GASGAS Factory Racing’s #paulsjonass has continued his strong start to the 2021 #mxgp series with a second consecutive sixth-place overall finish, this time at round three in Italy. Despite not quite getting to grips with the fast and hardpack circuit, Jonass did what champions do – got his head down and scored solid points in each #moto. #mxgp class teammate Brian Bogers added a few more points to his championship tally while in the MX2 class, Simon Langenfelder came away with 12th overall, boosted by a strong eighth place finish in race two.

  • Strong start to the season continues for Pauls Jonass
  • Simon Langenfelder enjoys another solid points haul
  • GASGAS Factory #racing riders look ahead to round four

Pauls Jonass: “We had quite a fast track today and I feel like I was just missing that last little bit to be with the top guys. I was still consistent with my lap times and race one was ok, but in the mud in race two things went a little bit better. I stayed tight around the first turn to avoid any collisions and it paid off and I moved into sixth. Unfortunately, I had a small issue with my goggles so I had to take them off. But with around four laps to go I just put in a charge. It was risky with the conditions, but it paid off and I finished fourth. I did take a rock or a lump of dirt to the eye, so I have a black eye now, but it was worth it in the end. Now that we’re done with hardpack tracks to start the season I’m looking forward to the next GP when we're in the sand and all being well I'll be running with the top guys again.”

The third round of the FIM Motocross World Championship took #gasgas Factory #racing to the spectacular hillside circuit of Maggiora in northern Italy. The track’s steep banks, huge jumps and high speeds, not to mention the enthusiastic crowd and the heavy rain that fell during the final #mxgp race, all combined to create a memorable GP in more ways than one.

Standing Construct’s #paulsjonass continued his consistent early season form at the #mxgp of Italy. Adding to his impressive run of top-10 starts in #mxgp this year, race one at the Italian GP saw the Latvian complete the opening lap of race one in seventh place. By mid-race, Jonass advanced to sixth before slipping back to seventh on the final lap of the #moto.

For the second race, just like last weekend’s #mxgp round two, heavy rain fell as the #mxgp class took to the line. Undeterred by the conditions, Pauls rocketed from the start gate before carving a tight inside line around turn one to avoid the chaos that ensued behind him, emerging in sixth place. With the rain lashing down and forcing Jonass to remove his goggles, he put in a huge effort during the closing stages of the race to move into fourth on the very last lap.
