Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP’s Glenn Coldenhoff finished second overall at the second round of the FIM Motocross World Championship in Riola-Sardo, Sardinia, with a stunning win in Race Two. Teammates Maxime Renaux and Jeremy Seewer also put in impressive performances, with Renaux overcoming adversity to finish fourth overall and Seewer pushing hard all weekend, despite some mistakes, to finish sixth.

The MXGP of Sardinia was a grueling test of skill and endurance for the world's top motocross riders. The sandy surface made for a challenging track that deteriorated with each passing lap, forcing the riders to dig deep and push themselves to the limit.

In the opening race, Seewer showed his trademark speed off the line, launching out of the gate and taking the Fox Holeshot ahead of his competitors. However, he was quickly overtaken by Jorge Prado, who made a hasty move at turn two to take the lead.

Seewer withstood the pressure from his teammate Coldenhoff for the first ten laps before tucking the front on the landing of the finish line jump and going over the ‘bars. At the same time, Coldenhoff backed off the pace to conserve energy and eventually faded to fifth, while Seewer showed incredible resilience, quickly jumping to his feet to rejoin the race in sixth.

Meanwhile, Renaux made an impressive surge through the field after a mid-pack start and a crash on lap four. The ‘959’ showcased his determination and skill as he caught up to Vlaanderen and Herlings, to challenge for second place on the final lap but ultimately ran out of time and had to settle for a fourth-place finish ahead of Coldenhoff and Seewer in fifth and sixth. 

In Race Two, Coldenhoff took a bold approach and went for broke. He started strong and quickly passed Seewer at the second turn. From there, the ‘Flying 259’ rode flawlessly and secured his first win of the season. 

At the same time, Renaux put up a strong fight for second place against two former MXGP World Champions, Jeffrey Herlings and Romain Febvre. Although he finished between the two, in third place, the young Frenchman proved that he could hold his own against some of the sport's most seasoned veterans. 

Overall, Race Two was an exciting display of skill and determination from all the riders involved, including Seewer, who battled the conditions and his rivals to finish seventh. 

Making a positive step in the right direction , Renaux has moved up to third in the MXGP Championship Standings, while Coldenhoff has been bumped up to fifth. At the same time, Seewer moved up two spots to eighth. 

The team now looks forward to round three of the FIM Motocross World Championship that will take place in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, on April 8th and 10th.
