RYDER D MATCHES CAREER-BEST 250MX RESULT AT MILLVILLE WITH SIXTH OVERALL

Ver Perfil
Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing's Ryder DiFrancesco impressed with his highest overall finish of P6 in the 2024 AMA Pro Motocross Championship at the Spring Creek National, also matching his career-best and managing a top-five moto result in the rain-delayed final outing.
  • Ryder D matches his career-best result at Spring Creek
  • Fifth in Moto 2 also equals highest result of the season
  • A difficult day for PB amidst ongoing health challenges
DiFrancesco qualified in 13th position and then found himself outside of the top 20 at the start of Moto 1, but managed to slice his way through the pack on his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition to salvage 12th place and a decent haul of points for his efforts.
After being delayed due to storms, the second moto saw riders facing a rain-soaked track when the gates dropped, and this time around Ryder D was able to benefit from improved track position. He completed lap one in P6 and rode hard from there, taking the checkered flag in fifth, which equaled his second moto result from High Point. That elevated him to sixth overall and he stays 10th in the title race.
Ryder DiFrancesco:   "Millville was good. It started out rough, but got better throughout the day. We need to sort out the first motos, because the second motos have been good – I just need to put the two together. Washougal is next and one of my favorites, so I'm excited to go back west at this stage of the season."
For Brown, his qualification was solid in seventh position, before he raced to 13th in the opening race of the weekend. With rain falling at the beginning of Moto 2, he was further impacted by a first-turn pile-up that left him fighting from the back of the pack, eventually climbing to 14th. That put him P14 overall for the weekend, which sees him maintain seventh in the championship standings.
Pierce Brown:  "It wasn't a good day here at Millville for me, unfortunately. I haven't been feeling like myself lately with some sicknesses, so we will have to figure that out, but we did what we could today in the end. Onto Washougal!"

RYDER DIFRANCESCO RACES TO EIGHTH OVERALL IN 250MX AT REDBUD NATIONAL

Ver Perfil
Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing's Ryder DiFrancesco continues to rise in the middle stages of the 2024 AMA Pro Motocross Championship after claiming eighth overall at today's RedBud National, spending his time in the spotlight during the final 250MX moto of Round 6.
  • Team unveils a special one-off livery for the 4th of July weekend
  • Ryder D pushes hard to 13-7 scores for eighth overall in 250MX
  • Speed is there, but fortunes aren't for Pierce Brown once again
With the team's 450MX Class entry, Justin Barcia, sidelined while allowing his knees time to recover, all attention was placed upon Ryder D and Pierce Brown on their GASGAS MC 250F Factory Editions, and the pair qualified in 11th and 12th positions following this morning's opening sessions of the weekend.
For DiFrancesco, a crash on the opening lap of Moto 1 saw him claw his way back from outside of the top 30 to eventually find points in 13th place. The final race was far better in running as high as third early on and then maintaining a top-five position for over half of the race distance. He eventually took the checkered flag in P7, which placed him eighth for the round, and he is now 10th in the championship.
Ryder DiFrancesco:   "RedBud was a better weekend for me. Qualifying was decent and then in the first moto my start was okay, but I ended up going down and fought back to 13th. Second moto, I was in P2 off the start and ran up front for a long time, before I went back to seventh. We're ready for Millville and we'll keep building!"
Brown's opening moto was somewhat smoother, finishing 10th despite a fall of his own, and then he faced added adversity in Moto 2. Unfortunately, contact with another rider on the opening lap forced PB out of contention before it even really began, which placed him 17th overall. Still, he is P7 in the points and is determined to turn his luck around as we enter the series' second half.
Pierce Brown:  "It was a tough day at RedBud. I'm disappointed because I've been feeling really good on the bike lately, but the results just haven't shown it. Moto 1, I was battling around seventh or eighth and fell, so ended up 10th. The second moto, I got together with another rider and fell on the first lap, which damaged my bike and I had to DNF. That's tough, but onto the next round!"

JUSTIN BARCIA PRESSES ON TO SEVENTH OVERALL IN THE SANDS OF SOUTHWICK

Ver Perfil
A determined seventh-place finish at Southwick's fifth round of the 2024 AMA Pro Motocross Championship was impressive from an injured Justin Barcia in 450MX, as Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing teammates Pierce Brown and Ryder DiFrancesco also pushed hard throughout both 250MX motos.
  • Strong opening moto result the highlight for Justin Barcia
  • Bam Bam will now take time out to help his injured knees heal up
  • PB and Ryder D keep on pushing with top 10 moto scores
Barcia qualified seventh before delivering a convincing P6 result in Moto 1, but was forced to recover from a fall at the beginning of race two. He battled back to 11th by race's end, which sealed him seventh overall in the ever-challenging Southwick sand, and is currently ranked eighth in the point standings. After continuing to experience trouble with a pair of knee injuries that have largely affected his outdoor campaign, Bam Bam has opted to sit out the next block of races – aiming to return for his home race at Unadilla in August – in order to allow his injuries to recover properly. Barcia is confident that when he returns onboard the GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition, he will be even more competitive into the final stages of the series. Justin Barcia:   "Today was an eventful day, a lot of stuff going on! I qualified P7, which was pretty good, and the motos were decent for where we're at. I was sixth in Moto 1 and then had a first turn crash in the second moto, but made a hard charge to 11th. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some knee injuries since about the week before Salt Lake City, and I've been pushing through it. One knee has a torn/sprained MCL, and my other knee had bursitis, with a little bit of a tear in the meniscus – not too bad, nothing that requires surgery. Because of the swelling, two of my tendons finally let go at High Point, but the good thing is that technically they will just scar up and be fine. I haven't been riding during the week at all, just been trying to race on the weekends for my fans and the crew, but it's got to the point now that we have a really good bike, my riding is really good, and these knees are holding us back. We want to be better than fifth-to-eighth, so we are going to take some time off. I will still be able to train quite a bit, do PT on the knees, and see what we can do to get better. All in all, they just need some time to heal up, so the goal right now, I would say, is to come back for Unadilla. I won't miss too many races if everything works out, which I believe it will, and then we'll come back swinging!" In 250MX, Brown qualified 10th and then raced his way forward to eighth in the first moto despite not being completely comfortable. The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team made improvements to his bike settings for the unique conditions ahead of Moto 2, where he had to fight from 40th to 12th following an early crash. That landed him P9 overall, sitting seventh in the title race. Pierce Brown:   "In the first moto I struggled, but we made some changes for Moto 2, and I felt a lot better. Unfortunately, I fell on the first lap and had to come back from 40th to 12th, so my riding was there, but obviously it didn't show on paper. We don't get sand like this in California, so it is hard to prep properly for this race – we'll move onto RedBud and keep charging." A consistent showing from Ryder D saw him go 10-11 for 11th overall this weekend, continuing to move forward even if a late mistake bumped him down the order on the final lap of the second race. He sits 12th in points on his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition with six rounds left to run in the 2024 season. Ryder DiFrancesco:   "Southwick was okay. It was an improvement from last year, I got a little bit better in the sand, but a mistake on the last lap cost me a couple of spots overall. It was a step in the right direction, we had two solid motos, and I'm ready for RedBud." Next Race:  July 6 – RedBud, Michigan

    TROY LEE DESIGNS/RED BULL/GASGAS FACTORY RACING TAKES TOP 10 RESULTS FROM HIGH POINT

    Ver Perfil
    All three Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing riders finished inside the top 10 at the end of a tough High Point National this weekend, overcoming their share of adversity and led by 450MX charger Justin Barcia with eighth overall, while 250MX prospects Ryder DiFrancesco and Pierce Brown were seventh and eighth, respectively.
    • Justin Barcia battles technical conditions for 10-8 scores
    • A top-five in Moto 1 and P7 overall the best yet from Ryder D
    • Sixth in the final outing a solid finish for Pierce Brown
    Bam Bam was quick from the outset in tricky conditions to set the third-fastest time in the opening practice, but fell in the late stages of the session, which made for a long day while managing pain in his knees. After qualifying sixth on combined times, the GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition rider was still able to collect points across both races, going 10-8 for P8 overall, and he has retained seventh in the championship tally.
    Justin Barcia:   "Today started really good, P3 in the first practice, but then on the last lap I slid out on a blind jump and got my knee run over, so that was a struggle! I went out for the second session and was in pretty bad pain, so qualified P6 overall, and I knew the motos would be tough. We did everything we could – tape and that kind of thing – to get out there, but both of my knees are extremely weak right now and hurting pretty bad. We salvaged what we were able to today, which is a bit sad because the bike was really good and I thought we could have had a successful day. All-in-all, we scored points, and I'm happy we have a weekend off now so I can sort these knees out, and come out swinging for Southwick!"
    A fifth-place score in the first 250MX moto of the weekend was a season-high for Ryder DiFrancesco on his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition, also matching his career-best achieved at the same venue one year ago. Ryder recovered from a crash in Moto 2 to salvage 13th, which was enough for seventh overall and his strongest finish of the 2024 outdoor season so far.
    Ryder DiFrancesco:   "High Point was better than the last few weeks. First moto I took fifth, and then in the second moto, I was running inside the top 10 and went down. That put me seventh overall, which is an improvement, so the goal going into Southwick is to put two solid motos together. It was a good day and I'm ready for a weekend off."
    Alongside Ryder D in 250MX, Pierce Brown qualified inside the top 10, but crashed in the opening encounter and was buried in the pack on his way to greeting the checkered flag in 13th. He was able to rebound in the second race for eighth overall, continuing his consistent run in terms of round results, and is currently positioned P8 in the championship rankings.
    Pierce Brown:   "We were eighth overall today. The first moto was not great after I fell and just couldn't find my flow, but we went back to a base setting for Moto 2 and the comfort was there for me again. My start was better and I ended up sixth, so closer to the front, and we're going to work on fixing our weaknesses during the break before Southwick."

    FOURTH OVERALL A SEASON-BEST FOR JUSTIN BARCIA IN THUNDER VALLEY NATIONAL

    Ver Perfil
    An inspired performance from Justin Barcia at Thunder Valley saw the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing rider charge to fourth overall in Round 3 of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship, marking his best finish of the 2024 season to date outdoors. It was also a solid weekend out for 250MX teammate Pierce Brown on his way to P8 overall.
    • A 4-6 moto scorecard results in P4 overall for Bam Bam!
    • Fast starts reward Barcia in both 450MX races this afternoon
    • Sixth in the opening moto puts Pierce's form on display
    Barcia placed his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition eighth on the charts at the conclusion of qualifying this morning and then rocketed toward the front of the pack in the opening 450MX moto, sitting second in the early stages. He eventually settled in for a fourth-place result, and then backed that up with sixth in the final race, which saw him take home a season-best of P4 overall! Bam Bam is now seventh in the premier class standings.
    Justin Barcia:   "Thunder Valley was a pretty good day! I qualified decent in the top 10, which I wasn't thrilled about, but it was okay. I got off to two good starts, charged really hard all day, and the bike was really good. We made a change after the second practice and it was really consistent, so I was able to adapt to different lines today and felt comfortable. We came away with a solid fourth, so it's good. We want more, so we're going to keep pushing, and we'll get there soon!"
    Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing's 250MX team was led by Brown, who qualified in P9 and then went on to take the checkered flag in sixth position at the end of Moto 1. With rain briefly falling at the beginning of Moto 2, he recovered from an average opening lap to salvage ninth, which placed him eighth for the weekend, and PB currently holds seventh in the title race.
    Pierce Brown:   "It was another mediocre day on paper, but we made some steps forward, riding-wise. In the first moto I ended up sixth, then second moto I was near last and came back to ninth. It felt good, but obviously not where we need to be, and we need a start. I feel like everything else is coming together, so I'm excited to see what we can do at High Point next week."
    Colorado was a frustrating round of sorts for Ryder DiFrancesco, caught up in a multi-rider crash through the first turn in the opening encounter, but battling back to 18th place. He improved to run inside the top 10 during Moto 2, although dropped further down the order in the closing laps and finished 14th. As a result, he was 15th overall in Round 3 of the Pro Motocross season.
    Ryder DiFrancesco:  "This weekend was okay. I fell in the first turn of Moto 1 and came back to 18th, and then in the second moto I got a better start, ran eighth for around 20 minutes, and then went backward from there. It was better than Hangtown, so we'll keep improving and get ready for next weekend."

    DANIEL SANDERS OVERCOMES TOUGH PENULTIMATE STAGE OF DESAFIO RUTA 40

    Ver Perfil
    Day four of the Desafio Ruta 40 proved to be a serious test for all, but Daniel Sanders remained unfazed and got on with the job at hand! The Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing rider delivered a solid ride on the 391-kilometer timed special to ultimately finish 11th after receiving a six-minute penalty for speeding. However, Daniel’s consistency has paid off and he maintains his eighth place in the overall standings with one stage left to race.
    • 11th place for Daniel Sanders on technical stage four
    • Chucky remains eighth in overall standings
    • Just one day left to race at the 2024 Desafio Ruta 40
    Setting off on the mammoth 657-kilometer stage to La Rioja in fourth place thanks to his impressive stage three result, Daniel welcomed a change in terrain from previous days. Making up time as the day went on, the Aussie found his rhythm on his RX 450F and enjoyed a relatively straightforward day.  Initially posting the seventh-fastest time, a six-minute speeding penalty forced Chucky into 11th place. With one day left to contest, Daniel keeps his spot in eighth overall. Let’s fight to the finish!   Daniel Sanders: “Today was a really interesting day, the terrain this morning was all sand which I’m normally quite comfortable with but I couldn’t get the speed initially. Also, the cold temperatures caused a lot of mist which made everything that little bit more difficult. I survived though, pushed on as much as I could and tried not to lose too much time. The last half of the stage was completely different and a lot faster. A long day on the bike overall, but I enjoyed it and I’m ready to take on the last day tomorrow.” Provisional Results: Desafio Ruta 40 2024, stage 4

    PIERCE BROWN BATTLES TO SEASON-BEST WITH P6 OVERALL IN 250MX AT HANGTOWN

    Ver Perfil
    A top-five moto score and sixth overall in 250MX signaled a step forward for Pierce Brown at today's Hangtown Motocross Classic, the second round of the 2024 AMA Pro Motocross Championship. And for Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing teammate Justin Barcia, seventh overall in the 450MX Class was another sign of consistency.
    • PB takes confidence from finishing fifth in opening 250MX moto
    • Second moto improvements in Hangtown conditions evident for Barcia
    • More testing planned as Bam Bam gets back down to business
    Brown finished a low-key eighth overall at Pala's first round of the season one week ago, but was better from the outset at the historic Prairie City venue to qualify in P7. Moto 1 saw him ride his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition to fifth position, and then he wrapped up the weekend with a 10th-place ride in Moto 2, which resulted in P6 overall for the weekend. He has moved forward to seventh in the championship.
    Pierce Brown:   "Today was better than the first round with sixth overall and we made some improvements that I'm happy about. I think we're in a good spot, trending in the right direction, and I'm excited for Colorado next week."
    Hangtown was an opportunity for Ryder DiFrancesco to gain added experience in 250MX, beginning with ninth in qualifying, and then registering 14-18 finishes for 15th overall. He will be determined to turn things around results-wise in Colorado next weekend, currently 13th in the points following Round 2 of 11.
    Ryder DiFrancesco:   "It was a better weekend with two good qualifying sessions this morning. We had two good starts, but I just didn't have the speed to run up front, so made it hard on myself. I'm looking forward to Thunder Valley."
    After finishing fifth at the opener, Barcia came into Hangtown with confidence on his side and qualified his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition in position nine. He gradually made improvements from there, placing eighth in a chaotic first moto, and then going another position better for P7 in Moto 2 for seventh overall. Those results have him ranked eighth in the standings in these early stages of the outdoors.
    Justin Barcia:   "Hangtown was a challenging day, for sure. I felt okay in the first practice when it was a little bit smoother, but then second practice I struggled a little. We made a change for the first moto and it wasn't what I needed, before in Moto 2 we made a good step and it was a lot better. Hopefully we can do some testing this week to improve a little bit, because we haven't been able to ride too much, so it will be good to get on track and catch up a little bit. All-in-all, not the results we want, but we will definitely keep at it, never give up, and the results should be coming soon."

    STRONG START OUTDOORS FOR TROY LEE DESIGNS/RED BULL/GASGAS FACTORY RACING TEAM

    Ver Perfil
    A top-five result in 450MX for Justin Barcia was an inspired way to drop the gates on the 2024 AMA Pro Motocross Championship in Pala, California, on Saturday, as 250MX teammates Ryder DiFrancesco and Pierce Brown found themselves inside the top 10 at the conclusion of Round 1.
    • Bam Bam lands fifth overall as we take things outdoors!
    • Pierce Brown and Ryder DiFrancesco race to top 10 finishes
    • Time to keep pushing with the first round in the books
    Barcia was in form from the outset to open the outdoors, fourth fastest in the opening qualifier and then slotting into P7 on combined times. He rode his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition to sixth in both motos, rewarded with fifth overall and a strong haul of points following the first round of 11.
    Justin Barcia:   "Had a good qualifying practice, fourth in the first one and seventh overall, so we had a good gate pick for the races. First moto, I got off to a good start and it was a good one. Second moto, also got off to a good start and was about to have a holeshot but was bumped from behind, so that cost me a few positions. I fought really hard, charged the whole moto, and I have a lot of building to do still. It's going to be a long season, the bike was really good today, and I'm looking forward to more."
    The 250MX Class also produced encouraging results this weekend, with Brown qualifying third and then going 10-8 for eighth overall on his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition. DiFrancesco was consistent across both motos, recording 9-12 finishes and 10th for the round.
    Pierce Brown:   "It was a decent day with 10-8 results for eighth overall. It's somewhere to start and we know where to build from now, so I'm excited to start building some momentum from here."
    Ryder DiFrancesco:   "Round 1 was good for me at Pala. The first moto was good and the second one was okay as well, but all-in-all I'm satisfied with 10th overall. It was better than last year, but I've got a couple of things to work on with 10 more rounds to go!"

    TROY LEE DESIGNS/RED BULL/GASGAS FACTORY RACING TAKING THINGS OUTDOORS WITH A THREE-RIDER LINEUP IN AMA PRO MOTOCROSS

    Ver Perfil
    It's go time! A RED-hot Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team is set to line up in the opening round of the 2024 AMA Pro Motocross Championship this Saturday, May 25, in Pala, California with the same rider lineup of Justin Barcia, Pierce Brown, and Ryder DiFrancesco but under new management. The team welcomes Frank Latham as Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team Manager for the summer as former manager, Max Lee, steps away after nearly two seasons with the squad.
    • Welcome Frank Latham as incoming Team Manager for Pro Motocross
    • Bam Bam bringing form into the great outdoors in 2024!
    • 250MX combo of PB and Ryder D to feature at the front of the pack
    Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing expresses its thanks to Max Lee for his time as Team Manager over the course of the past couple of seasons and wishes him success as he embarks on a new path.
    Max Lee:   “It’s been an honor to work with the entire Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team these last two seasons. I truly appreciate this amazing experience and the opportunity to live this dream. It’s bittersweet leaving as I’m going to miss the races and working with such an incredible team but I am very excited to start this next chapter of my career. I wish the team the best of luck this outdoor season and I’d like to give a special thanks to Roger De Coster and John Hinz for their help and guidance. I know Frank Latham will do an outstanding job, as he brings with him years of experience validated with his team relationships and rider results. All the best to everyone at Troy Lee Designs, GASGAS and the KTM Group. On to the next.”
    The team is excited to now officially welcome Frank Latham – the highly-regarded former title-winning mechanic and factory team coordinator within the group for over a decade – as incoming GASGAS Team Manager for the summer, and it comes as a significant opportunity in his respected career that he has embraced with open arms.
    Frank Latham, Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team Manager:   "I'm excited for the new opportunity and new venture. By moving into this new role I hope I can make an impact, along with the team and the riders. I am very grateful that Troy [Lee] and the KTM Group are giving me this opportunity, the interest they've shown, and the support given to me in moving over to the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team. I am eager for the outdoor rounds to start and am excited to see how the season develops."
    On track, Barcia already has four 450MX overall victory trophies in his cabinet, but was denied the opportunity to chase more one year ago when his season ended through injury only three rounds in. This time around, his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition is dialed for the motocross season ahead and he too has form on his side, which he is wanting to make count when the points are paid on Saturday afternoons.
    Justin Barcia:   "Supercross was definitely one of my more challenging seasons I have experienced so far, but our focus was to show up at every round with a goal to improve and build with every race. I feel towards the end of the season we made great strides, and we ended in a good spot walking away with a podium in San Diego and landing outside the podium at the last four rounds. I really enjoy outdoors and always have a lot of fun with the variety of tracks and conditions that Pro Motocross brings. I obviously didn’t get to start the outdoor season last year, so I am excited to go out there and have a lot of fun and have a strong season."
    As for Brown, there was no denying that he had speed to burn during the recent AMA Supercross Championship season on his way to P4 in 250SX East, and now he's aiming to turn that potential into podiums outdoors. The 21-year-old is yet to stand on an overall podium in Pro Motocross, but is in line to change that narrative onboard his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition when the gates drop on the new year.
    Pierce Brown:  "All in all, Supercross went well. I would have liked to have the last couple rounds better, but it is what is – stuff happens – and we learned a lot from the end of Supercross. Moving into outdoor season, we have been testing a lot this past week and got the bike in a really good spot, so we are going to put some more motos in this week and I’m excited to get things rolling at Pala."
    Teammate Ryder D's first full attempt in 250MX one year ago was full of promise, racing to 10th in the point standings and learning the ropes of racing outdoors as a professional. The decorated multi-time AMA Amateur National Motocross Champion is still only aged 19, but it's clear that he has what it takes to do battle with the best 250 Class competitors in the nation and he's primed to debut outdoors with GASGAS.
    Ryder DiFrancesco:   "My rookie season was a learning experience. I had some good rides and speed, but never put it all together. I’m glad I finished every race, and it was a huge building block. I’m excited going into outdoors already having a full season under my belt, since it gives me more confidence already knowing what to expect."

    JUSTIN BARCIA FIFTH IN SALT LAKE CITY 450SX SUPERCROSS FINALS

    Ver Perfil
    Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing rider Justin Barcia finished off his 2024 AMA Supercross Championship season on a high note with a fifth-place result at Salt Lake City's Rice-Eccles Stadium tonight, continuing his late run of form in the 17th and final round.
    • Bam Bam battles to fifth in final 450SX Main Event of 2024
    • Pierce Brown finishes fourth in final 250SX East standings
    • Kiwi revelation Cole Davies rips to 250SX Futures crown!
    Barcia put his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition sixth on the time sheets at the conclusion of qualifying and then impressed with second position in the opening premier class Heat race of the night.
    From there, he kept momentum into the 450SX Main Event, where he would greet the checkered flag in fifth position, marking his third top-five result across the final four races of the series. He claimed eighth in the championship points in the end.
    Justin Barcia:   "Salt Lake City was a good way to end the Supercross season. I felt very comfortable all day, which landed me finishing second in the Heat race, and I’m happy to end the season with a top-five finish on my GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition. I’m focused and ready for the outdoors now!"
    The second 250SX East/West Showdown of the year was a challenging one for Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing, with Pierce Brown qualifying fifth and then replicating that result in the 250SX East Heat, but he had to settle for 12th in the Main Event. That result saw him finish the season fourth in the final standings on his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition.
    Utah was also a mixed outing for 250SX West newcomer Ryder DiFrancesco, the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing rider qualifying in P7 and then racing to ninth in the western regional Heat race. He was 13th in the 250SX East/West Showdown Main Event, which maintained 12th position overall in his first season of AMA Supercross as a professional.
    Ryder DiFrancesco:   "I started out today decent and kept working to improve throughout the day. It wasn't what we wanted overall, but going into the outdoors fresh now and am looking forward to that."
    GASGAS amateur standout Cole Davies once again made a major impression in winning the 250SX Supercross Futures Main Event in Salt Lake City, crowned the AMA National Champion in the category following what has been a breakout year for the New Zealander on his GASGAS MC 250F.
    Cole Davies:   "It's definitely good to get this experience in the Supercross Futures and I've improved at each round. I'm super excited to win this title with GASGAS and really appreciate everybody who has been behind us this year!" Next Race:  May 25 – Pala, California (AMA Pro Motocross)

    FOURTH IN DENVER SUPERCROSS A CONTINUATION OF JUSTIN BARCIA TURNAROUND

    Ver Perfil
    A fourth-place finish from Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing rider Justin Barcia at Denver's penultimate stop of the 2024 AMA Supercross Championship saw him continue his rapid run of late-season form, making further progression that he's been building upon in recent weeks.
    • P4 result Bam Bam's best finish since San Diego podium
    • Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing makes further gains
    • Ryder D returns in an inspired ride to 11th position
    Barcia qualified ninth on his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition, before racing to fourth in the second 450SX Heat race of the round. After completing the opening lap in P6, a consistent effort in the Main Event saw him move forward to a fourth-place finish, which has in turn elevated him to ninth in the championship standings following 16 of 17 rounds. Justin Barcia:  "Practice and Qualifying were good today, and then the Heat race was okay, even if fourth wasn't exactly what I wanted. Going into the Main, I knew the track had deteriorated and that my bike would work good on that in the hard-pack. I got a pretty good start, had a lot of intensity in the race, and we were just off the podium in fourth. All in all, it's been a positive couple of weekends, and we've got one more to go in Salt Lake City – podium or bust!"
    The resumption of 250SX West saw Ryder DiFrancesco back on track tonight inside the Empower Field at Mile High stadium equipped with the GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition, where he qualified in P9 and then was fourth position in Heat 2 after leading initially.

    Trouble at the beginning of the Main Event saw him wedged at the back of the pack, however, from there he climbed all the way back to 11th by race's end in a well-earned result. He continues to sit 12th in the series with one round left to run.
    Ryder DiFrancesco:  "Denver was okay, but not the result we wanted. In the Heat race I got a holeshot and led a few laps, which was good. In the Main Event I went down on the opening lap and ended up 11th, but came back even if I didn't ride very well. I'm excited to try and finish up good next weekend before we head outdoors!"

    HARD-FOUGHT SIXTH-PLACE RESULT FROM JUSTIN BARCIA IN PHILADELPHIA

    Ver Perfil
    Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing's Justin Barcia's run of late-season form continued in the 2024 AMA Supercross Championship at Philadelphia with a sixth-place result in the 450SX Main Event, while teammate Pierce Brown was denied a shot at the 250SX East podium following a final lap mishap.
    • Bam Bam puts up a fight for sixth position in 450SX Main Event
    • Pierce Brown in 250SX East podium fight until late crash
    • Just one race remains in eastern region and PB sits third!
    Barcia was only a second outside of P1 at the end of Qualifying on his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition and stopped the clocks in 10th position, before recording a P3 result in the opening premier class Heat race of Round 15. He was consistent on his way to P6 in the Main Event, withstanding pressure from behind, and maintains ninth in the series points table.
    Justin Barcia:   "We had a good practice today, qualified P10 and I was quite happy with that because we were within a second of the leader, so that was cool. Heat race, it was good, but nothing spectacular. In the Main Event, I came out top-five on the start and rode really well, then got a little tight in the middle. At the end – or really from the mid-stages of the race – Hunter [Lawrence] was on me and we had a really good battle – it was like the hardest fought sixth-place battle ever! I'm really happy with my ride, even if not so much the result. We're on the up and up, the bike was extremely good today, and I'm looking forward to the last two races in Supercross and onto the outdoors."
    250SX East teammate Brown was also on the gas in Philly, despite qualifying in seventh position. He rode his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition to fourth in Heat 2 and then factored up front in the Main Event until a crash entering the final lap while positioned in P3 unfortunately saw him drop down the order to a 14th-place finish.
    Brown has moved to third place in the eastern regional point standings with just one race remaining in the series, while next week we'll see the return of Ryder DiFrancesco in 250SX West at Denver. Both will be on track in Salt Lake City's 250SX East/West Showdown for the Supercross Finals.

