Double victory for Pirelli in the Motocross Grand Prix of Great Britain at Matterley Basin
Antonio Cairoli wins, for the second time in a row, the MXGP class and keeps the Red Plate. Thomas Kjer Olsen wins both MX2 races and jumped into the lead in the championship standings
Matterley Basin (Great Britain), 24 March 2019 – After brilliant results obtained in the opening round in Argentina, Pirelli confirmed the excellent performance of its products by dominating the Grand Prix of Great Britain – the second round of 2019 FIM Motocross World Championship - which took place at the spectacular Matterley Basin circuit. SCORPION™ MX32™ Mid Soft front and rear were the tyres chosen by almost all the riders equipped by the Italian brand to face the medium-hard soil of the British track. 129 racers from 192 starters in four categories chose to rely on Pirelli.Thanks to first and second positions, Antonio Cairoli secured his second overall victory in the MXGP class. Behind him was Tim Gajser, winner of Saturday's qualification heat, who grabbed first position in the final race and finished the Grand Prix as runner-up. There was a good performance also by Jeremy Van Horebeek who, riding for the privateer Honda SR team, took a bright fifth place overall.
With defending champion Jorge Prado forced to miss the race due to injury, Thomas Kjer Olsen dominated the MX2 class with a perfect double. The fast Dane also bagged the red plate in the championship standings. Henry Jacobi finished second ahead of a surprising Tom Vialle who grasped the first podium of his young career. Calvin Vlaanderen’s fourth place confirmed the extreme versatility of Pirelli’s tires as the Italian brand filled the top positions with four different brands.
At the Grand Prix of Great Britain Pirelli presented to the teams the SCORPION™ MX SOFT in the new 100/90-19 size, suitable for use with 250F bikes, which will certainly be a key model and bound to used by several riders at the Grand Prix of the Netherlands hosted by the sandy Valkenswaard track next weekend.
