the MXGP of the Netherlands, while Jed Beaton’s 2^nd and 3^rd place results put him second overall, with Kay De Wolf joining the pair on the podium for his first MX2 World Championship podium appearance as he placed third.

While Maxime Renaux failed to make the podium, he did however take over the MX2 Championship lead from Mattia Guadagnini who is now 5 points down, after two tough races today, where he finished 14^th and 5^th. Ruben Fernandez is third

Jago Geerts: “I’m really happy with today. Two really good starts, we are on the right tracks. The first heat I passed Längenfelder on the first lap and rode my own race, kept a small gap so that was good. In the second heat, I took the holeshot, but Kay was right there and he passed me but then he had a small crash, but he was still behind me the whole race so he was pushing but I’m happy with the overall win and I’m looking forward to the next race”.

“I’m feeling really good at the moment, the knee is good now so I hope to have a good week of training and then we will see how it goes in Loket”.

Jed Beaton: “I’m obviously happy, the starts were as good as they could have been today, I think they held me back especially in the first one. I got into second and was making a little bit of a charge but obviously it was just too late so that’s that. The second one, I got a better start but just got caught up a little bit in the first laps and then had to put in a bit of a hard charge to take third. And then I was behind Jago and Kay but by the time I got to them they already had quite a good pace and I had spent a bit of energy already and it was quite hot today, so I just didn’t have the energy. It was obviously a good step in the right direction, So I’m pretty happy with that”.

“I guess so. I had a really good off-season but just before the start of the first round it was a little bit difficult and it took me a little bit of a step back, but now I’m feeling like I’m starting to build up again and to be honest I think it’s quite a good time anyway as we are only four rounds into the championship so if I can keep building we will be solid from here on”.

Kay De Wolf: “I feel amazing. I had two very solid races. In the first one I didn’t have such a good start and struggled a bit in the beginning and then had a big crash with Thibault but still managed to get back to fifth. The first race was really good, I was happy with my riding. In the second race I almost had the holeshot, but Jago had two really good starts today. I followed him for the first lap, I made a pass on him and then I tucked the front, which was not how I planned it but still managed to stay second and Jago was really holding a good pace. I tried to pass him on the final lap, but I was completely dead. The last few laps, they were long, but I managed to get on the podium and I’m really happy”.

Maxime Renaux: “I have mixed feelings today, getting my first red plate is a great moment but not being on the podium is disappointing. I had a really tough day today. I had belly pain all day long and the first race I made too many mistakes. In the second corner I was third and washed the front and had to come all the way from the back and then had another crash during the race so that was really tough. In the second race I had a better start but couldn’t find my rhythm in the beginning and then started to feel better and catch Jed, but I couldn’t really get close enough to try anything. I didn’t have the best feeling on track today but still managed to take the red plate which is most important and getting some good points for the championship”

“Now I just take it race-by-race, as we can see today I am not so delighted about getting the red plate because I had a tough day and it was not how I wanted it to be, I just want to take it race-by-race but for sure the red will look nice on the Yamaha and I will try to keep it but the most important is to have it at the end of the season”.

Dear MXGP Friends,

Already three Grand Prix have taken place since our last month edition of the magazine. It is a fantastic feeling of being back on the track. From the black sea to the very typical hills of Maggiora, the MXGP World Championship presented some very exciting racing to the fans that were able to be onsite and to all our TV viewers worldwide at home.

In MXGP, three different winners, Tim Gajser started perfectly the season in Russia, Tony Cairoli proved to everybody that he is still a contender for the 2021 season in the UK and Jeffrey Herlings won his first GP since his injury last year in Italy. The World Championship classification is very tight as 8 riders are within 42 points, with Gajser leading!

In MX2, Tom Vialle was showing a great rhythm to defend his title after Russia, but unfortunately, he got injured during a training session before the Grand Prix of the Great Britain. In MX2 like in MXGP, we got three different GP winners, and the rookie of the class, Guadagnini won on home soil last week and took the read plate of the championship. He is again a great example of our pyramid system, coming from the European Championship with 1 Title in EMX125cc and second last year in EMX250cc. It looks to be very open with 8 riders within 50 points.

Those three Grand Prix events highlighted again the difficulties we are still experiencing for hosting the public onsite. The situation is very different country by country, in Russia we got a full attendance when in UK, it was capped to 4.000 people and Italy unfortunately up to 1.000 attendance. The fact to put in place the green pass throughout Europe with the vaccination campaign will help us to increase the global attendance in the upcoming weeks, but is it still very challenging for all of us.