    SOLID TOP-FIVE FINISH FOR JUSTIN BARCIA IN NASHVILLE SUPERCROSS

    Ver Perfil
    Back inside the top five and forming a platform to build upon, Nashville was kind to Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing's Justin Barcia with a P5 finish in the 450SX Main Event tonight. And he's eager to keep trending in the right direction with just three rounds remaining in the 2024 AMA Supercross Championship!
    • Bam Bam scores first top-five result since Round 3 podium
    • Pierce and Ryder D go head-to-head in 250SX East/West Showdown
    • PB maintains fourth in eastern regional series standings
    The result marked Justin's best since he was third in San Diego toward the beginning of the year, continuing to make progress on his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition, and satisfied with his night inside Nissan Stadium. Bam Bam was 13th in the afternoon sessions and then improved to sixth in his Heat, before featuring closer to the front of the pack when it counted, and he's currently ninth in the standings.
    Justin Barcia:   "Practice was decent, didn't feel like I was lighting the world on fire, and didn't qualify where I wanted, but all-in-all it was okay. Heat race, rode average, so I knew I needed to get it together, and we made a few changes for the Main Event. We got off to a decent start, made a lot of passes in the first couple of laps, and then I felt like I rode really well under pressure in the middle of the race. I made a charge toward the end and finished fifth – a top-five feels really good. We've been working hard, but it's been very challenging, and it's good to be closer to where we want to be. We've got a few more races, so we'll keep at it!"
    Nashville also marked the first 250SX East/West Showdown of the year, where both 250SX East regular Pierce Brown and 250SX West recruit Ryder DiFrancesco met on track riding their GASGAS MC 250F Factory Editions.
    PB was on the gas in Qualifying for P3 on the eastern region and then recorded a second-place score in his Heat, before things came unstuck for him in the Main Event. In the end, he took the checkered flag in 11th but has retained fourth in the 250SX East point standings.
    Pierce Brown:   "It wasn't the best night and I'm a little frustrated. I was in a really good spot on the first lap of the Main, made a mistake in the whoops, and that cost me. I feel like I left a good result out there, but sometimes you've just gotta move on. We definitely need to improve the result in the next race, but I felt great on the bike all day and that's what matters. I just need to bring my best version of me to Philly!"
    After setting the eighth-best lap of qualifying in 250SX West, Ryder D led his share of the restarted Heat race on his way to a confidence-boosting third-place result, but had to settle for 19th in the Main Event after striking trouble. The high-profile rookie is now positioned 12th in the championship order with two rounds in class left to run.
    Ryder DiFrancesco:  "All day was good for me here in Nashville. I led the Heat race for a while until the last lap, so that was cool to finally lead some laps, and then in the Main Event my start wasn't good, but I basically came from last to around seventh or eighth in the middle stages. At that point I went for a pass, ended up falling down, and was pretty far back in the pack from there. Everything else was really good throughout the day though, so I am excited for Denver."

      RAPID CONSISTENCY CONTINUES FOR PIERCE BROWN WITH FOURTH AT FOXBOROUGH SUPERCROSS

      They say consistency is key and that's exactly what Pierce Brown continues to deliver with Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing in 250SX East, finishing fourth for the third-consecutive round and maintaining his string of top-five scores in AMA Supercross 2024.
      • PB keeps his top-five run intact with fourth position
      • 250SX East title is still within reach with three rounds to run!
      • Bam Bam finishes just outside of the top 10 in 450SX
      Brown has been in career form on his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition this season, continuing to knock on the door of an elusive podium. Despite only sitting eighth at the end of qualifying, he jumped to P4 in his Heat race and then replicated that result in the Main Event with a P4 finish. Pierce is also fourth in points, just 15 outside of the red plate.
      Pierce Brown:   "Foxborough was an alright night! I feel like I struggled throughout the day and then I pulled it together in the Main Event. I had a decent start and then rode consistently in fourth, which was all I had tonight. We'll go back to work next week and then see you guys in Nashville!"
      Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing 450SX contender Justin Barcia also gained strength as Round 13 of the season went into the night program, racing to fourth position in Heat 1 of the premier class. Bam Bam then powered his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition to 11th in the Main Event, which wasn't the result he was looking for but will be one to build upon into the final four races of the AMA Supercross season.
      Foxborough saw the Supercross Futures drop the gates again, where GASGAS-backed Cole Davies qualified in second position during the afternoon. He recovered from an early mishap in the Main Event, climbing from outside the top 10 to take the checkered flag in a solid fifth position.

      SIXTH OVERALL CAPS OFF SOLID ST. LOUIS TRIPLE CROWN FOR JUSTIN BARCIA

      Ver Perfil
      Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing's Justin Barcia finished sixth in the third and final Triple Crown stop of the 2024 AMA Supercross Championship, with teammate Ryder DiFrancesco matching his 250SX West season-best result with P8 overall.
      • Supercross takes on final Triple Crown round of the season
      • Sixth overall for Bam Bam following 6-4-10 scorecard
      • Ryder D matches his best result of the year in 250SX West
      Despite qualifying down the order in 14th position, Barcia meant business once the gates dropped on the trio of Main Events and was consistent on his way to sixth in Race 1. He once again factored inside the top 10 on his way to fourth place in the second race, before 10th in Race 3 capped off his night. That placed Bam Bam sixth overall on his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition, still positioned ninth in the standings. Justin Barcia:   "St. Louis was a little difficult in practice, being an extremely tough track, really soft and rutted. We had to make little changes throughout the day, and I got really comfortable by the second Main Event. We're making a lot of progress, so now we've gotta make it happen for a result – we never give up and we'll keep at it." Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing teammate Ryder DiFrancesco qualified 10th this afternoon and then improved on that to post seventh-place scores across the opening two races of the night. An early fall while in top-five contention saw him finish 12th, which saw him credited eighth overall for the weekend. He's now ranked 13th in the point standings after equaling his best result of the year on the GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition. Ryder DiFrancesco:   "Tonight was good. We had three very good starts and that was a plus. In the first one I went back to seventh, and then in the second race I ran third for a long time, but was seventh again. In the last one, I went down on the first lap, came back to 12th and that gave me eighth overall, so it was a lot better. Starting up front makes things a lot easier and I had fun tonight!" St. Louis also saw the Supercross Futures back in action, where GASGAS-backed Cole Davies claimed another podium finish in third position. After winning Anaheim 2 and then placing second at Daytona, it was his third top-three result of the year onboard his GASGAS MC 250F.

      JUSTIN BARCIA BATTLES TO TOP 10 FINISH IN TECHNICAL SEATTLE SUPERCROSS

      Ver Perfil
      Seattle produced some of the toughest conditions of the year in the AMA Supercross Championship at Lumen Field, but for Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing's Justin Barcia it was another opportunity to keep making progress in 450SX, and that's what he did on his way to ninth position in the Main Event at Round 11 of the season.
      • Bam Bam battles hard on his way to third-straight top 10
      • Fourth in Heat race displays the promise of Barcia and MC 450F Factory Edition
      • 250SX West resumes with Ryder D racing to 13th after a late mistake
      Off the back of finishing ninth in Birmingham and eighth in Indianapolis, Barcia has been regaining form in recent weeks and that continued by qualifying P8 and then finishing fourth in Heat 1 on his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition. He ran as high as fifth in the 450SX Main Event, only to go down in the second half of the race and he wasn't able to recover from there on his way to P9. Justin Barcia:   "I had a good practice today and the track was tough all day. In the Heat race, I got off to a bad start, but charged through the pack really well and was P4, so I was happy with that and I felt really good going into the Main Event. It was a good start in the Main, I was riding well and was battling with the guys even though I rode a little bit tight in the beginning. I loosened up in the middle, but unfortunately had a crash and didn't ride to my ability after that. We're getting there, getting better every weekend and our time will come, but until then we'll keep working and get after it!" The 250SX West season resumed with round six of that series, as Ryder DiFrancesco looked to make an impact on his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition. He was 12th in practice after being greeted by muddy conditions, but rode to fourth in his Heat race.
      A late crash in the Main Event dropped him outside of the top 10 to 13th place as he took the checkered flag, but it's clear that our Supercross newcomer will be able to build upon that result in the coming weeks as experience builds.
      Ryder DiFrancesco:   "It was a decent night and I feel like I rode better than what the results obviously show. The track was tough, but it was a good day and I was able to improve with stuff that I worked on during the break. Unfortunately, I went down on the last lap and lost around five positions, but St. Louis should be good and I'm excited to head into the Triple Crown round there."

      PIERCE BROWN KEEPS CHARGING WITH P4 FINISH AT INDY TRIPLE CROWN

      Ver Perfil
      Fourth place overall marked another convincing performance from Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing rider Pierce Brown in 250SX East at the Indianapolis Triple Crown round of the 2024 AMA Supercross Championship, remaining in the title race over halfway through the season. 450SX teammate Justin Barcia is trending in the right direction after taking P8 overall tonight.
      • PB rebounds from opening race to land on 250SX East podium
      • Second in the final race the highlight for Brown in tricky conditions
      • Encouraging eighth overall continues Bam Bam's 450SX climb
      A tough opening race saw Brown recover from an early crash for 12th and then he managed to salvage fourth despite going down again in Race 2, before his best ride of the night was saved for last when he charged to second position riding the GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition. That 12-4-2 scorecard placed him fourth overall for the second week in a row, continuing his perfect stretch of top-five finishes and he's still third in points – only 11 outside of the red plate.

      Pierce Brown:   "Fourth overall, I'm not stoked, but not mad about it after a rough first main. The second two were better with a fourth and a second, so I just need to eliminate those mistakes and we will get there. It was a good way to finish the night in P2, and we will keep pushing from here!"

      Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing teammate Barcia was also impressive tonight, ripping his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition to 7-9-6 results. After qualifying P8 during the afternoon and then consistently factoring inside the top 10 tonight, his results are on the up and Bam Bam has also now worked his way to ninth in the championship order.

      Justin Barcia:  "I qualified P8, so I was happy with that today and the bike was working really well. First race was a bit of a blur – I don't really quite remember! – but in the second one I was riding well even though I made a few too many little mistakes. Third race, I was all over the guys at the end for a top five and pulled up in sixth. All in all, it was a positive weekend and we're gonna keep pushing hard to have better results and get back on that podium soon."

      SEASON-BEST FOURTH POSITION FROM PIERCE BROWN IN BIRMINGHAM

      Ver Perfil
      Birmingham's ninth round of the 2024 AMA Supercross Championship was a solid one for Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing, where Pierce Brown recorded a season-best fourth-place finish in 250SX East and Justin Barcia rode to ninth position in the 450SX Main Event.
      • Pierce Brown goes one better for his best result of the season in P4
      • Bam Bam finds a new direction to begin mid-season turnaround
      • Team looks ahead to next weekend's second Triple Crown of the year
      Brown was once again a factor in 250SX East, qualifying in position five during the afternoon and then charging to P2 in his Heat race. From there, he raced to a season-best fourth position in the Main Event, continuing his consistent run of top-five results on the GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition. He's still third in the point standings, only five points outside of the lead following four rounds.
      Pierce Brown:  "I'm happy, but not satisfied. We're still in it in the points, but it wasn't the Main Event that I wanted. I made a couple of mistakes, which cost me a podium, but that was on me – we need better starts. Like I said though, we're in it in the points and I'm stoked with that heading into Indy next weekend! I just need to keep knocking on the door, doing what I'm doing and we'll get it eventually. Overall, we're trending in the right direction!"
      Tonight was an important one for Barcia on his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition. He was eighth on the charts in qualifying and then surged to fourth place in his Heat, before claiming an encouraging ninth in the 450SX Main Event. That result moved him inside the top 10 in the standings as we move into the second half of the season.
      Justin Barcia:   "Overall, it was a good night, and we had a lot of positives to take away. We went in a different direction with set-up this week and it has given me the comfort I've been looking for, so ready to get back home and put in more work to keep progressing."

      FIFTH AT DAYTONA SUPERCROSS KEEPS PIERCE BROWN IN 250SX EAST TITLE CONTENTION

      Ver Perfil
      Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing's Pierce Brown made it a third-straight fifth-place result to open the 2024 AMA Supercross Championship in 250SX East, delivering another solid performance at the famed Daytona International Speedway.
      • Third-straight top-five result for PB in 250SX East
      • Improvements evident as Justin Barcia climbs 450SX order
      • Both riders qualify strong at the world-famous venue
      Brown has been a picture of consistency this year equipped with the GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition, going 5-5-5 across the opening three rounds of the eastern region and is now tied for P2 in the standings, only a single point behind the series leader. He qualified fourth and then replicated that finish in his Heat Race, before scoring P5 in the Main Event.
      Pierce Brown:   "Another fifth was okay on paper, but a disappointing night. I didn't get the start that I needed and it was hard to make passes, so we'll regroup and pick some stuff up for next week. Overall, the bike is good and the team is also, I just need to get a start and put myself into position sooner."
      The weekend was a step forward for Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing rider Justin Barcia in 450SX, qualifying in sixth place and then storming to P5 in the opening Heat Race. He was affected by an average start in the Main Event, completing lap one in P18, before putting on a charge to claim 11th position on his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition.
      Justin Barcia:   "Daytona definitely wasn't the result we wanted, but we had some positives in practice, qualified a lot better today and there's some light at the tunnel, which was cool. Led a little bit in the Heat, like half a lap, and then got a bit tight and ended up going down once, but it was okay. In the Main Event, I didn't get off the start the best, had a couple of bobbles, crashed and really just struggled to hold on – I had some bad arm-pump tonight. We'll regroup again and be back at it next week!"
      Daytona also saw the 250SX Futures on track for the second time this season, where GASGAS amateur racer Cole Davies charged to second position in the Main Event and currently sits on top of the point standings following his 1-2 results to date on the GASGAS MC 250F.

      SPEED ON PIERCE BROWN'S SIDE IN ARLINGTON WITH ANOTHER TOP-FIVE FINISH

      Ver Perfil
      Outright speed was evident yet again for Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing's Pierce Brown in the latest round of the AMA Supercross Championship, with Arlington marking the second stop of 250SX East for season 2024.
      • Team celebrates Military Appreciation Round at AT&T Stadium
      • Second-straight fifth place boosts PB to second in the 250SX East
      • Bam Bam overcomes afternoon crash to claim 450SX points
      Pace has been on Pierce's side so far across the opening two rounds of 250SX East riding his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition, qualifying in third position today before finishing sixth in his Heat Race. 

      The start didn't go his way in the Main Event, however he managed to put on a charge from outside of the top 10 to fifth position by the time the checkered flag waved. With 5-5 scores to open the series, he's climbed to second in the point standings.

      Pierce Brown:   "Overall, not a bad weekend. Riding was good and I think we improved as a whole, so that was good. We got another fifth, but we're second in points now and we're in this – I'm excited! Now we're back to work on Monday to tighten a few things up before Daytona this weekend."

      Premier class teammate Justin Barcia pressed on in 450SX following a heavy crash in practice, able to put a difficult afternoon behind him to transfer via a win in the LCQ and then push to 14th in the Main Event. He's now 11th in the championship, motivated to regain full fitness and his front-running form on the GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition.

      Justin Barcia:   "Tough day here in Arlington. I had a big get-off in the final practice, lucky to somewhat come out of it alright with no big injuries – just a bit of whiplash, a bit bruised up, and a bit sore. Unfortunately, a crash in the Heat put me in the LCQ, which I won, and then in the Main Event I got in a second turn pile-up. I put on a good charge, was moving through the pack, and was about to crack into the top 10, but had another crash so that pretty much ended my hopes of a good result. It was a really tough weekend, but we're gonna go back to the drawing board and keep working. We never give up."

      TROY LEE DESIGNS/RED BULL/GASGAS FACTORY RACING LOOKS AHEAD FOLLOWING GLENDALE

      Ver Perfil
      Glendale marked the toughest night of the 2024 AMA Supercross Championship season so far for Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing, with team riders Justin Barcia and Ryder DiFrancesco each experiencing their share of adversity, but remaining motivated to bounce back in the coming weeks.
      • 450SX Class contender Justin Barcia battles hard throughout Main Event
      • A fall in the 250SX West Class Main Event marked the end of Ryder D's night
      • Troy Lee Designs x Palm Tree Crew collaboration turns heads in Arizona
      Barcia and his Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing MC 450F Factory Edition charged to a sixth-place finish in his Heat Race, ensuring Bam Bam a place on the line and a decent gate selection as the Main Event arrived.
      The Main Event would mark a challenging outing for the experienced premier class front-runner, who battled hard just outside the top 10 before going down and eventually being credited with 18th position. He's currently 10th in the 450SX standings entering a single weekend off.
      With the return of the 250SX West division inside State Farm Stadium, Ryder D completed qualifying in eighth position, equipped with his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition, before racing to sixth place in his Heat Race and enjoying a share of momentum leading to the night’s Main Event. An unfortunate crash, however, saw DiFrancesco end his night prematurely in Glendale with a DNF, but will be fit to race-on in Arlington next month. He will also take advantage of the upcoming six-week break in the 250SX West schedule.
      Max Lee – Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team Manager:   "It was a tough night for the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS team. Ryder started out strong during the first part of the day, he had a couple of bad starts, but ultimately a crash in the Main ended his night early. He was evaluated and released, so will be ready to line up at the next 250 West round. Justin struggled all day, the team worked to get things better, although he ended up crashing in the Main as well. We're ready for a weekend off to regroup and we’ve got some work to do before Arlington." Results – 2024 AMA Supercross Championship, Round 6

      TROY LEE DESIGNS/RED BULL/GASGAS FACTORY RACING'S PIERCE BROWN CHARGES TO TOP-FIVE FINISH IN DETROIT

      Ver Perfil
      Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team's Pierce Brown opened his 250SX East campaign with a fifth-place finish at the region's season-opener in Detroit, as 450SX Class racer Justin Barcia raced to a P12 result at Round 5 of the AMA Supercross Championship.
      • The 2024 AMA Supercross Championship shifted East inside Detroit's Ford Field 
      • Pierce Brown recovers for fifth place finish as 250SX East Class season takes off
      • Fastest in qualifying the highlight for in-form Brown to open the new series
      Barcia arrived in Detroit onboard his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition, dialing his machine in throughout qualifying before capturing third place in his Heat Race.  The Main Event would mark a more challenging outing for Bam Bam, who was buried off the start as the gates dropped. On a rutty, one-lined circuit, the number 51 did what he could to mount a comeback, which resulted in 12th place on the night. Justin Barcia:   “Struggled a little bit in practice to find a flow today... the track was super-technical with the ruts. I had a really good Heat Race, it was nice to get the fresh track as the first race of the program, so that was cool. Charged up to third in the Heat, then made a little change heading into the Main Event, and unfortunately it was the wrong direction as I was pretty uncomfortable. Not so good result, but we’re determined to work hard and come out swinging in Arizona!” In his first appearance of 2024, Brown showcased speed immediately as the 250SX East Class opened in Detroit, taking his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition to pole position in qualifying and demonstrating the work having been done throughout the pre-season. Converting his speed to third position in his Heat Race, a mid-pack start for Brown and being caught up in a multi-rider incident to commence the Main Event saw him playing catch up as he sliced his way through the field, capturing a strong fifth place result by race's end.  Pierce Brown:   “Round 1 for us is over and done with, I got the nerves out of the way which feels good. Overall, not a bad day, I got away lucky especially with what happened at the start of the Main… that was hectic! Salvaged a fifth, which isn’t too bad, and we’re in a good spot for the upcoming races, so I’m excited to put some work in and come out swinging at Round 2.” Results – 2024 AMA Supercross Championship, Round 5 450SX Results – Detroit SX

      TRIPLE CROWN CHALLENGE FOR TROY LEE DESIGNS/RED BULL/GASGAS FACTORY RACING AT ANAHEIM 2

      Ver Perfil
      The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team endured a challenging night out at Round 4 of the 2024 AMA Supercross Championship in Anaheim, California, with 450SX Class racer Justin Barcia credited P13, while 250SX West Class contender Ryder DiFrancesco finished with eighth overall.
      • Ghostbusters partnership headlines first Triple Crown round of the year for AMA Supercross
      • Ryder D posts consistent scorecard to seal P8 finish in 250SX West division
      • MXGP World Champion Jorge Prado delivers 12th overall in final 450SX Class appearance of the year
      Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing’s Barcia arrived at Angel Stadium in style, as the team collaborated with Sony Pictures for the upcoming Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire film, with Bam Bam seated behind the wheel of the iconic 'Ectomobile' before climbing aboard his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition.

      Race day marked a difficult one for the number 51, who struggled to come to grips with the dry, fast layout that Anaheim 2 presented to the riders. In a night marred with misfortune and falls, the New York native would post 13-16-11 results across the trio of intense Races, which would position him 13th overall.

      Justin Barcia: “It was a very challenging day for me at A2 and definitely one to leave in the past. I struggled from the get-go… I just wasn’t very comfortable. A few too many crashes, which ruined our races, although I did get good starts! In the second Race I was in a good position, then had a big crash. Race 3, I was caught up with another rider getting squirrely, which put me back, and overall just a very challenging day. We'll need a rebound in Detroit!”

      DiFrancesco opened Round 4 by posting the seventh-fastest qualifying time in 250SX West, which the young Californian would back up with a strong fifth place in Race 1 after fighting for the lead early on his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition. A consistent seventh-place in Race 2, combined with 12th in Race 3, saw Ryder D take home eighth overall for the weekend.

      Ryder DiFrancesco: “Positives from the weekend were my starts, they were way better, and then in Race 1 I was right amongst the fight. I made some mistakes across the day, but I'm ready to take this next weekend off and come back for Glendale in a better position.”

      Anaheim 2 presented another night of learning for defending MXGP World Champion Jorge Prado, gaining immense experience across the opening four rounds through the month of January.

      Racing his first-career Triple Crown, the Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing regular delivered a 12-8-15 scorecard, earning the Spaniard 12th overall for his final outing in AMA Supercross for the 2024 season.

      Jorge Prado: “Just finished my racing here in the U.S. and it’s been a great experience. I would say that this was my second real Supercross behind Anaheim 1, because this one and A1 seemed like the track was more realistic to Supercross with the conditions. I’m happy with my progress, the Triple Crown today was way different again... So much speed and intensity in the first laps, and I struggled with that, especially in the first one. I dropped back to P12 quickly, so I made more adjustments for the other two. But overall, I am quite satisfied, it’s been a good experience, for sure, and with more racing I could get better, so I am motivated for the future.”

      Anaheim 2 also saw the opening stop of the 250SX Futures development category, where new GASGAS amateur recruit Cole Davies won the Main Event to commence his 2024 AMA Supercross campaign in fine fashion on the top step of the podium.

      PODIUM SCORE IN SAN DIEGO FOR TROY LEE DESIGNS/RED BULL/GASGAS FACTORY RACING’S JUSTIN BARCIA

      Ver Perfil
      Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team’s Justin Barcia rebounded in style following a spell with illness to claim a strong third-place finish in the 450SX Main Event in San Diego, as 250SX West Class contender Ryder DiFrancesco finished with a consistent P9 result.
      • Bam Bam battles to first 450SX podium of the 2024 season inside Snapdragon Stadium
      • Ninth-place finish for newcomer Ryder D in the 250SX West Class Main Event
      • MXGP World Champion Jorge Prado to race Anaheim 2 after an 11th-place result
      Barcia collected the 12th fastest time in a tight 450SX qualifying session this afternoon, before racing his way to a solid fourth-place result in his Heat Race on the slick surface following constant rainfall in the area throughout the day. Launching out of the gates on board his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition in the Main Event, Barcia was inside the top three immediately as he began battling for the lead, shadowing the leaders as the race progressed. In what was a grueling encounter, he posted a calculated ride as the race wore on, with the number 51 sealing the third position. Justin Barcia:   “San Diego was a crazy day! We only had two practices, as the weather came in, so I qualified decent, but not where I wanted to be. Although, I kept a cool head and got through the Heat Race with a solid result. Main Event, I knew it was going to be gnarly – the track broke down a lot! I got off to an okay start, found second behind Aaron [Plessinger], and then missed the triple one lap, which let Cooper [Webb] get by me. Came in with a lonely third place, but super-stoked after last week and knowing that my health is nearly back to 100 percent.” DiFrancesco commenced Round 3 by posting the seventh-fastest qualifying time in 250SX West, which the youthful Californian would back up with fourth place in his Heat Race as he geared up for the night’s Main Event. A mid-field start followed by a consistent ride on a brutal track surface saw DiFrancesco piece together a race that saw him take the checkered flag in P9, as he navigated the treacherous conditions inside Snapdragon Stadium. Ryder DiFrancesco:  “Good weekend overall! I need to fix little mistakes that are keeping me from being upfront, but lots of positives to take away as we head into Anaheim again next weekend.” San Diego marked another consistent night of Supercross racing for defending MXGP World Champion Prado, whose third-career AMA Supercross event yielded the capable young Spaniard a sixth-place finish in his Heat Race for a direct transfer into the Main Event. Prado would follow that up with an 11th-place finish in the premier class Main Event, and the good news is that he and the Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing Team have made the decision for him to remain in the U.S. and line up again at Anaheim 2 next Saturday. Jorge Prado:   “Today was another good experience. It was again not too easy after getting a bad start in the Main Event... I think the jump out of the gate was okay, but I got a lot of wheel spin, which sent me backward and meant I was one of the last to the first corner. My opening laps weren’t great, and then I got confused with the blue flags and let the riders who I was battling with by me, which was a pity. It is what it is, I can improve with my opening lap intensity, but I’m excited for three Main Events next weekend in the Triple Crown at A2 as I would like to at least be able to make one holeshot and enjoy that format of racing!” Results – 2024 AMA Supercross Championship, Round 3 450SX Results – San Diego SX

      PROMISE ON SHOW FOR TROY LEE DESIGNS/RED BULL/GASGAS FACTORY RACING IN TOUGH SAN FRANCISCO CONDITIONS

      Ver Perfil
      The second round of the 2024 AMA Supercross Championship marked a mixed night out for the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team, with 450SX contender Justin Barcia salvaging points after battling through sickness this week, and Ryder DiFrancesco experiencing the highs and lows of racing in the 250SX West Class.
      • Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team’s battles in the mud of San Francisco
      • Ryder D earns first Heat Race victory before enduring difficulties in the Main Event
      • Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s MXGP World Champion Jorge Prado raced to a 450SX Heat Race victory and seventh position
      Round 2 marked a challenging night for Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing’s Barcia, who put in a warrior-like effort to endure the treacherous conditions while managing an illness. He qualified his way into the Main Event via the LCQ, where he would pilot his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition to 17th place. Justin Barcia:   “Crazy day here in San Francisco, crazy event. I got a serious sickness coming into this race, so I couldn’t ride or train, had to hit the hospital a couple of times, and I'm just really happy to be here. It was really tough with the weather, and unfortunately, my body was pretty hammered – made it hard on myself by going to the LCQ, but all-in-all it was a survival mode weekend for me. I'm happy to be in one piece and am looking forward to being healthy and putting my bike up front.” DiFrancesco opened his San Francisco race day by posting the 13th-fastest time in the sole qualifying session, before rocketing out of the gates aboard his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition in the second 250SX West Heat Race to the holeshot. Intent on checking out, DiFrancesco built a staggering 20-second margin between him and the second-place rider, sealing the first Heat Race win of his career in impressive fashion. An unfortunate start to the Main Event for DiFrancesco had him buried deep in the field, with the Californian ultimately ending up with an unfortunate DNF in the mud. Ryder DiFrancesco:   “It was a good night here until it wasn’t! All day I felt good in the mud, I don’t know where that comes from – maybe Bakersfield when it’s muddy, but that’s once a year... It was good to get my first Heat Race win, which is a cool feeling! We have a bunch of stuff to work on, but good thing we get to line up again next weekend.” Current MXGP World Champion Prado made his second AMA Supercross start in San Francisco with 12th in qualifying, quickly followed up by a massive Heat Race holeshot and a thrilling performance to secure the opening 450SX Heat Race victory. A measured ride during the Main Event saw the Spaniard claim a commendable seventh-place result. Jorge Prado:   “Second round is done, and I am very happy about everything. I feel like I got used to the format already after last weekend, which is a big adjustment for me, especially learning a new track in eight or nine laps. But hey, good start in the Heat and some good opening laps, stayed consistent, and got my first-ever Heat Race win! I was super happy about that because I’m not a big mud specialist, then in the Main Event the gate dropped very quickly, and I got a bad start. I slowly made my way through the field and only wanted to stay on the bike, that was my goal, so with seventh place, I am very happy.” Results – 2024 AMA Supercross Championship, Round 2 450SX Results – San Francisco SX

      Consistent results for Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team at AMA Supercross season-opener

      AMA Supercross roared back into action at the famed Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, this Saturday, as the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team entered the fray with Justin Barcia securing seventh place in the 450SX ranks, with new recruit Ryder DiFrancesco taking ninth place in 250SX West.
      • Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team’s Justin Barcia finishes with seventh place at the season-opener
      • Ryder DiFrancesco races to ninth place in 250SX West Class on first outing with GASGAS
      • Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing's MXGP World Champion Jorge Prado delivers P13 in Supercross debut
      The buzz surrounding the opening round was in the air as riders met for the first time in months, hitting the track for the opening qualifying session of the year eager to showcase the improvements made throughout the off-season. For Barcia, limited seat time following his recovery from injury saw him land P13, equipped his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition. Fifth position in his Heat Race earned Barcia a direct transfer into the Main Event, where he would charge hard all race long inside the top 10 and translate his pace into a seventh-place result to begin his 2024 challenge Justin Barcia:   “Anaheim 1 was a stressful day and mostly because of the unknown... I didn’t have the strongest off-season I’ve ever had in my career, but I just used my veteran skills and had a good day! Qualifying wasn’t where I wanted to be, but I kept a cool head and had a decent Heat Race. And then in the Main Event, I made some good passes there and then had a good battle with Chase [Sexton], Aaron [Plessinger], and a couple of other guys, then tightened up a little bit at the end there. All-in-all, I was happy to get a top 10 and the goal for the season is to build as we go.” Piloting his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition for the first time in race conditions, DiFrancesco was on the gas from the outset, improving from 11th in qualifying and racing to a sixth-place finish in the opening 250SX Heat Race of the year. A top-10 start saw DiFrancesco battling for position throughout the entirety of the Main Event, pushing hard to move his way up the order. Ninth place was the result by the conclusion of the race, banking a solid amount of points and experience as the series next heads to San Francisco. Ryder DiFrancesco:   “It was a good night for A1, the first round is always a bit nerve-wracking, and it’s just the little things, like making it through the Heat Race into the Main Event. They’re things that no one really thinks about, so that was a huge check-off for me, and I know I have a lot more in me! Ninth isn’t where I want to be, but I ran fifth or sixth for half the race and I’m now stoked for San Francisco.” Lining up for his first career start in 450SX, all eyes were on defending MXGP World Champion Jorgo Prado as the Spaniard debuted in the tight confines of Supercross. After posting the ninth-fastest qualifying time, The Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing rider signaled his intentions early, and a solid eighth place in his Heat Race resulted in a direct transfer to the Main Event. Prado powered out of the gates to one of his patented fast starts in the Main Event, mixing it up amongst the top Supercross riders in the world as he battled for position. Noting the track deterioration during the race, he gained invaluable experience under the lights of Angel Stadium, and finished in 13th place. Jorge Prado:   “First-ever Supercross race is done, and what an experience! It’s so different from what I am used to, and it was just a day of building. I felt good in practice every time, and then the night show the track was so different. I’m used to riding the test tracks with a harder base and different whoops, so every time I tried to go through these ones, they were so different, which made it difficult and unpredictable. I didn’t find a good flow in the Main Event, but got a good start. I think next week we will move in the right direction, especially with having one race under my belt, and P13 I think is not a bad start.” Results – 2024 AMA Supercross Championship, Round 1 450SX Results – Anaheim I SX

