Romain Febvre and Tim Gajser top Swedish MXGP
Traction was hard to come by as the complex gravel track of Uddevalla made for another set of manic results in the 2015 FIM Motocross World Championship. The impressive crowd that flooded the rocky mountainous hillside was peaking as Yamaha Factory Racing Yamalube’s Romain Febvre and Honda Gariboldi’s Tim Gajser claimed their fourth grand prix overall victories.
“I am riding the dream and I hope I don’t wake up until the end season,” were the words of Yamaha Factory Racing Yamalube’s Romain Febvre immediately after he sealed the deal on his first double race victory and fourth overall victory of the season. The Frenchman is a total animal on super slick surfaces. He isn’t afraid to lay the power down and let the rear wheel slide which is a skill he can do a lot faster and better than anyone in the class. After reaching another milestone with his perfect score, Febvre has tightened his grip on the championship and now has an impressive thirty-nine point lead over Tony Cairoli.
Yamaha Factory Racing Yamalube’s Jeremy Van Horebeek is known to excel in super slick and rocky conditions, which is exactly what the riders were faced with today. Putting together a second and a fifth, Jere landed on the box for his first podium finish since the MXGP of Czech Republic last year where he took his first MXGP class overall.
After starting from the back of the pack in race one Rockstar Energy Suzuki World MXGP’s Kevin Strijbos was forced to be creative in order to carve his way through the pack and get some decent points on the board. Eighth was the best he could do in that race but bounced back strong in race two when he went bar-to-bar with Febvre around turn one and emerged in the lead. The Kid, who was yesterday’s qualifying race winner, led most of race two but came undone when the relentless 461 saw an opening and took it. Nevertheless the Belgian finished a commendable second for his third consecutive podium finish since his return from injury.
Flying the flag for the Aussies, Wilvo Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Dean Ferris and Red Bull IceOne Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Todd Waters were both on the gas this weekend. Ferris, who was unable to train at the start of the season due to shin splints, is starting to come into his own as we dive into the second half of the season, as is Waters who landed on the podium for the first time in his career one round ago at the MXGP of Italy. The Australians managed to round out the top five this weekend with Ferris beating Waters by one point.
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli is still dealing with an arm injury that is preventing him from riding like the Tony we all know and love. Regardless, Tony is a champion through and through and he proved it with his impressive third place in the final race for seventh overall. As for his teammate Tommy Searle, the Brit made his return to MXGP this weekend but had a strange crash while running inside the top ten has left him with a suspected injury to the elbow.
The only Swede in the championship 24MX Honda Racing’s Filip Bengtsson made his MXGP return this weekend. Despite running a good pace, he faded back in both races and finished the weekend in seventeenth overall.
Romain Febvre – 1st and 1st for 1st overall – “The weekend was really great. I had won three in a row coming here but had not gone 1-1, so to do that is so good. The start was important to be able to reach the lead, ride safe and find good lines. In the second race I had the holeshot but because I went a little bit wide Kevin came inside. I knew it would be difficult to pass him because we had a nice battle on Saturday. I made a couple of mistakes and in my mind I was thinking second was enough to win the GP but after two laps I was again on his rear wheel so I decided again to try and pass and made it happen with three laps to go. The start is getting very important every race and we all have the same speed. We had some testing last week and we improved a lot our performance for the starts and also on the track. We will see…this weekend went pretty good so we can be happy with the job we did.”
Jeremy Van Horebeek – 2nd and 5th for 2nd overall – “It has been a while! There was a lot of pressure at the beginning of the season but then I broke my foot and it was difficult to come back from that and I was struggling mentally and thinking ‘why is this happening to me?’. I regrouped and have been working really hard and it has been starting to pay off in the last weeks. I am still not totally satisfied however…I know I can do better.”