From the very beginning of the pandemic, we did our best with the organizers, the federations and the FIM to facilitate the access of the public to the events and to adapt ourselves to the national and international regulations concerning the Covid-19 restrictions.

On the digital area, the feedback from the fans on MXGP-TV.com our platform of Live Streaming is very positive. The quality of the service and the fact that fans can watch 100% of the qualifications and the races whenever they want and wherever they are is still very appreciated by the MXGP fans. From the beginning of the season, we also launched a TikTok platform to complete our offer of content on the most popular Social Networks.

Finally, I would like to thank the FIM, the FIM Europe and all the partners of MXGP for their support to our favorite sport!

Don’t forget that you can follow the whole MXGP season on MXGP-TV.com!

See you in Oss!

MXGP of the Netherlands LIVE MXGP-TV Timetable

F&H Kawasaki rider Mathys Boisrame is right in the fight for the 2021 MX2 World Championship, as he sits now in fourth place in the points standings and is just eight points off the red plate of series leader Mattia Guadagnini.

“For sure my goal is to have a good season,” Boisrame said. “It is my last year in MX2 and okay, I am fourth on the points, but it is only the third race. I just want to do my best and focus on that. We have many races, and it is a long season, and we see what it brings, but I don’t want to put pressure on myself, and I just give it my best.”

With 4-2-3-7-8-4 results so far, the Frenchman is doing his best to not make big mistakes, mistakes that cost him major points in the past.

“Yes, that is my problem and already last year we had that, and I work a lot with Marc on that, because I am a little bit like that. I am a rider who pushes and in England when I moved into third and I was pushing really hard to get second and when I passed him, I lost my concentration and made a mistake. We keep working with Marc on that part of my racing.”

F&H Kawasaki team trainer Marc De Reuver works daily with Boisrame and knows that clearing up the small things will make the season much easier for his rider, and he also knows that Boisrame has the potential to lead the MX2 class and even go for the World title.

“Mathys still makes some silly mistakes,” De Reuver said. “But we are working on that, and we are making progress with it. After the second race, that red plate, I don’t care about the red plate, but if Mathys didn’t crash, he had the red plate (after England). Now, not that I focus on that red plate, but I am more disappointed that he left valuable points on the ground, and I talk to him about that. I am not angry with him, because it is still a learning process. He is getting better and better.”

After his worst GP of the year at Maggiora, he now heads into the Grand Prix of the Netherlands, on a sand track and we will see how the hard track specialist performs. No doubt, with De Reuver (who was one of the best sand riders of his era) as his trainer, you can be sure he has taken to sand like a duck takes to water.

“At Maggiora, I had a good gate-pick after fourth in qualifying and I was in a good position in the first corner of race one, but I lost some places at the second corner. I tensed up, suffered a little arm pump and couldn’t ride as I usually do so it was a tough race. I missed a good start in race two, but my rhythm was better as we had changed some suspension settings between the races, and I was able to come back behind Roan. it was a good race on a rough track; not an easy track but I like that. I just woke up too late! But I’m fourth in the standings and feel confident; we’ll continue to work to prepare for the next GP in Oss."

So, keep an eye out for the Frenchman riding the green machine of the Dutch based F&H Kawasaki team, as for the team a home Grand Prix and one they would like Boisrame to get a little closer to that red plate.

MX2 World Champion Tom Vialle will miss this weekend’s Grand Prix of the Netherlands at Oss and the fourth round of 2021 MXGP to recover further from his fractured right hand.

The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider and winner of the opening round of the season in Russia has been advised to remain on the sidelines for the forthcoming fixture. Vialle suffered a small break in his right hand during a training accident prior to the second GP of 2021 in Great Britain. The 20-year-old tried to compete at Matterley Basin and the Italian Grand Prix at Maggiora the following weekend but suffered too much pain and had to withdraw from action.

Vialle’s fracture has almost healed but any further stress on the bone could produce a setback. The Frenchman will therefore eye the Grand Prix of Czech Republic at Loket for a competitive return on July 25th.

Tom Vialle: “The Grand Prix in Oss came just a bit too soon. The bone has not healed 100% so we still need to wait a little before practicing and racing again. We will make another check-up next week and I hope to ride in Loket.”
