I had two decent races, good riding.”Īustralian Jed Beaton (Husqvarna) and Austria’s Rene Hofer (KTM) rounded out the top five overall. “I did not come here to contend for the, but at the end I managed to finish with a third overall which is amazing. In the second race I was leading, and I managed to win the race.”ĭenmark’s Mikkel Haarup (Kawasaki) announced his arrival to the class by pulling down two third-place finishes for third overall. “During the first race I felt really comfortable in first, but then I made a mistake on a jump. “I started the season really good,” Vialle said. I had a really good start in second heat, and I just battled for the lead I had a crash and beat my shoulder a bit so I came back to fourth, but I’m super happy, I feel like my riding is really good now.” “At the first heat I had a small gift from Tom. “It’s really a good feeling to pick my first overall win here in Matterley Basin,” Geerts said. His 6-1 tally gave the Frenchman second overall. Vialle was also leading the first moto and was heading to a certain win when he fell and finished sixth. He managed to work his way up to fourth, which was good enough to give Geerts the overall victory for the day, edging out Red Bull KTM’s Tom Vialle, the race-two winner. In MX2, Belgium Jago Geerts (Yamaha) started things off with a win in the first moto but a crash in the second moto left him with a sore shoulder and places to make up.
Febvre, however, is expected to race the next GP at Valkenswaard. (KTM bought the GasGas brand last year.)įormer MXGP Champion Romain Febvre was set to make his Kawasaki debut at Matterley Basin but a knee injury prevented that from happening. GasGas made its MXGP debut and came away with eighth overall in the hands of Dutch rider Glenn Coldenhoff. But he charged through the field to finish a respectable seventh.įrenchman Gautier Paulin (Yamaha) was sixth overall, followed by Clement Desalle (Kawasaki) of Belgium. Evans went down early in the first moto, completing the first lap nearly dead last. In his debut race, Evans took third in the first moto, turning a lot of heads. Seewer ended up fourth overall with a 2-8, and Honda HRC’s new young star Mitchell Evans of Australia rounded out the top five. I wanted to go out this round taking easy and see what I could be capable of and eventually it was a good weekend, and I’m happy to be on the podium” The track was very challenging, especially during the second race. “My shoulder is getting better, but, unfortunately, I twisted my knee in training, but I’m thankful I did not come out with a lot of pain today. The Italian went 4-3 on the day for third overall. Third overall went to veteran racer Cairoli who suffered a shoulder injury last year and was slowed by a knee injury during the offseason.
WHEN DOES MXGP 2020 COME OUT FULL
Gajser will have his hands full at the next GP, which will be held at Valkenswaard, Herling’s home track. “I’m just disappointed for my first race as I crashed twice, but at the second race I had a good start from the beginning, I made a quite comfortable win.” “Overall I’m super happy to finish on the podium,” Gajser said. I made a 1-2, we have improved a lot also as a team as my bike is getting better and better.” “I said I did not need to win every GP this year, but it was a good day. “Definitely there is no better way to start the season than to start with a win,” Herlings said. Herlings managed to get around his teammate, Antonio Cairoli, for second place, which was more than enough to claim the day’s overall victory over Gajser.
Gajser, however, bounced back in the second moto, jumping into the early lead and running off with the win, while Herlings spent much of the race making up for a bad start. However, Gajser looked strong while battling near the front of the pack before falling on the last lap and dropping to eighth, while Herlings took the win 11 seconds clear of runner-up Jeremy Seewer (Yamaha) of Sweden. Unfortunately for Gajser, a couple of falls in the first moto ruined his bid to start of the season with the overall win. In the MXGP class, veterans Tim Gajser (Honda HRC) and Jeffrey Herlings (Red Bull KTM) showed championship-winning speed, with former champ Herlings beating out the defending champ, Gajser, for the overall win. Jeffrey Herlings won the opening MXGP at Matterley Basin in Great Britain. The 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship got underway beneath sunny skies at the Matterley Basin Circuit in Great Britain, March 1, and while familiar faces made it to the top step of the podiums, new ones also made their showing in the season opener. Jeffrey Herlings and Jago Gaerts topped the 2020 Great Britain MXGP overall results in MXGP and MX2 respectively.