Kevin Strijbos – 8th and 2nd for 3rd overall – “A podium is good! I wasn’t too happy with the first race though. I made a small mistake on the second corner and got pushed wide and dropped back to 15th. I made another mistake by myself and it was tough to pass. You needed a good start and that’s what I did in the second moto. I got into a fight with Febvre and it was tough because he was so fast in some places. I was trying to hold on and got some cramps in my legs by the end, which meant I was pushing the limit. I tried to fight back but couldn’t but; anyway, it was a good ride by him and a good result for me to be on the podium again.”
Dean Ferris – 6th and 4th for 4th overall – “It’s hard to fault this weekend. Getting my best overall result of the season here in Uddevalla for Husqvarna is brilliant. I would love to have got onto the podium – that’s my goal every time I race – but to end this MXGP just two points shy of it is very pleasing. I feel like I’ve got my starts dialled in now – I was top three both races – and that was a massive help on a tricky track like this. I rode great in race two and had a long battle with Antonio Cairoli while holding off pressure from behind. So overall it’s been good and I’m already keen to get to Latvia for next weekend.”
Todd Waters – 4th and 7th for 5th overall – “I definitely feel like the confidence is building every time I’m out on track. The team has been working hard and with a few things we’ve changed and stepped up in training the results are coming more consistently. Race one was real good. My start wasn’t perfect but I was picking good lines and riding a smart race to work my way forward. Coming from about seventh or eighth to fourth on a difficult track like this was good. I wanted the same in race two but the watering of the track made it like an ice rink in places and the early laps were a bit sketchy. Once things settled down I wasn’t able to gain any ground and had to settle for seventh. But top five overall is a good positive to bring into Latvia.”
Glenn Coldenhoff – 9th and 6th for 8th overall – “I had a good start in the first moto and a solid first lap. I was eighth behind Philippaerts for a long time and couldn’t pass him. There was only one fast line. I was trying so hard to go inside and outside but nothing worked and in the end Strijbos passed me! I had a really good jump out of the gate in the second moto but leant back a bit too early and wheelied; for this reason I didn’t get the holeshot! I was then riding the whole moto in sixth place. Waters came close at the end but I kept the position. I could not believe how much water was put on the track. On the sighting lap it was just running down the hills. I think it was a solid GP and I’m really looking forward to Latvia now because I have a good feeling there.”
Gautier Paulin – 5th, 10th – 9th overall – “In the races today, the place you start was the place you finish, pretty much, with just one or two passes. Otherwise you have to take too much risk to do something more and we can see all the crashes there have been today. I crashed once in the first moto and twice in the second which is way too much but on this type of track it was just like on or off – I didn’t even know and I was on the ground. Now we keep putting in the work and go to Latvia for a better weekend.”
Tyla Rattray – 11th overall – “Obviously this weekend didn’t start so great on Saturday with some crashes, but it is what it is, that’s part of the sport. I did my best today and got a twelfth position in each moto so I’m quite happy as I was not sure what I could do with my back injury. I still have a lot of pain, the muscles are still a little bit tender, I just have to work hard on it and see week after week how it’s going. I’m happy that I could ride again here, now we’ve one week more now before Latvia and I hope it will be even better. I practiced just a little bit before coming here, just taking it very easy; my first day of training I was scared as the feeling was not good when I returned home after Teutschenthal. I will keep working hard this week and later in the season; I will announce that I will stop racing at the end of the season and I want to end my career strong with good results.”
Nathan Watson – 12th overall – “I’m happy to be back out on track again. I’ve been out of the MXGP since round four so just being back racing is a positive for me. My target is the top ten and this weekend I got close to achieving that. Ninth in timed training was a good confidence boost. Unfortunately my starts weren’t strong enough and in race one I had to fight back to 11th. Race two was going similarly well but I caught a side panel in a deep rut and it was flapping about. It unnerved me somewhat and I backed things off a little to make sure I got home in one piece.”
Evgeny Bobryshev – DNF, 8th 13th overall – “To be honest, today has not been a positive day. The track was really bad condition by the end and with so many bumps and ruts, it becomes quite dangerous for the riders. For me the first race was a shame because I was in second after a good start, but then I lost control and damaged the clutch lever so had to stop. In the second race I could close up, but I just stayed in the same place where I started because there was no line or place to pass.”

