PIRELLI SCORPION™ EXCELS AGAIN AT THE MOTOCROSS GRAND PRIX OF LIMBURG IN LOMMEL
Jorge Prado rules MXGP while the red plate remains in Tim Gajser hands. Tom Vialle wins again in MX2 and increases his advantage in the championship standings
Lommel (Belgium) October 22nd, 2020 – The Grand Prix of Limburg, the fourteenth round of the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship, was the second race hosted by the challenging Belgian circuit of Lommel. SCORPION™ tires dominated the results sheets and, thanks to the performance of the SCORPION™ MX32™ Mid Soft front and SCORPION MX™ Soft rear combined with medium/soft mousse, were the winning choice of the Pirelli riders who swept the overall podiums in both classes and also in the EMX250 European Championship. With four races to go in 2020, Pirelli is already mathematically world champion in the MX2 class.
Jorge Prado produced an impressive win in MXGP. The Spaniard managed to conquer the premier class across one of the most demanding tracks of the series in his rookie season. The runner up position was taken by Tim Gajser who continues to lead the standings. Antonio Cairoli took third place and remains Gajser's closest rival in the championship. Fifth place was filled by Jeremy Seewer and crowned Pirelli’s excellent day in MXGP.
Tom Vialle repeated his victory obtained last Sunday in MX2. The Frenchman, who remains comfortably in the lead in the championship, preceded Ben Watson and Jago Geerts who, due to some errors, lost ground in the points table. Thanks to Isak Gifting's fourth place and Maxime Renaux's fifth, Pirelli occupied the overall top five.
With a fantastic triumph in the final round of the EMX250 European Championship, Thibault Benistant became the 2020 European Champion. Pirelli placed their riders in the overall top six with the freshly crowned Frenchman heading Hakon Fredriksen, Jorgen Matthias Talviku , Marcel Conijn, Albin Gerhardsson and Bastian Boegh Damm. Fredriksen finished third in the championship ahead of Kay De Wolf.
After the penultimate round of the European EMX125, Meico Vettik holds third position in the standings.
Next Sunday the Grand Prix of Lommel, the fifteenth round of the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship, will close the Belgian triple header.
