Cairoli and Herlings take double moto victories in MXGP of Italy!
Red Bull KTM factory riders Tony Cairoli and Jeffrey Herlings made it a weekend for KTM to remember at the MXGP of Italy on the iconic track at Maggiora, both taking double moto victories on Sunday to move further ahead in their respective MXGP and MX2 championships. Herlings’ factory teammate Jordi Tixier was also back in fighting form finishing 33 behind in Herlings to give the factory team a 12 overall result in the MX2 class.
It was an emotional occasion for Red Bull athlete Tony Cairoli, who has never won at the northern Italian circuit before and who admitted before the race that it was not one of his favorite tracks. But on a weekend when thousands of fans lined the hills around the circuit to support him, and who generated noise and greeted him with a sea of Italian flags and banners, the seven times world champion did not put a wheel wrong.
Cairoli, in his fluorescent race gear and hallmark yellow boots was fast out of the gates, took early control of both races on his KTM 350 SXF and never looked like anything but an absolute winner. The Italian won each moto by a margin of more than four seconds, in each case from Jeremy van Horebeek, who was second overall. Kevin Strijbos was third overall to also make it a good day on the minor podiums for the Belgian duo.
Cairoli: “It’s always special to win a home GP especially on this historic track and with all these people. Normally you only see a crowd like this at the Motocross of Nations. Its good for our sport and the public was great so it was amazing for us all.”
Cairoli, with 443 points from the ten rounds so far is aiming for his eighth title and now has a 38point lead in the championships. Clement Desalle is second and van Horebeek is currently third. Carioli’s MXGP teammate Ken de Dycker had an encouraging weekend moving up to fourteenth in the standings and registered a good seventh place on the KTM 450 SXF in the second MXGP moto. De Dycker of Belgium is working hard to find form after a long injury break...
