PrintFIM Press Release
Faneza, Italy - The Italian crowd did not let anybody down and they packed the whole track of Faenza to witness how both MX1 and MX2 World Titles were decided. Antonio Cairoli could already celebrate his sixth world Title after race one whereas Jeffrey Herlings did it after the second race. In the UEM EMX Championships, Mel Pocock did not only win the EMX250 Title, but also the Italian round, ahead of Benoit Paturel and Jordan Lacan. In the EMX125 it was home rider Simone Furlotti who obtained the overall victory, and Pauls Jonass and Nicholas Adams completed the top three.
The UEM EMX125 Champion Tim Gajser did not take part in the Italian round, as he decided to race against the MX2 riders this weekend. However, the Slovenian rider was not really fortunate because he crashed in the first race and he had some mechanical problems in the second one.
MX1
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli obtained his sixth FIM World Title today on his home turf, something he had never done before. Cairoli admitted that he was very happy to have been crowned the 2012 FIM MX1 World Title in Italy in front of his crowd, but at the same time he also remembered his mother who had passed away on this day last year. In the first race Cairoli obtained a good gap at the front, but with ten minutes to go he lost his rear brake. However, his strong will to win the Title in such moto helped him to keep on pushing and he finally cross the finish line first. For the second race the Italian was not feeling that good because between the races he had been celebrating the Title, but once again the crowd and his thirst of victory made him won that moto, too.
CP377 Monster Energy Kawasaki Pro Circuit’s Christophe Pourcel raced today in Faenza with still some pain on his fractured shoulder blade, but he was able to ride at the front in both motos with a consistent rhythm. The French admitted that his goal was to finish on the podium this weekend, so he was very satisfied with his second overall place. The future of Christophe Pourcel is still uncertain, but he mentioned that he might be able to reveal it in the upcoming Grand Prix in Teutschenthal, Germany.
For Rockstar Energy Suzuki Word’s Clement Desalle was very good and positive to be back on the podium this weekend, especially because he had been struggling a lot with his hand injury he suffered during the qualifying race at Matterley Basin. The Belgian admitted he still needs to get some mobility back on his hand, but today he did a good start in both motos and he was able to finish third and fourth respectively.
Kawasaki Racing Team’s Gautier Paulin missed the podium for only four points, but the French rider finished the MXGP of Europe with good feelings, as he managed to obtain really good lap times during both races. In the first moto Paulin admitted that he made too many mistakes which made him lose many seconds, so he could only finish seventh, whereas in the second one he started much better and he was able to cross the finish line third.
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Ken De Dycker starred in another incredible recovery especially in the first moto, where he crashed in the opening lap and he managed to move from eighteenth to fourth. In the second race, the Belgian had a better start, but he made several mistakes, which did not let him overtake any rider and had to settle down with such position, which gave him the overall fifth place.
Evgeny Bobryshev had a difficult first race, where he had a bad start and had to push hard from his initial sixteenth position. He did all his best to overtake some riders, but he then got stuck with a group of five riders and he could only finish eighth. Bobryshev started much better in the second moto, but he started struggling with the heat and he decided to assure the sixth position, which gave him the sixth overall place in the Grand Prix.
Sebastien Pourcel, who obtained the pole yesterday, had a really good start in both motos, but in the first one he could not keep the rhythm of the front riders and he finished tenth. However, in the second one he was able to cross the finish line fifth and he ended seventh of the Grand Prix.
Tanel Leok finished eighth overall, whereas Shaun Simpson and Davide Guarneri completed the top ten.
Josh Coppins started fourth in the first moto, but he started losing the rhythm and he could only finish ninth. In the second race the New Zealander was thirteenth, which gave him the overall twelfth place in his comeback to the FIM Motocross World Championship after having obtained the Australian Title.
In the first race Rui Gonçalves was riding with a good rhythm in the seventh place when he suffered a heavy crash and he injured his shoulder blade.

