MXGP

The MXGP of Sumbawa-Indonesia and Lombok-Indonesia on the 25^th June and 2^nd July will mark a thrilling back-to-back Grand Prix in a country that loves motocross. While Sumbawa already hosted the MXGP of Indonesia for the very first time last season, for Lombok it’ll be the first MXGP event, however the island is not new to motorsports as they used to welcome a round of the MotoGP and WSBK. The Indonesian passion for the sport is incredible with large crowds who come to support and cheer for the best motocross riders in a special and beautiful setting for the whole MXGP paddock. 

West Nusa Tenggara, the area welcoming both rounds, are used to host sports events to increase the local tourism and make the area popular worldwide. According to the UNWTO, a global tourism organization, sport tourism is an important catalyst to increase and recover quickly the tourism industry. Two Grand Prix in Indonesia in 2023 will be special and make the journey worthwhile. 

While an official Press Conference to present the two events will take place on May the 13^th in Jakarta, an opening event took place yesterday at the MXGP circuit in Lombok where West Nusa Tenggara Governor, a member of the KEK Monitoring Team, the Head of the West Nusa Tenggara Tourism Agency, and several officials from the West Nusa Tenggara Provincial Government were present to kickstart the promotion of the two MXGP rounds in Indonesia. 

Taufan Rahmadi, member of the KEK Monitoring Team mentioned how tourism due to sports events has become a global trend: "when we speak about sports tourism, we are speaking about the economy, community, and cultural attraction as well". 

West Nusa Tenggara government, led by Zulkieflimansyah, collaborate with the central government and local governments to promote sports tourism in the area. "I see how the governor put all his efforts in promoting these two international events and how the collaboration between the central government and the local governments became strong. I’m optimistic that the back-to-back MXGP events will not only reverberate in West Nusa Tenggara but also throughout Indonesia in general.

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 9 May 2023 - He has done it! The ‘bullet’ has finally broken the record of GP wins. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings has definitely written his name in motocross history! While he is already considered as one of the legends of this sport, having won 5 FIM Motocross World Championships in 2012, 2013, 2016 in MX2 and 2018 and 2021 in MXGP, this 102th GP win makes it even more official with 61 GP wins in MX2 and 41 in MXGP in 43 different race tracks.

There’s a lot to be said about this incredible record but one of the most striking things is that Herlings had to fight injuries throughout his career with the last one being in 2022 making him miss the whole season. It was a difficult year on the back of his 2021 FIM Motocross World Title as Herlings had to work incredibly hard to get back on a bike. Following months of recovery, the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider arrived in Argentina for the first Grand Prix of the 2023 season for his first official MXGP competition more than a year after his last GP. His magic never left as he managed the incredible feat to clinch the podium without being 100% back to full fitness which shows his level of determination and pure talent. This was a total surprise for everyone including himself but he’s shown again that every time he is on the track something special may happen. 

The MXGP of Sardegna two weeks later, is where Herlings definitely sealed his comeback. His heroic charge in race 2 to go to 2nd and win his 100th GP Victory displayed one of the most epic comebacks in motocross history. Herlings kept showing his unique talent and his speed in Trentino where successively passed all his rivals in incredible fashion, notably his double overtakes on Jorge Prado and Maxime Renaux to take the lead and win race 2 and get his third podium of the season. His 101st GP win was in Portugal as he clinched his second Grand prix of the season (first rider to do it so in 2023). The speed he reached was unequalled once more, as he set the fastest lap of a GP for a second time in a row after Trentino to win the MXGP of Portugal and inching closer the mighty record. 

The 102th GP victory at the MXGP of Spain was at the image of the legend, dominant! Herlings took that occasion to get a perfect 1-1 and go down in history in the best of ways as he showed all his talent to get a back-to-back win and clinched the 102th GP in style. During race 1, had to battle with home hero and Red Plate holder Jorge Prado in an incredible give and take in front of ecstatic Spanish fans. The ‘bullet’ got the last word and kept charging for the lead to overtake Seewer and Guadagnini to win the race. We could sense the tension and excitement rise with the possibility of that historic feat in every people’s mind before race 2. The Dutchman did what he does best and rose to the occasion. He displayed a blistering pace while charging behind Guadagnini and the other home hero Ruben Fernandez. Herlings’ drive to win was immense as he overtook both riders over one lap to take the lead and never give it up. The last lap was marked by fans cheering loudly for Herlings as everyone was conscient of the historical moment for motocross. And like that, Jeffrey Herlings is the most successful Grand Prix winner in history. Hats off to the artist!  