MX2
Honda Gariboldi’s Tim Gajser is starting to become a fixture on top of the MX2 podium. After keeping the championship leader, Jeffrey Herlings, honest in race one, Gajser capitalized on the error of Jeffrey Herlings, and left everyone in a cloud of crumbled rock roost for the race win and overall victory. Gajser now matches Herlings in overall grand prix victories this season but still trails him by seventy-eight points.
Despite having two lousy starts, Yamaha Standing Construct Yamalube’s Valentin Guillod was one of the fastest guys on the track. “Herlings went down in front of me and I hit him and bent my gear shifter so I had to ride changing gears with my heel. On the first laps I had to learn to use it like that so it took me some time to figure out how to do it”, Guillod said after race two. Regardless of the problems he faced, the Swiss rider has a super smooth and really calm throttle hand which works well on the surface he was faced with today and assisted him in leapfrogging through the pack for third and fourth, second overall.
Rockstar Energy Suzuki Europe’s young Swiss rider Jeremy Seewer reached another career milestone with his second place in race two being the best race result of his career. His third podium finish of the season has added his name to the list of next generation superstars.
Honda J-Tech’s Vsevolod Brylyakov remarkably managed to stay out of trouble and landed two fifths for fourth overall, a career best result for the young Russian. Meanwhile, last year’s European Championship EMX250 runner-up HSF Logistics Motorsport Team’s Brian Bogers is a rookie on the rise. The Dutchman rounded out the top five in MX2 today which is a solid effort on such a hard surface since he grew up riding in sand.
Initially, the scrub gone wrong incident at the last round of the championship didn’t phase Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings in the slightest. The former champ bounced back this weekend in legendary style when he won the qualifier as well as the first race. Despite his super impressive performance, given he is fresh off of the operating table with a plate and nine screws in his collarbone, drama struck The Bullet yet again with a first corner crash forcing him out of the race with a serious cut in his pinky finger.
Valentin Guillod – 3rd and 4th for 2nd overall – “I was struggling with the track yesterday and did not find the right setting with the bike but finally it came together for the qualifying race. I didn’t have the best start in the first moto but I was able to pass some guys and could stay on two wheels in the first five laps because they put so much water down. It was really slippery. When it got drier I was able to push more and third place was really good. I didn’t make a good start again in the second moto and I really have to work on that. Jeffrey [Herlings] crashed in front of me and I tried to go to the right but still hit his wheel with my shifter and it was bent. It was really difficult to ride because shifting down was OK but to go up meant moving my foot around a lot. When I got the signal that I would just miss the podium I pushed really hard and got two more positions right at the end. To finish fourth was really good for the championship and I took good points today. I want to thank Standing Construct Yamaha for the great job they did and all my sponsors for the support. It is very cool to see two Swiss riders on the podium and I want to dedicate this to my grandmother who just turned 85!”
Jeremy Seewer – 7th and 2nd for 3rd overall – “The second race was really good, with my second holeshot of the year, and was vital on that track and with that much water. I struggled a bit with my pace and was riding too conservative. I led, but Tim was too strong. I passed Jordi and finished second even though he was pushing hard at the end. It feels great to finish second and I wasn’t expecting a podium because of my small mistake in the first race. It is amazing to be ‘on it’ again and with fifth place in the first moto my result could have been even better…but I’m happy.”
Jordi Tixier – 9th overall – “It was frustrating to have a technical issue and retire in the first race as I was in the top five; we all know that it’s part of racing and we have to deal with that. My second start was much better but it took me a few laps to find a good rhythm and I finished third. I was clause to second but it was impossible to find another line to pass. It’s the third GP in a row that I have missed the podium, so I want to turn that around next week and finish my MX2 career with a string of podium finishes before moving to MXGP with the Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team next year.”