MX2
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings handed KTM the second World Title of the day today, after winning the MXGP of Europe going 1-1. The 17-year-old Dutch rider was really emotional on the podium when the National anthem was on while he was remembering all the ups and downs of his 2012 season and how much the team had helped him to obtain his maiden FIM MX2 World Title. Herlings felt a little bit like home today because loads of Dutch fans had travelled to Faenza to celebrate the Title with him.
Second overall was Team Floride Monster Energy Kawasaki Pro Circuit’s Tommy Searle who finished behind Herlings in both motos. The British rider gave all his best to overtake the Dutch rider at the start of both races, but he admitted that Herlings was faster than him and he could not beat him. His goal for the next weekend will be again to be on the top, so he will be fighting now to finish on the first step of podium in the last Grand Prix of the season in Germany.
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeremy Van Horebeek was a bit disappointed with his performance today, as he was expecting to do much better. After the first race, the Belgian rider admitted that he had struggled a lot with the suspensions and he even crashed at some point, so they decided to change some settings for the second race. Van Horebeek felt much comfortable in the second heat, but he then twisted his knee and he rode with loads of pain until the chequered flag. The Belgian managed to finish third in both motos, so he completed the top three of the Grand Prix of Europe.
His teammate Jordi Tixier did really good starts in both races and he was able to keep the rhythm of the front riders. The French rider was fifth and fourth respectively, which gave him the overall fourth place. The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider has moved back to the fifth position of the MX2 championship, so his next goal now is to fight for a podium finish in the German Grand Prix in two weeks time.
Monster Energy Yamaha’s Arnaud Tonus completed the top five of the Grand Prix after crossing the finish line sixth and seventh respectively. The Swiss rider started seventh in the first race, but he dropped down one position with Nicholls already in the first lap. However, Tonus did not give up and he managed to overtake Nicholls and then Larrieu. In the second moto the Swiss started around the tenth position, and while he tried to overtake some riders he got stuck in a group of four riders and had to settle down with the sixth place.
French rider Romain Febvre obtained another consistent result this weekend in Faenza finishing sixth overall. In the first race Febvre could only finish ninth, but in the second one he did a good start and he kept a solid rhythm until the end, crossing the finish line fifth.
His compatriot Valentin Teillet did not have really good starts today, but he was able to recuperate some positions in both heats to finish tenth and sixth respectively. Teillet ended seventh, ahead of Loic Larrieu, who was making his debut with Team Floride Monster Energy Kawasaki Team, and Jake Nicholls. Julien Lieber completed the top ten.
Zach Osborne finished fourth in the first race, but he had a mechanical problem in the second moto, so he had to pull out from the race when he was riding fourth. The American ended eleventh in the Grand Prix.
Max Anstie could not finish the second race either due to mechanical problems, but his twelfth position in the first moto gave him the overall seventeenth place.

One of Europe’s fastest young racers, 18-year-old Dutch Red Bull KTM rider Jeffrey Herlings talks about his life, his career ... and his occasional outbursts. Page 160.

Monster CUP ...a million bucks ...here for the taking...only our slow National guys, COME AN GET IT......should be easy pickins....
Champion of the also-rans...
JOKE!
I'm looking forward to watching USA race these guys at the MXDN. I hope Baggett puts Herlings in the cheap seats.
Bring on Herlings and lets what he has in MANS motocross.
Not that i don't like Herlings, i just have to root for the red, white, and blue you know?
Herlings is not ready for the U.S. But hi is damm fast on deep sand,i don't think anyone is faster on deep sand as herlings, and hi is 17 years old
Look guys, Herlings ain't a dick or an ass, he's just a child and a little less talented in playing the media than he is in riding a bike. Tonus and Jeffrey had a little history, and he just went and took the idiotic "solution". He has a good teacher (everts) and will eventually turn out to be an okay kid.