      Defending MXGP World Champion Jorge Prado to open 2024 season with AMA Supercross cameo

      Ver Perfil
      A two-week shakedown in Southern California training at RD Field is all it took for defending MXGP World Champion Jorge Prado to make the decision to try his hand at AMA Supercross, set to make a fascinating cameo appearance across the opening three rounds of the 2024 season.
      • MXGP World Champion to make AMA Supercross Championship debut in 2024
      • Partnering with the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team
      • Planning to line up in 450SX Class at Anaheim 1, San Francisco and San Diego
      That's right, our Spanish sensation is in for Anaheim 1, San Francisco and San Diego this coming January, equipped with the GASGAS MC 450F in what will be his first-ever American Supercross start – straight into the premier 450SX ranks on debut. And we're stoked to see it! Fresh from clinching the 2023 FIM Motocross World Championship in the MXGP category, which was a milestone achievement for both himself and GASGAS with the Davide De Carli-managed squad, Jorge had expressed his lifelong dream of sampling the sport of Supercross – and potentially making a 450SX start! – in the United States. From there, accompanied by a blitz of media attention throughout his brief off-season excursion, the capabilities of the the talented 22-year-old were evident from the outset while applying his craft within the tighter confines of training on a full-scale supercross track layout. Together between Jorge, his regular Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing Team and the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team, it was decided that he will go on to contest the opening three rounds of the 2024 AMA Supercross Championship in a bid to gain experience via a series of gate-drops and race mileage in the U.S. during what will still be the Grand Prix off-season. Jorge Prado:   “Since I started riding my dream has always been to one day race in the U.S., specifically to race Supercross. I have watched it my whole life on television and always thought it must be great to race under lights with a huge crowd and atmosphere! And more specifically, it must be great to race at an iconic stadium like Angel Stadium. I was lucky enough in 2015, while visiting and training in the U.S., to go to Anaheim 1 – it was a great experience and made me want to try it even more. So given I won the MXGP title this year and am totally healthy and looking for a new challenge, I thought it was the perfect time in my career to come and train in USA properly to prepare for a few Supercross races. I don’t want to waste another whole year wondering if I could or should, so I am here and I am going to try it out. I’m really looking forward to it and am lucky enough to have the full support of my Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing Team back home with Claudio and Davide de Carli, and the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team here in the USA behind me.” Roger De Coster (Director of Motorsports, North America):   “The main goal for Jorge in 2024 is to defend the world title he earned this past season, but of course we are excited to see what he can do on a Supercross track. We all know that he is very talented, given he’s already a multiple times Motocross World Champion, having won in MX2 and being the current MXGP Champion. However, we also know that Supercross at the highest level is extremely competitive and to race with the top here requires a lot of toughness besides talent, so this will be a huge challenge for him. We wish him the very best and are glad that with the support of TLD GASGAS we are able to support his wishes to try Supercross!” Davide De Carli (Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing Team Manager):   “Jorge fulfilled his dream in Europe to become MXGP World Champion this year and we are so proud of him. His desire now is to train in the U.S. and to try Supercross, because he hasn't had the opportunity until now and from our side he completely deserves it. We, as a team, along with Pit Beirer and Robert Jonas have been completely open since day one with Jorge about giving him the opportunity to race Supercross and we will support him from Europe! We can’t wait to see him line up at A1 as it’s important for him to race those first three rounds to clarify in his mind where his racing future is, as he’s still really young and can try it out. It’s also good winter training for him before the start of the MXGP season, where his goal is to defend his number one plate in 2024.

      SAM SUNDERLAND WITHDRAWS FROM RALLYE DU MAROC FOLLOWING STAGE ONE

      Ver Perfil
      After putting in a courageous effort to complete the opening stage at the 2023 Rallye du Maroc, Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Sam Sunderland has made the difficult decision to withdraw from the event. Unable to race at 100% following his pre-race crash, Sam, with the support of the whole team, will now focus on getting back to full fitness before beginning to prepare for the upcoming Dakar Rally in January 2024. It’s been a challenging year for Sam. Following a highly successful 2022 season where he claimed his second-career Dakar Rally victory, the Brit went on to be crowned FIM World Rally-Raid Champion. But in racing, anything can happen, and the cards certainly didn’t fall Sam’s way in 2023. Heal up soon, Sam, and we’ll see you at Dakar ‘24.

      Andreas Hölzl – Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing Team Manager:   “This is for sure not the way we wanted to end the season with Sam, but as he’s still suffering from his pre-race crash, it was the right decision for him to withdraw after stage one. Everyone at Red bull GASGAS Factory Racing supports his decision and now Sam will rest, recover, and begin focusing on the upcoming Dakar Rally in January.”

      Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing has signed Ryder DiFrancesco for the 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) season, spanning the AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross Championships, as well as the high-profile SMX Finals series.
      • Ryder D is GASGAS-bound for 2024 onboard the MC 250F Factory Edition
      • Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing lands talented teenage prospect
      • 2024 season will mark DiFrancesco's first in 250SX regional division
      Still just 18 years of age, Ryder D is regarded as one of the sport's finest young talents in U.S. competition, emerging from a highly-decorated amateur career into the professional ranks this year with immediate promise and a share of encouraging results.
      The 2024 season will see DiFrancesco line up for his rookie 250SX campaign – the specific region yet to be determined – when the gates drop on Supercross early next year, in addition to his second term of lining up outdoors in 250MX, and the SMX post-season.
      Max Lee, Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team Manager:   "We're super-excited to have Ryder DiFrancesco join the team for the 2024 racing season. He has a lot of talent and a good work ethic, so I think he’s a great fit for the group and the GASGAS brand!"
      After beginning this year in Supercross Futures, Ryder went on to contest the entire Pro Motocross Championship, achieving four top 10 overall results in 11 rounds, and a season-best of sixth at Ironman Raceway's final round, which earned him 10th place in the standings.
      DiFrancesco continued that form at SMX Playoff 1 in Charlotte, where he finished fourth overall, and would eventually race to 12th position in the 250SMX Championship. Now, the opportunity to GET ON THE GAS arrives, and the teenager is eager to take on fresh challenges in a new environment, equipped with the razor-sharp MC 250F Factory Edition.
      Ryder DiFrancesco:   "I am very excited to make the transition to the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team for my first full professional season! I’m ready for new challenges and learning a new bike, which is the exciting part of what's ahead together."

      Pierce Brown scores highest finish of SMX World Championship season

      Ver Perfil
      Visiting the birthplace of Supercross, the Los Angeles Coliseum, the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team was looking for strong finishes to close out the SuperMotocross playoffs.
      • The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing was a beehive of activity all day long as this is close to their home turf
      • Justin Barcia had a tough end to his ’23 campaign
      • Pierce Brown had his best race of the SMX Playoffs
      250 Pierce Brown stepped things up for the final round of the SMX Playoff, qualifying in third position, and setting himself with a great gate pick for the night’s racing. When the gate dropped for the first moto, he rounded the first turn in 13th aboard his MC 250F Factory Edition, picked off a few spots on the first lap, and powered his way up to eighth by the checkered flag. For the second moto, he was 11th around the first turn, and sixth by the time they finished the first lap, and fifth at the finish. That gave him seventh overall for the night, and 11th overall in the series. Pierce Brown:   “The last round of SuperMotocross is done and dusted. All around it was a pretty good day. I qualified good. In moto one I had a bad start, but I ended up eighth. In moto two I got a better start, and I ended up fifth so I was happy with that. I feel like I was riding good all day...I'm happy with it. I'm ready to take some time off and then get back to work. " 450 For Justin Barcia, his night was spectacular, but unfortunately, far too brief. Justin has had a string of great starts during the SMX Playoffs, and that continued in the Coliseum, as he powered his MC 450F Factory Edition into second as he rounded the first turn. He had made a pass for the lead on the first lap, but a hard crash immediately after that put an end to his night. He finished his season in seventh overall among the 450 class competitors.

        Justin Barcia finishes sixth in Chicagoland SuperMotocross

        The second round of the SuperMotocross Playoffs gave the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team a chance to rebound from a tough first round, and they found a very fast and flowing circuit at Chicagoland Speedway.
        • Double points meant double opportunity for the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team
        • Justin Barcia scored a 4-10 for sixth overall
        • Pierce Brown tallied a pair of 11th-place finishes for 11th overall
        450 Once again showing starting prowess and the power of his MC 450F Factory Edition, Justin Barcia rounded the first turn in the top three. He briefly moved to second before being passed by a pair of riders who moved him to his eventual fourth-place finishing spot. In the second moto, he once again rounded the first turn in the top two, despite starting well on the outer half of the gate. Unfortunately, a crash in the sand section dropped him to 11th, and he was only able to pick up one spot before the finish. Still, his 4-10 moto finishes were good for sixth overall, and he currently holds down the seventh spot in the 450 standings. Justin Barcia:  “Chicagoland was a good day. I had good qualifying sessions, I was feeling good and had a good first moto. In the second moto I had a crash in the sand, and I was pretty stacked up from there, I couldn't really make any passes and struggled a little after that. That was a tough second moto. But the first moto was really good so we had a few positives this weekend and I'm looking forward to getting back to California, doing a little bit of work before the last race, and going out with a good last race at the L.A. Coliseum.” 250 For Pierce Brown and his MC 250F Factory Edition, his day was all about 11th. Two 11th-place finishes resulted in an 11th overall. Pierce Brown:   “I felt a little under the weather all day. I just didn't have what I needed, so we're just going to rest up and get ready for the last round."

        The Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing team ventured to an all-new venue in Lombok, Indonesia, for today's round of the 2023 FIM Motocross World Championship. The man-made facility marked the conclusion of the Asian excursion and another successful race for the GASGAS duo; Jorge Prado and Simon Längenfelder got on the gas to gain trophies in their respective classes.
        • Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing finish the Asian adventure.
        • Jorge Prado extends his gap in the championship standings.
        • Simon Längenfelder climbs back on the MX2 overall podium. 
        Jorge Prado took full advantage of the Grand Prix of Lombok-Indonesia and added another two points to his championship advantage. Prado won the qualification heat, which has become a specialty of his, before really shining in the first moto today. '61' started third in the heat and put on quite a charge to claim the lead with just two laps remaining! It was a brilliant showing and backed up with a second in the final stint, which placed him second in the event's overall classification. Prado is one hundred and three points clear in the championship standings – eight rounds remain now that the eleventh fixture is complete. Jorge Prado:  " It has been a good weekend. We extended our championship lead as well, but the most important thing is that we are riding well. We won the qualification heat and moto one – it is always good to do that. I am really looking forward to the next two rounds that are coming up. I won Loket in 2021 and always enjoy Lommel. " Still less than two months on from the arm injury that he sustained in May, Simon Längenfelder impressed at the Grand Prix of Lombok-Indonesia. '516' pushed into fifth in moto one, despite a mistake, and shined in the second stint. Ending lap one in fourth, he charged up to second and was just seven seconds shy of the winner when the checkered flag flew. 5-2 scores put him third in the overall classification and helped him maintain eighth in the championship standings. Simon Längenfelder:  " It is so good to be back on the podium. Not many people expected this, including me! I was fifth in the first race and did not think about the podium after that. I was happy to stay consistent in the second race. Now we will work on the weekend off and keep getting stronger.

        Bringing the 2022 outdoor trial season to a close at the iconic Monza road racing circuit in northern Italy, GASGAS rider Luca Petrella has secured a spot on the podium with team Italy having finished a strong second, sandwiched between winners Spain and Great Britain in third. Competing as the only GASGAS Factory Racing team member in the event, Benoit Bincaz led team France to a fourth-place result.

        • GASGAS Factory Racing’s Benoit Bincaz secures fourth with team France
        • Monza event wraps up 2022 outdoor trial season
        Held inside the iconic Italian road race circuit, the 2022 Trial des Nations served up a host of man-made sections, with home fans out in force to support Petrella and the Italian national squad. Fired-up for a podium result from the start of the day, Italy and Petrella made a strong start to lap one, only falling behind eventual winners Spain from section five onwards.

        Completing lap one with the second lowest score, Italy held their nerve to put in an impressive team performance on lap two. Dropping just eight marks, compared to Spain’s one mark and Great Britain’s 19, they secured second to give GASGAS mounted Petrella a well-deserved home podium result.

        Riding together with Hugo Dufrese and Gael Chatagno, GASGAS Factory Racing’s Benoit Bincaz competed his international outdoor season with a fourth-place result as France ended the day 18 marks behind Great Britain.

        Thanks to the combined efforts of GASGAS riders Erika Melchoir and Huldenborg Barkved, Norway placed fourth in the Women’s Trial des Nations while Maddie Hoover helped the USA finish seventh. Leonor Moreira and Olivia Brunsvig played their part in Portugal and Denmark finishing eighth and ninth respectively.

        In the International Trophy, GASGAS riders took two places on the podium with Martin Matejicek helping the Czech Republic secure a winning result while Marco Mempor and Fabio Schollar helped team Austria to a place on the podium in third after a close-fought battle with Sweden.

        Benoit Bincaz:   “It’s been a fun time here at the Trial of Nations. Unfortunately, despite fighting for a place on the podium, France ended up fourth, which is a little disappointing, but we all gave our best and it’s still a result to be proud of. Being in Monza was pretty special, a great place to end the outdoor season. Now it’s time to keep training and prepare for the final X-Trial event in October.”

        Albert Cabestany – GASGAS Factory Racing Trial team manager:   “It’s been great to welcome riders from all around the world to the Trial des Nations here in Italy. For GASGAS, and for many others, the event is the last major outdoor international competition of the season, so there is a special atmosphere. It’s great to see these riders that don’t get the chance to compete with the TrialGP regulars being a part of the event, enjoying themselves, and doing their best. For us, it was a pleasure to help and work with many of these riders, and also to see GASGAS on the Men’s podium with Luca Petrella.”

        BENOIT BINCAZ FIFTH AT X-TRIAL BARCELONA

        Ver Perfil
        Returning to form following two challenging rounds of X-Trial World Championship competition, Benoit Bincaz finished a strong fifth at the fourth round of the series - X-Trial of Barcelona - to match his top-five result at the opening event of the 2022 X-Trial series.
        • Bincaz finishes fifth at X-Trial Barcelona
        • Frenchman sits seventh in championship standings
        • X-Trial now takes a six-month break ahead of final two rounds
        Benoit Bincaz:  “Like at the opening round of the championship in Nice, it’s great to have made it through to the second round here in Barcelona, and to have been close to the podium, in fifth. After my positive start to the championship, it was frustrating that things did not go so well at the second and third rounds, which is what makes this result a positive one. I’m not totally happy with my riding because I did make some mistakes, but overall, I’m pleased and really enjoyed the event.”

        The second rider to take to the floor for the event’s first round, Bincaz made a positive start with just two marks lost on the opening section. Dropping a further five marks on sections two, four, and five, and three marks on section three for a total score of 20, the Frenchman made the cut into the night’s all-important second round.

        Again, the second rider into the five sections behind Norway’s Sondre Haga, Benoit, like all but one of his rivals, scored a five on the opening section. Delivering one of his best rides of the event in section two, Benoit matched the lowest score of all competitors with just two marks lost, before earning a five on a highly challenging section three. Riding well to claim three marks lost on the penultimate section four, with a five in the fifth and closing section, Bincaz claimed a total of 20 marks lost, placing him fifth, just seven marks from a place in the three-rider finals.

        With the 2022 X-Trial World Championship now taking a six-month break ahead of the final two rounds in Andorra and France, Benoit Bincaz, Miguel Gelabert, and the GASGAS Factory Racing team will turn their attentions to preparations ahead of the opening TrialGP World Championship event, which is set to take place in Spain on June 10-12.

        Albert Cabestany – GASGAS Factory Racing Trial Team Manager:   “Benoit’s result and performance has been a positive step forwards following two difficult weekends of X-Trial competition. He didn’t have the best of luck at the last two rounds, so to recover some confidence here has been important. Fifth here, like he was at the opening round, is positive. Of course, it could have been better, the podium was not too far away from him, but starting as the second rider into the sections on each lap wasn’t easy. Now we have two months before the start of the outdoor season. That gives the team plenty of time to practice. Benoit was second at the first outdoor trial championship event in France last weekend, so that was a good start. Together with Miguel Gelabert, all the team is looking forward to the start of the TrialGP World Championship.”

        • Sign up today to secure a place on the start line this season
        Co-forming the European Junior e-Motocross Series in 2021 together with Infront Moto Racing was such a highlight for GASGAS. When those 40 little shredders on e-powered dirt bikes zipped off the start line last September for round one, it was without doubt a super fun piece of dirt bike history. And with many racers competing on our innovative MC E-5, it was something we just knew we had to get involved in again in 2022!

        Offering something truly unique, the European Junior e-Motocross Series gives all future MXGP superstars the chance to compete on the same circuit, on the same day, as their racing heroes! And what’s more, the format mirrors the FIM Motocross World Championship too. Starting with a timed qualifying session to determine gate pick for the two points-paying races that follow later in the day, the top three riders overall will then climb onto the podium after moto two to celebrate in style!

        Kicking off in late May at the MXGP of Spain, the remaining four rounds take place alongside three further stops on the FIM Motocross World Championship calendar. After visiting France and Germany, the season ends with a bang at the MXGP of Czech Republic on July 16-17 with double header, two-day event where the series champion will be crowned!

        To enter the European Junior e-Motocross Series, riders must be aged 6-8 (age taken from January 1, 2022), be affiliated to their national federation, compete on a GASGAS MC-E 5 or similar spec dirt bike, and commit to competing in a minimum of three rounds. The series winner will receive an incredible prize - a trip for them (and one guest) to the FIM Motocross of Nations in the USA in September! In addition, anyone that competes in all five rounds will gain access to an exclusive three-day training camp at the end of the season, together with GASGAS pros! And, each and every rider competing on an GASGAS MC E-5 will receive a selection of cool GASGAS merchandise and accessories to really look the part in the pits.

        Rene Esterbauer, GASGAS Head of Global Marketing:   “Last year the European Junior e-Motocross Series was amazing and for 2022 it’s going to be even bigger! There’s no better way to introduce e-powered motorsports to a global audience while giving young kids the chance to experience something really special. Up until last year, a racing series at the MXGP World Championship for 6–8-year-olds didn’t exist so for GASGAS to play a huge part in bringing this championship to life, it’s definitely something very special for GASGAS. It’s not too long until the 2022 series starts and like everyone at GASGAS, I can’t wait to see 40 young racers having the time of their lives!”

        Tropical highs and lows for GASGAS at Indonesia Grand Prix thriller

        Ver Perfil
        The inaugural Indonesian Grand Prix at Mandalika saw GASGAS score points and a podium with Guevara and Garcia in Moto3, while Moto2 treated fans to high drama with a shortened race, with Albert Arenas finishing 10th and Jake Dixon retiring on lap five.
        • Izan Guevara secures second place at the 2022 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia, his second ever podium in Moto3, while Sergio Garcia finishes 4th.
        • Jake Dixon takes pole position in Moto2 but falls from the race while Albert Arenas takes 10th position
        • GASGAS Aspar Team riders bag points and podiums in Moto2 and Moto3 at the inaugural Indonesian Grand Prix at the Mandalika Circuit
        Following in the wheel tracks of a breathless season opener in Qatar, the heat and intensity of the 2022 season continued full-gas with a visit to the new Mandalika Circuit. Set alongside the tropical coastline in Central Indonesia; it is the first time that the venue has hosted the MotoGP ™ paddock. Come race day searing yet ultra-humid temperatures, combined with tough physical racing, characterized the action across all classes. The 17-turn, 4.3 km (2.6 mi) layout boasts a deceptively technical smooth but grimy ribbon of asphalt alongside the crystal clear waters of Lombok; setting the scene for some high-paced action on a new-school track. In Moto3 the battle for the podium with Izan Guevara and Sergio Garcia raged from lights to flag. Qualifying in 7th (Garcia) and 8th (Guevara) respectively, the Gaviota GASGAS Aspar Team duo featured at the head of a wild 23-lap race. Taking advantage of the first real dry running of the weekend - with Moto3 having weathered on-off showers for all of its scheduled sessions through Friday and Saturday. Izan Guevara put it all on the line and proved once again that he has a bright future ahead of him on the world Grand Prix stage. Guevara made a lightning start, jumping from 8th to 4th to 1st in the first two laps alone. Closely followed by teammate Garcia, the GASGAS powered duo were relentless, taking on all rivals over the full race distance. By the final flag Guevara secured second place - and his second ever podium in the class - in the wake of a runaway Dennis Foggia. Sergio Garcia narrowly missed out on final podium place, after taking hits from Andrea Migno and Carlos Tatay in the closing laps - finishing fourth by just one tenth of a second. The Gaviota GASGAS Aspar Team now lead the Team championship standings by 61 points. In Moto2 Jake Dixon led the Inde GASGAS Aspar Team effort by posting a blistering pole position securing lap during a sensational qualifying session on Saturday. Teammate Albert Arenas lined up on the second row in 6th place. A late curveball before the start saw the race shortened from 25 to 16 laps; meaning nothing short of maximum attack from lap one was the required strategy. As the dark clouds rolled in however - bringing spots of rain - Dixon slipped down to 3rd place off the start fighting with rival Sam Lowes. Unfortunately on lap five, Dixon fell foul to the dwindling grip levels, dropping his machine in turn 10 and retiring from the race. Team mate Albert Arenas negotiated a solid outing, converting his 6th place grid slot into a top ten finish. #11 - Sergio Garcia: “It was a positive day and a good race, where we pushed for the podium all the way. I felt strong on track but we were missing acceleration out of the corners, so I had to give everything I had to finish in fourth position. Anyway, these are important points for the championship and I’m happy.” #28 - Izan Guevara: “I'm really happy for my first podium this year. Thanks to the team for all their work here at Mandalika in tough conditions. The pace was incredible as well as the battles in the group. In the last two laps I pushed and made it to P2.” #75 - Albert Arenas: “Another race in the books, another near the top ten and more learning experience. The balance of the bike was good but I couldn’t get that comfortable on track and couldn’t push more. Tough conditions out there with the track and in certain corners but at least we had the race. Anyway we improved and can look ahead to Argentina to try and be better. We have potential.” #96 - Jake Dixon: “I had a tricky start, and caught up to Sam [Lowes], and then passed him. Then I re-focused to try and chase down  [Somkiat] Chantra. I felt I had the pace to do that. When I got to turn ten, I braked in the same place I did every lap - even on the data I did everything identical to the lap before, but for some reason I lost the front. I’m incredibly annoyed at myself - I want to say sorry first of all to the team, they gave me the bike to win the race today and I wasn't able to back that up!”   Results - 2022 Moto3 FIM World Championship, Round 2: 1.

        SAM SUNDERLAND RETAKES RALLY LEAD ON ADDC STAGE THREE

        Ver Perfil
        Another hot and tough day in the desert, but GASGAS Factory Racing’s Sam Sunderland braved the heat and came out fighting! Placing as runner-up on the 290km stage three of the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge the RC 450F racer now leads the provisional rally standings by four minutes and twenty-four seconds, with two days left to race.
        • Runner-up result moves Sam into provisional rally lead
        • Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge passes halfway stage
        • Dakar Champion leads rankings by over four minutes
        Sam Sunderland:   “Another long, tough day here at the Desert Challenge – it’s so hot here, it seems like they turned the cooker on for us when we arrived. It makes it tough on everyone I suppose. I rode on my own for most of today, which makes it tough to gauge your rhythm against the rest of the field, so I just tried to push and push. I’m back at the top of the overall now, but I think with two days left to go it’s going to be really close to the end.”

        The heat is on at the ADDC – literally! Faced with soaring temperatures of up to 40 degrees in the Liwa Desert, Sam faced a tough day of racing on stage three of the 2022 ADDC. Making up the second leg of the event’s marathon stage, the third day of the event was super challenging with a 255km timed special made up primarily of tricky to navigate dunes.

        After his ninth-place finish on stage two, Sam was able to get his head down and chase down the rider ahead of him. Despite pushing hard throughout the stage, the reigning Dakar Champion ended up racing much of the special on his own. Maintaining a strong pace and keeping a strong mind, the super-fast Brit was able to bring his RC 450F safely home to the finish in second place, after close to three and a half hours in the saddle.

        The excellent performance raises Sam up to the top of the rally standings again where he enjoys an advantage of over four minutes ahead of his nearest rival. Two days of racing remain.

        With a solid year of experience racing – and winning – aboard the GASGAS MC 450F in 2021, Barcia heads into the new year with high expectations for himself and the team. Coming out explosive, in true fashion, at last year’s season opener, Barcia led GASGAS Factory Racing to its first win in the premier class at Houston SX, following it up with three more podium finishes in supercross. He etched another “first” for the brand outdoors, claiming victory at the Spring Creek National and ultimately making four additional podium appearances throughout the summer.

I have a new mechanic, Ollie, which I’m stoked on; and we have a few other new guys on the team that are doing an awesome job. The whole GASGAS brand is really cool and it makes work a lot easier when you can have a lot of fun with the crew. We definitely have a strong team coming into this year and for me, I have my head down and working hard, having fun and ready to go for that championship!” 250 Riders With the 250SX series split into Eastern and Western championships, Lining up in the 250SX Eastern division again,team riders Michael Mosiman and Pierce Brown are bothis super excited to divide and conquer from coast to coast return to the GASGAS lineup aboard the MC 250F.

The new guys we have are just really qualityreally experienced and we’ve been having a lot of fun in pre-season. I’m really excited about the quality of riding that we’ve been putting in together and I can’t think of a bad day that we’ve had on the track. All of us have had some pretty good battles banging bars and it’s just been really fun. I’m just looking forward to the season, the comradery is better, the familiarity is better, the bike is better and all-in-all, we have a really well-rounded program and I think you’re going to see that in the results.” Team rider Lining up opposite his teammate in the 250SX class, Pierce Pierce Brown is ready to take on the 2022 season with a new race mechanic, Derik Dwyer, who brings years of championship winning experience to the relationship will represent the West coast in the 250SX class once again on the MC 250F.

He pushed hard to bounce back for the outdoor season but he wasn’t able to put together a full season on-track. Feeling fit, fast and on the gas, Brown is aiming for a strong and consistent year in 2022. Pierce Brown: “Everything has been going great this off-season! We have a couple new faces on the team – I have a new mechanic, Deriek Dwyer, and a new trainer, Wil Hahn, that came along halfway through outdoors last season. With those two added to the program, I feel like everything is coming together and I’m really stoked! I feel like I haven’t been this prepared for a season so far in my career, so it’s shaping up to be a really good year. Everyone on the team gels super well. We ride together every day and go to the gym together every day so it definitely makes things easier when you’re having fun. I’m excited! We’re going to turn some heads, for sure!” With Team Manager Tyler Keefe in charge of the program for its second year, the team is stoked to welcome our new Crew Chief Josh Wisenor, who comes to GASGAS with years of top-level experience in the paddock. Additionally, race mechanics Olly Stone (Barcia) and Derik Dwyer (Brown) complete a solid trio with returning wrench Jay Burgess (Mosiman); and team trainer Wil Hahn will begin his first full season with the team in 2022. Tyler Keefe: “Going into the second year with the GASGAS brand is very exciting. I think the first year went really well and we had some really good race results but honestly, we had a lot of positive momentum for the brand and for the riders. Bringing the fun back into our sport a little bit and getting creative on some marketing things has been fun and I think a breath of fresh air for the motorcycle industry and also for the Troy Lee Designs brand. Looking into 2022, having the same riders to build off of is exciting, and we’ve brought in some new crew members to help elevate the team, as well as our new trainer, Wil Hahn. We’ve been having a lot of fun and the whole team is working well together, so I think we’ll have some breakthrough races this year. The 250 guys are at a point to make a statement for themselves and solidify themselves as one of the guys to beat. Justin had a great season in 2021, so with him fine-tuning some things here and there, he’s going to build off that and try to be up front every single week. It should be exciting!”

        The GASGAS Aspar Junior team win the coveted ‘feeder’ championship to Grand Prix racing after Daniel Holgado ran to a safe 9th position in the first outing at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia last weekend.