Superb performances for Desprey & Maddii in Uddevalla
The rocky hillside of Uddevalla worked as a grandstand to the thousands of fans who came out to watch the fourth and sixth rounds of the European Championships EMX250 and EMX300 where Bud Racing Kawasaki’s Maxime Desprey and Italian Marco Maddii uncorked yet another bottle of bubbles on the top step of the podium.
The premier European Championship class, EMX250, got off to a mega start today in the heat of Uddevalla as three of the hottest championship contenders, Bud Racing Kawasaki Monster Energy’s Maxime Desprey, Kemea Yamaha Yamalube’s Damon Graulus and J-Tech Honda’s Nick Kouwenberg led the way around turn one.
Desprey, a former MX2 rider, was the fastest off the gate and led every lap for his fifth race victory of the season. Although Desprey never lost the lead, it wasn’t an easy race win as he was pushed all the way to the finish by the red plate holder Kouwenberg.
Déjà vu struck yesterdays race one winner Graulus who crashed out of second and couldn’t restart his bike. Meanwhile, last years FIM Junior Motocross 125cc and European Championship EMX125 Champion Brian Hsu is really starting to come to grips with the 250. The young German was quick to move into third where he remained for the rest of the race.
The former championship leader Wilvo Forkrent KTM’s Adam Sterry got off to an average start which left him picking off riders for the first couple of laps. The Brit managed to get all the way to a lonely fourth. Team Yamaha Ausio Yamalube’s Valentin Ander also put in a solid performance to round out the top five.
At the end of the weekend Bud Racing Kawasaki Monster Energy’s Maxime Desprey landed on the top of the box for the third time this year and is now within striking distance of the red plate while Honda J-Tech’s Nick Kouwenberg stood on the second to maintain his championship lead. Young German, Rockstar Energy Suzuki Europe’s Brian Hsu wrapped up third for his second consecutive podium finish of the season.
Maxime Desprey: “It was a good weekend. It’s great to get another overall win as the last two rounds were not so good for me. I got a second position in the first moto on Saturday, but they put so much water on the track just before that race that it was dangerous and I took care in the early stages of the race. I found a better rhythm as the race wore on and recorded my fastest lap late in the race as I advanced to second. Today we had much better conditions; I had more fun and got the holeshot to lead the entire race. I’m now second in the standings; we worked a lot with Jacky Vimond in the sand and we’ll see what will happen next weekend in Latvia.”

EMX300
Finding traction on a bike that produces 300cc of pure two-stroke power on a hard packed gravel track wouldn’t have been the easiest of tasks, but for the riders that lined up today for the fourth round of the European Championship EMX300 that was the challenge, a challenge that was owned by Italian KTM rider Marco Maddii who won both races this weekend for his second consecutive overall victory.
In race one yesterday Maddii was gifted the win from the championship red plate holder Wilvo Nestaan Husqvarna’s Yentel Martens who led the entire race but crashed with one corner to go and broke his wrist. Martens didn’t line up today but has said he will try and be back for the next round in Loket, Czech Republic.
With Martens out, the race was Maddii’s to win although it didn’t come easy for the Italian. GPR Promo MX Team’s Dietger Damiens took the holeshot followed by Sweden’s own Jimmie Allen, Team HNHF Racing’s Patrick Vos and British rider Matthew Moffat.
Damiens appeared to have a solid grip on the race up until the final three laps when yesterdays race one winner Maddii pinned it up the inside of him heading into the corner before the finish jump. With Maddii taking over the lead, Damiens then found himself in a final lap battle with Great Britain’s Matthew Moffat who had diced through the pack to take second a few turns from home.
Damiens was forced back to third while Allen, the local kid who had a ton of support from the thousands of fans, had to settle for fourth after his epic battle for second with the EMX round winner Marco Maddii earlier in the race. South African Damon Strydom rounded out the top five.
After a relentless weekend where the riders fought like cats and dogs, Marco Maddii topped the podium ahead of Dietger Damiens who took his first podium finish of the season in second while Jimmie Allen put a smile on the faces of the Swedish fans in third.