Oh yes, btw, I'm a huge fan of American motocross and all. But in the sand, all of u guys are lucky when not getting lapped by Herlings. He's a maniac.
@tonewall hold the MEC at Lirop or Lommel and you could just write the check out now. Or maybe even Southwick (the old Southwick).
Have some of you guys seen JH84 ride sand? If all goes well at the MXoN no one will touch him. Not to mention AC222 in the sand.
@frita
Yea I've seen videos of him, he's fast as hell in that stuff. Thats another reason why I'm looking forward to the MXDN, it should be a good battle. Im rooting for US of course because I'm American, but i`d like to see a battle for sure.
Have any of you guys seen RD, BB, or JB ride in the deep sand? Of course not you are from Europe and will get your wakeup call soon enough. I saw JH on video ride the sand when he lapped up to second place, he looked like a 4th place rider in the sand in the USA. I guess you dudes forgot how Carmichael gave Everts that sand riding lesson one year, well it is going to happen again.
herlins has already beaten RV on hardpack!! lol or dont that count??!!....
usa will win the nations...its the best all round team....but herlins will set a dangerous pace.....
@Britisharmpump, Lol dudee herlins couldn't even beat roczen last year. And rockzen is third over here. Stop talking, your coming off as stupid.
I would love to see our mxdn team go over and clean up in Germany as a warm-up. Alessi, Tomac, and Wiemer should go too.
When were the rules changed at the MXON? USA won last year again,so why is this race not held in the US? I still remember the good ol days when the race would in whichever country won the race the year before.
@Claxton, there isn't a MX race in the deep sand here in the US. Only thing close would be a Offroad race.
Baggett is fast on the hardpack, but showed that he isn't as good on the softer stuff. Also, Herlings is racing mX3 so he will be heads up against Barcis not Baggett.
I take Cairoli overall MX1 Dungey 2nd.
I don't think there is any comp for Baggett in MX2, so if he doesn't take the win it should be embarassing.
Herlings allday MX3 with Barcia 4th
USA overall win.
@Jrod907, Herlings killed Roczen by over a minute in the sand last year. Oh wait the best 250 rider in the sand this year isn't even going(Tomac).
@Jrod907 Roczen haven't won Any sand gp last year it was Herlings, and 2010 it was Herlings too at à age of 15. Herlings beat RV last year with only third gear left
When Europeans come here all I ever hear is they need 3 years to get use to our tracks. However when Americans go to Europe they whomp your butts the first time out.
pizzscorner, you are a douchbag, but you already know that, right?. Cairoli is no also ran. Have a bit of respect for a great MX´er, even if you can´t see further than your own back yard, mainly because you are an inbred retard. I´m going to pi$$ myself laughing when the champ of the "also rans" hands the AMA NATIONAL champ his arse at Lommel, which is going to happen, trust me.
Nobody, with the exception of Herlings, beats Tony in Lommel, period.

You mean, like Fontanesi did this weekend? LOL.
the usa is a bigger country then europe so they can say that they have the best riders but for example holland is much smaller than the state california and they have to pick there best riders in small country s but annyway i love to see the best americans ride the nations because we don t see them to much i would love to see them more over here and when they winn they deserve it. I hope to see a nice race in lommel at the nations and what ever team win they disserve it . So RESPECT for al those who are riding and lets have a good weekend in lommel and have fun.
