Cairoli on the Dutch podium as Red Bull KTM win both MXGP races

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The Grand Prix of the Netherlands took place at the sandy Oss circuit for the fourth round of 2021 #mxgp and Red Bull KTM Factory #racing were able to clinch both #mxgp motos as #tonycairoli grasped his third podium result of the year in the runner-up slot.

- Herlings & Cairoli win the first and second #mxgp motos under the hot Dutch sunshine
- Cairoli finishes runner-up and is joint 2nd with Herlings in the championship standings, Jorge Prado places 4th in Holland and is the third Red Bull KTM rider in the #mxgp top five
- Herlings forced to withdraw after first race win with minor left shoulder blade fracture
- Hofer 5th overall in MX2 

Valkenswaard, Lierop and Assen have all hosted Dutch rounds of #mxgp throughout the last two decades, but Oss entered the calendar for its first Grand Prix of the Netherlands since the end of the 1990s. The track featured shallow sandy terrain that roughed-up considerably in the sunny and hot climate.

Local hero #jeffreyherlings came to Oss with a superlative record on home turf and 14 Grand Prix wins in both classes since his debut at Valkenswaard in 2010. The 26-year-old was the center of attention for the small gathering of fans permitted to enter the circuit and took his third Pole Position of the season so far in morning Timed Practice. 

Herlings’ first #moto was action-packed as Ivo Monticelli landed on his back exiting the second corner. The Dutchman remained upright, bore the pain and steadily found a pace that pulled him up from 4th, through a frantic battle for the lead and into 1st to seize his second victory in succession. A scan between the motos revealed that Herlings had suffered a small fracture in his left shoulder blade and he had to sit-out the next race. 

Tony Cairoli, who has recorded two podium finishes (1st and 3rd) in the three previous rounds, recorded 8th position in the first #moto after a mediocre start and a brief last lap crash. The Italian was much more proactive in the second outing and his excellent race rhythm and conditioning saw him move through the upper echelons of the leaderboard to pass Tim Gajser and take his second checkered flag of the year.