        • Success story for GASGAS with the Aspar team and Moto3 machinery this season
        Riding the RC 250 GP machine taken to victory in Moto3 Grand Prix in 2021, Holgado showed he’s the next hotshot on the block by grabbing the FIM Moto3 Junior World Championship ‘bull’ by the horns. The teenager fronted the pack with four wins in the first five rounds to stake his claim to the crown. The Spaniard added another three trophies in the competition that circled Grand Prix venues on the Iberian Peninsula like the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto and MotorLand Aragon.

Along with the FIM Moto3 Junior World Championship, GASGAS also aced four Moto3 Grands Prix (France, Catalunya, Austria and the USA) and totalled seven podium appearances this year. Daniel Holgado : “I want to thank everyone who came to see me today, I owe all this to them because I really felt that support and it helped push me through those final few laps. I also want to thank all of my incredible team; I’ll really miss them next year and hope we can find each other again in the future. I’d like to congratulate David Muñoz and Iván Ortolá because they made a great season and were really strong rivals. It’s thanks to them that I was able to improve as a rider and also as a person by working hard day after day.”

        GASGAS FACTORY RACING CELEBRATE A SUCCESSFUL FIRST SEASON IN THE AMA PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP

        And just like that, our first season of AMA Pro Motocross action is done and dusted! And what a season it was. Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing had plenty to celebrate in its first year of racing on American soil. With a strong line-up of Justin Barcia in the 450MX class, as well as Michael Mosiman and Pierce Brown competing in the 250MX category, the newly bonded team experienced it all during 2021. From the highs of first-time wins, through the tough breaks of injury, and everything in between, one thing is for sure – our guys were on the gas this summer!
        • Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing embarked on their first AMA Pro Motocross Championship season in 2021
        • Justin Barcia gave GASGAS Factory Racing its first 450MX win at round six
        • Finishing strong this summer, Michael Mosiman is ready to get on the gas in 2022
        Coming off a momentous season in the AMA Supercross Championship, Justin Barcia and the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing team had high expectations for their first outdoor season together. Barcia has never been one to disappoint at a season opener and he came out swinging in true BAM BAM fashion, giving GASGAS Factory Racing its first-ever 450MX moto-podium with an exciting performance at Fox Raceway. Establishing himself as a contender early on, he collected his first overall podium of the season in front of a roaring hometown crowd at The Wick 338 National in Massachusetts, which set the stage for his next big milestone – securing the GASGAS its first overall victory at Spring Creek. On track for a top-three finish in the overall standings, Barcia suffered an unfortunate practice crash that kept him out of the last five rounds of the series. But the New York native is already healed up and ready to get on the gas at the start of 2022. In the 250MX division, Michael Mosiman and Pierce Brown brought an enjoyable dynamic to the team, both showing that they’re fierce competitors on the track! Mosiman’s highlight reel includes four moto-podiums on his MC 250F, including a breakthrough ride at the Spring Creek National to give GASGAS its first 250MX podium on the same day that his teammate Barcia claimed victory in the premier division. Mosiman had some minor injuries that kept him sidelined for three rounds but the young California native finished strong with second overall at Fox Raceway II, which has fueled his fire to come back even stronger in 2022. In his first full season outdoors in the pro ranks, Pierce Brown showed flashes of brilliance aboard his MC 250F. The Utah native collected several top-10s in the first half of the season and he delivered a career-best fifth overall at round seven before suffering a season-ending injury at the following round. The young rider is healing up nicely and should be ready to hit it hard during the offseason, eager to show what he’s got in 2022. Justin Barcia: “The first season in outdoors with the whole Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing team was awesome, it was just so much fun battling with the guys, going for race wins and just learning the team and the all-new GASGAS brand. It was definitely one of my most fun seasons going and it was really cool to get our first win for GASGAS, that was super special. Unfortunately, we had a little hiccup towards the end of the season and missed a few rounds but we’re just getting all healed up and ready to go for next year. We have a lot to look forward to in 2022, obviously the goal is a lot bigger and we’re super motivated to battle for championships!” Michael Mosiman: “It’s been an awesome first year with the team! We have learned a lot in our first season together and we’ve got so much to build on for next season. I’m so proud of the team and proud of myself for everything we’ve accomplished this year but I know there’s so much more to come. I’m looking forward to resting up during the off-season and then it’s time to get back to work and put things in place for our best season yet in 2022!” Pierce Brown: “All-in-all, we made some big leaps from last year with a podium in SX and top-five in MX, so that was a step in the right direction, for sure. One of my main goals at the start of this year was to make it to every round and that didn’t happen, which I’m pretty bummed about, but we’re going to clean up some mistakes for next year and that should bring the consistency and better results will come. We’re going to regroup in this offseason right now and come out swinging for 2022. Thanks to the team and everyone for making all this happen, I know it was a tough year but everyone is still behind me 100% because they know my capability and I can’t wait to show them.” After his first season aboard the new GASGAS effort, Team Manager Tyler Keefe is stoked on the foundation his team has built in 2021 and he’s looking ahead to bigger and better things come next season! Tyler Keefe: “Our first season of outdoors went really good! We started out strong with a couple top-five finishes at the first few rounds and then Justin came out and won Spring Creek, which was huge for the team as the first win for GASGAS in the 450MX class, and to top it off, Michael got second overall on the 250 that same day. We had a few little hiccups with some injuries during the break but overall, I think it was really good and it’s something we can build on for 2022 and try to get some more wins!”

        Dutch Moto3™ podium delight for Sergio Garcia and the Gaviota GASGAS Aspar Team

        Ver Perfil
        Sergio Garcia romped to a blistering second place podium finish after a thrilling 22 lap race at the 2021 Motul TT of Assen The legendary Dutch circuit of Assen provided the perfect venue for Sergio Garcia and the Gaviota GASGAS Aspar Team to showcase just why they are fighting for the top spots in the Moto3™ World Championship. Second place, and a haul of 20 points - cementing 2nd in the riders standings - went Garcia’s way after a breathless 22 laps.
        • Sergio Garcia races to his 3rd podium of the season, finishing 2nd at the 2021 Motul TT of Assen
        • Izan Guevara qualifies 13th and finishes 12th
        • Gaviota GASGAS Aspar Team places second in the team championship standings after nine rounds of the 2021 Moto3 World Championship
        There is almost no better feeling on a Grand Prix bike than going flat out on a bright and sunny day around one of the fastest, and the oldest venues of the MotoGP calendar. The legendary and sweeping Dutch TT circuit, known to fans as the Cathedral of Speed is a firm favourite for many riders, and the perfect venue to score points and experience some awesome racing. Sergio Garcia knows this - and showed fans exactly why he is destined for big things in the future - by racing to his third podium of the season so far.   The 18 year old Spanish young gun lined up in 4th position aboard his GASGAS RC 250 GP machine, and made short work of his rivals during the opening laps of the Dutch race. In what proved to be one of the overall fastest Grand Prix of the year so far - where lap records tumbled on multiple occasions - Garcia set the white hot pace amongst the leaders. Despite the speed of eventual winner Dennis Foggia, Garcia frequently nosed into first place throughout the race, and used his incredible late-braking skill to close down any gaps that his rival had pulled on the straights In the closing laps, Garcia kept the gap to less than two-tenths of a second. In fact, as Garcia rocketed through the final turns on the last lap, the 18 year old very nearly snatched the win from Foggia. He crossed the line just 0.078 behind the Italian. Gaviota GASGAS Aspar Team rider Izan Guevara recorded a solid top 12 finish, after a challenging race. The former Junior Moto3 World Champion, who turns 17 years old on the Monday after the Dutch Grand Prix, worked hard to find a consistent rhythm. Qualifying on 13th place on the grid, Guevara battled hard in the mid pack, and despite slipping outside the top fifteen on lap six, fought back into the points by the second half of the sprint. The Gaviota GASGAS Aspar Team and the Moto3 paddock now enjoy a much deserved month-long summer break, after which they head for Austria, and the Michelin Grand Prix of Styria on the 8th August. #11 - Sergio Garcia: “I really enjoyed this race a lot today. I think this was potentially the fastest race we have had in the Moto3 World Championship all year so far. I was pushing as hard as I could, right until the finish. I was leading at times during the race, but the positions were changing so much between me and the other riders in the leading group. I had a small moment on lap 17 or 18 when I dropped back to 5th, but then I fought back. To fight for the podium in such a fast race is an amazing feeling.” #28 - Izan Guevara: “It was not quite the race we hoped for, but we took some points today. We were looking quite good during the weekend but there was a crash in Turn 5 quite early on in the race and that meant it was tough afterwards to catch the group in front. We had good rhythm but could only make a few tenths back. Anyway, I’m happy and we’ll keep working like this to push onwards.” Jorge Martinez (Gaviota GASGAS Aspar Team Manager): “It was a fast and surprising race where the front group eventually broke away. Sergio laid on a spectacular performance and, in my opinion, is the finest rider in the class at the moment. He rode very well considering the straight line speed of Foggia’s bike, so I just want to congratulate him for a very impressive job all weekend.” Results - 2021 Moto3 FIM World Championship, Round 9: 1. Dennis Foggia (Honda) 22 laps; 2. Sergio Garcia (GASGAS) +0.078 , 3. Romano Fenati (Husqvarna) +0.207, 12. Izan Guevara (GASGAS), +13.555 Championship Standings - After Round 9: 1.

        HISTORIC NIGHT FOR TROY LEE DESIGNS/RED BULL/GASGAS FACTORY RACING TEAM AT HOUSTON SX SEASON OPENER

        Ver Perfil
        GASGAS Factory Racing made history today in AMA Supercross World Championship racing, taking their first-ever 450SX Main Event win thanks to a flawless performance by Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia. With the brand making an exciting U.S. Supercross debut at Round 1 in Houston, Texas, Barcia furthered the historic night by winning his third-straight SX season opener – the first rider to accomplish that feat in 25 years. Teammate Michael Mosiman had a strong start to the season in his first race aboard the MC 250F, earning seventh-place in the stacked 250SX Eastern division.
        • History made as Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing take first-ever AMA 450SX victory
        • Justin Barcia furthers historic night by winning his third-straight SX season opener – the first rider to accomplish that feat in 25 years
        • Successful top-10 race debut for Michael Mosiman on the MC 250F
        In true fashion, Barcia set fire to his MC 450F right away as he charged to the holeshot in 450SX Heat 1, immediately establishing his presence out front. Hitting his marks under pressure, Barcia rode smooth and steady to maintain control of every lap, making history by stamping the brand’s first-ever 450SX heat race win.  Barcia didn’t hold anything back when the gate dropped for the Main Event as he blitzed off the line to just miss the holeshot and command the lead right away on lap one. Fighting off multiple attempts from Ken Roczen to take over the lead, Barcia held strong out front for all 28 laps of the Main Event, where he proudly stood atop the podium as the first 450SX winner in 2021. Justin Barcia:  “Kenny [Roczen] honestly pressured me so hard the whole race but I held it together, it was really awesome. I can’t thank the whole Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing team enough, that was an insane race! I’m glad I did the three-peat, that wasn’t the goal, but this is the first one of hopefully many more and I just want to be in the fight all year and not just a one-hit wonder.” In his first gate drop of the new year, Mosiman settled nicely into third early in 250SX Heat 2. He kept on charging aboard his MC 250F to successfully lock in a third-place transfer to the Main Event. Mosiman had a top-10 start in the main and he passed up to sixth early on. While running just outside the top-five in a freight-train of riders, Mosiman ended up going down in the midst of chaos but he quickly got up and salvaged a respectable seventh-place for the night. Michael Mosiman: " Tonight wasn’t the results that I was hoping for but I learned a lot and I know what I need to improve on moving forward. Lucky for me, we are racing again on Tuesday and I’m excited to show everyone what I can do on my MC 250F this season!” The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team will get back to racing in three short days with the second round of the 2021 AMA Supercross Championship taking place in Houston, Texas once again.   Results – 2021 AMA Supercross Championship, Round 1 450SX – Main Event 1.  Justin Barcia (GASGAS)  28 laps; 2.

        LAIA SANZ ENJOYS 11TH CONSECUTIVE DAKAR RALLY FINISH

        Ver Perfil
        Adding another astonishing chapter to her remarkable career, GASGAS Factory Racing’s Laia Sanz has today successfully completed her 11th consecutive Dakar Rally. Saving her best until last by claiming 17th on the final stage, Laia not only brought the super-challenging event to an emotional and positive close but again underlined her position as a true Dakar legend.
        • Laia completes a staggering 11th consecutive Dakar Rally
        • 17th overall she again finishes as the highest placed female competitor
        • On the gas for over 51 hours, Laia’s GASGAS RC 450F runs faultlessly
        Laia Sanz:  “I’m just super happy to finish. It wasn’t that long ago that we didn’t know if we would even be here, so to ride up onto the podium at the finish, yeah, it’s just incredible. With what has been happening in the world this year it makes this one a little more special. My approach to the rally worked for me, riding a safe and manageable pace and I just wanted to reach the finish. I felt really good after the rest day so I could push a little more and ended the rally strong. My team has been amazing. Supporting me the whole time and my bike was perfect all race. So, thanks to them I’m so happy to complete another Dakar!”

        The 2021 Dakar Rally came to a close today with a relatively short 200-kilometer special. Setting off from Yanbu and leading to the finish line in Jeddah, it was far from an easy stage. Loaded with technical obstacles from the start, it provided one last demanding test for all competitors.

        Finishing this year’s Dakar proved to be challenging for all riders, very much including Laia. With the goal of simply completing this year’s rally, having had very little time to properly prepare for the event after contracting Lyme Disease last summer, the Spanish ace did exactly what she set out to achieve. Opting for a steady pace through the opening week, Laia reached the mid-race rest day without any major mistakes.

        After a much-needed day of recovery and relative relaxation, Laia felt much more confident in her physical ability to complete the event. Picking up her pace as the end of the rally drew nearer, the ‘Queen of the Desert’ went on to deliver her very best stage result on the final day of racing, earning a 17th place finish. Following a highly positive end to her Dakar, Sanz moved up to 17th in the final standings.

        Jordi Viladoms – GASGAS Rally Team Manager:   “It’s just amazing for Laia to complete another Dakar Rally. Coming back from her illness last year, we really didn’t know what to expect and the plan was to take it day by day. Completing the rally, her finishing record is now 11 in a row, a truly remarkable achievement. This year was an especially tough Dakar, one of the toughest for quite some time but every day she fought hard. I’m really proud of her for what she has achieved.”

        POSITIVE RESULTS FOR GASGAS FACTORY RACING AT MXGP ROUND 16 IN ITALY

        Ver Perfil
        GASGAS Factory Racing has enjoyed a solid showing at the MXGP of Trentino with Standing Construct’s Ivo Monticelli placing a spirited seventh overall in the highly-competitive MXGP class. Isak Gifting also delivered the goods, placing seventh and continuing his run of impressive results in the MX2 class. Isak’s DIGA Procross teammate Michael Sandner dug deep to deliver his best ever MX2 class results, putting together strong 14-13 finishes on his way to 12th overall.

        • Positive start to final MXGP triple-header for GASGAS Factory Racing
        • Standing Construct’s Monticelli matches season best overall result
        • DIGA Procross teammates deliver solid results on Italian hardpack

        The MXGP of Trentino kicked off the first of three events set to be held on the hardpack Pietramurata circuit over the coming week. With the season’s end now well withing sight, all GASGAS Factory Racing riders were focused on enjoying the Italian track and delivering solid results at round 16.

        Racing on home soil, Italian Ivo Monticelli qualified third fastest in MXGP, setting the tone for a positive day despite being hit from behind in the first turn of race one. Lucky to stay upright but dropping down the field, Ivo charged from 17th to 12th on the opening lap before slotting into ninth on lap four. Despite knocking on the door for eighth, he backed things down and raced to a solid ninth-place finish.

        A strong start in race two saw allowed Monticelli to take a tight inside line through turn two, to emerge in sixth and avoid the early race chaos. Then dropping back a few places to ninth, he formed part of a five-rider battle for fifth as the race progressed. Battling past Dylan Walsh and moving into eighth as the race reached half distance, Ivo maintained his position to the finish, going on to match his season best overall result of seventh.

        With the ink only just dry on his 2021 DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Racing contract, Isak Gifting proved he is just as capable on hard pack circuits as he is in the sand. Race one saw Gifting make a strong start with the Swede going on to enjoy a largely trouble-free moto. Maintaining sixth for most of the race, he lost just one spot at the halfway stage to Conrad Mewse, going on to claim a seventh-place finish.

        Race two was a little more lively for Gifting. Battling early on with teammate Sandner, he held down seventh place before withstanding pressure from last weekend’s overall winner Ben Watson. As the race entered the closing stages, Gifting lost his position, but then got lucky as Roan Van De Moosdijk tipped over, handing seventh back to Isak. Racing on to another seventh-place finish, the super-Swede placed seventh overall, his fifth consecutive top-10 result.

        Michael Sandner delivered a pair of impressive performances at the MXGP of Trentino. Strong starts in both races saw the Austrian run up front in the top-10, learning the pace of the leading riders as he went. Despite an unfortunate collision with another rider early in race one, which resulted in a bent clutch lever, the undeterred MC 250F rider raced to a 14th place finish, his best result of the season.

        Michael ripped to another strong start in race two and was looking good on the slick Pietramurata circuit. Placed well inside the top 10 for most of the race, he slipped back a few spots to 13th at the finish. A positive result nonetheless as it beat his previous best-ever moto result from race one! When paired together, Sandner claimed 12th overall, another career-best!

        Ivo Monticelli:  “Italian hardpack is a good surface for me! I really like this track and I felt comfortable all day. Qualifying was good, third place and I knew that with some good starts I would run top 10, and I did. Ninth and eighth in the races, this is where I should be. I’m in a good spot now and I’m excited for the last two GPs.”

        Isak Gifting:   “Another good day for me today. I felt good in the races and felt better as the races went on. I passed some really good riders today and seventh overall is a good result on hardpack for me. I learned a lot today and we can apply this for Wednesday. We’ll keep working and finish the season strong.”

        Michael Sandner:   “Awesome day for me today. Good flow and a good feeling in time practice. I was a long time on pole then in the end sixth, so this was really good for my confidence. First moto, good start in fourth and then I passed Watson for third. Unfortunately, Watson jumped into the side of me and I crashed hard but I’m okay! I finished 14th with a twisted clutch lever, so not too bad. Second moto, another awesome start. I was third for a couple laps and finished with a solid 13th place for 12th overall and my best results ever!”

        Both Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors return to action at the picturesque Pietramurata venue on November 4 for the penultimate round of the FIM Motocross World Championship.

        GASGAS FACTORY RACING SIGN PAULS JONASS AND BRIAN BOGERS

        Ver Perfil
        GASGAS Motorcycles have secured the signatures of yet more exciting racers ahead of the 2021 MXGP season! Hard-charging former MX2 World Champion Pauls Jonass teams up with the highly-capable Brian Bogers to complete Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing’s all-new MXGP rider line-up! With his all-action riding style, Pauls will be the perfect match for the awesome MC 450F as the Latvian looks forward to re-establishing himself as one of the world’s best. Delivering a strong run of results during 2020, Dutchman Bogers is ready to mix it up with the heavy hitters of the MXGP class.
        • Former MX2 champ Pauls Jonass leads GASGAS’ MXGP class assault
        • All-new rider line-up for Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing
        • Brian Bogers set to deliver the goods in 2021 aboard GASGAS MC 450F
        A proven MXGP racer, Jonass entered the grand prix scene in 2014, rapidly progressing to become MX2 World Champion just three years later. Placing as runner-up in 2018, the Latvian then moved to the MXGP class for the following season. In his debut 450cc campaign he was quick to find success, securing three overall podium visits and an impressive sixth place in the final standings.

        2020 was set to be Jonass’ breakout year but an untimely training crash ended his season early. Following months of rehabilitation and with his desire for success stronger than ever, he’s now back to full fitness, ready to bang bars and fight for podiums when the gate drops for the start of the 2021 season.

        Competing alongside Jonass, Brian Bogers also joins Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing for 2021. Currently ranked 12th in the 2020 MXGP World Championship, the Dutchman has been a constant threat for top-five results during recent GPs. Aiming for the top-10 in the final MXGP standings, Bogers, like his new teammate, will soon head into the off-season focused on testing and preparation ahead of the new MXGP season.

        Pauls Jonass:   “I’m really excited for my future with GASGAS. I have to thank the Standing Construct team for believing in me while I have been injured but I will be back to 100% and then I can start testing with the team. It’s an exciting time for me and my rehabilitation is going very well. I’m looking forward to a great future together with GASGAS and I look forward to achieving some great results when the 2021 season starts.”

        Brian Bogers:  “It’s a great feeling to be on the Standing Construct GASGAS team for 2021. I’m really looking forward to next season as I know the team is very professional and the bike is great. They have had impressive results over recent years, so it gives me a lot of confidence. It’s an exciting opportunity. I’ve had a strong season in 2020 and I’m ready for the next step with GASGAS in 2021.”

        Tim Mathys – Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing MXGP Team Manager:   “We’re excited to have two very capable riders for 2021, that give us an exciting all-new line-up. As a former MX2 World Champion, Pauls Jonass has already achieved great results in MXGP and has proved to be a rider with top-three potential. I am convinced that with the approach we have already used in our team, we can get the very best out of him. He is hugely motivated, and I believe that we can push him to an even higher level, just like we have done with many riders in the past. Our second rider, Brian Bogers, has matured a lot during the past season. He has proven during the last races, with 10 top-10 finishes in a row, that he is ready to have a breakthrough in the MXGP class. He is physically and mentally stronger and ready to compete with the big boys. Both Pauls and Brian are still young, so we will have a young, robust team that we can work closely with. Together with GASGAS Factory Racing we are confident in their abilities, and as a team we look forward to great results from both riders next season.”

This year, organizer Martin Freinademetz and his team have named the race ‘Vertical Madness’ – hinting at a seriously tough week for the riders, with the unpredictable autumnal Romanian climate likely to add to the challenges ahead.

        Fourth in 2019, Taddy will be aiming to make history by earning both his and GASGAS’ first victory at the demanding event. The experienced 37-year-old is fired up and more motivated than ever to make it happen!

        For 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 17th running of Red Bull Romaniacs has been moved from its established July date to late October. Local restrictions have also required event organizers to cancel the popular Prologue, traditionally held on the streets of Sibiu, and replace it with a time trial qualification day that will take place on Tuesday October 27.

        Taddy Blazusiak:  “It’s really weird to have the first race of the year in October, it also looks like it might be the only one we’re doing, so we’re lucky in that respect. My plan is to go as hard as I can and get a good result. I’m really motivated to start with GASGAS – it’s my first race in the new colors and I’m definitely looking forward to it. The bike is working well, we’ve done a lot of work over the year and I’m happy with the whole package. Hopefully qualifying will go well tomorrow and I’ll earn a good start position, after that, we head into the hills and it’s already looking like it’s going to be a tough four days of racing.”

        FIFTH OVERALL FOR ISAK GIFTING AT MXGP OF LOMMEL

        Ver Perfil
        DIGA Procross Factory Junior’s Isak Gifting has claimed fifth overall at round 15 of the MX2 World Championship. Improving with each passing week, at the MXGP of Lommel the super-Swede charged to an impressive runner-up MX2 finish in race two, which paired with his opening race eighth saw him earn another top five overall finish. DIGA Procross teammate Michael Sandner fought valiantly in both races to come up just short of scoring points. In the MXGP class, Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing’s Ivo Monticelli had another solid GP, scoring points in both motos on his way to 15th overall.

        • Standing Construct’s Monticelli continued point scoring rides in Lommel
        • GASGAS Factory Racing look ahead to final MXGP triple-header in Italy
        Round 15 of the FIM Motocross World Championship again saw Isak Gifting battle at the sharp end of the MX2 field. Racing at the grueling Lommel circuit for the third time in a week, race one started strongly for the confident Gifting. Moving forwards and into fifth place as the moto reached the 10-minute mark, a slight misjudgment resulted in an unfortunate crash. After being demoted to 11th, he displayed incredible fitness as he remounted and charged to the finish, making the pass for eighth on the final lap.

        Race two was nothing short of phenomenal for Gifting. Challenging for leading positions early in the moto, he passed MX2 World Championship leader Tom Vialle for third on the opening lap. Despite being repassed by Vialle, Gifting was unfazed and quickly retook third before breaking away and going on to inherit second position when Jago Geerts crashed out of the running. From there, Isak used a number of wide, fast lines to maintain his momentum as he raced to the finish and a deserved runner-up result.

        Michael Sandner was unfortunate to miss out on scoring points at the MXGP of Lommel. Dropping as low as 25th in the opening race, he kept his cool and reached 20th with three laps to go before frustratingly being demoted to 21st on the penultimate lap. Race two saw a number of crashes for Sandner, but the Austrian never gave up and ended the moto in 23rd place.

        In the MXGP class, Ivo Monticelli was the sole rider for Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing at the MXGP of Lommel. The opening moto saw the Italian charge forwards from 25th on the opening lap, advancing through the field throughout the 30-minute-plus two lap moto to claim 14th at the finish. In race two, Ivo frustratingly crashed out of 12th place on lap 11 before digging deep and battling to the finish. Passing two riders on the last lap for a 17th place finish gave Monticelli 15th overall.

        The MXGP of Lommel marked the final round of the hotly contested EMX125 series. David Braceras finished 11th overall, securing an impressive runner-up finish in the final championship standings. Guillem Farres placed third overall and ended the season in sixth place – strong results for both MC 125 racers.

        Isak Gifting:  “Just amazing. Another great GP and a great end to the week. Having some battles with the top guys in the class has been really good for my confidence. It was a shame that I crashed in race one but race two was amazing. Second place, I cannot complain. As always, I just went for it today. Full gas in both motos and another great result. I can’t wait for next weekend in Italy.”

        Michael Sandner:  “Today was a really tough one. Three crashes in both motos made it a really big struggle to find a good flow. A tough day but I’m looking forward to Italy and some hardpack to end the year strong.”

        Ivo Monticelli:   “It was hard work today. Lommel is always a difficult track and was made worse by the rain. My starts weren’t the best today. Race two was better. I had a good feeling with the bike but then I crashed out of 12th which was really disappointing. Overall, I’m healthy and I feel good on the bike. I just need to be in the battle early in the race and then I can be back in the top 10.”

        Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and DIGA Procross Factory Juniors head south to Italy for the next round of the FIM Motocross World Championship, round of 16 of the series and the first of three events set to take place at the Pietramurata circuit on November 1.

        FOURTH OVERALL FOR ISAK GIFTING AT MXGP ROUND 14

        Ver Perfil
        DIGA Procross Factory Junior’s Isak Gifting has delivered an incredible result at round 14 of the MX2 World Championship. In just his sixth race for the team, the young Swede claimed two fifth-place finishes at the brutally rough Lommel circuit, rewarding the MX2 class newcomer with an exceptional fourth overall. Isak’s DIGA Procross teammate Michael Sandner also impressed, claiming the moto one holeshot before racing to a 16th place finish. In the MXGP class, Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing’s Ivo Monticelli had a consistent, point-scoring day with two 12th place finishes for 11th overall.
        • Isak Gifting continues rapid progression in MX2 World Championship
        • Standing Construct’s Monticelli records 12/12 results at challenging GP
        • DIGA Procross’ MC 250F claims second MX2 class holeshot of the season
        Isak Gifting was the star performer for GASGAS Factory Racing at the MXGP of Limburg. A strong start in moto one saw the ever-improving racer then crash out of fourth place on lap two. Frustratingly, slipping down to 14th the Swede then put on an incredible charge. Utilizing a number of fast, sweeping lines to move forwards through the pack at a rapid rate, he slotted into sixth place at the halfway stage. Gifting continued with his blistering pace and inherited fifth position on the penultimate lap when Stephen Rubini crashed. Going on to bring his MC 250F home in fifth, Isak claimed a career-best MX2 result. From the drop of the gate in race two Gifting was fired up for another strong result, challenging for second place in the third corner. Losing time while trying to make the pass stick, he then settled into fourth, moving into third on lap eight. Two laps later the 19-year-old crashed but was quick to remount in fifth. Another crash on the penultimate lap saw him drop to sixth but undeterred, he charged back past Thomas Kjer Olsen and held on to finish fifth to claim an exceptional fourth overall.
        Michael Sandner claimed the holeshot in the day’s opening MX2 moto. Running up front for a number of laps, the Austrian then held seventh position before continuing to record consistent laps around the brutally rough Belgian circuit. Never giving up, Sandner placed 16th in the moto, collecting more MX2 World Championship points in the process. Race two wasn’t quite so prosperous for the Austrian. Unable to replicate his moto one start, he raced within the point-scoring positions before just slipping out of the top 20 in the closing stages.
        Ivo Monticelli delivered a pair of consistent results at the MXGP of Limburg, placing 12th in both races aboard his MC 450F. Not quite making the best of starts in race one, he pushed forwards and shadowed a battle for ninth place at the halfway stage. The Italian went on to claim 12th in the moto. Race two was much the same and with a trouble-free ride, Ivo claimed another 12th place, giving him 11th overall.
        Glenn Coldenhoff was absent from the MXGP of Limburg following his injury sustained at round 13. Unfortunately for the Dutchman, the compression fractures to two vertebrae in his back will take time to heal, bringing an early end to his season. The round three winner will now focus on a full recovery ahead of the 2021 season.
        In the EMX125 class, David Braceras claimed an impressive first overall with a 2-1 result to mark his maiden win in the class. Following three overall podium results in recent weeks, the Spaniard continues to hold down his strong second place in the championship standings with one round remaining.
        Isak Gifting:   “It’s an amazing feeling. Eighth overall and now fourth overall, I’m really happy. I knew from my qualifying time that I was on the pace, and I know my fitness is good so I was confident ahead of both races. Even with crashes in both races I was fifth place so it has been a great day for me. I did get a little tired towards the end of race two but I stayed on the gas until the end. We’re making some really great progress so I can’t wait until Sunday.”
        Michael Sandner:   “My day was not so bad with the holeshot in first moto. I rode for 20 minutes really good but then lost a little bit of my rhythm. I finished 16th so this was a good result for me. Second moto, I made a little mistake on the first lap and then I was dead last. I reached 17th but then I crashed again and lost my flow, finishing 23rd. I’m looking forward for a better GP on Sunday for the last one here at Lommel.”
        Ivo Monticelli:  “Today was tough, but I gave my best in both motos and two 12th place finishes is a step in the right direction. I know need to focus more on my starts so that I can run with the top guys and know the pace. Overall I’m happy, but now I need to move into the top 10 as this is where I should be.”
        Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and DIGA Procross Factory Juniors will next compete in the FIM Motocross World Championship at round 15 of the series on October 25, returning to the Lommel venue for the third and final time.

