Yamaha Factory MXGP & MX2 Riders Look Forward to Loket

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

After an eventful Dutch Grand Prix that saw moments of brilliance from all three of the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory #mxgp riders and a near-perfect weekend for the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory #mx2 team with Jago Geerts going 1-1 for his first Grand Prix win of 2021, and Maxime Renaux taking the #mx2 championship lead, both teams are looking forward to building on those positives in Loket, Czech Republic, at round five of the FIM Motocross World Championship this weekend - July 25th. 

Loket is a classic style track that embodies plenty of steep up-hills and as many daunting down-hills. The tracks’ surface is clay which, in dry conditions, puts a big emphasis on throttle control. Old school, hard-packed venues typically suit the high momentum riding style of Jeremy Seewer - a rider that has scored podium finishes at the venue in both #mx2 and #mxgp classes in the past. The Swiss sensation finished on the second step in #mx2 in 2016 and ’17 and was third in #mxgp in 2019. 

The ’91’ is still sixth in the #mxgp Championship Standings thanks to his heroic ride back to 10th after a heavy fall in the final race in Oss, The Netherlands, only three days ago. Teammate Glenn Coldenhoff also had a big crash in Race Two at the Dutch Grand Prix. As a result, the ‘259’ has been taking it easy over the past few days in effort to be back to 100% in Czech. Coldenhoff is seventh in the championship chase, 9-points behind Seewer.

Ben Watson is excited for another Grand Prix inside the premier class fresh off a season best, and career best, top-five finish in Oss. The 24-year-old Brit has been raising eyebrows since his premier class debut last month, where he has already made astonishing progress, bettering his result at every round. Always humble, the ‘919’ remains grateful to contest his first season in the hotly contested #mxgp class on the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory #mxgp team and is keen to keep learning as he continues to establish his place at the front of the field.

Watson is currently the best-placed rookie in the #mxgp class. He is 10th in the Championship Standings. 

Entering the fifth round of the FIM Motocross World Championship on a high, the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory #mx2 team hopes to keep up the momentum in the Czech Republic.
