Luckily however he managed to recover here to wind up in seventh. Running in the back half of the top 10, the Frenchman got punted off track by Kay De Wolf. As Vialle controlled the point from start to finish, Renaux would have an eventful race. Being Thibault Benistant, along with Stephen Rubini, the latter of whom would have a DNF-DNS day on Wednesday. Behind him on the start, a pair of riders never even made it to the holeshot line. With just two off days between GPs, this event would be a showing of the rider’s ability to recover with just 48 hours of rest.īe sure to follow all of our Motocross coverage. This all after missing three Motos earlier in the year with a shoulder injury, an absolutely mental stretch for the Bullet. Meanwhile, in regards to Jeffery Herlings in the MXGP Title Race, he found himself up close to a Moto’s worth of points over Romain Febvre entering Wednesday. Maxime Renuax, despite winning just two Grand Prixs in nearly three months, still finds himself on track to clinch the MX2 World Championship early.
The second of three races at the scenic 1.55-mile circuit was also only the second, but the final midweek round of the season. We will go home tomorrow to work hard and continue to be strong next year.Latest News Motorsports MXGP Recap: 2021 Grand Prix of PietramurataĪfter a quick couple of days off, the MXGP and MX2 riders got right back to action in Trentino. Tony, Jorge, Mattia, Rene and Tom: the relationship we have is also amazing and makes our work so much fun. I have to thank the whole team because they have made so much effort but in our motocross ‘world’ the rider is the superstar and we have great ones in our team. It is always an emotional ride with him but, in the end, I feel that he deserved this title the most. He had ups-and-downs but was always fighting and coming back for more. The competition was incredible so big compliments to them: Tim and Romain produced an incredible year and any one of the guys would have deserved a title but we also worked really hard for this. It was a difficult and special title to win.
Pit Beirer, KTM Motorsports Director: “This was not a normal season. Big credit to him for the first-class job and to all the team for pushing all the way.” It looked like Jeffrey wanted it more again. Today was ‘horrible’ for the whole team! We were tied after the first moto and it went down to the last race and the best man would win.
Other guys would have probably stayed away and healed-up but he wanted to stay in the game. His pain threshold and his desire is crazy. He rode through the pain and put us back on track. He came back early and I think that race he made at Lommel was the difference. It was the most difficult one ever, so many ups-and-downs, and I’ve needed nerves of steel these last weeks but we made it.”ĭirk Gruebel, Red Bull KTM Team Manager: “What a tough season! We went from leading to nowhere because Jeffrey got hurt and then was out of the competition. I didn’t break and I made the championship happen. All three of us kept charging until the last moto, especially me and Romain in these last two races, and the pressure was on. I haven’t slept for a week thinking about what could happen, what might happen and this-and-that. The bad thing about our sport is that only one can win but they have been great and I have such respect for both of them. I want to thank both of them for a great championship. Jeffrey Herlings: “I’m super-happy but at the same time I feel bad for the other two guys. He also claimed 9 Grand Prix wins in 2021 which means he stands only two away from the all-time record of 101 and with another two years ahead as a Red Bull KTM Factory Racing athlete Herlings withstood the pressure and went 1-1 in the two outings in Italy to re-enter his name in the record books. The Citta di Mantova climax across the Mantova sand and under cloudy skies meant Herlings had to combat both Romain Febvre (who he trailed by 3 points coming into the last motos) and Tim Gajser. Entering the final two rounds and the ‘double-header’ at Mantova, Herlings was one of three riders separated by only 3 points in the MXGP standings.