        ISAK GIFTING PLACES EIGHTH OVERALL AT CHALLENGING MXGP OF FLANDERS

        Ver Perfil
        DIGA Procross Factory Juniors’ Isak Gifting has placed eighth overall at the MXGP of Flanders with a career-best finish of sixth in the opening moto. Following up his impressive result with a strong eighth in race two, the young Swede secured a deserved top-10 overall result at round 13 of the FIM Motocross World Championship. In what was a difficult day for Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing, Ivo Monticelli raced to 11th in race two following a first turn crash while Glenn Coldenhoff was unable to compete following a crash in qualifying.
        • GASGAS Factory Racing overcome challenging GP with strong results
        • Isak Gifting charges to career-best MX2 result in moto one
        • Standing Construct’s Monticelli delivers inspiring ride in race two
        Round 13 of the MX2 World Championship proved to be a positive one for DIGA Procross’ Isak Gifting, who charged to an impressive sixth place in the opening moto. Moving into sixth on lap 10, the Swede maintained his composure and held on confidently for a career-best finish, also delivering GASGAS’ best MC 250F result to date.

        A lightning-fast start in race two saw Gifting reach the first turn with the leading riders before sliding out and crashing. Fortunate to escape unscathed, an impressive charge ensued that saw him reach the top 10 in just four laps before displaying exceptional fitness to continue forwards and move into eighth place with five laps to go. Holding strong, he claimed eighth to claim his second eighth-place overall finish of the season.

        Michael Sandner had a tough time at the MXGP of Flanders. Multiple crashes in race one saw him finish outside of the point-paying positions while in race two, a technical issue ended his day with no points. Sandner looks to bounce back on Wednesday for round 14 of the MX2 World Championship.

        In the MXGP class, Ivo Monticelli suffered a number of crashes in the opening moto, ending his race early. Bouncing back, and despite crashing in the first turn just as he had in race one, Ivo found his rhythm quickly as he charged through the field. Delivering an impressive display of riding, he finished just outside the top 10 in 11th place.

        Glenn Coldenhoff was absent from racing at round 13 of the FIM Motocross World Championship following a crash during timed practice. Falling heavily, the Dutchman was quickly transferred to a local hospital, where he remains overnight ahead of further examinations tomorrow. Thankfully experiencing no loss of sensation or movement in either his arms or legs, Glenn was diagnosed with compression fractures to three vertebrae.

        In the EMX125 class, it was a GASGAS 1-2 with Guillem Farres and David Braceras both taking a race win and a fifth-place finish over the two races. Farres claimed the overall victory thanks to his better second race result with Braceras joining him on the podium in second place.

        Isak Gifting:  “A very good day for me. In race one I stayed smooth and tried to minimize my mistakes. I knew I was in a good position and worked hard for that result. I was hoping for the same in the second one, but I slid out in the first turn and crashed. I had a great start and was maybe third or fourth so it was frustrating. However, I actually felt like my riding was much better than the first race and this something that I was even more satisfied with! Placing eighth from 34th position was great for me. Now I just need to recover and go again on Wednesday!”

        Michael Sandner:  “Today was difficult. Three big mistakes in race one and in second moto I had a technical issue which was unfortunate. I’m healthy and it’s only a few days until the next race so I hope to turn things around there and score more points.”

        Ivo Monticelli:   “It was nice to have a race close to the team workshop and somewhere we ride a lot so we knew what set up to use for today’s race, so we were confident for today. Unfortunately, I had a big crash in the first race in the first corner. I got up quickly, moved up to 15th but then I crashed with Cairoli and then again in the waves. I felt great in race two. Another crash on the start but I found a good rhythm and kept my focus. I was way down but came through to 11th which was really good. My bike and my fitness is really good so I’m aiming for better starts on Wednesday.”

        Both Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors return to FIM Motocross World Championship action on October 21 for the second of three consecutive events to be held at the Lommel racetrack.

        FOURTH OVERALL FOR GLENN COLDENHOFF AT MXGP OF SPAIN

        Ver Perfil
        Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing’s Glenn Coldenhoff has placed fourth overall at the MXGP of Spain, delivering strong 5-4 results at round 12 of the FIM Motocross World Championship. MXGP teammate Ivo Monticelli also enjoyed a pair of positive and consistent results to finish just outside the top 10 in 12th overall. DIGA Procross Factory Juniors’ Isak Gifting placed 10th overall in the MX2 class to continue his strong run of results with teammate Michael Sandner claiming 21st.
        • GASGAS Factory Racing enjoy point-scoring rides in all motos
        • Glenn Coldenhoff enjoys Spanish hardpack and positive result
        • DIGA Procross riders find consistency in MX2 World Championship
        Glenn Coldenhoff’s opening MXGP moto started strongly with the Dutchman placed third through the first turn. As the chasing pack barreled into the tight, third corner, many riders around Glenn tangled and left him with no option other than to stop to avoid crashing. Nearly dropping outside the top 10, the MC 450F rider found a number of smooth lines around the choppy intu Xanadu – Arroyomolinos circuit, fighting his way forwards and through to fifth at the finish.

        Diving to the inside of turn one in the second race proved to be a positive move for Coldenhoff as it then set him up to arrive at the treacherous third turn on the outside. Avoiding all of the chaos that repeated itself from moto one, he emerged unscathed and in fifth position. With little on the track to separate the leading MXGP riders, Glenn progressed one spot to claim fourth in the moto, going on to place fourth in the overall classification.

        Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing’s Ivo Monticelli enjoyed another positive round of MXGP competition with two point-scoring rides in Spain. The opening moto saw the Italian push through a small bout of arm-pump to earn a 13th, going on to place 12th in race two.

        Isak Gifting enjoyed another solid pair of results at the MXGP of Spain. Feeling comfortable on his DIGA Procross Factory Juniors MC 250F on the hardpack, jump-filled circuit, the Swedish racer battled hard in both motos to secure 11-8 results. Teammate Michael Sandner recorded a pair of 19th place finishes, adding further points to his MX2 World Championship tally.

        In the EMX125 class, David Braceras earned a spot on the podium with third overall on his MC 125. A pair of third-place finishes were strong results for David at his home GP as he improved his championship position to third with three rounds to go.

        Glenn Coldenhoff:  “I’m happy with today. I felt really good on my bike all day, which really helped. The level in MXGP is really high so starts are important and in race one I was able to start in third. In turn three though, everyone bunched up and I had to stop to avoid crashing. It was frustrating as I went back to ninth. I found some good lines and I moved up to fifth so, this was ok before race two. My jump in race two wasn’t great, but I stayed out wide, missing all the ruts and chaos and was fifth after a few corners. I passed Seewer when he made a mistake and finished fourth. Not bad. Good points and onto Lommel for three in a row so I know I’ll be better there.”

        Ivo Monticelli:  “I felt really good on this new track. Qualifying went well again, sixth place so I knew my pace was good. Having another GP with consistent results is really important and having a 13th and a 12th are much better results, much better than where I was just one month ago. This gives me confidence for the rest of the season and I’m positive now, I know I belong up front and the aim is to get into the top 10 each race and finish the season strong.”

        Isak Gifting:  “I really enjoyed today. The track was nice, big jumps and hardpack so it was a fun race track. I was happy with my speed and I was able to put together two strong races. The only bad thing was that I got caught up in turn three both races, so I lost places in race one and again in race two, which was disappointing. I battled hard and finished 10th overall so all in all, a solid day for me”

        Michael Sandner:  “A challenging GP for me but more experience so it’s all positive. I’m happy with my riding, in the first moto I had a bad start but was able to pass some people at the beginning and spend a little time in the top 10 so this was great. I then crashed and finished 19th which was a shame. Second race, two mistakes and I was struggling the whole race to find a good rhythm. Another 19th, more points and I look forward to Lommel next weekend.”

        The Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and DIGA Procross Factory Juniors will next be in action at round 13 of the FIM Motocross World Championship on October 18, the first of three MXGPs to be held at the Lommel circuit in Belgium.

        ALBERT CABESTANY WINS 2020 FIM TRIAL-E WORLD CUP WITH DOUBLE VICTORY AT GP OF ITALY

        Ver Perfil
        Bringing the four-round 2020 FIM TrialGP World Championship to a hugely positive close, GASGAS Factory Racing team riders Albert Cabestany and Jorge Casales both come away from the TrialGP of Italy having delivered their best results of the season. For Cabestany, the final round of the Trial-E World Cup was a time to shine as the experienced Spaniard went 1-1 to wrap-up his second electric title. For Casales, the series finale ended with superb 2-3 TrialGP results.
        • Albert Cabestany and GASGAS win the 2020 Trial-E World Cup title
        • Jorge Casales delivers his best result of 2020 with 2-3 finishes at TrialGP of Italy
        • GASGAS secure fourth consecutive Trial-E World Cup title
        Determined to end his 2020 TrialGP campaign on a high, Jorge Casales entered the final round of the series focused on podium results. Third both times out at round three, the GP of Andorra, Jorge went one better on day one in Italy to earn his best result of the season. Liking the man-made sections and feeling confident, despite dropping five maximum scores on lap one he kept his focus to complete the day on a total of 61 marks lost, good enough for a well-deserved runner-up result behind newly crowned world champion Toni Bou.

        Although making a handful of errors during the morning of day two, Casales again rode well, pushing hard during the second and third laps. Not quite able to repeat his day one result, nevertheless he finished a strong third, just six marks behind the day’s runner-up. In concluding his 2020 TrialGP campaign with 2-3 results, Casales secured fourth in the final championship standings.

        The fourth and final stop of the 2020 TrialGP World Championship was also the second and final round of the Trial-E World Cup. Coming into the event some six points down on then series leader Gael Chatagno, GASGAS Factory Racing’s Albert Cabestany knew that he needed to win both days of competition at the TrialGP of Italy. Well-used to delivering his best while under pressure, the vastly experienced Spaniard made light work of the Italian sections on his GASGAS TXE, completing day one with just seven marks lost and taking the win.

        With the Trial-E title well within his grasp, Cabestany kept the pressure on during day two and in dropping just five marks secured the day win. With it, he lifted the FIM Trial-E World Cup for a second consecutive season, handing GASGAS their fourth Trial-E World Cup title.

        Jorge Casales:   “To finish what has been a tough season with these very positive results feels so good. Everyone at GASGAS was really looking forward to this season, and despite not getting the results we wanted at the first two events we kept working and improving and finishing with 2-3 results is a great reward for everyone. We re-grouped for this final trial and things have gone very well. I felt my riding was good and my bike was incredible. Being competitive at the final round of the series gives us all a lot of motivation to be even more prepared for 2021. Generally, both days here have been good, only a few mistakes on the first lap today, day two, but after those I rode consistently and got another podium result. A very positive end to the championship.”

        Albert Cabestany:   “It feels great to win another Trial-E title, and also to finish the championship is a very positive way. This is a great result for both myself and GASGAS. We had some very strong competition this year, they really showed us at the first round that they had worked a lot during the off-season and that they had very good machinery and riders. We knew that we needed to do our very best here this weekend, that we needed to win both days. We started working hard after the opening round of the championship, and the team really did work very hard to make improvements. The sections this weekend were not too difficult, so I knew that being focused and riding consistently, without silly mistakes, would be so, so important. To keep this title, it means a lot to me and GASGAS.”

        GASGAS FACTORY RACING ENJOY PODIUM RESULT AT MXGP ROUND 11

        Ver Perfil
        Glenn Coldenhoff has claimed third overall at the MXGP of Europe to secure a positive end to the trio of races at Mantova, Italy. Round 11 of the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship saw Coldenhoff come agonizingly close to winning the opening MXGP class moto before he placed fifth in race two. The Dutchman was rewarded with a trip to the third step of the overall podium. MXGP teammate Ivo Monticelli delivered a season-best finish of 11th overall following strong 8-11 results, while in MX2, the DIGA Procross Factory Juniors continued to enjoy their own success. Isak Gifting placed seventh in the opening moto with Michael Sandner claiming two 15th place finishes for 15th overall.
        • Standing Construct’s Glenn Coldenhoff claims third overall podium result of the season
        • Three GASGAS Factory Racing riders claim top-10 moto finishes
        • DIGA Procross riders continue to impress as they find their feet in MX2
        In qualifying fastest Coldenhoff claimed GASGAS Motorcycles’ maiden MXGP pole position and laid the foundations for what would prove to be a hugely positive day for the Dutchman. Making a strong start in race one, he completed a few cautious laps as the race unfolded before forming part of a frantic battle for the top five. Settling into sixth place mid moto, Glenn then put together a series of calculated passes, using creative lines as he pressed forwards to eventually move into second on the penultimate lap. In a dramatic end to the race, he closed in on eventual race winner Tim Gajser to cross the finish line right behind the MXGP World Championship leader.

        Following an impressive opening race, Coldenhoff dug deep in moto two and with very few passing opportunities due to one fast line around the Mantova circuit secured a fifth-place finish for third overall.

        Ivo Monticelli enjoyed another strong day at the Mantova venue, finally turning a corner in a season blighted by ailments and injury to sign off another trio of MXGP rounds on a positive note. A season-best result of eighth in race one finally proved the Italian’s capabilities, latching onto his Standing Construct teammate during the early stages of the race and eventually earning a well-deserved top-10 result.

        A crash on lap one of race two did little to derail the Italian’s hopes of a solid overall result. After remounting quickly, Ivo went on a charge and ended the moto in a strong 11th place. The MC 450F rider was unfortunate to miss out on a top-10 overall result, eventually finishing 11th and carrying some much-needed confidence into next weekend’s MXGP of Spain.

        It was another positive round of MX2 World Championship action for the DIGA Procross Factory Juniors team at the MXGP of Europe. Race one very nearly saw Michael Sandner roar to the holeshot before he enjoyed time inside the top 10. Crashing while defending his position, Michael was quick to remount and brought his MC 250F home in 15th place, which he then replicated in race two for 15th overall.

        Isak Gifting recorded his strongest result since he joined the DIGA Procross team with an impressive seventh in race one. Never flustered by his more experienced rivals, Gifting rode a strong race and set himself up for a positive overall result. Frustratingly, it wasn’t to be as a number of falls in the second moto resulted in the 19-year-old finishing just outside of the points.

        In the EMX125 class, David Braceras claimed a strong sixth overall on his MC 125. The Spanish racer’s 8-6 result maintains his fourth-place ranking in the championship with five of nine rounds now complete.

        Glenn Coldenhoff:   “It’s always good to be on the podium. Obviously, I would like the top step and with some better starts I think I can be there. I was really happy with my first race. I had some nice lines and it all came together towards the end and I was really close at the finish. Overall, this is a good result, but we always want more. With the team we’ll work on starts this week and be ready for Spain.”

        Ivo Monticelli:   “Today was positive for me. I set a fast lap in qualifying, and sat first for quite some time so that was a good start to the day. I felt great on my bike and in the races and I was finally able to get a decent result in the first race. I was ready for the same in race two but a crash on the opening lap was frustrating. I managed to reach eleventh, which was good, but overall I have my confidence back. I know I can be top 10 so I hope for more of the same in Spain next weekend.”

        Isak Gifting:   “My first race was good, my best result on the GASGAS so I’m really happy. I was able to run the pace of the top guys so a seventh in race one was really good. Race two was not great. I crashed with another rider and bent my bars and then crashed again. Not great, but I know I can finish in the top 10 so I look forward to racing again next week. I’ve had a great week in Italy with the team, they have been great so everything besides the second moto today is positive.”

        Michael Sandner:   “Two solid races today. I felt great all day on my bike and in the first moto I had an awesome start. I was in second place for a few laps and then I had a small crash and lost a lot of time. I was able to finish 15th so this was a good race for me. Second race, not such a good start but I made some good passes on the first lap and finished in 15th again. I was really happy with my riding today and I have to thank the team for all that they have done for me!”

        Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and DIGA Procross Factory Juniors head to Spain for the next round of the FIM Motocross World Championship, round 12 of the series that takes place on October 11.

        COLDENHOFF SEVENTH AT MXGP OF CITTA DI MANTOVA

        Ver Perfil
        GASGAS Factory Racing have recorded strong and consistent results across both classes at the MXGP of Citta di Mantova, round 10 of the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship. Last weekend’s MXGP class runner-up Glenn Coldenhoff battled at the sharp end of the MXGP class in both races, claiming seventh overall following a 7-5 result. Teammate Ivo Monticelli enjoyed his own success in Mantova, claiming 13th overall after sickness and injuries had hampered his results in recent weeks. In the MX2 class, DIGA Procross Factory Juniors’ Isak Gifting pulled the opening-race holeshot and claimed an impressive eighth overall in just his second ever MX2 GP.
        • GASGAS Factory Racing claim solid points at second Mantova GP
        • Positive day for Standing Construct’s Monticelli on home soil
        • DIGA Procross’ MC 250F claims first ever MX2 class holeshot
        Round 10 of the FIM Motocross World Championship was a positive one for Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing with Glenn Coldenhoff fairing best, recording a 7-5 result to finish seventh overall. Both motos saw the Dutchman involved in frantic, race-long battles inside the top 10, where the combination of a narrow Mantova circuit and the fact that his rivals were all running a very similar lap times resulted in him finishing seventh in race one and a determined fifth in race two.

        The previously luckless Ivo Monticelli showed signs of bouncing back into form, posting a strong 14th in race one before improving one position to a well-earned 13th in race two. Ivo’s second moto performance came after he dusted himself off following an opening lap crash. Ending the day 13th overall gives the Italian a much-needed boost in confidence ahead of round 11.

        In the MX2 class, Isak Gifting impressed again at Mantova. Claiming the DIGA Procross Factory Juniors first ever GP holeshot in race one, the young Swede made the best possible start to the event. Going on to lead for almost a lap on his MC 250F, he then frustratingly tipped over, nearly dropping outside of the top 20. Digging deep in just his second MXGP, he delivered a valiant effort to claim a 10th place finish.

        Moto two saw race long progression from Isak. Charging through from a mid-pack start to claim an impressive eighth in the moto, he was rewarded with eighth overall. Teammate Michael Sandner scored further MX2 World Championship points with a 17th place finish in race one before finishing just outside of the point-scoring positions in moto two.

        Glenn Coldenhoff:   “I felt pretty good in training this morning. I managed to set the fourth fastest time in qualifying, so I was happy with that. First race my start was not that good, starting just outside the top 10. I took a while to get into a good rhythm and it’s not easy to pass on this track, so it took a long time to work my way forwards. Once I got in seventh position, the leaders were gone so I just rode my own race and I was happy with my speed. My second race start was a bit better, I think seventh. Straight from the beginning it was a big battle and we were all really close. We all had pretty much the same speed, but like the first race, it’s so hard to make passes. I felt like my riding was pretty good today and my starts needs to be better for me to get better results. We know what to work on and I really want more the coming weekend.”

        Ivo Monticelli:   “Finally, a good day’s racing for me! Race one was good, I was in 13th but a small crash meant I finished 14th but I was happy with that. At the start of race two there was a big crash and I was stuck under my bike. I got up and just charged and finished 13th which was an amazing result after being on the ground for so long. My lap times were good, top 10 speed so this gives me a lot of confidence ahead of Sunday. Despite the crashes I really enjoyed today, I felt great on the bike, my speed and fitness is good, so I look forward to Sunday and the rest of the season.”

        Isak Gifting:   “Today was a good day. I pulled the holeshot in race one so that was great and then I nearly led a lap before crashing. I think I was just a little nervous up front but to be up front is a great feeling. I then had to work my way up from around 17th and finished 10th so I was quite happy with that. I didn’t get such a great start in race two but worked my way up to an eighth-place finish so overall it was a great day. I fought hard in both motos and scored good points, so I look forward to Sunday.”

        Michael Sandner:   “It was a bit of a disappointing day for me. I struggled a little bit out there, but it is still only my second race for the DIGA Procross team. I’ll take some rest ahead of the next race on Sunday and look to improve my results.”

        Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and DIGA Procross Factory Juniors will next compete in the FIM Motocross World Championship at round 10 of the series on October 4, returning to the Mantova venue for the third and final time.

        RUNNER-UP RESULT FOR GASGAS FACTORY RACING AT MXGP OF LOMBARDIA

        Ver Perfil
        STANDING CONSTRUCT’S GLENN COLDENHOFF CLAIMS SECOND PODIUM APPEARANCE OF THE SEASON AT MXGP ROUND NINE Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing’s Glenn Coldenhoff has returned to the MXGP podium with an impressive second overall result at the MXGP of Lombardia, round nine of the FIM Motocross World Championship. A positive day all round saw Coldenhoff race to a fourth-place finish in race one, which he then bettered in moto two with an impressive runner-up finish to secure second overall. Bad luck continued to follow his MXGP teammate Ivo Monticelli as he hit the ground hard in moto one before rebounding for a steady 16th in race two. In MX2, DIGA Procross Factory Juniors fill-in riders Isak Gifting and Michael Sandner made positive starts to their time on MC 250F machinery by placing 10th and 20th overall respectively.
        • GASGAS Factory Racing claim second overall at MXGP round nine
        • Standing Construct’s Coldenhoff makes a positive start to trio of Mantova races
        • DIGA Procross fill-in riders impress in GP debuts aboard MC 250F machinery
        It was a positive MXGP of Lombardia for Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing’s Glenn Coldenhoff, claiming second overall following an amendment to the race two results. Feeling confident on his MC 450F from the first lap of qualifying, a solid fourth place finish in moto one set Glenn up for a strong overall finish.

        And strong it was. Safely negotiating the tight first turn and chaotic opening laps, Glenn pushed forwards for the full moto and crossed the finish line in a consistent fifth place. However, following a revision to the race results long after the moto had concluded, the Dutchman was excited to be promoted to second in both the race and the overall classification but sadly missed out on spraying champagne on the podium. With a further two races at Mantova taking place this week, and with the sandy terrain being his preferred riding surface, Coldenhoff now looks forward to round 10.

        Ivo Monticelli’s terrible luck continued in Mantova. A great jump when the start gate dropped for moto one was positive, but tangling with another rider in the first corner definitely wasn’t. A violent crash saw the Italian hit the ground hard and fearing injury he opted to not continue. After paying the onsite medical team a visit for a check-up, Ivo was battered and bruised with fortunately nothing broken so he bravely lined up for race two. A 16th place finish gave him a further five points and he looks for more when the series returns to Mantova on Wednesday.

        Stepping in at Mantova for the injured DIGA Procross Factory Juniors team riders Simon Langenfelder and Jeremy Sydow, were Isak Gifting and Michael Sandner. Claiming 9-10 results gave Gifting an impressive 10th overall after stepping up from the EMX250 division. Michael Sandner placed a strong 15th in the opening moto and 20th overall.

        Glenn Coldenhoff:  “Second overall is a good result, for sure. I’d have liked to have been at the front of the battle rather than at the back of it, but it is what it is. I had a good feeling today which is important. It’s quite hard to pass on this circuit and everyone is similar in speed but luckily I had decent starts and was able to move forwards, especially in race two. The first moto was ok but once I was into fourth, I fell into a rhythm behind Cairoli and was unable to make a pass. Overall, good points, second overall after a couple of guys jumped on a yellow flag and up to fifth in the championship. I’m looking forward to Wednesday.”

        Ivo Monticelli:  “Another tough one. I had a great start in race one but tangled with someone going into the first corner. I hit my head, chest and back and was in a lot of pain so it was not possible to continue, I saw the medical team and I checked out ok, just bruising, so I lined up for race two. Again, I hit someone in the first turn but stayed upright but I was way down field. I was able to push through and passed a couple of guys in the last two laps for 16th. Some points on the board but not where I should be. We’ll regroup and line up again Wednesday and hope to improve.”

        Isak Gifting:   “It was a very good day for me at my first ever GP and race on my GASGAS. I was a little bit nervous but after qualifying I felt much more relaxed. To get 9-10 in the motos and 10th overall felt great and I’m so thankful for the team for giving me the tools to make this work! Starts were not so good but this is something we will work on ahead of the next race on Wednesday.”

        Michael Sandner:   “My day was mixed really. I woke up in the morning and felt a little bit sick, but I made the best of it and gave my all! With a 16th place in time practice I had a good starting position for the races so it was a positive start to the day. The first moto started with a perfect start, around seventh. I had very good speed for the first few laps but then struggled a little bit, I think I went too fast too soon and finished 15th which was pretty good for my first race on the GASGAS. Second moto start was not so great, around 16th on the first lap. I then I had a pretty big crash so that was my race over but I’m healthy and looking forward to Wednesday.”

        Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and DIGA Procross Factory Juniors will next be in FIM Motocross World Championship action on September 30, for round 10 of the series and the second of three visits to the Mantova circuit.

        GASGAS FACTORY RACING SECURE TWO THIRD-PLACE RESULTS AT FIM TRIALGP ROUND THREE

        Ver Perfil
        Putting a frustrating second round of the FIM TrialGP World Championship behind him, GASGAS Factory Racing’s Jorge Casales has delivered his best result of the series to date with an impressive pair of third-place results at a demanding TrialGP of Andorra, the third and penultimate round of the 2020 championship.
        • Two third-place results for Jorge Casales at TrialGP of Andorra
        • Rain on day one ensured challenging conditions for all competitors
        • Casales moves up to fourth in TrialGP series standings with one round remaining
        The first of the three laps on day one in Andorra was extremely challenging for all riders due to rain making the sections incredibly slippery. With no rider managing to complete any lap without mistakes, for Casales lap one was a mixture of performances. Scoring six maximum scores of five marks lost, he ended lap one with a total score of 33 yet focused on improving. Delivering notably better second and third laps, Casales ended the day in third to claim his first podium of the 2020 series.

        With drier conditions for day two, Casales again rode well and again finished third overall. Performing consistently on each of the three laps the Spaniard came out on top of a day-long battle with Takahisa Fujinami to join Toni Bou and Adam Raga on the podium and move up to fourth in the 2020 TrialGP championship standings.

        Competing in Andorra following strong 5-5 results at the recent TrialGP of Spain, GASGAS supported Miquel Gelabert again performed well, placing 10th on day one before bouncing back to match his best result of the season so far with a fifth-place finish on day two. Gelabert sits seventh in the TrialGP standings with one event remaining.

        With the TrialGP of Andorra marking the third consecutive round of 2020 Trial World Championship competition, Jorge Casales and his GASGAS Factory Racing team now enjoy a two-week break before the fourth and final round of the series takes place in Italy on October 10-11.

        Jorge Casales:  “This has been a very important result for me. Finally, I rode like I know I can in world championship competition. In the Spanish championship, which has a similar level, I have been finishing on the podium, but I wasn’t able to find my rhythm in the world championship. I can say I needed to bounce back, which I did. The first day was hard and the scores were really high, but we kept doing our best despite the wet conditions. The first lap was really hard, it was really important to keep fighting to the end of the day. To be able to finish on the podium again feels great. I really focused on the first lap and felt like I rode well. Holding second during lap two was really good, but I was maybe a little bit too confident in the drier conditions on lap three and made some mistakes. I’m pleased that I stayed ahead of Fujinami, because he was pushing me really hard. So, it’s been a good weekend. Now I need to rest a little and start to prepare for the final round of the series in two weeks.”

        CHALLENGING TRIALGP OF SPAIN FOR JORGE CASALES

        Ver Perfil
        GASGAS FACTORY RACING TEAMSTER ENDURES FRUSTRATING HOME GP AS TRIAL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP REACHES HALFWAY POINT The second round of the 2020 FIM Trial World Championship, the TrialGP of Spain held in Pobladura de las Regueras in the north west of the country, proved to be a frustrating one for GASGAS Factory Racing’s Jorge Casales who saw a number of issues prevent him from challenging for a podium result. Hoping to build on his performances from the opening round of the series in France, Jorge ended day one in Spain in 10th position before placing eighth on day two.
        • Jorge Casales endures tough TrialGP of Spain
        • Spanish event marks mid-way point of 2020 TrialGP series
        • GASGAS supported Miquel Gelabert earns 5-5 TrialGP results
        Serving up some truly spectacular sections, big steps and super slippery terrain, the TrialGP of Spain saw notably higher scores from all TrialGP class riders compared to the first round of the championship in France. Wanting to make a strong start to the opening day, Casales completed the first lap with the sixth best score and 34 marks lost. Improving to 31 marks lost on lap two, an issue with his bike during lap three resulted in the Spaniard collecting maximum scores of five in each of the 10 sections, ending the day in 10th overall.

