MXGP of Lommel

With four rounds to go in the 2020 MXGP championship Team HRC rider Tim Gajser continued to build on what would be his fourth world motocross championship in six years. Smooth, consistent and getting his mistakes down to a minimal have been the main goals for the defending MXGP champion as he looks stronger and stronger heading into the 14^th round of this very unusual season.

The last month has been kind to Gajser with 1-2-3-2-2-1-1-3 his race finishes as he steams forward and makes a large points gap between himself and his rivals. Those rivals include nine-time World champion Antonio Cairoli and two-time World champion Jorge Prado, so yes, the competition is hot. Being smart now is the most important element of the countdown to November in Italy.

“Definitely and it is important to ride clever” Gajser said. “This year is a strange year with Covid. I mean the schedule of the GP and everything is different, and my approach is different. As a racer I want to win every time I go out on the track, but you have to be clever out on the track. Sometimes you have to settle for second, third, fourth or even fifth and not go over your limit. So definitely what you said, and even here in Lommel, the track is different and brutal and the sand was heavy and the track was really rough, so it was important to carry momentum around the corner and ride smooth.

As for yesterdays Grand Prix, despite a crash while leading the second race, and looking likely to win his third GP in a month, the HRC man was happy with his results.

“Overall, I’m quite happy with the day. My riding was good, and my speed was good in both races, I just made that small mistake after I passed Prado to go into the lead in race two. I didn’t even crash, I just went off the track into the banners and lost 20 seconds. After that, I regrouped for a lap before picking up the speed and passing guys in front of me. My lap times were a lot faster than the leaders and I closed right up, it’s just a shame I ran out of laps. So yes, it was a good day, winning a race and showing speed again in race two. I am very much looking forward for Sunday as I’m really enjoying riding in the sand and hopefully, I can continue to get up onto the podium again.

With the finale of the 2020 season in just four weeks’ time, the HRC champion finds it hard not to think about the outcome of the season and that another motocross World championship is just around the corner.

“Yes, it is difficult not to think about that, it isn’t easy to put that on the side and not think about that. Of course, I want to do that, because a lot is happening, and we have a lot of races, but in three weeks it will be over. My focus is taking it for each GP, have fun, enjoy it, ride like I know, but the championship is in the back of my mind, but I am trying to think just about the racing, and getting good starts, because this year starts are very important, because so many guys are on a similar speed and it isn’t easy to pass. I just try and focus on the day and enjoy it.”

So now, with one final Lommel to wrap up, and a trip back to Trentino, the same place he won his first ever Grand Prix, in 2015, Gajser will again look for the same success at the Italian circuit has he has had in the past. Those great battles with Antonio Cairoli might be revisited as the Italian legend is again finding his form after a couple of mixed Grand Prix performances.

LOMMEL (Belgium) 22 October 2020 – The FIM Motocross World Championship is back for the last Grand Prix of the Belgian triple-header, as the series carries momentum into the 15^th round with the MXGP of Lommel!

At the beginning of our Belgian run, the riders were treated to a brand-new track layout of the popular sand circuit, which many of the top riders have gotten to know very well over the years, due to the fact that many of the teams are based in Lommel or close by. This weekend the track will undergo further changes to present the riders with new challenges!

The main changes will be focused on sectors three and four, giving the track a different look which will make for some interesting racing.

Heading into the last GP of the Belgian trio of races, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado will no doubt be chasing his fourth overall victory of the season, having won at the previous GP here in Lommel.

The Spaniard has been looking extremely strong in the second half of this season, and now is just two points down on his teammate, Antonio Cairoli, for second in the championship. Though Cairoli won’t make it easy for him, as he was looking more comfortable during yesterday’s races while he challenged Prado for the race win in the second heat.

For the series leader, Tim Gajser of Team HRC, the focus will be on enjoying the races and that overall victory, which he unfortunately missed out on yesterday, due to a mistake in the second race while he led the way. He finished second, though still managed to extend his championship lead to 55 points, which gives him more breathing room for the next few races.

The Slovenian is enjoying his time in the sand, which he confirmed himself during yesterday’s post-race press conference. For Gajser, a few silly mistakes are what’s costing him a solid and consistent results, as he’s won two out of the four races here in Lommel so far. But more can be expected from the defending champion as he will be pushing for the perfect 1-1 scorecard to get back on top of the box this weekend. 

Dutch rider, Brian Bogers of Marchetti Racing Team KTM has been looking strong the last two GPs as he has finished consistently 6^th overall, which is his best result in MXGP since he made the move up in 2019. Bogers started the races on pole after dominating the time practice session and then finished the race 7-5 for 6^th overall.

Now with the final race here in Belgium, it would be good to see him continue his battle at the top end of the field and maybe even het himself on the podium once again, since his last was in Russia 2017, back when he was in MX2.

Calvin Vlaanderen of Gebben Van Venrooy Yamaha Racing had two solid top 10 results yesterday, as he finished the races in 6^th and 9^th which gave him 7^th overall, putting him among some of the top names in the series, during his rookie season.

Then there’s Romain Febvre of Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team and Jeremy Seewer of Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing who both have pushed hard in the last two GPs to edge closer to a podium finish.  Febvre was tied on points with Cairoli for the podium (38 points), though he crashed in the later stages of the second race, which cost him valuable points and a spot on the podium. But there is no doubt that the Frenchman will regroup and come back fighting for the next races.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle will enter the last Belgian GP with confidence as he will look to make it 3 out of 3 wins here in Lommel, after winning the last two GPs. The Frenchman has been pretty consistent, with two race wins and two second place finishes so far. He has been riding well not making any big mistakes which have paid off massively as he now leads the championship by 61 points, over Jago Geerts of Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing, who has lost some ground during the last few races.

For Geerts, the previous GP was a mixture, as he crashed in both races while in the lead. In the first race he was able to make an impressive recovery and get back to the top, though in the second race he couldn’t do the same and finished 7^th which put him third on the podium and lost some valuable championship points.

His teammate, Ben Watson has been on a high recently as he claimed two consecutive podiums in Lommel so far. The Brit has been looking very strong, with his starts being the only downfall, especially in the races yesterday, as he had to fight back in both heats. 

He clearly has the speed, as he proved it, especially in the second race as he caught up with the leaders after starting outside the top 5. His pass on F&H Kawasaki’s Roan Van de Moosdijk was also impressive and showed that the Yamaha rider was not looking to mess around. Watson was third during the Monster Energy MXGP of Flanders, then second overall during the MXGP of Limburg, so it will be interesting to see if he can secure an overall victory this time around.

Roan Van de Moosdijk had a tough start to the races yesterday, as he was pushing well inside the top 3 when his bike stopped which forced him out of the race and cost him the chance of going after the podium, which we would have had a good go at, as he finished the second race third.

Diga Procross GasGas Factory Juniors rider Isak Gifting had some more positive results at the previous GP, as he finished 4^th overall and just 7 points from his first MX2 podium.