Herlings first competed in the FIM Motocross World Championship in 2010 during the MXGP of Bulgaria in Sevlievo. Since his first MX2 race in Bulgaria at age 15 the Dutchman has gone on to win 102 GP wins. His first ever win was the MXGP of the Netherlands in Valkenswaard only 2 weeks after his debut in Bulgaria.

In 2018, only his second season in the premier MXGP class Herlings has won 31 out of the 38 races. Winning 17 out of 19 rounds he participated in, the other two rounds he settled for second which is incredible in itself. Herlings also shown his drive to win at all cost during his 2021 MXGP World Title. Herlings got injured during the season while Romain Febvre and Tim Gajser were both strong contenders for the title. However, we now know that the ‘bullet’ never gives up as he came back to the competition although not in total shape but with a strong desire to win the crown. Arriving on the last GP of the season in Mantova with Herlings, Febvre and Gajser all levelled on points. This last Grand Prix decider would go down in the annals of history as Herlings went on to ride unbelievable races to win with a perfect 1-1 and get on top of the world with 9 GP wins.

With 102 Grand Prix victories out of 172 Gran Prix raced and 136 Podiums, Jeffrey Herlings put himself forevermore into the legend of motocross, and the legend continues…

INTU-XANADÚ ARROYOMOLINOS (Spain) 7 May 2023 – The MXGP of Spain held all its promises with many fantastic ridings throughout MXGP and MX2. The sixth round of the FIM Motocross World Championship will go down in the history of the sport with the 102th GP win of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings to consolidate his legend.

At the end of the day, Jeffrey Herlings won a back-to-back GP in front of the excellent Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Mattia Guadagnini who got his first MXGP podium of his career and home hero Team HRC’s Ruben Fernandez third on the podium. Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado fourth overall keeps the Red Plate.

In MX2, Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Simon Laengenfelder won with a perfect 1-1 to get his first podium and win of the season in front of Red Plate holder Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 Team’s Jago Geerts and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Andrea Adamo.

Spanish fans made their voices heard throughout the whole day and cheering loudly for their home heroes through all the categories and made this Grand Prix a moment to never forget for the riders as the crowd created this fantastic atmosphere.

In MXGP Race 1, we saw an eventful and great level of riding through the whole race and it was Monster Energy Yamaha factory MXGP Team’s Jeremy Seewer who took the FOX Holeshot and kept the lead for 5 laps. Then the excellent Mattia Guadagnini who has found a great rhythm this week overtook the Swiss on lap 6 but gave up the lead on lap 12 to a Jeffrey Herlings on a mission to break Stefan Everts’ ultimate GP win record. Before that Herlings went into an intense battle with Jorge Prado between lap 3 and 5 as both riders overtook each other in front of ecstatic Spanish fans. Herlings got the last word and kept charging for the win. Herlings won the race in the end.

Prado looked determined to win in front of his home fans and kept attacking first overtaking Seewer on lap 9 for 3rd and then his teammate Guadagnini with two laps to go to finish 2nd. Guadagnini settled for a good 3rd place. Seewer on his part seemed to have lost a bit of energy throughout the race and got overtaken several times until the end going from 2nd on lap 8 to finishing 8th. 

For Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP Team’s Glenn Coldenhoff things starts to align as he showed a good performance again today. He got 5th on lap 1, and stayed consistent until he could overtake his teammate Seewer on lap 9 to finish 4th. Ruben Fernandez had a good start and found himself 6th but couldn’t find a way past Coldenhoff. He managed to capitalise on Seewer’s fading to pass him for 5th and stay there until the end.

Another consistent performance on race for SM Action Racing Team Yuasa Battery MXGP’s Alberto Forato as he rode solidly staying 7th for most of the race until passing Seewer for 6th with 4 laps to go. It was a really similar feat for Team Gebben Van Venroy Yamaha Racing’s Calvin Vlaanderen who shadowed the Italian to finish 7th. 

Ship to Cycle Honda SR Motoblouz’s Valentin Guillod gets used to ride inside the top 10 as he raced in 9th for most part of the race and made one overtake on lap 11, passing MRT Racing Team Beta’s Alessandro Lupino for 9th. Lupino deserved a good 10th place in the end as he showed a good pace throughout the whole race getting only passed once. 