        Despite some impressive riding during the early part of day two, a significant crash held Casales back on the second day of competition. Collecting 27 marks at the end of his first lap to ensure he was well in contention for a strong end-of-day result, on lap two he dropped just 17 marks, only two more than eventual day winner Toni Bou. Frustratingly, it wasn’t to be for Casales who was unable to ride at his best throughout lap three following his lap-two crash. Bravely riding on, he completed the lap for 31 marks lost, ending his day in eighth yet having performed much better than his final result suggests.

        Enjoying a positive TrialGP of Spain, GASGAS supported Miquel Gelabert delivered two strong and consistent performances, placing fifth on each day of competition to ensure a positive improvement over his 8-7 results from the series opener in France. Gelabert sits fourth in the TrialGP standings with two events remaining.

        Jorge Casales and his GASGAS Factory Racing team now head to Andorra for a third consecutive weekend of FIM TrialGP World Championship competition, round three of the 2020 series being held in Sant Julia, Andorra on September 19-20.

        Jorge Casales:   “It’s clear that this wasn’t my best weekend, and certainly not the results we were hoping for. Things started ok on day one – I felt good and things were going ok, but around midday I had some issues with my bike. I tried to fix it, but we couldn’t make the changes we needed to, so the day didn’t end well. Everyone in the team put that behind us for day two and I honestly felt great during the first and second laps. Frustratingly, I had a big crash in section five, which was one of the toughest sections of the event. I hurt my leg when I crashed, which made the next one-and-a-half laps really tough. I had some other misfortune towards the end of the day as well, which added another five marks to my score, so all-in-all not the event I had hoped for. I’ll be working hard to come back strong next weekend in Andorra.”

        SEVENTH OVERALL FOR COLDENHOFF AT 2020 MOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND EIGHT

        STANDING CONSTRUCT GASGAS FACTORY RACING’S SPEEDY DUTCHMAN CLAIMS 8-5 RESULTS AT MXGP OF EMILIA ROMAGNA TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE FIRST OF THREE 2020 ITALIAN MXGP TRIPLE-HEADERS Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing has battled through a challenging MXGP of Emilia Romagna, round eight of the FIM Motocross World Championship. Glenn Coldenhoff recorded a strong seventh place overall result to continue to collect solid championship points following 8-5 moto finishes. Ivo Monticelli bravely took to the start after missing Wednesday’s GP through illness, racing to 15th in moto one despite a twisted ankle he sustained in qualifying.
        • GASGAS Factory Racing complete challenging MXGP round eight
        • Standing Construct’s Glenn Coldenhoff holds seventh in championship standings
        • Monticelli bravely races after twisting ankle during qualifying
        It was a day of improving results for Glenn Coldenhoff at the MXGP of Emilia Romagna. With his MC 450F powering him to a great jump from the gate in race one, frustratingly the good work was quickly undone as he tangled with the rider next to him and was forced to close the gas. Battling his way back through the field around the Faenza circuit was no easy task yet the Dutchman pushed throughout the moto to claim an eighth-place finish.

        A stronger and much-needed clean getaway from the start saw Coldenhoff round the first corner well inside the top 10 in race two. At the halfway stage of the moto he was up to fifth, but with the leading riders out of reach. Opting to maintain his pace, and with a sizable gap over the sixth placed rider, Glenn rode a smart moto to secure fifth for seventh overall.

        Ivo Monticelli returned to action in Faenza despite not quite being fully recovered from the stomach issue that had ruled him out of Wednesday’s GP. Twisting his ankle in qualifying certainly wasn’t the start he was looking for, but the plucky Italian got the injury strapped up and took to the start of the opening moto of the day. Rewarded with a 15th place finish, Ivo put in a solid race to earn championship points. A small crash in race two contributed to Ivo just missing out on a points-paying finish in 21st.

        In the EMX125 class, Guillem Farres claimed a third consecutive overall podium result with two second place moto finishes, securing second overall. David Braceras returned to the podium with third overall following a third in race two. Gerard Congost ended the day 15th.

        Glenn Coldenhoff:  “The day started good and there were a few track changes to make things different. I was fifth for a long time in qualifying and ended up sixth, but this was ok. I didn’t quite get the best start in race one and then used a lot of energy working my way through the riders towards the front. I had a much better start in race two. Came around the first turn in eighth and then came through to fifth at the finish. I wasted too much time trying to pass Prado, but it was difficult to push as the track was slick and you had to be careful. Overall, I’m not happy with the results, but not devastated either. I’ll continue to work hard and I’m looking forward to Mantova in two weeks.”

        Ivo Monticelli:   “It’s been a tough week in Italy, and I feel exhausted because of my stomach issue. I felt better for today but then in qualifying I twisted my ankle. I had to get it taped up for the races, so it was difficult to push at my limit. My first race was actually ok despite this. I finished 15th after a long battle with Vlaanderen so I was happy with the result considering everything. Early in race two I caught my ankle in a rut, and it was so painful. I then had a small crash and just missed out on scoring points, so this is tough for me. I now have two weeks to recover fully and I’ll be doing everything I can to be 100% for Mantova.”

        Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing will next be in action at round nine of the FIM Motocross World Championship on September 27, the first of three MXGPs to be held at Mantova circuit in Italy.

        TOUGH MXGP OF CITTA DI FAENZA FOR GASGAS FACTORY RACING

        Ver Perfil
        GLENN COLDENHOFF BATTLES TO SIXTH OVERALL IN MXGP AS ILLNESS AND INJURY SIDELINE MONTICELLI AND LANGENFELDER The MXGP of Citta di Faenza proved to be a mixed day for GASGAS Factory Racing with Glenn Coldenhoff once again claiming the best results, delivering strong 6-5 performances that put the Standing Construct rider sixth overall. Teammate Ivo Monticelli was forced to withdraw due to an ongoing stomach issue picked up last week, while DIGA Procross Factory Juniors Simon Langenfelder charged to his best ever qualifying performance in ninth before being landed on and suffering from an injured lower leg in the opening MX2 moto.
        • Solid sixth overall for Glenn at tough Italian track
        • Ivo sadly unable to race due to ongoing stomach issue
        • Simon breaks leg in nasty opening-moto crash
        Glenn Coldenhoff put together a solid opening moto at the MXGP of Citta di Faenza, round seven of the FIM Motocross Championship. As chaos ensued in the first turn and subsequent opening lap, the Dutchman was initially shuffled backwards outside of the top 10. As the race unfolded, he charged his way forwards and came up just short of a top-five placing, crossing the line in sixth to set himself up for a strong second moto.

        Race two saw Coldenhoff line up closer to the inside on the start gate, in readiness to avoid any possible early-race carnage. The Standing Construct rider’s plan worked as he emerged well inside the top 10 before quickly disposing of Clement Desalle and Romain Febvre in the same turn. Into fifth and with his sights set on fourth, with one fast line forming around the track, Glenn was unable to improve further and brought his MC 450F home in a strong fifth place.

        Despite doing everything in his power to overcome a stomach illness, Ivo Monticelli was forced to withdraw from round seven.

        Simon Langenfelder continues to experience the highs and lows of the MX2 World Championship. The young German earned a career-best qualifying time in ninth, placing ahead of many experienced racers and GP winners. With his MC 250F powering Langenfelder to another top-five start in race one, his day quickly came to a premature end when he was landed on by a rival just two corners into the moto, injuring his lower leg.

        In the EMX125 class, Guillem Farres climbed onto the podium for the second round in a row, claiming the third step following a pair of strong rides. David Braceras continued his own consistent run of form with fifth overall while Gerard Congost ended the day 13th.

        Glenn Coldenhoff:  “I’m happy with my riding despite the end result not necessarily showing it. Today was an improvement on Sunday so I’m happy with this. Last weekend I wasn’t quite on the pace but today I was, in qualifying and in the races. Race one was crazy during the opening laps so for the second race I moved closed to the inside to avoid this. There was still a lot of bar banging and I managed to break away in fifth place. The gap to fourth wasn’t so big but we are all running a similar pace at the front, so it was hard to catch and make a pass. I’m looking forward to Sunday where I’m sure I can challenge for better results.”

        The Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing team will next be in FIM Motocross World Championship action on September 16 for the third round of a trio to be held at the Faenza venue.

        With the first of three laps on the opening day of competition in France being cancelled, Jorge Casales produced an impressive second lap, dropping just 10 marks and keeping himself in contention for a possible podium finish. Frustratingly, two fives on the final lap prevented the Spaniard from challenging for the top three, eventually placing fifth but just five marks behind fourth placed Adam Raga.

        With three laps of the dry, rocky French sections on day two, a tougher course saw all riders lose considerably more marks than on day one. Notching up three fives during the opening lap, Casales had his work cut out as he headed into lap two and improved his score with just 14 marks lost. Again dropping 14 marks on lap three, Casales placed fifth overall but just eight marks behind eventual runner-up Jaime Busto.

        Looking to make a winning start to the defense of his Trial-E title, Albert Cabestany rode to a second-place finish on day one in France. Dropping six marks on lap two, including a costly five in section eight, the experienced Spaniard then completed the third and final lap dropping only one further mark. Although frustrated at having not challenged Gael Chatagno for the win, Cabestany made a strong start to his TrialE championship.

        The second day of competition in France was altogether more positive for Cabestany, who came agonizingly close to claiming the win. With Chatagno again riding well, Cabestany steered his GASGAS through the opening lap with just one mark lost. Dropping two marks on the second lap and just one on the third and final lap, in ending the day on four marks dropped Cabestany equaled the score of his French rival. However, with Chatagno having more zero scores throughout the day he secured the win with Cabestany again finishing as runner-up.

        The 2020 FIM Trial World Championship moves on at pace with round two set for Pobladura de las Regueras, Spain, next weekend, September 12-13.

        Jorge Casales:  “It’s great to be back in competition but it’s been very strange with so many months and so few events. Obviously, everyone in the team was full of motivation for this race and during the training everything felt great. On day one I was able to get a feeling for the championship again, also to, you know, find my feet. I felt like I rode well on both days, but I made some mistakes that dropped me back a little and I had to work hard to get back in contention. That put the pressure on me a little. I know that I can do better and if I remove some of the bad scores from this weekend things would have been different. Some mistakes were in the easier sections, so I will work on that and look forward to competing again next weekend in Spain. I know I can improve, I know how good my bike is, so we’ll work to be on the podium next weekend.”

        Albert Cabestany:  “It’s been an enjoyable but tough weekend. We knew coming into this event that our competition had been working hard, but we were also confident that the work we’ve been doing would help us achieve the results we wanted. The sections didn’t favor our bike so much, but we kept pushing to do the best and I gave all I could. Obviously, I finished on the same marks as Gael on both days, but today he got one more clean than me. It’s a little disappointing, to be so close but not get the victory that we wanted, but that’s how it can go. Knowing how hard everyone in the team has worked, to not win is frustrating. But importantly, we know what areas we need to work on and with some weeks before the final round in Italy we’ll work on improving and then give the final round our all and try and defend our trial-E title.”

        DEMANDING DAY FOR GASGAS FACTORY RACING AT MXGP OF ITALY

        Ver Perfil
        STANDING CONSTRUCT’S GLENN COLDENHOFF CLAIMS SEVENTH OVERALL IN MXGP WHILE DIGA PROCROSS’ SIMON LANGENFELDER RACES TO 13TH IN MX2 It was a challenging day for GASGAS Factory Racing at the MXGP of Italy where Glenn Coldenhoff faired best to record consistent results and claim seventh overall. Despite feeling unwell, Glenn’s MXGP teammate Ivo Monticelli put in a valiant effort at the first of his home GPs to earn more valuable world championship points. In MX2, DIGA Procross’ Simon Langenfelder continued his impressive run of good starts and consistent results to earn 13th overall while teammate Jeremy Sydow’s return to action was short lived as he injured his foot during the opening lap of moto one and was forced to withdraw from the event.
        • GASGAS Factory Racing machinery faultless on Italian hardpack
        • Standing Construct's MC 450F claims more MXGP class holeshots
        • World championship points for Coldenhoff, Monticelli and Langenfelder
        Glenn Coldenhoff arrived at the MXGP of Italy almost fully-recovered from the painful rib injury he sustained just over three weeks ago. In race one, the Dutchman didn’t get the best jump when the gate dropped but still emerged from the first turn well inside the top 10. Involved in an intense battle for the leading positions during the first half of the race, the Standing Construct rider progressed to seventh place by lap seven, holding his position to the checkered flag.

        Race two was somewhat of a damage limitation ride for Coldenhoff. Getting closed down as he approached the tight opening corner, a race-long battle ensued with the 29-year-old charging for the entire moto. Claiming an eighth-place finish for seventh overall, Coldenhoff now lies sixth in the MXGP World Championship.

        The MXGP of Italy wasn’t what it was expected to be for Ivo Monticelli. Picking up a stomach issue in the days leading up to his home GP, a race one holeshot was the highlight of the day for the Italian. Completely drained of energy prior to both gate drops, Monticelli dug deep to earn two point-scoring rides and now looks to recover ahead of round seven on Wednesday.

        The lightning fast MC 250F of Simon Langenfelder rocketed the DIGA Procross Factory Juniors rider to a strong start in the opening MX2 moto. Running at the head of the field during the early laps, he slipped off in a slick corner. Able to remount quickly, the 16-year-old raced confidently in and around the top 10 for the whole moto, going on to finish 12th in the opening race of the day.

        After another good jump at the start of moto two, Langenfelder hit a heavily watered part of the start straight, slowing his charge towards the first corner. Riding a controlled and comfortable pace, the German clicked off consistent laps in 15th place for much of the moto and claimed 16th at the flag. The youngster ended the GP 13th overall.

        Jeremy Sydow returned to the MX2 World Championship in Faenza. After qualifying 16th, the young German crashed early in the opening race, injuring his ankle. Jeremy took no further part in the GP.

        In the EMX125 class, GASGAS riders claimed impressive results at the second round of the series. Guillem Farres secured a strong runner-up position overall, closely followed by David Braceras in third. Gerard Congost rounded out the top five with a pair of consistent rides.

        Glenn Coldenhoff:   “Not quite the day that I was looking for. I felt great in practice and qualifying, and I was seventh fastest so this was good. We are all quite similar in in pace so seventh is ok. My start wasn’t great in race one, just my reaction time was just a little slow, which was unfortunate. The start on this track is so important so it was a tough race all the way to the end. My start in race two wasn’t much better unfortunately but I came back to eighth. We’ll go away from here, watch the races to analyze what I’m doing and then practice starts ahead of Wednesday.”

        Ivo Monticelli:   “Today was a really big shame and not the home GP I was expecting! I’ve been training a lot before this race and a few days ago I developed a stomach issue, which really drained me of energy. I was able to holeshot and lead the opening lap of the first race – that was the highlight of the day for me. From there I just had to ride a steady pace to ensure a finish. Same with the second race really. I went 19-17, which scored me some points. I’m disappointed for the Standing Construct GASGAS team and myself and I’m hoping to feel better for Wednesday.”

        Simon Langenfelder:   “It was a pretty decent and consistent day for me. Qualifying went well and that gave me a good gate pick for the races and then very nearly pulled the holeshot in the first moto! Unfortunately I hit a slick part of a corner, which caused me to tip over but I was able to get up quickly. I was able to find my rhythm again and then raced in 12th until the end. I actually tipped over again after looking at my pitboard for too long towards the end of the race and I crashed again! I was able to finish 12th which was great considering I crashed twice. Second moto, I hit a soft spot on the start straight and that caused me to not have such a good start. I didn’t fall and finished 16th for 13th overall so it was a good result and I look forward to Wednesday.”

        Jeremy Sydow:  “I was excited to be back racing on my GASGAS! I qualified 16th and I was happy with that. I had a decent start in the first race, but then I came together with another rider, which injured my foot. I will see my doctor Monday morning to see exactly what the damage is. I’m really disappointed to miss more racing and I hope for a quick recovery.”

        Both Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors return to FIM Motocross World Championship action on September 9 for the second of three consecutive events to be held at the Faenza venue.

        GASGAS FACTORY RACING READY TO GET ON THE GAS AT THE START OF TRIALGP 2020

        JORGE CASALES LINES UP FOR TRIAL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OPENER IN FRANCE Finally, the wait is over! After months of anticipation, the 2020 FIM TrialGP World Championship is set to fire into life with GASGAS Factory Racing’s Jorge Casales ready to begin his quest for TrialGP success in Isola 2000, in the southern French Alps.
        • Jorge Casales confident ahead of 2020 FIM TrialGP championship
        • Four-round FIM Trial World Championship kicks off in France
        • Albert Cabestany to compete in FIM TrialE Cup at series final in Italy
        Performing well in 2020 Spanish Trial Championship events aboard his GASGAS TXT GP 300, Jorge is focused on regularly challenging for the top three in this year’s Trial World Championship, while also improving on the fifth-place result he secured in last year’s series. Enjoying one podium visit during last year’s outdoor championship to eventually finish just 15 points behind countryman Jaime Busto in 2019, despite the 2020 championship totalling just eight days of competition, Jorge knows he has what is needed to move up the ranks.

        While Casales will be the sole representative to take on the opening three rounds of the 2020 series for GASGAS Factory Racing, at the fourth and final event in Italy he will be joined by teammate Albert Cabestany. Set to defend the FIM TrialE Cup title he dominated last year, the experienced Spaniard will unquestionably start as favourite for the all-electric title.

        Shortened significantly due to the global Covid-19 restrictions, the 2020 FIM Trial World Championship will feature four, two-day events. Kicking off in France the series will move on to Spain just one week later and then to Andorra, the third event in as many weeks. Following a two-week break, the series will conclude in Italy in early October.

        Jorge Casales:   “Like all riders I have been waiting and waiting for the start of the Trial World Championship, and now it is just days away I can’t wait. Of course, this is not a normal championship, but the fact that we have these four races is something special – I am very grateful to all of the organisers, the FIM and my team for making things happen. With three events in three weeks I hope to make a positive start this weekend in France and then continue like that in Spain and Andorra. There is no time to make big mistakes, so I want to do all I can to ride well and of course aim for the podium. Doing the best I can each weekend is the focus and aiming for the podium and a top three in the championship is my objective. I feel good so let’s see what happens. Improving on my 2019 championship result is also very important. I’m really looking forward to competing again, I can’t wait!”

        COLDENHOFF BOUNCES BACK FROM INJURY TO CLAIM SIXTH OVERALL AT MXGP OF KEGUMS

        Ver Perfil
        STANDING CONSTRUCT GASGAS FACTORY RACING’S ROUND THREE WINNER PUSHES THROUGH THE PAIN AT THIRD AND FINAL GP IN LATVIA Overcoming severe discomfort following his crash and subsequent second moto DNF at round four of the 2020 MXGP World Championship held just four days ago, Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing’s Glenn Coldenhoff has raced to a strong sixth place overall finish at the MXGP of Kegums following two gutsy performances aboard his MC 450F. Teammate Ivo Monticelli recorded a consistent set of results, securing 11th in both motos after claiming the holeshot in race one. In the MX2 class, Simon Langenfelder continues to progress with the youngster earning 19th overall after two hot and humid motos at the Kegums circuit.
        • GASGAS Factory Racing complete third and final Latvian MXGP
        • MC 450F machinery earns second consecutive MXGP class holeshot
        • Solid points for Coldenhoff, Monticelli and Langenfelder
        Glenn Coldenhoff returned to form at the MXGP of Kegums, claiming better than expected results despite the pain of severely bruised ribs. The Dutchman rode a smart opening race, opting to take his time during the first half of the moto before making a mid-race charge towards the front of the field. A seventh-place finish was a promising opening moto result for the overall round three winner.

        Race two saw more of the same from Coldenhoff. Needing to carefully select the smoothest lines around the bumpy Kegums circuit to minimize his discomfort, it was a largely ‘quiet’ moto with a similar late-race progression resulting in Glenn claiming a sixth-place finish, earning a strong sixth-place overall result for his efforts.

        Ivo Monticelli blitzed to his second consecutive MXGP class holeshot in the opening moto of the day aboard his powerful MC 450F. Clearly confident, the Italian enjoyed racing in fourth position well into the second half of the race. While still not 100% recovered from his early season shoulder injury, Ivo claimed a hard-fought 11th place result.

        Race two saw Monticelli shuffled backwards in the opening-lap chaos before finding his rhythm at the halfway stages of the moto. Harnessing his usual aggressive riding style, the 25-year-old rode consistent laps and moved forwards in the latter stages of the race to earn a second 11th place finish.

        Simon Langenfelder clearly had the taste for success after his impressive showing at the previous round of the MX2 World Championship. With the potent MC 250F beneath him, the young German rounded the opening corner of the first moto in a strong fourth position. Gaining vital experience with every lap, he battled throughout the 30-minute-plus-two-lap race to ultimately cross the finish line in 13th position.

        The second moto wasn’t quite so fruitful for Simon. Very nearly claiming the holeshot on his DIGA Procross GASGAS, the 16-year-old gave the race everything he had but fell back through the pack and finished just outside a points-paying position. In claiming 19th overall, Langenfelder advances to 16th in the MX2 World Championship standings.

        Glenn Coldenhoff:   “Today was always going to be a challenge with my injury. Fortunately, nothing was broken in my crash on Wednesday, just a hematoma around my ribs which is really painful, especially on a track like this. I had to ride different lines than I would normally to avoid the biggest bumps. It’s not ideal to race like this and I was expecting to be top 15, so to go 7-6 and be sixth overall is something that I’m happy with. In race one I started slowly. I didn’t want to fall down so I was patient and then as the field spread out, I could push and make passes and finished in seventh place, so this was a good ride. Race two was sixth, a little better and it was really just two results that are good for the championship and much better than expected. I’ll now work on further recovery over the next few weeks.”

        Ivo Monticelli:   “Today was quite a good day with more points on the board and consistent races. I’m a little disappointed with race one but I have to be happy because of the long road from my injury. I’m still recovering and fighting to be 100% again, but it was a shame to run up front for so long in race one after pulling another holeshot. But I have the speed so before the next round I will focus on my training as my GASGAS is set up perfectly, I just need to catch up on my conditioning. I’ll now return to Belgium and continue to train and be ready for the next GP.”

        Simon Langenfelder:   “Today was good and bad really. In race one I had a great start and managed to run in sixth place for a long time. I really wanted to finish in this position so I pushed and pushed for as long as I could. Unfortunately, I pushed too hard and got a little tired, and slipped back to 13th place. I was disappointed but 13th is still a good result. I know that my GASGAS will always get me good starts so I can keep learning and improving my race craft now. It’s only my fifth GP and we’ve had three in one week here in Latvia and I’ve learned so much. I’m healthy and looking forward to the next GP.”

        Both Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and the DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors now look forward to round six of the FIM Motocross World Championship.

        MIXED DAY AT THE OFFICE FOR GASGAS FACTORY RACING AT MXGP OF RIGA

        Ver Perfil
        FRUSTRATION FOR ROUND THREE MXGP WINNER COLDENHOFF WHILE MONTICELLI AND LANGENFELDER ENJOY BIG POINTS HAUL FROM SECOND GP IN LATVIA Despite a heavy fall and subsequent second moto DNF for round three MXGP winner Glenn Coldenhoff, GASGAS Factory Racing saw Ivo Monticelli and Simon Langenfelder both claim superb top-10 overall results at the MXGP of Riga. Monticelli charged to the race two holeshot in the MXGP class and placed seventh overall, with Langenfelder delivering a standout 9-12 result to earn ninth in the MX2 class’ classification. Last weekend’s MXGP overall winner Glenn Coldenhoff placed seventh in the opening MXGP moto before a sizable crash early in race two forced the Dutchman out of proceedings.
        • GASGAS Factory Racing claim further top-10 MXGP results
        • MC 450F machinery rockets to another MXGP moto holeshot
        • Breakthrough rides for both Monticelli and Langenfelder in Latvia
        Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing's Ivo Monticelli re-ignited his MXGP World Championship campaign at the MXGP of Riga. A strong start resulted in an enjoyable opening moto for the Italian on his second visit to the Kegums circuit, round four of the MXGP World Championship. Emerging from the first corner in seventh place, the MC 450F rider quickly progressed to fifth position, showcasing his capability and speed. Ivo then settled into a comfortable rhythm at the halfway stage of the race and in securing an 11th place finish collected solid MXGP points.

        Using the power of the MC 450F machinery to his full advantage, Ivo Monticelli claimed the race two MXGP holeshot in Latvia. With a minor change to his bike’s suspension between races, the Italian was hungry for more championship points and another strong result. Going on to withstand pressure from current MXGP World Champion Tim Gajser for many laps, the Italian turned his season around with a confidence inspiring seventh place finish and claimed seventh overall.

        It was a frustrating MXGP of Riga for Glenn Coldenhoff. Arriving with his confidence high after claiming overall victory at last weekend’s MXGP, he was lucky to avoid a first turn pile up in the opening moto, which claimed a number of riders. A frantic, race-long battle for fifth place ensued with no fewer than six riders fighting for position. With Glenn right in the midst of the action, the Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing rider completed a smart race to claim seventh at the finish.

        Looking to rebound strongly in race two, an unfortunate crash ruled Coldenhoff out of the moto. Charging through the field on the opening laps, he collided with another rider. Able to re-join the race but in pain and unable to ride to his full potential, he opted to withdraw from the race after a handful of laps.

        Simon Langenfelder’s rapid MC 250F powered the young German to a great start in the opening MX2 moto at the MXGP of Riga. Rounding the first turn in fifth place, Langenfelder dropped back one position to sixth but remained cool and composed while racing with established MX2 stars for the entire moto. Losing a few spots in the closing laps, the 16-year-old gave his all for the full race, which ended with and a ninth-place finish for Simon.

        Race two saw Langenfelder really establish himself as a consistent MX2 point scorer. Finding his feet in only the fourth GP of his young career, a solid 12th place finish secured ninth overall on the day, propelling him up the MX2 World Championship standings to 17th.

        Glenn Coldenhoff:  “Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose! This is motocross and it’s not always easy. Of course, after last weekend’s result it’s been a disappointing end to today’s GP, but my first race was ok. Finishing seventh after a big battle for much of the race was good, but not where I wanted to be. The second race didn’t begin so well, which was my fault. But I felt good right from the first lap, fit and strong and ready to battle. I was passing riders quickly but maybe I got a little too impatient and crashed into someone. I went down pretty hard and winded myself. I managed to re-join the race but after a few laps I was in more and more pain, so I had to pull out as I knew something wasn’t right. I’ll get checked out and I’ll be doing everything I can to be ready for round five on Sunday.”

        Ivo Monticelli:   “Finally! A good day’s racing in MXGP for me this season. It’s been a struggle to start the season, getting injured and then not having much time on the bike before the season restarted. After qualifying, the team made some adjustments to my bikes suspension as the track was really rough, with square edge bumps everywhere. I had a good start in race one but couldn’t quite find my rhythm early in the race. At the halfway stage I did and then rode decent laps to finish 11th so this was pretty good. We made another adjustment to my bike’s suspension before race two and my team did a great job. I pulled the holeshot and felt confident, so I was able to push all through the race. Sure, I finished seventh, but this is a huge step in the right direction for me after a few bad GPs so I’m hoping I can continue like this. We have the perfect bike set up now, so I’m really looking forward to Sunday.”

        Simon Langenfelder:  “It was the first GP ever on a Wednesday, so this was something new and exciting. I had a decent qualifying time and I felt great on my GASGAS, so I was looking forward to the races. I had made a great start in the first race, fourth place so that made the race a lot easier for me. I slipped back to sixth place where I stayed for a lot of the race so that was good, running up front in MX2. I slipped back to ninth towards the end but I was really happy with my result. In race two I had another good start, but the front guys were going really fast and the track was gnarly, so I rode my own race and finished 12th. I had two solid races, good points and ninth overall is a great day for me and the team and we look forward to racing again on Sunday.”

        Both Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and the DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors look forward to returning to the Kegums circuit for round five of the FIM Motocross World Championship on August 16.

        GASGAS FACTORY RACING FLIES TO VICTORY AT MXGP OF LATVIA!

        Ver Perfil
        STANDING CONSTRUCT GASGAS FACTORY RACING’S GLENN COLDENHOFF DELIVERS HISTORY-MAKING PERFORMANCE ABOARD NEW MC 450F AT MXGP ROUND 3 GASGAS Factory Racing’s Glenn Coldenhoff has raced to overall victory at the MXGP of Latvia, securing a triumphant result at the grueling Kegums circuit to earn GASGAS Motorcycles their 1st ever FIM Motocross World Championship victory. A strong runner-up in the opening moto, Glenn then produced an impeccable ride in the 2nd MXGP race to claim overall victory. The 29-year-old’s near faultless performances move him up to 3rd place in the MXGP World Championship standings!
        • GASGAS Factory Racing make history with debut overall MXGP class win
        • Lightning fast starts underline performance of MC 450F machinery
        • Coldenhoff moves up to 3rd place in MXGP world championship standings
        Glenn Coldenhoff was quick to get on the gas when the gate dropped for the opening MXGP moto in Latvia, the long-awaited restart of the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship. Very nearly taking the holeshot, he raced in 2nd place during the early stages of the race before making a pass for the lead at the start of lap 3. The Dutchman then made an unfortunate mistake just before the halfway stage of the race and lost the lead, but was able to regroup and keep eventual race winner Tim Gajser in sight. Glenn crossed the finish line in a brilliant 2nd place, earning GASGAS’ their 1st MXGP podium result.

