Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Monster Energy Wilvo #Yamaha #mxgp celebrated its best Grand Prix yet at the fourth round of the FIM #mxgp World Championship in #trentino, Italy, after #gautierpaulin secured a place on the third-step of the podium for the second time this season, while Arnaud Tonus put a pair of fourths together for fourth overall. Monster Energy #Yamaha Factory MXGP's Jeremy Seewer rounded out the top-ten after a tough weekend. 

In the opening race it was the phenomenal torque and horsepower of Yamaha's popular YZ450F that got both #monsterenergywilvo #Yamaha #mxgp riders Paulin and Tonus off to fantastic starts. The duo went bar-to-bar around turn-one, but it was Paulin who took the early advantage and quickly passed two riders to move into third. Paulin instantly pulled a comfortable gap and never looked back, while Tonus fought hard for fourth.   

The second and final race of the weekend was almost a carbon copy of Race 1. Both riders started inside the top-four and remained unchallenged for the entire 30-minute plus 2-lap duration of the race. As a result, Paulin stood on the third-step of the podium for the second time in three-weeks, and reclaimed third position in the #mxgp Championship Standings. He now has a 22-point buffer over the rider in fourth. 

Tonus has gained an abundance of momentum in the championship chase following his 4 - 4 scorecard in #trentino. The 27-year-old has broken the top-ten. He is in tenth position, 8-points shy of the rider in ninth. 

Monster Energy #Yamaha Factory MXGP's Jeremy Seewer had a more eventful weekend. The Swiss star had to find new lines on the slick and edgy clay circuit of Pietramurata as he did his best to recover from a poor start. After a thrilling charge through the pack from outside of the top-15, the 24 year-old was able to cross the finish line in eighth. 

In the second and final race of the day, the number '91' was placed inside the top-ten on the opening lap until he was hit from behind by another rider and thrown from his bike. He suffered from a nasty cut on his right arm and a sore left knee. He continued and defied the pain to salvage 14th place for tenth position in the Grand Prix overall. 

Seewer has retained seventh position in the #mxgp Championship Classification, and looks to come back strong at the next Grand Prix, which will take place in five-weeks time in Mantova, Italy on the weekend of May 12th.