Race 2 started like the first one with Seewer taking his second FOX Holeshot of the day displaying fast starts although it was Fernandez who quickly took the lead after few turns in front of Guadagnini again in 2nd. However, it was to be Herlings’ day as the ‘bullet’ found himself 4th after lap 1 making more and more good starts as the season advances. He took six laps to finally pass Seewer for 3rd. Herlings kept increasing his pace as he sets a couple of fastest laps along the way to inch closer to Guadagnini in 2nd. While Guadagnini had to defend on Herlings with an astonishing pace both riders caught up with leader Fernandez on lap 9. Herlings used that occasion to make 2 overtakes over the course of one lap showing once again his drive to win and his amazing control of his bike. Herlings edged quickly away from them to run to victory and get a perfect 1-1. This GP win was the 102th which broke the mighty record to put the Dutch rider even more into legend territory. 

On his side Fernandez kept his 2nd spot to climb on the third step of the podium in 3rd with a 5-2 giving Spanish fans what they were coming for. Guadagnini showed all his talent and looked calm and composed throughout the weekend going 2-3 for the 2nd overall. The Italian clinched his first MXGP podium of his career. 

Behind them Seewer kept a strong pace this time to finish at a very good 4th place and taking the 6th overall. Seewer also had to contain Prado most of the race. Prado, who did not make his fastest start of the season seeing himself 6th on lap 1, went on to overtake a surprising De Baets Yamaha MX-Team’s Benoit Paturel for 5th. As the compact track made it hard to pass easily Seewer, held his ground and Prado had to settle for 5th in the end, leaving him outside the podium in 4th for the first time this season. Prado keeps the Red Plate and will want to come back to his best in France in two weeks.

After making an amazing start Paturel felt very tidy on this track as he was 5th until lap 4 when he started to get passed several times by Prado first and then the solid Coldenhoff. In the end he settled for an encouraging 9th place and 13th overall. Coldenhoff had another strong race as he managed to get to 6th after passing Paturel and stayed until the end for a 5th overall. 

Behind were Forato who showed a good consistency this week and managed quite a few overtakes to get from 10th on lap 1 to finish 7th, and Vlaanderen continuing his top 10s habits and ending the race in 8th for 8th overall. 

Lupino managed the second top 10 this weekend as he finished 10th and worked hard to overtake several riders including Guillod for the 10th place on lap 9 and stayed there until the end. 

In the end, Jeffrey Herlings showed all his talent to get a perfect 1-1 for a back-to-back win and get to his 102th GP in style. First MXGP podium for the excellent performer Mattia Guadagnini who got second while Ruben Fernandez clinched his first home podium in front of his fans. 

Jorge Prado also showed that even when he is not on the podium, he is riding to high standards to keep his Red Plate.

Jeffrey Herlings: “I am super happy to break the MXGP wins record. The rest of the guys have such a high level so I did not dream to come back so quick. My starts are getting and today went very well. I managed to work my way to the front and feel physically strong until end helped me to overtake in the end of race too. The Spanish fans were also amazing. Now I am already focusing on France in two weeks”

Mattia Guadagnini: “It’s been a long time after my 2nd place in 2021. It took some time to get used to the bike to ride with the best in the world. I couldn’t be happier today. I knew that I always felt great on this track and I knew I needed two good starts. I also tried to focus on my technique and ride smart. So, it is a step in the good direction and I’m really happy. I also want to congratulate Jeffrey on his new records”

Ruben Fernandez: “I didn’t’ have the best start in the first heat and waste a bit of energy trying a lot to overtake Seewer. The second heat I managed to keep a consistent pace and keep my lines. I focus on staying as long as possible near Jeffrey (Herlings) to make sure I kept my distance with riders behind. I felt very supported on every corner of the track which gives you a bit more strength and I’m happy to get on the podium in front of Spanish fans. Thanks to all of them.”