        Moto 2 saw Coldenhoff claim the holeshot, as his MC 450F rocketed him to the head of the MXGP field early on the opening lap. Withstanding the pressure from multiple opponents while also setting the fastest lap time of the race, the Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing rider led all 17 laps to claim a historic race win and overall GP victory for GASGAS in MXGP competition.

        Race 1 at the MXGP of Latvia was tough for Italian Ivo Monticelli. After rocketing down the start straight side by side with teammate Coldenhoff, a 2nd lap fall demoted him to 33rd place. In a courageous ride through the field, Monticelli reached the fringes of the point-scoring positions midway through the race before a big crash left his bike too damaged to continue. 

        Moto 2 saw Ivo meet a similar fate. A sizable crash in the 1st turn claimed many riders and Monticelli’s MC 450F was again damaged, leaving the luckless Italian to focus on round 4 this coming Wednesday.

        Simon Langenfelder also had a challenging MXGP of Latvia. After being pushed wide and off the track on lap 2 of the opening MX2 race, the young German regrouped and moved towards the point-scoring positions before crashing twice and opting to focus on the 2nd race. In just his 3rd MX2 GP, a great start saw the young German race in the top 10 for half of the moto, before slipping back to 21st at the finish.

        Glenn Coldenhoff:  “What can I say? It’s been a great day! After qualifying we made some adjustments to my bike’s suspension and it really paid off in the races. The Standing Construct team have worked hard during lockdown to keep improving our bikes on the starts and it clearly showed today. I started 2nd in race 1, nearly had the holeshot and then I took the lead on the 3rd lap. After a few laps there was a big rock in the rut I was in, which I hit, and it knocked me off balance just before the waves section. I re-joined the race quickly and made another charge towards the end, but it was too late. I finished in 2nd place, which was really good after a not so great qualifying. Race 2, another great start taking the holeshot! It was a tough race though, especially during the final laps, but I’m really happy to have won for myself and the team, especially as it’s only the 3rd MXGP for GASGAS. It’s just awesome. It’s nice to be back in MXGP, I really like the 1-day format and I can’t wait for Wednesday.”

        Ivo Monticelli:  “It was great to be racing MXGP again but not the weekend I hoped for. In the 1st race I was going well, before having quite a big crash on the jump at the far end of the circuit. I was ok but my bike was too damaged to re-join the race. In race 2, I was involved in the 1st corner crash with many riders. When I was able to pick my bike up it was clear that it wasn’t possible to continue because of damage from the crash. It’s really difficult for me to accept, leaving races like this. However, we’re racing again on Wednesday, so I need to stay focused and get some points on the board for myself and the Standing Construct GASGAS team.”

        Simon Langenfelder:  “It was a tough day for me. In qualifying I couldn’t find my rhythm and qualified 18th so I was in the middle of the gate for the races. In the 1st race I got pushed wide in a corner and off the track. I regrouped and started to move forwards in that race, but then I had a couple more crashes, so I decided to focus on the 2nd race as I was so far behind. I got a great start in race 2 and ran 9th for a lot of the moto, then 10th for a few laps. Towards the end of the race I had some problems and ended the race 21st. For sure it’s not what I wanted but this is only my 3rd GP and I’m learning all the time. I’m looking forward to racing again on Wednesday.”

        Both Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and the DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors will return to action at round 4 of the FIM Motocross World Championship on August 12.

        GASGAS FACTORY RACING SET TO RESTART THEIR 2020 MXGP SEASON AS FIM MOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FIRES BACK INTO LIFE Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors return to top-flight motocross competition this Sunday when team riders Glenn Coldenhoff, Ivo Monticelli and Simon Langenfelder all restart their FIM Motocross World Championship campaigns!

        Since the easing of global lockdown restrictions, our teams and riders have been working hard, putting in the hours ahead of the MXGP restart and the highly-anticipated Latvian triple-header. Racing in recent weeks on his new GASGAS Factory Racing MC 450F, Glenn took overall victory at the inaugural Dutch International ahead of a star-studded line up of MXGP rivals. Ivo and Simon also carved out some top-five results of their own in the Netherlands, demonstrating their speed and skills ahead of the MXGP restart.
        • 2020 MXGP World Championship returns to action this weekend
        • Glenn Coldenhoff, Ivo Monticelli & Simon Langenfelder excited to race in Latvia
        • New factory GASGAS MC 250F and MC 450F machinery to make MXGP debut
        Currently ranked sixth in the 2020 MXGP World Championship, Glenn Coldenhoff will be gunning for podium results when he takes to the start in Latvia. The season resumes with three consecutive GPs at the sandy Kegums circuit in Latvia - home of the Dutch sand specialists maiden overall MXGP win back in 2015. Coldenhoff will look to excel on his favorite riding surface and climb the MXGP championship leaderboard.

        Ivo Monticelli had a tough start to the 2020 MXGP World Championship. Racing injured after a fall at the opening round, during lockdown Monticelli opted for surgery to fix his damaged shoulder, from which the charismatic Italian is now fully recovered. Returning to his MC 450F a little over six weeks ago, Ivo quickly settled back into to his all-action riding style and is more than ready to restart the season in Latvia.

        Back in March, at only his second ever GP, DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Junior’s Simon Langenfelder earned a fifth-place moto finish at round two of the 2020 MX2 World Championship in the Netherlands. The 16-year-old has continued to show serious speed over recent weeks with strong results at domestic races setting him up for a decent showing in Latvia. Simon’s aim is to maintain this form and make his mark as a regular top-10 competitor as the season progresses.

        Glenn Coldenhoff:  “It feels great knowing I’ll be racing MXGP again! I really love racing so to have three GPs in one week is great. It’s something that we’ve not seen before and we all need to adapt for it, but it is perfect for me. Wednesday’s are usually tough training days and we’ll be racing instead, so it’s great really. It’s a new challenge and I’m excited for it. I’m confident after the Dutch International races and I’m really looking forward to racing again.”

        Ivo Monticelli:   “I can’t wait to line up at MXGP again. I feel really good on the MC 450F and I have been training in the sand a lot to get myself ready for Latvia. The recent Dutch races have gone ok, I have pulled some good starts so if I can apply these to the MXGP races then I’ll be happy. I’m in a good spot physically and mentally, so yeah, it’s going to be great back racing MXGP.”

        Simon Langenfelder:   “I really like the circuit in Latvia and I’ve had some really good results there in the past, in the EMX 125 class. Three GPs in one week, that will be cool and something new. There’s enough rest time between GPs so I’m looking forward to getting some good starts and good results there. I like the sand and I’m excited to race this weekend.”

        GLENN COLDENHOFF PLACES THIRD OVERALL AT DUTCH INTERNATIONAL

        Ver Perfil
        GASGAS FACTORY RACING ENJOY FURTHER SUCCESS IN THE NETHERLANDS GASGAS Factory Racing have continued their MXGP World Championship preparations with another rewarding day’s racing in the Netherlands. Lining up at the second Dutch International, held at the sandy circuit of Axel, the team delivered positive results with Standing Construct’s Glenn Coldenhoff claiming the third step of the overall MX1 podium. Teammate Ivo Monticelli enjoyed his own success, racing comfortably among some of the MXGP elite at the head of the field in race one, placing fifth and securing ninth place overall.
        • Third overall for Glenn Coldenhoff at second Dutch International
        • Top 10 overall results for both GASGAS Factory Racing MC 450F riders
        • Dutch Internationals prove to be the perfect test environment for MXGP preparation
        Arriving in Axel for the second and final Dutch International to be held prior to the restart of the MXGP World Championship, Glenn Coldenhoff looked to continue his recent success after taking victory last weekend in Arnhem. Racing in sixth place for much of the opening moto, the Dutchman took his time before disposing of Benoit Paturel with two laps to go. Coldenhoff then went on to make a last-lap pass on teammate Ivo Monticelli when the Italian became held up by a lapped rider. Coldenhoff claimed fourth as the checkered flag fell.

        Coldenhoff went on to claim a great start in race two, rounding the first corner in third place before shadowing early race leader Romain Febvre well into the second half of the race. The 29-year-old then unfortunately clashed with a lapped rider while setting up a pass for the lead and fell. Remounting quickly, Glenn crossed the finish line in fourth place, enough to secure the final step of the overall podium.

        Ivo Monticelli continued his return from injury with a strong fifth-place finish in race one. Following a great start that saw the Italian lead a four-rider battle for fourth place during the first half of the moto, he maintained his position and kept third place in sight as the laps wound down. Monticelli was then unfortunate to be held up by a back marker on the final lap, gifting fourth position to teammate Glenn Coldenhoff. Ivo ultimately crossed the finish line in fifth place, setting himself up for a strong second moto.

        Race two saw Ivo Monticelli make a great start as he utilized the full power of his MC 450F, emerging from the opening corner in second place. Riding with a little too much aggression, the 25-year-old crashed twice during the early stages of the 30-minute race. Finding his rhythm as the race reached half distance, Ivo held strong and crossed the finish line in 11th place.

        It was a tough day for GASGAS Factory Racing’s MX2 class rider Simon Langenfelder in Axel. The 16-year-old qualified in a strong sixth place before racing comfortably in fourth position for much of the opening moto. Frustratingly, a big crash at the halfway stage of the race ended the German’s day early. Despite the heavy fall, Langenfelder was unscathed and opted to skip race two and concentrate on Latvia next week, his return to MX2 World Championship competition.

        Glenn Coldenhoff:  “Overall, I’m happy with today. Qualifying was really close with everyone and I qualified fifth so that was ok. I felt great ahead of the first race, taking the holeshot but then the race was red flagged. On the restart my start was not so good, around 10th place. I was quickly up to sixth, however the track was quite smooth and one lined, so it was hard to make passes. I knew my fitness was good so I passed Benoit Paturel with two laps to go, then Monticelli got caught up with a back marker so I passed him and finished fourth. Race two I had another good start in third place. I moved into second place quickly and stayed there for most of the race. I was setting up the pass for the lead when I came together with a lapped rider. I dropped back to fourth and took a couple of laps to find my rhythm again. When I did I closed in on third place but by then the race was over. I’m really happy with my MC 450F, we made some small suspension changes for today and they worked, my speed and fitness are good so I’m really looking forward to next weekend in Latvia.”

        Ivo Monticelli:  “It was a good day for me. Qualifying went well and I had sixth gate pick for the races, so I was happy with this. Race one I had a great start and settled into fourth place straight away. I was really happy to be up front, keeping the leading riders in sight and race in clean air. Unfortunately, on the last lap I was held up by a lapped rider, which let Glenn pass me. But I ended the race in fifth, which is still a great result. Race two started really good, starting second, right behind Romain Febvre. I was a little too aggressive, making a mistake and dropping back to seventh. I then crashed twice all on my own and finished the race in 11th. Not the best result but these two Dutch races in the sand were great preparation for Latvia next week. I felt great on the bike so I’m in a good place.”

        Simon Langenfelder:   “I had a good day going, qualifying sixth this morning. In race one I had a good start and I was running third for the opening lap. I briefly moved up to second before moving back to fourth. I was running a comfortable pace for most of the race and then I unfortunately had a big crash, going over the handlebars and the bike landed on me. I am ok, a little sore. Myself and the team decided against lining up for race two. I’m healthy, my speed is good, and we will now focus on Latvia next week.”

        Both Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and the DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors will line up next weekend for the MXGP of Latvia, the return of the 2020 FIM World Motocross Championship on August 9.

        GASGAS FACTORY RACING TAKE MAIDEN INTERNATIONAL MOTOCROSS VICTORY

        GLENN COLDENHOFF WINS DUTCH INTERNATIONAL AHEAD OF MXGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP RETURN GASGAS Factory Racing made history today in international motocross racing, taking their maiden race and overall event win thanks to Standing Construct’s Glenn Coldenhoff. Racing at the Motorsportpark Gelderland Midden venue for the Dutch International a 2-1 result gave the Dutchman overall victory first time out on the new GASGAS Factory Racing MC 450F. Teammate Ivo Monticelli earned a strong seventh-place moto two finish while in the MX2 division Simon Langenfelder turned heads as he raced to a first moto fifth place, for seventh overall.
        • History made as GASGAS take maiden international motocross victory
        • Debut race for new GASGAS Factory Racing MC 250F and MC 450F
        • Dutch International classes stacked with MXGP and MX2 talent ahead of MXGP restart
        In his first competitive outing since round two of the FIM Motocross World Championship, Glenn Coldenhoff lined up on home soil for the Dutch International onboard the new GASGAS Factory Racing MC 450F machine. A strong start in race one enabled Coldenhoff to shadow race leader Romain Febvre for the duration of the moto, making a charge for the lead as the race neared its conclusion. The 29-year-old was able to pull to within one second of the race lead, ultimately ending the moto in a strong second place.

        Moto two saw history made with Glenn Coldenhoff taking GASGAS’ maiden international motocross race win. Charging to the moto two holeshot, a small mistake on the opening lap relegated Coldenhoff to second position before he formed part of a four-rider battle for the win. Able to take control of the race at the halfway stage and withstand pressure from many of his MXGP rivals, Glenn took the race victory and with it the overall win.

        Ivo Monticelli underwent shoulder surgery in April and after just four weeks on his bike lined up for the Dutch International. Race one was quickly over as a crash and subsequent bike damage forced the Italian out of the moto. Moving into seventh place on lap seven of the second race, Monticelli displayed impeccable fitness and challenged for sixth place in the closing stages of the 30-minute race.

        Simon Langenfelder delivered a heroic ride in the opening MX2 moto at the Dutch International. After the first-lap chaos settled down, Langenfelder went to work, passing no fewer than 14 riders to move into fifth position as the race wound down. With just four laps remaining and despite a sizeable margin to reach fourth place, the young German was relentless in his efforts, closing the 20 second gap down to just seven seconds by race end.

        After a strong opening moto, Langenfelder emerged in fifth place from the first corner and then settled into a comfortable rhythm. Over the course of the 30-minute moto the 16-year-old battled his MX2 rivals to cross the line in 10th place, claiming seventh place overall.

        Glenn Coldenhoff :  “It felt great to be back racing. I’ve worked really hard and put in a lot of time training and riding and it showed today. Ahead of this weekend I picked up a small foot injury and I was unable to ride for five days but it’s fully healed and I’m 100%. Qualifying was good, third place. My reaction on the start wasn’t great in race one and I had to push hard to move forwards. I was riding a little tense as I’ve not raced for such a long time so second place was a great way to return to racing. In race two I pulled a huge holeshot. I then made a little mistake and dropped back to second. I was able to regain the lead at the halfway point and then it was a charge to the end, we were all pushing so hard for the win and I’m really happy to have taken the race and overall win for myself and the team.”

        Ivo Monticelli:   “It was great to be back racing on my GASGAS. I had shoulder surgery in April and three months off of my bike. I’ve been riding for one month now so today was the first race for me and also the team. Unfortunately, in the first race I crashed and then crashed with another rider and his bike damaged mine, so I was unable to continue, which was disappointing. Race two was really good for me, seventh place and closing in on sixth at the end so I know my fitness is good, especially as the track was really rough.”

        Simon Langenfelder :  “This weekend was a tough race. I was a little nervous, which is to be expected as I haven’t raced for such a long time with the MX2 guys. First moto wasn’t great, a bad start and I clashed with another rider, but I was able to make a charge forwards and ended the moto fifth. I was a little surprised as I was around 20th on the first lap, so I know my speed is good. The second race, I had a great start, but I went into the first corner too fast. I managed to stay upright and then settled into a rhythm. 10th place in the moto was ok, not as good as moto one but overall I’m really happy. It’s great to be back racing and I’m happy for my team too.”

        Both Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and the DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors will be in action next weekend, in Axel for the second Dutch International event ahead of the MXGP World Championship resuming on August 9.

        Ver Perfil
        NEW MC 450F & MC 250F FACTORY BIKES TO BE USED BY STANDING CONSTRUCT GASGAS FACTORY RACING AND DIGA PROCROSS GASGAS FACTORY JUNIORS With the restart of the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship just a few weeks away, GASGAS Factory Racing’s official MXGP and MX2 riders are busy completing their preparations ahead of a return to MXGP competition, armed with the new GASGAS MC 450F and MC 250F factory machines.
        • GASGAS Factory Racing unveil new MC 450F & MC 250F factory bikes
        • MXGP & MX2 bikes will first be used at the Dutch International, Arnhem, July 26
        • New bikes underline GASGAS’ commitment to motocross
        Robert Jonas, VP Motorsports Offroad:  “This is another milestone for GASGAS Motorcycles. Knowing that Glenn, Ivo, Jeremy and Simon will be heading back into MXGP and MX2 competition on the new GASGAS MC 450F and MC 250F factory machines is a proud and important moment for all involved. Following GASGAS’ return to top-flight motocross earlier this year, introducing these new bikes was a key next step for us. Knowing just how much both Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors are looking forward to getting back to racing, for them to be able to complete their final weeks of preparations and then head into what will be a busy few months of MXGP racing with their new GASGAS Factory Racing machines is really exciting. We’re really looking forward to seeing these new bikes out on track and to all of our riders continuing their 2020 MXGP and MX2 seasons.”

        With more than four months having passed since round two of the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship, GASGAS Factory Racing’s official teams – Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors – are prepared for the much-anticipated and imminent restart of the MXGP series. Heading first to the Dutch International races being held at the Arnhem circuit, team riders Glenn Coldenhoff, Ivo Monticelli, Jeremy Sydow and Simon Längenfelder will all compete on the new GASGAS MC 450F and MC 250F factory machines.

        In the MXGP category both Glenn Coldenhoff and Ivo Monticelli are well prepared for their return to the highly competitive class. With Monticelli looking to put a frustrating start to his 2020 season behind him, Coldenhoff will resume his quest for a place inside the championship’s top five.

        For MX2 class riders Jeremy Sydow and Simon Längenfelder, the upcoming MXGP of Latvia will not only allow the young duo to return to world championship competition on the new MC 250F but also to continue the impressive run of form they each displayed during the opening two GPs. The new GASGAS MC 450F and MC 250F will take to the track for the first time on July 26 at the Dutch International event being held at the Arnhem circuit.

        Glenn Coldenhoff:  “This new bike is something I’ve really been looking forward to. It looks great and it’s really cool that we will return to racing with a new bike. Obviously, the last few months haven’t been like everyone expected but this is a special moment for us all. I’m feeling really good and my feeling with the new bike is great. I just want to get behind the gate again now and start racing.”

        Simon Längenfelder:   “This new bike just makes everything better for me. Riding it feels so good, I can’t wait to be back racing again. Over the next few weeks I will continue working hard, so I am in the best shape to compete on my new GASGAS.”

        JORGE CASALES FIFTH IN 2020 X-TRIAL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

        GASGAS FACTORY RACING CONCLUDE SHORTENED X-TRIAL SERIES WITHIN TOUCHING DISTANCE OF THE FINAL CHAMPIONSHIP PODIUM GASGAS Factory Racing’s Jorge Casales has been confirmed as having finished fifth in the 2020 FIM X-Trial World Championship, following the cancellation of the final two rounds of the series due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Competing in four of the five events held, Jorge’s best result came at the X-Trial of Barcelona, where he finished third overall.
        • Casales finishes fifth in 2020 FIM X-Trial World Championship
        • Third-place result at X-Trial Barcelona highlight of 2020 campaign
        • Casales and GASGAS Factory Racing look forward to returning to competition
        At the opening round of the FIM X-Trial World Championship, X-Trial Reunion Island, Jorge finished an encouraging fifth overall on his GASGAS TXT GP 300 machine – his debut indoor event for GASGAS Factory Racing.
        Not competing in the second round of the series, Casales returned to action at round three – X-Trial Budapest. Despite many weeks of focused training and preparations ahead of the event, a tough night inside the city’s Sport Arena nevertheless saw the Spaniard match his opening round result in fifth.
        Round four of the series was unquestionably the highlight of the championship for both Jorge and GASGAS Factory Racing. Competing in front of his home crowd, Casales not only secured his best result of the 2020 X-Trial series but also claimed his first ever indoor podium result. In finishing third alongside countrymen Toni Bou and Adam Raga, Jorge lifted himself to fifth in the X-Trial championship.
        Although unbeknown to all riders at the time, the X-Trial Bilbao was to be the final round of the 2020 FIM X-Trial World Championship. Finishing fifth on the night, Jorge ends the series in fifth position, tied on points with fourth-placed Benoit Bincaz and just six points behind third-placed Jeroni Fajardo.
        With the 2020 FIM X-Trial World Championship over, the FIM X-Trial of Nations is due to take place on the rescheduled date of November 6, inside the Arena Stade in Liévin, France.
        Jorge Casales:  “It’s a shame that the season has to end earlier than expected, but clearly the current situation is more important that motorsport. At the last event, in Bilbao, things didn’t go so well, so the next event in Andorra was very important to me as an opportunity to gain championship points. I was preparing myself well for that race but with how the situation is at the moment it’s time to stay home and hope that the situation improves soon. Then I will get ready for the Trial World Championship. We will also push for the Spanish championship, which we lead at the moment – I’m really focused on the start of the outdoor season. I want to thank the team for the work done and the effort that everyone puts in. I’m really happy with the new team, my first year back at GASGAS, and being able to make a podium in the X-Trial series was great. We keep improving every week.”

        Championship Standings: X-Trial World Championship 2020 1. Toni Bou, Montesa/Spain, 100 points
        2. Adam Raga, TRS/Spain, 75
        3. Jeroni Fajardo, Sherco/Spain, 34
        4. Benoit Bincaz, Beta/France, 28

        DETERMINED PERFORMANCES FROM GASGAS FACTORY RACING AT MXGP OF THE NETHERLANDS

        Ver Perfil
        STRONG OVERALL RESULTS FOR COLDENHOFF, SYDOW AND LANGENFELDER AT CHALLENGING SECOND ROUND OF MOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP GASGAS Factory Racing have enjoyed three top-10 overall results at round two of the FIM Motocross World Championship, the MXGP of The Netherlands at the iconic Valkenswaard circuit. Racing in the MXGP class for Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing, Glenn Coldenhoff overcame first lap crashes in both races to end the GP with 7-9 results, earning seventh overall. The DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors pairing of Simon Langenfelder and Jeremy Sydow stole the show in the second MX2 moto. Racing together as they battled at the front of the field, Langenfelder placed fifth in just the second GP of his career to earn 10th overall while Sydow recorded 14-8 results for eighth overall.
        • Three GASGAS Factory Racing riders inside the top-10 at MXGP of The Netherlands
        • MC 250F and MC 450F machinery faultless at demanding Dutch circuit
        • Coldenhoff now lies sixth in the MXGP standings while Sydow is 10th in MX2
        Glenn Coldenhoff made a great start in the opening MXGP race, running as high as sixth place, before coming together with another rider on the opening lap. The Dutchman remounted and fought through the talent-stacked MXGP field to break into the top-10 on lap 11 of the 17-lap race. On the penultimate lap, Glenn moved into ninth position where he remained until the finish. A first turn crash in race two saw Coldenhoff trapped in Clement Desalle’s bike, resulting in a burn to his leg. Despite this, and a subsequent additional fall, Coldenhoff remounted and ended the opening lap in 32nd before beginning a race-long charge to the front. Making more late race passes, he moved into seventh place to also earn seventh overall in the MXGP class. Glenn now moves up to sixth in the MXGP series standings ahead of round three in Argentina in two weeks’ time. Ivo Monticelli recorded a strong first MXGP moto finish in Valkenswaard. Running as high as 13th early in the race, he dropped back to 16th on lap five before latching onto the back of teammate Coldenhoff who was on his own charge through the field. Running in 14th place at the midway stage of the race, the Italian went on to finish the moto in 15th. A great start in the second race saw the MC 450F mounted rider running in sixth place early in the moto before a big crash saw the Italian land on his shoulder, which led to an early end to his race. Placing eighth overall in the MX2 class was DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors’ Jeremy Sydow. Continuing to collect valuable points in his first full season of MX2 World Championship competition, the youngster ended race one in a strong 14th position. Finishing a superb eighth in the second moto, Sydow placed eighth overall and moves up three places to 10th in the championship standings. Simon Langenfelder narrowly missed out on a points scoring ride in race one, ending the moto in 21st position despite a heavy fall. Making a huge step forward in moto two, a top-10 start saw the 15-year-old, in just his second GP, run in a strong third position for no fewer than six laps. Relinquishing pressure from two much more experienced rivals in the closing stages of the moto, the young German remained composed and finished the moto in fifth place, earning his first ever MX2 World Championship points. Both Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and the DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors will next be in action at round three of the FIM Motocross World Championship on March 22, at the MXGP of Patagonia Argentina. Glenn Coldenhoff:   “For sure not the results that I wanted as I was confident that I had the speed and fitness to be on the podium, but things just didn’t go the way I needed them to. Everyone knows I love the sand, and especially when it’s deep and demanding like it was this weekend. To get on the podium you have to be up front during the opening laps and frustratingly that didn’t happen for me. Things started well in the first moto and I got a solid start. But around the first lap I came together with another rider and that put me dead last, so I had a lot of work to do. I got back up to ninth, but of course I wanted a better result than that. The second race went wrong at the first corner. I crashed with Clement Desalle and got both my legs between his rear wheel and exhaust and burned my leg. I got going, fell again on the first lap, and, yeah, not what we’d hoped for. It’s always tough when you don’t get the result you know you can achieve, especially when you’re enjoying the track and conditions. But we’ll keep working and look forward to Argentina.” Ivo Monticelli:  “This has been a better weekend that the first GP because I took some points in the first race, but it’s also been a difficult GP with a heavy crash in the second race. I wasn’t able to ride too much before Valkenswaard because I needed a lot of massage and physio on the shoulder that I hurt at Matterley, so I was expecting things to be difficult. I managed to find a good rhythm in the first moto, and I was happy, also not too far from the top 10. So, to score some points was good. In the second race I had a good start, but then I crashed really heavily, went over the handlebars and landed on my shoulder again. I’m hoping nothing is damaged badly but we will get it checked and work on getting back to full fitness.”

        HISTORIC NEW CHAPTER BEGINS AS STANDING CONSTRUCT GASGAS FACTORY RACING AND DIGA PROCROSS GASGAS FACTORY JUNIORS CONTEST THE OPENING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT OF 2020 GASGAS Motorcycles will start an exciting new chapter in their offroad motorsport history this weekend as they step into the FIM Motocross World Championship for the first time. In what is a key moment for the brand as it expands to compete in top-level motocross alongside its trial, rally and planned enduro activities, the opening round of the MXGP and MX2 series will see GASGAS represented by Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors in the MXGP and MX2 classes respectively.
        • GASGAS Motorcycles start new motorsport chapter with MXGP entry
        • Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing spearhead MXGP effort
        • DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors set to do battle in MX2
        Robert Jonas, VP Motorsports Offroad:  “This is a very proud and important moment for all involved with GASGAS Motorcycles – the start of an exciting new chapter and the beginning of the brand’s journey into top-level motocross racing. GASGAS has a rich heritage in offroad motorcycling, it’s a brand that is about putting the fun back into riding, and together with Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors we have two established and passionate teams that perfectly fit what GASGAS is about. Like always, the first GP of every new season is a special moment, but we can say that for GASGAS this is also an historic moment. We know that all of our riders have prepared themselves with full commitment and we’re looking forward to seeing how they perform this year. Matterley Basin, the British GP, is a milestone for GASGAS Motorcycles, a key moment as we start our push to establish the brand on a global scale.”

        Becoming a part of PIERER Mobility AG at the end of 2019, GASGAS Motorcycles will benefit from the group's shared-platform strategy, alongside other brands within the company. Faced with a minimal amount of time in which to be ready for the MXGP season opener, the specification of both the MC 250F and MC 450F machines used at Matterley Basin and throughout early-season GPs will evolve in-line with the arrival of the 2021 GASGAS Motorcycles production models.

        Making GASGAS’ presence felt in the MXGP class, Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing will lead the brand into premier class competition. Glenn Coldenhoff, who placed third in last year’s series, comes into 2020 fit, healthy and looking to challenge for race wins. With impressive racing credentials, which include four overall GP wins and a pair of unbeaten performances at the two most recent editions of the Motocross of Nations, Coldenhoff begins the season in high spirits and as GASGAS’ MXGP team leader.

        Ivo Monticelli completes Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing’s MXGP line-up. Continuing with Standing Construct for a second season, Ivo will look to harness his attacking riding style and post consistent results for both GASGAS and himself. During 2019, Monticelli placed a career-best fifth overall at the MXGP of Trentino, highlighting just what the Italian is capable of.

        GASGAS Motorcycles are represented in the MX2 class by the DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors team. Fielding a young pair of talented Germans – Jeremy Sydow and Simon Langenfelder – the squad and their riders are aiming for top-10 results in their first full season of world championship participation. Sydow placed sixth in the final EMX 250 championship standings in 2019 and raced one MX2 GP where he posted an impressive 13th overall.

        Glenn Coldenhoff:  “It’s great to be a rider on a brand that is new to MXGP and to be a part of GASGAS’s history is an amazing feeling. I’m looking forward to making some good results and I’ve been working really hard over the winter months. There are some expectations from the team and also from myself, but we are racing MXGP and the goal is to win, so hopefully we can make that happen.”

