Pirelli keeps ahead at Ernée for the Grand Prix of France of the FIM Motocross World Championship
Antonio Cairoli, second overall in MXGP, extends his lead in the Championship while Pauls Jonass celebrates his fourth overall victory of the season and continues to front MX2
Ernée (France), 29 May 2017 – Tricky and challenging terrain lay in store for the ninth round of the FIM MXGP World Championship at Ernee for the Grand Prix of France. The French circuit is chiselled from medium-hard soil that became slippery due to rain falling on Sunday morning. Deep ruts and poor grip conditions determined choice for the SCORPION™ MX32™ MID SOFT front and rear, the most widely used Pirelli’s selection in the championship and permitted to riders to achieve great results in all classes.
Antonio Cairoli was runner-up in MXGP. The eight-times world champion did not take any unnecessary risks across a difficult surface and with second place left Ernèe with a 50 point lead over Gautier Paulin. The French rider, galvanized by his home crowd, gave his best and thanks to the third spot overall has moved up to second position in the championship. Max Nagl obtained his first race win and finished the GP in fourth. A good performance was posted by Jeremy Van Horebeek in fifth, while Tim Gajser was not able to compete due to the pain of the left shoulder that he injured in Germany the previous weekend.
Pauls Jonass celebrated his fourth overall victory in the MX2 class. The Latvian comprehensively owned the first race and avoided mistakes to finish second later on. Jeremy Seewer was third overall and continues to hold second place in the championship. Hunter Lawrence confirmed his good form by getting fourth in front of Julien Lieber.
A great weekend for Pirelli also in European Championship EMX250 thanks to Team Assomotor first (Mathys Boisrame) and third place (Alberto Forato), and Jago Geerts's second place. Pirelli grabbed the top spot in EMX125 with Kevin Horgmo.
In two weeks time the riders will line up for the Grand Prix of Russia that will be held in Orlyonok; the track located near the shores of the Black Sea and which will host the MXGP for the first time.