In MX2, race 1 started with Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 Team’s Thibault Benistant clinching the FOX Holeshot and taking the lead in front of Simon Längenfelder. However, Längenfelder’s blistering pace was too much for Benistant as the German overtook him on lap 2. Längenfelder went on to dominate the race increasing his lead the whole way and never got worried. Behind him, the battle for 2nd was really tight between Benistant, Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Kay de Wolf and Jago Geerts. De Wolf managed to pass Benistant and forced him wide on lap 5 to go 2nd. Then on lap 6, Geerts executed a perfect move to pass his teammate Benistant for 3rd. Over the same lap Geerts powered through to pass de Wolf too for 2nd. Right after that de Wolf went off track leaving the door open for Benistant to pass and finish 3rd, de Wolf settled for 4th. 

Andrea Adamo and Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Lucas Coenen found themselves 8th and 9th respectively on lap 1. Both riders showed impressive speed to move up the rank as Adamo manage a good 5th place and L.Coenen 6th place. They both overtook Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Liam Everts who was in front of them until lap 6. Evert kept his 7th place until the end.

The great operation of the race was for F&H Kawasaki Racing Team’s Kevin Horgmo who went 15th on the turn of lap 1 after an average start but the Norwegian did not shy away to overtake many riders. He also managed to overtake the good Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Sacha Coenen on lap 10 for 9th and passed Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 Team’s Rick Elzinga to get to 8th in the end. S.Coenen is finding his rhythm as he managed to finish 9th while Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Roan Van de Moosdijk made a great comeback to get from 17th on lap 1 to catch the 10th place as he overtook home rider WZ Racing Team’s Oriol Oliver with two laps to go. Oliver settled for 11th. Elzinga faded at the end of the race to finish 13th. 

In race 2, Längenfelder took the FOX Holeshot and kept going with the lead never looking back;  he won an emphatic victory with perfect 1-1 for his first podium of the year and his first MX2 win since the first MXGP of 2022 in Great Britain. 

Behind Geerts kept his rank and was the best of the rest with an excellent and solid 2nd place where it stayed throughout the whole race. With a 2-2 Geerts got the 2nd overall while Adamo managed to keep a good pace to not to get worried by riders behind him and settled for 3rd for his 4th podium of the season. 

Finishing 4th and 5th were de Wolf and Benistant respectively. De Wolf put pressure on Benistant over the first three laps to finally forcing a move and muscling his way past Benistant for 4th on lap 4 until the end. Benistant settled for 5th. De Wolf missed the podium with a 4th overall while Beniastant got 5th overall. 

Everts made a good riding going from 9th on lap 1 to 6th in the end and overtaking along the way Elzinga, Van De Moosdijk and benefitting from L.Coenen crash on lap 7. L.Coenen was okay but his bike could not go back on and had to retire from the race while he was 6th and going 14th overall. Elzinga ended up on the 10th place getting a 10th overall and Van de Moosdijk 8th for 8th overall. 

Horgmo kept his momentum from race one as after a poor start, 14th on the turn of lap 1 managed an excellent 7th place for 7th overall. The other good performance of the race was for privateer TEM JP253 KTM Racing Team’s Jan Pancar who solidly took the 9th place of the race and getting 12th overall. 

For the home riders, Oliver ended up 11th overall while F&H Kawasaki Racing Team’s David Braceras got a 15th overall and Racestore KTM Racing Team’s Yago Martinez could not find his rhythm unfortunately, failing to score points. 

Simon Längenfelder: “I enjoyed this track from the first moment. I think I showed everyone that I made some upgrades, it took a lot but I now finally made it. I knew I could do that again after the MXGP of Great Britain in 2022. I am so happy to have shown everyone that I was the fastest today, the training is paying off. We did an amazing job, thanks to all the team my family, and my sponsors.

Jago Geerts: “I didn’t have the best start in the first heat but came back well. In the second race I nearly took the Holeshot but Simon (Längenfelder) was a little bit faster than me so I didn’t take any risk and finished second. I’m looking forward for the next race hopefully keeping it up like that”

Andrea Adamo: “I didn’t’ have my best start today and it was not easy to overtake with riders getting to same good lines along the track. I am still third overall, very good points for the Championship, so let’s keep going on this way!”

Currently fourth in the MXGP Championship Standings, Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP’s Maxime Renaux has withdrawn from the MXGP of Spain, round six of the FIM Motocross World Championship in Madrid, after sustaining a foot injury in the RAM Qualifying Race yesterday.

Despite not falling during the incident, the 23-year-old Frenchman could not continue racing and immediately sought medical attention. The evaluation confirmed he had fractured his right foot.

Renaux will now travel home to France, where he will consult with a specialist to determine the best course of action for his recovery.