        Ivo Monticelli:  “It’s a new bike and a new project and I’m really happy with what the team and GASGAS have provided me with. I’ve had a great off-season and I’ve been preparing the best that I can to ensure that I’m ready for the season. I’m ready to get on the gas!"

        Jeremy Sydow:  “It’s a really great opportunity for me to be a part of the DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors team. It will be my second year with this team and I’m really happy with my bike and appreciate the trust that they have in me. I can’t wait to race this season and I’ll be giving my best effort at all times to be the best rider that I can be.”

        Simon Langenfelder:  “It’s super-exciting to be racing a GASGAS this season. It will be my first full season in MX2, and I know that I have the bike and team to succeed. We’ve had a great winter preparation and I’m really happy with my bike so I’m looking forward to a great season ahead.”

        GLENN COLDENHOFF PLACES EIGHTH OVERALL AT MXGP ROUND ONE

        Ver Perfil
        STANDING CONSTRUCT GASGAS FACTORY RACING RIDER EARNS STRONG 6-6 RESULTS AT OPENING ROUND OF 2020 MOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP GASGAS Factory Racing have successfully completed their participation in the opening round of the FIM Motocross World Championship, the MXGP of Great Britain held at Matterley Basin. Ensuring a memorable weekend at the start of their first full season of MXGP and MX2 class competition, Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing’s Glenn Coldenhoff secured two impressive sixth-place results aboard his MC 450F machine.
        • Glenn Coldenhoff starts his 2020 MXGP campaign with eighth overall
        • MC 450F mounted rider overcomes difficult qualification to post strong 6-6 results
        • Motocross World Championship next heads to Coldenhoff’s home GP at Valkenswaard
        With high winds and heavy rain prior to the event, forcing organisers to drastically change Saturday’s practice and qualifying schedule, Coldenhoff was one of a number of riders unable to complete a satisfactory lap. At the end of the challenging 20-minute qualifying session, he secured the 18th fastest time, with teammate Ivo Monticelli 25th fastest.  The opening MXGP moto saw Coldenhoff start well, completing the first lap in sixth and then continuing to ride strongly throughout the race. Moving forward to fifth on lap two, Glenn held his position until lap seven when he dropped back one place to sixth, where he stayed until the chequered flag. Glenn completed the first moto just 30 seconds behind race winner Jeffrey Herlings.  Although not getting such a good start in the second race, Coldenhoff nevertheless completed the opening lap inside the top 10, before battling back-and-forth between eighth and ninth throughout the opening nine laps. In moving into seventh on lap 10 he showed impressive late-race speed, continuing to push hard during the closing laps of the race. Moving into sixth on lap 11 he rounded out the race without mistakes to match his first moto result and bring the season’s opening GP to a positive close.  Earning 30 world championship points from the MXGP of Great Britain, Coldenhoff sits just eight points behind second placed Tim Gajser heading into round two. 
        For Coldenhoff’s teammate Ivo Monticelli the first round of the 2020 MXGP series was a challenging one. Showing strong form to work his way to 10th following a 15th place start, the Italian looked set for a promising opening-moto result. Pushing hard, a fall resulted in the Italian landing heavily on his elbow, which resulted in pain in his left shoulder. Forced to bring his first race to an early end, he then ran as high as 15th in the second moto before another fall saw him drop back to an eventual 24th. 
        The DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors team saw Jeremy Sydow collect 15 MX2 championship points having finished a deserved 13th overall. A strong 12th place finish in race one was followed by a 15th in moto two. In his very first GP, 15-year-old Simon Langenfelder posted a 29-29 result to kickstart his MX2 World Championship career. 
        In the EMX125 class Guillem Farres finished just outside the top 10 in 12th overall following 16-12 results while David Braceras finished 19th overall after a second race 13th place result. 
        Glenn Coldenhoff: “It was a solid weekend for me, two sixth-place finishes is a very good start to the championship. Qualifying yesterday wasn’t great, which didn’t give me the greatest gate pick for today’s races. But it was what is was and this morning in warm-up I felt great and posted the third fastest time. That gave me some confidence heading into the races. My first moto start wasn’t great, but I pulled through from around 10th to sixth, so it was good to get the championship started with a positive result. The second moto was very similar to the first. I felt good, felt like my speed was there and had some good battles. I know that if my starts are better I can fight with the guys that were ahead of me this weekend. I’m looking forward to the next GP, it’s one of my favourites and I hope to get some solid results there too.” 
        Ivo Monticelli: “It’s been a tough weekend for me. In the first race I didn’t get a good start, but I worked my way from 15th to 10th in the first lap, so that was good. I was pushing to improve and then made a mistake in a corner. I landed heavily on my left elbow and felt a lot of pain in my shoulder. I was worried that I had done some damage, so I stopped my race. The good news was that noting was serious and after some time it started to feel better. With some ice and some time to recover I was ready for the second race. I wasn’t sure what I could do in the second moto, but I wanted to see what I could do. I crashed again, and, well it hasn’t been a good weekend. There were some positives from this first GP, but now I have to put these results behind me and focus on next weekend.” 
        Both Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and the DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors will continue their FIM Motocross World Championship campaigns on March 8, at the MXGP of The Netherlands.    Results – 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship, Round 1  MXGP - Overall

        MULTI-TIME ERZBERGRODEO, ENDUROCROSS AND SUPERENDURO CHAMPION TO LEAD GASGAS MOTORCYCLES INTO ENDURO COMPETITION   GASGAS Motorcycles are proud to officially welcome Taddy Blazusiak as their lead enduro rider with the Polish extreme and indoor legend embarking on a new chapter of his career aboard GASGAS EC 300 and EC 350F machinery.

        Bringing a wealth of enduro experience to the brand, Blazusiak will compete as a GASGAS Factory Racing rider contesting the WESS Enduro World Championship and FIM SuperEnduro World Championship.
        • Taddy Blazusiak to lead GASGAS Motorcycles in enduro competition
        • Polish racer will compete on EC 300 and EC 350F machinery
        • Taddy will compete in WESS Enduro World Championship & SuperEnduro World Championship
        A rider who needs little introduction, the 37-year-old Polish star has enjoyed a hugely decorated career to date, known the world over for his fully committed riding style and love of competition.

        As a six-time FIM SuperEnduro World Champion, five-time AMA EnduroCross Champion, five-time Red Bull Erzbergrodeo winner, along with having four X-Games Gold medals and a Red Bull Last Man Standing victory to his credit, Taddy has firmly cemented himself as one of the sport’s greatest athletes.

        Returning to top-flight competition in 2018 following a short career break, Blazusiak has shown that his competitive spirit remains as strong as ever.

        Finishing the 2019 WESS Enduro World Championship in fourth, while placing as runner-up in both the 2019 AMA EnduroCross Championship and 2020 SuperEnduro World Championship, Taddy remains a formidable competitor no matter what discipline or where in the world he lines up to compete.

        Motivated to establish GASGAS Motorcycles at the fore of enduro competition both indoors and out, Taddy is eager to begin this new and exciting era of his career.

        For extreme enduro competition Taddy will ride the EC 300 and compete on the EC 350F for classic enduro and indoor events. Utilizing the GASGAS trial range, he will also use the TXT RACING 300 as part of his training program.

        Taddy will make his first outing with GASGAS at the start of the 2020 WESS Enduro World Championship.

        Taddy Blazusiak:  “This is a really cool and exciting change in my career, the start of a new chapter for me. It’s an honor to lead the GASGAS brand back into enduro and I really want to do everyone proud. By joining this project from the beginning, I feel like I can really help to bring some value by using my experience to develop the bike and to show people what we are all about. There’s a freshness and a lot of energy about everything and I’m excited for people to see what we’ve been working on. Everyone that knows me knows how competitive I am, racing in new colors definitely makes me more determined to challenge for more race wins. Being a GASGAS rider means I get to race their exciting new enduro models as well as train on their amazing trial machines. Before I began competing in enduro, my trial career started with GASGAS. I won the European Trial Championship with them in 2004, so it’s very important to me to create something special now. Trial is still a big part of my life, the perfect way to prepare for the WESS Enduro World Championship. I’m already enjoying riding my TXT RACING 300 and know that I have the best bike available to sharpen my skills. Although this year has been different because of coronavirus, I do feel ready to get back racing. I’m really looking forward to returning to competition as a GASGAS rider.”

        Robert Jonas – VP Motorsports Offroad:  “For a brand like GASGAS there is no better rider than Taddy Blazusiak to lead it back into enduro competition. Taddy needs little introduction, his many successes say everything needed about his determination, professionalism and drive. While it is no secret that Taddy is now one of enduro’s more senior racers his experience and focus, and his want to keep pushing both himself and those around him to be the very best they can be, will be invaluable to GASGAS during the first steps of the enduro program. Both in competition and when involved in development and testing, Taddy will bring a huge amount to GASGAS and we are sure he’ll play a central role in driving the brand forward in the years ahead.”

        Justin Barcia wraps up MX season with a top-five moto finish at Ironman

        Ver Perfil
        The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team wrapped up a tough injury-plagued outdoor season at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana, with a goal of building momentum for the upcoming inaugural SuperMotocross playoffs.
        • Despite missing nine races, Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia goes into the playoff races in the tenth overall spot; while Pierce Brown is the 15th ranked 250 rider after missing seven races
        • Justin Barcia had an 11-5 score at Ironman for seventh overall
        • Pierce Brown’s 17-10 moto scores gave him 13th overall for the day
        250 MX After qualifying just outside the top ten of the talent-laden 250 class, Pierce Brown’s first moto got off to a rough start when he went down with a cluster of riders in the second turn. After remounting his MC 250F Factory Edition, he made his way back to 17th. In moto two, he got off to a better start and was 14th at the end of the first lap. From there, he picked off four riders, making his way to tenth at the finish. Pierce Brown:   “The first moto was a little bit rough. I got tangled up with some riders after the start which was unfortunate. I had to start from basically dead last, and was able to make it up to 17th. Not a good moto, but I was happy with my riding. In moto two it wasn't a great start or a terrible start, but I was able to make some passes and ended up tenth. So, for how the last couple motos have been I'm pretty happy with how I rode in moto two and how it went so hopefully we're building some momentum for the SuperMotocross rounds." 450 MX In his third race back since returning to action, Justin Barcia qualified tenth aboard his MC 450F Factory Edition on the fast and flowing Ironman circuit. Unfortunately, a crash early in moto one dropped him deep into the 40-rider pack. He salvaged what he could for the moto by charging his way back to 11th at the finish. In moto two, a much better start had him running in the top four, and he dropped one spot to finish fifth at the checkers. Justin Barcia:   “I had a tough first moto. I got into a little pile-up and came back to 11th. It definitely wasn't happy with that. In the second moto, I had a decent start and rode really hard. I found some decent lines, had a good flow going, and ended up fifth. I was definitely happier with the second moto considering where I was at a couple weeks ago to now. Not bad, but I definitely have a lot of work to do. I'm looking forward to SuperMotocross and getting back to my winning self.” Next Event (SuperMotocross Round 1): September 9, 2023 – zMax Dragway in Concord, N.C.

        Justin Barcia gets back on the gas at Budds Creek

        Ver Perfil
        The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team has been playing a bit of catch-up through the latter part of the Pro Motocross season since both Pierce Brown and Justin Barcia were injured and couldn’t put in a lot of work on bike setup before the team headed outdoors. But with a press day to experiment, and two solid motos for Justin, the weekend proved productive.
        • The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing used this round as a test session to get caught up on their setup for the remaining races in the outdoor season, as well as preparation for the upcoming SuperMotocross playoffs
        • Justin Barcia finished fifth overall with a 4-5 score
        • Pierce Brown had a tough day with crashes and finished with a 15-24 tally
        450 MX Considering that Justin Barcia was in only his second race back aboard his MC 450F Factory Edition since returning from injury, he put in an impressive ride in moto one. Justin was among the leaders heading into the first turn but slipped into third spot by the end of the first lap. Battling with other competitors throughout the moto, he dropped to as low as sixth place but worked back to finish fifth at the finish, hot on the rear wheel of the fourth-place finisher. In moto two, Justin was third off the line and made a great move into the second corner to nail down the second position. He stayed there for a couple of laps before slipping to third, where he remained for much of the moto as he battled other riders. With six laps to go, he was passed and moved to fourth, where he finished. Justin Barcia:   “It was definitely a more productive day here at Budds Creek. I qualified sixth after two good practices, and we kind of used this weekend as a testing session. It's hard coming back after being unable to test and do everything you need to do to prepare for the Nationals. Everyone has a lot of races under their belts, so we used press day as a test session, and then we changed the suspension going into the first moto. It worked out well for us today. We had two good starts, and battled up front in both motos. All in all I was extremely happy with where I'm at for not being able to train or anything. This is like only my fourth 30-minute moto since I started riding again, so considering that, I'm quite happy. We'll keep plugging along and working hard. I'm looking forward to Indiana and we'll keep building for SuperMotocross.” 250 MX With a deep and talented field, Pierce Brown was just outside of the top ten in the first moto aboard his MC 250F Factory Edition. But a bobble on lap two dropped him into the mid-20s for position, so the rest of the moto was spent working forwards to 15th. A tangle off the line in moto two put Pierce deep into the pack, and from there it was a battle to climb back to 24th. Pierce Brown:   “It was a tough day for sure. I qualified decent in Q1, and in Q2 I struggled. After that I just couldn't find my flow. In moto one I got a bad start and fell a couple laps in. When I restarted, I was in a pack of guys that weren't moving forward, and I couldn't move through them so it was tough. In moto two I tangled with a rider right out of the gate and I got the worst end of the stick on that one. It's racing. We'll bounce back next week at Ironman."

        It's back to business for Justin Barcia at Unadilla

        Ver Perfil
        After being focused solely on the 250 class since the start of the Pro Motocross series, the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team team was pumped to have entries in both classes at Unadilla.
        • The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing crew was excited to welcome back Justin Barcia at the famed Unadilla course
        • Justin had a rough return to action, with a crash-caused DNF in moto one, and a battle through the pack in moto two.
        • Pierce Brown scored another top ten 250 overall with a 12-11 day
        450 MX After sitting out the first eight rounds of the Pro Motocross series following an injury late in the Supercross series, it was back to business for Justin Barcia at his “home” race in Unadilla. He showed off excellent speed early in the day as he qualified in fourth position aboard his MC 450F Factory Edition. Unfortunately, a crash in the first turn of moto one damaged his clutch lever, and the team opted to remove it. After another crash later in the moto, Justin opted to head back to the pits. After starting just inside the top 20 in moto two despite another tangle on lap one, Justin methodically picked his way to 14th, making the most of his race to prep for future events. Justin Barcia:   “The day started off really well. I was really having a good time and was going into the first moto with a lot of good vibes and good feels. Unfortunately, I got in a first-turn pile-up, and damaged my bike pretty bad. I tried to do a few laps but I ended up crashing again and had to pull her in and go back to the semi. So that was a shame for the first moto, not really the race I wanted coming back. In the second moto I had the far outside gate pick. I got off to a good jump, but pretty much had nowhere to go in the tight Unadilla first corner so I was pretty buried. I was charging through the third corner and got in another little pile-up and ended up going down. It was an extremely tough moto. That was my first 30 minute moto in a long time. So it was a tough day, but all-in-all it was very nice to be back at the races. We know we've got a lot of work to do and knew that this would be a good test for the future Supermotocross stuff. So we'll keep working and be back next week at Budds Creek.” 250 MX Pierce Brown ran inside the top ten for most of the first moto aboard his MC 250F Factory Edition before a crash late in the race dropped him to 12th. In moto two, he started in the low teens before eventually moving up to 11th. Consistency paid off, with an 10th overall. Pierce Brown:   “I had an all-right day, with tenth overall. I definitely want more. We struggled a little bit in both motos, just getting off the gate. I had to come from behind in both motos, especially the second one. In moto one I fell with a lap to go, so I lost some spots there. In moto two I had a charge. I made some pretty good passes with a couple laps to go to get myself in a better position. I'm happy, but I want more. We're going to push to build for the rest of the season." Next Event (Round 10): August 19, 2023 – Budds Creek Motocross Park in Mechanicsville, Md.

        Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing's Justin Barcia back on track for Unadilla

        Ver Perfil
        This weekend's ninth round of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship at Unadilla will see Justin Barcia make a welcome return to action with Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing, marking his first outdoor appearance of the 2023 season.
        • Justin Barcia will be back behind the 450MX Class gates at Unadilla
        • Final three rounds of Pro Motocross will lead into SMX Championship
        • Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS thanks 250MX fill-in Caden Braswell
        Barcia, who was recently on location at the GASGAS Spice It Up Festival in Italy to help introduce the 2024 range, will be back on track riding his MC 450F Factory Edition across the final three rounds of the outdoor season and is excited to build momentum over the course of the next three weeks.
        Justin was initially injured toward the end of April in Nashville's AMA Supercross Championship round, with complications delaying his return. Despite sitting out the final stages of the 450SX season and missing the majority of Pro Motocross, the 31-year-old currently sits 10th in the combined SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) standings.
        Justin Barcia:   "It's been a process, for sure, a lot to think about. We're past the injury now after two surgeries, lots of training and a lot of recovery, so I'm definitely excited to come back at my home race in New York for the fans and myself, just to get out there. There are no expectations set because I've been off for a lot of months, so I just want to go out there and have fun and build. Obviously, as a racer, you always want to be competitive, but I just need to get back to the races and enjoy being around the team, as well as my family and friends there. Unadilla's going to be a cool race!" With Barcia lining up alongside 250MX team regular Pierce Brown this Saturday at Unadilla, Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing would like to thank fill-in rider Caden Braswell for his efforts throughout the opening eight rounds of the series.
        Max Lee, Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team Manager:   "We are very excited to have Justin Barcia back racing with us at Unadilla. It’s been longer than we all expected for him to be returning to the races, but we are as excited as ever to have him alongside Pierce Brown this weekend. Without a ton of time that Justin has had on the bike, it looks like he hasn’t skipped a beat. I’m excited to bring him back to his home MX race of the season and hopefully bring some more excitement as well! Caden will no longer be joining us at the races this season. The team is very thankful for the opportunity to work with him and for keeping us racing, since for the first six rounds, he was our only rider. We wish him the best in the next step of his career and hope he can keep improving. See you at the races!"

        Pierce Brown grabs tenth overall at Washougal MX

        Ver Perfil
        Heading into round eight of the Pro Motocross season, the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team was looking to post some solid results ahead of a two-week break.
        • The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing crew was ready to rock in the Pacific Northwest on the famed Washougal circuit
        • Pierce Brown was in his second race back and turned in his best results of the season
        • Caden Braswell has moved to 11th in the overall season standings
        250 MX Pierce Brown was in his second race back since returning from injury and showed improved speed on his MC 250F Factory Edition. A 12th in moto one after a crash, and an 11th in moto two resulted in a tenth overall for the day. Pierce Brown:  “Not the best day, but we ran the pace for a little bit with the guys in the first moto. While in eighth or ninth I was behind Shimoda trying to match his laps and made a mistake jumping into the sand. I ended up crashing pretty hard and I ended up 12th. In moto two I think I ran in sixth for about half the moto. The track was gnarly today and it kind of beat me up. I was still shaken from the crash and ended up fading. I don't know what place I got, but I ended up tenth overall. Better than last weekend, but we definitely want more." For Caden Braswell, a 15-13 afternoon was good for 12th overall, and he boosted up a spot in the overall 250 series standings to 11th place. Caden Braswell:   “Washougal was better than last weekend but not where I want to be. Strengths were the end of the motos; I felt strong and my fitness was there. Overall, I just need to improve my qualifying and sprint speed. As always, thanks to the  Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team.

        Pierce Brown returns to action at Spring Creek MX

        Ver Perfil
        It’s been a lonely summer for Caden Braswell for much of the Pro Motocross season, as the Floridian has been the lone healthy GASGAS Factory rider for much of the season. But the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team was at double-strength for Spring Creek MX, with the return of Pierce Brown to the lineup.
        • The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing was ready to take on the challenge of the sand whoops and hills on the Spring Creek course
        • Pierce Brown made Spring Creek his debut race of the Pro Motocross season after returning from injury
        • Caden Braswell was excited to not be the lone rider in the rig this weekend
        250 MX For his first race of the outdoor season, Pierce Brown picked a tough one. He was 11th off the line aboard his MC 250F Factory Edition, and he climbed to ninth at the finish. In moto two, he came off the gate well and was up to seventh place, before a crash and technical issue caused him to slip to 16th at the finish, leaving him 12th overall for his return to action. Pierce Brown:   “For the first race back at Millville the first race back I had some fun. I'm finally out here racing with the boys and the first moto was quiet but solid with a ninth. The second moto started a little better. That uphill triple is big. I tried it one time, cased it, and came to a stop. After that, I got to the top of the hill, tucked the front end, and fell. But after that, I got up and felt like I was riding really good. I caught back up to the pack that passed me. But overall, for the first race back it was a fun one. I get to go to Washougal next week, which is one of my favorite tracks on the circuit, so I'm excited for that one." For moto one, Caden was 13th off the line, and while he climbed as high as 11th during the moto in the highly competitive class, he eventually returned to 13th at the finish. During the second moto he battled inside the top 15, but a crash dropped him to 23rd in the moto, and 17th overall for the day. Caden Braswell:   “Out here at Spring Creek it was a beautiful day. God gave us some great weather this weekend. We had an awesome track, and the team did a great job. We had two bikes (on track) this weekend, which was awesome. It was nice to have a teammate. These were not the results I was wanting, but we'll come out swinging in Washougal." Next Event (Round Eight): July 22, 2023 – Washougal MX Park in Washougal, Wash.

        Braswell brings home season-best results at Thunder Valley

        Ver Perfil
        Gravity has been extremely tough on the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing team through the latter part of the Supercross season and during the start of the Pro Motocross tour, with the 250 duo of Michael Mosiman and Pierce Brown still on the mend. On the 450 side, Justin Barcia had intended on trying to return to action, but a setback with a cracked collarbone plate put him back on the sidelines. That left 250 rookie Caden Braswell as the lone team rider heading into Thunder Valley.
        • The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing was extra-lean, with a single 250 riders lining up
        • Caden Braswell scored his season-best by every measure…qualifying, moto finishes, and overall
        • Mastering the tough, extremely rutted track proved to be a good confidence booster for Braswell
        250 MX With Michael Mosiman still sidelined after a tough crash at Hangtown, and Pierce Brown still on the mend, it was up to Caden Braswell to hold it down for the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing team. Despite the extreme challenges provided by the Thunder Valley course, Braswell turned in his best results of the season. He bettered his previous best qualifying position on his MC 250F Factory Edition by six spots. He also improved his finish in each moto by several spots, scoring a solid 12-12 day for 12thoverall. In moto one he ran inside the top ten for nearly half the moto, giving him a better look at the pace of the front-runners. " I wasn't really happy with the results from Hangtown, so we worked hard this week and rode with some more confidence. I felt a lot more loose and free on the bike, and enjoyed the longer ruts here at Thunder Valley,” said Braswell. “I'm looking forward to some more good starts, more long ruts, and some good dirt at High Point."

        The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team headed to California's Gold Country hoping to turn around their recent racing fortunes.
        • The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing was running lean and mean again in Northern California with a 250-only roster
        • Michael Mosiman had a 14-40 day after a tough crash in moto two
        • Caden Braswell continued his four-race fill-in roll with the team
        250 MX Michael Mosiman was on home turf at Hangtown and he was looking for a solid result aboard his MC 250F Factory Edition. Unfortunately, a 14th-place finish in moto one proved to be the high water mark for him and the team, as a tough crash in moto two ended his day. Updates on his status for future events will be provided after he gets checked out by his doctors. The team’s other rider, Caden Braswell, tallied a 27-16 day for 19th overall. That matched his result from round one at Pala. "Out here at Hangtown, we had a progressive day,” said Braswell. “We've got some things to look back on, and also some good things to take away. My confidence is growing on the bike and with the team. I'm surrounded by great people and I'm looking forward to the third round in Colorado with a big old fire in my belly."

        Michael Mosiman returns to action at Pro Motocross season opener

        Ver Perfil
        The 2023 AMA Supercross season proved rough on the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team rider roster, so it was a two-rider all-250 effort that lined up for the opening round of the Pro Motocross Championship in Pala, California.
        • Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing 450MX regulars Justin Barcia and Pierce Brown continue to recover from injuries sustained late in the AMA Supercross Championship.
        • Michael Mosiman returned to action after sitting out much of the 250 East Supercross season
        • After previous success with the GASGAS amateur program, Caden Braswell joined the team for the first four rounds
        250 MX After injuries earlier in the season, Michael Mosiman was back in the saddle of his MC 250F Factory Edition, but still in rebuilding mode. He scored a 19th in moto one and made some adjustments for moto two and came home with a tenth-place finish. Michael Mosiman: “This was the first round for me after quite a long time off. It's been a lot of hard work to build back, and today was just another step in that process. I would have liked to finish better but there are some building steps and some things that we improved. We made big improvements to the bike in the second moto and I felt a lot more comfortable. That allowed me to put together clean laps. I'm excited for the future and to head to Hangtown and get after it.”
        Caden’s first crack at the Pro Motocross series resulted in a pair of 18th-place moto finishes in an extremely stacked field.
        Caden Braswell: "I'm super grateful for the opportunity. Pala was an amazing experience for my first Pro Motocross National. I'm absolutely thrilled to have done it with the Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS team. The team was amazing...super-hard working and encouraging. I'm disappointed in my results because I know the bike and I are capable of so much more. I'm going to keep my head up pulling into Hangtown and strive to do better."

        Barcia masters the mud in East Rutherford Supercross

        Ver Perfil
        The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team had to wait out a lightning delay and deal with a downpour, but the results were worth it as Justin Barcia took the 450 main event win in extremely muddy conditions.
        • Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team records its first main event win of the 2023 AMA Supercross season
        • Justin Barcia was fast in his home race, whether in wet or dry conditions
        • Pierce Brown finished 11th in the 250 East/West Showdown
        450SX Judging by the third place and second-place finishes at the previous rounds in Glendale and Atlanta, Justin and the team had high hopes heading into East Rutherford, NJ, located just outside New York City. Thunderstorms caused a delay for the scheduled start of the main events, and a steady downpour made a quagmire of the track. But after getting a strong start out of the gate, and sizing up the leader for the first six laps, Justin Barcia and his MC 450F Factory Edition took over the lead and stretched it to a 14-second advantage at the finish. Justin Barcia:   "I don't remember practice. I don't remember the heat race. But I remember that main event! I got out there and was battling with the boys, took the lead, rode away, and took the win. It was very special. The team crushed it, mud-prepped quick, and it was an awesome race. I don't really know what else to say because I'm very happy!” 250SX East/West
        For Pierce Brown and his MC 250F Factory Edition, the night was a bit more challenging. After qualifying fifth, and finishing fourth in his 250 West heat race in the dry conditions, things were looking good. Unfortunately, a midpack start, followed by a crash, resulted in an 11th-place finish. Pierce Brown:  “It wasn't an ideal night in New York. I did all right in the heat, with a fourth-place finish. We had a couple of hour delay before the main event. It rained hard, so the track was pretty wet when we got out there. I got off to an okay start...midpack. I was trying to go through the pack and collided with a rider about three or four laps into the race and fell. That set me back pretty far. I think I got up in last or second-to-last. After that I put a charge on and did all I could do and ended up 11th.”

        JUSTIN BARCIA COMES OUT SWINGING AT ANAHEIM SX SEASON OPENER

        Ver Perfil
        The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team came to the AMA Supercross Championship season opener with their usual high hopes, a full off-season of preparation, and of course, Troy’s artistic touches for the rider’s helmets, bikes and gear. Racing aboard the all-new 2023 MC 450F and MC 250F Factory Edition bikes for the first time, both Justin Barcia and Pierce Brown came away with their fair share of ups and downs in Anaheim, California. 
        • The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team came in hot for the start of the 2023 season!
        • Barcia brings the speed with an amazing holeshot in the 450 main
        • Brown unfortunately suffered a race-ending crash in the 250SX West heat race
        450SX
        Justin Barcia and Anaheim 1 are generally a solid match, and he’s had plenty of success (including wins and podiums) in previous years at the season opener. Another win looked like a definite possibility once again, as he quickly grabbed the holeshot aboard his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition and jumped into the early lead. Unfortunately, after leading the first three laps ahead of last year’s champ, he had an off-track excursion that dropped him to the 11th spot.

        Justin Barcia:  "A1 is a wrap. The day started off pretty well. I felt good in the first practice but I struggled a little bit in the next two, just with feeling comfortable with the track, because it was very tricky with a lot of square edges and things like that. I made a big change before the heat race and unfortunately went in the wrong direction. So I went back to my base setting for the main event. Pretty much ripped the holeshot, led a few laps, made a huge mistake, and had a crash. I worked my way back up to like seventh and had another crash. So it was a difficult main event. We'll take a few positives from the day. We had a good start, and we had speed, we just need to keep it on two wheels and keep it simple and we'll be good. But the speed is there, the fitness is there, and the bike's there, so I'm happy with that and definitely put this result behind us and move forward."

        Pierce Brown started off the day on the gas, qualifying in the third position. But a hard crash in his heat race proved to be the end of his evening. After being seen by the Alpinestars Mobile Medical crew, he was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation. The good news is that he’s already been released, and is headed home.