That s what motocross should be and don t talk bad off riders they do all there best so RESPECT them and where they come from timboektoe or rusia america holland germany britan mexico dosent matter
patjeja this statement sums you Americans up "the usa is a bigger country then Europe" sorry dude but Europe is a continent not a country, and the second dumb ass comment from you "for example holland is much smaller than the state California" Holland is a bloody country just the same as the usa, until you yanks wake up and see that the mxdn is a country vs country race not ama vs the worlds i lose all respect for your arguments, if we had top 15 ama vs top 15 worlds then we would see what is the best series and who is the fastest rider. Claxton please tell me who these Americans are that come over and whop our ass in the worlds, there have been more European and rest of the world riders to win an ama series in recent years then there has been Americans to win the worlds, 1994 and Bobby Moore was Americas last world motocross champion. in that time there has been 4 riders who started in the worlds win ama titles Greg Albertyn 96, South Africa Grant Langston 2003 & 2007 Chad Reed 09 and 1 brit Dean Wilson, not to mention the 4 non u s womans champions. so patjeja you talk about respect i think its about time you yanks start giving some out as for years we world mx fans enjoy watching team usa come over for the mxdn but all that seems to come from your side of the pond is abuse about our champs and our series. so good luck to all teams at the mxdn including team usa and i hope for some good clean racing.
@ dano888
i think the only dumb as$ is u.... did u nt read the part were he said "i would love to see them over here" talkn about the americans??? i think u needa have another read before u get on your american hating horse. BTW im not from the USA and ur a dickhead.
Hey dano888, I meant we whomped you in the MXON the only time our top riders go there. why would our top riders go to a second rate series to ride when the best competition and money is here dude? Most Amercians are tired of the Europen excuses every year that is the problem. Soon it will be shut up time again which makes me happy. LOL
To all americans wo have a fart in their head... Herlins and Cairol will be the fastest in MXON 2012!!! And team Belgian will win the cup!! I'm not a american hater but, Lommel was no joke! I think Dungey (my second favorite rider after Cairoli) will be fast to!
@MX_MOBSTER if he is from Europe and is calling Europe a country then he is a dumb ass ha ha ha, i don't hate the Americans at all they year on year they produce some of the best racers in one of the best series in the world, my point was most people from the continent of Europe agree with that. what pisses us off is the Americans attitude towards our riders and series. after all your series is only a national, the riders in the worlds are every bit as good as the riders in the ama if both series mixed it would be a very hard series to win. @Claxton you cant compare any thing about the 2 series or riders on what happens in the mxdn due to riders riding with tactics for there teams in mind, i personally think this years mxdn will be close seeing as you Americans have no track that comes close to the rough deep sand of Lommel BUT team usa are three fantastic riders and if any team will win it they will have to beat team usa.
@Claxton 1 more thing you may think that our series is second rate mate but its the only series in the world where you can become a motocross WORLD champion.
dano888 said, "its the only series in the world where you can become a motocross WORLD champion".
Yip, and that´s what burns their ar§es, big time. LOL.
MXON will be great this year... Even if i would bet my money on the us because no other country has such a great team but it is going to be a much harder one for them.
Dungey is the only us rider who might have a shot at an overall in his class. but MX2 or MX3 is going to be a Euro-deal...
Can't wait to see your faces, when herlings is going to lap barcia, which wouldn't suprise me a lot. MX2 will maybe be the day for van Horebeek or even roczen, who was really strong at the last mxon's.
danno888, you are not a world champion LMAO. Thats just hype and lying because the last time I looked the USA is in the world. Now let me see you had 2 WORLD champions over here this year and what did they get in the 250 learning class? Fouth and Fifth, So that is your WORLD champs at work. I am so glad the MXON is in the deep sand and in Europe because that is to Europes advangtage and we will see who the champs are. YES SECOND RATE.
Owl28, Lap Barcia LMAO, he won't be racing little Tommy in the MXON dude. I would bet money he wont come close to lapping Barcia, in fact he might get Bam'd before the day is over.
@euromike dano.....were not interested in names as much as we are about whompin your butts every SINGLE year.....just thank your lucky stars were not sending RV and Tomac (no disrespect to our team)...and if you think in your wildest dreams that ANYONE is lapping ANY of our team seek psychiatric help...your delusional......
All the USA vs Euro stuff is funny. here in the USA we have a population of over 300 million people. What is Europes population.
Yet even in the AMA National series 3 of the top 6 riderr in the 250 class are not american riders. I count Wilson because he Won the American series last year.
