I was getting a bit tired but with my experience I could save some energy in parts of the track and could keep Jeremy behind me. In the first moto I was very happy with my riding and in the second I had a holeshot and could mostly control the race. “I did everything I could to be on the podium. “Coming here I was hoping for a good bounce-back after some tough races but I got sick on Saturday night and Sunday was difficult,” said Cairoli. With this win Cairoli celebrates his 94th Grand Prix victory, hopefully not the last in his final MXGP season.
#MXGP 2021 CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS SERIES#
The top three (Herlings, Febvre, Gajser) are now separated by only three points in the series championship. Herlings finished 11th overall and cost him valuable points. The overall results placed Cairoli first, Gajser second, and Febvre third. Late in the race Prado and Jonass (GasGas) came together and the KTM rider pulled out of competition, logging a 30th in race two.Īt the line it was Cairoli taking the win, Seewer in second, and Gajser in third. The trio of Gajser, Herlings, and Febvre made their way past Coldenhoff (Yamaha) in third but did not have the pace to catch Seewer and Cairoli at the front. This mistake dropped him back to fifth as Gajser got around the Dutchman. Drama unfolded behind them as Herlings moved up to fourth place but fell once again late in the race. Tony Cairoli grabbed the holeshot in race two ahead of Jeremy Seewer (Yamaha) and never looked back. Gajser and Cairoli finished second and third respectively. The Kawasaki rider passed Gasjer for the lead and held on to claim his fifth moto win of the season. Febvre was on a charge in race one as he made his way around both KTM’s of Cairoli and Prado. Prado has been open about riding injured so it was no surprise to see him hand over the lead and later finish fifth. Jorge Prado (KTM) took control early on but was passed by Gasjer. Unfortunately for ‘The Bullet”, a crash at the start of race one damaged his throttle and forced him out of the race, scoring no points in the process. Jeffrey Herlings (KTM) entered the mid-week race with the red plate, 24 points over Romain Febvre (Kawasaki) and 27 ahead of Tim Gajser (Honda). Tony Cairoli won Wednesday’s race, his 94th Grand Prix victory. Unpredictable racing action saw the world championship points standings tighten up while Red Bull KTM team mates Tony Cairoli and Rene Hofer scored overall victories. The MXGP of Pietramurata was the second of three rounds to be held in Trentino this week, a Sunday, Wednesday, Sunday triple-header.

The MXGP racers completed round 15 of their World Championship series this Wednesday in Trentino Italy.