In the big bike Class there is Chad Reed(Australian by the way) who has won a AMA National MX Title and could not get a title in the GP's.
Ben Townley, CP377 have also faired pretty well here when healthy.
Please Name an AMERICAN rider who has gone to Europe and been successful in the last 10 years? Moto wins? Overalls? Titles?
Here is another thing. Even when the GP was held at Glen Helen on a AMA off week, the only top tier guy that showed up was Alessi. And how did he fair against all the Euros on a track that he knows. Yeah thats right, Cairoli beat him.
strange how some americans...i repeat some!!....forget facts!!!
fact...herlins has already beaten RV on hard pack
fact...herlins is slower on hard pack
fact...KROC who you all dont rate court and passed RD..who you do rate!!
fact..BB wined that france was the ruffest fastest track he had seen!! said it on tv!!...WTF will he say when he sees lommel after 1st practice!!!!
to say the world champs is 2nd rate..is stupid....it is a fact that the USA isnt dominateing any more....they win the nations becaues its a team event!!...not becaues there winning by 40secs up the track !!!the gap between AMA and FIM is closer than its ever been.....the gap between the guys who win a title here and who win there is little or none....i bet the only americans that know how hard and how fast the 2nd rate euros are are RV RD BB....they wont be thinking its easy....they know what you clearly cant see!!!!
to "Not4show"... bravo!! great comment!
Team USA should win the MXdN every year. There is no reason with the amount of talent and resources that we shouldn't. But to say Eruope and the rest of the world doesn't stand a chance for class wins is a joke. Guys like Cairoli, Herlings, Desalle, Pourcel are all incredibly fast. All 3 motos are going to be must see action. Dungey/Cairoli moto 1 nice and fresh. Herlings/Barcia/Roczen/Musquin/Baggett moto 2, with Moto 3 having everythin on the line and MX1 and MX3 on the track Dungey/Caroili/Herlings and Barcia with something to prove thats going to be a good moto.
Did I forget to mention Reed, Townley won't be there to fight for a win this year, yeah it sucks but hey, Reeds broken leg was the only Reason RV won the SX title this year.
This is awesome. I can see how the USA winning too much can be annoying. Some of us should try being a bit more gracious with our successes. We just had a very successful Olympics and we have a great shot at winning the MXDN again so lets just be happy with that and move on. Although some of us might be ProKeyboarders its not us doing the work and making it happen but our fellow countrymen (and women). Best of luck to all countries. PS - Barcia wont be getting lapped
PS. Barcia wont be getting lapped, Bagget will pr'lly fustrate the field when he flies past them sometime around 1/2 way and RD... Well you know what RD is going to do.
Claxton yes America is in the world, now lets see the world mx seres travels all over the world racing on all different types of tracks, your ama series stays in America hence why your champions are not world champions. when i do something i wanna try to be the best i can at it and nothing says your the best more then your a world champion, now i will say that the ama has some of the best riders in the world and have produced some of the best ever riders we see that over here we know that rv would have come over and won titles we know dungey could and we appreciate when they do come over, BUT some and i do mean some of you America fans cannot see past your own back yard and put down our world champs and might i just add your world champs as well, cause even though you country is so big and so great its not the world its just a part of it.
Not4show well said good to see that not all America fans appreciate all motocross riders all over the world.
For all the American bashers, I just want to say that I live in Canada and that only the blind could think that Americans overall would not have the best team in the mx world. How many times year after year does this has to be proven? The rules have been bent so many times in the Europeans favor, only to have the Americans win again and again. I don't discredit euro racers at all, but as a team, good luck trying to beat the US.
pizzacorner, tonewall, Claxton and b787tech ohhhh dear there was lapping our second rate champions beat your "fastest on the planet" (said in an american accent) champs, ha ha ha love it then you go and give us the ryder cup later in the day ha ha ha, love it.
