Clement Desalle talks MXGP #mylid

September 05 2017

28 year old Monster Energy Kawasaki MXGP star Clement Desalle has a rather mean-looking Panda as part of his race number and attached to the rear of his Airoh helmet. The stylish and fast Belgian has been associated with the large Asian animal for most of his decade-long career in Grand Prix: the contrasting colours matching Desalle’s cool but economical riding style and his dizzying speed as one of the main protagonists of the FIM Motocross World Championship.

The 2017 campaign will wrap in two weeks time with events at Assen, Holland and Villars sous Ecot in France following a stuffy and fast fixture at WW Motocross Park on the east coast of the USA and where Jeffrey Herlings triumphed for the fourth time in the seventeen rounds held to-date. Also on the box was Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac who turned around a difficult practice and qualification on Saturday to win the first race and classify as runner-up when it counted.

Febvre makes it happen in Swedish MXGP with first 2017 podium finish

August 20 2017

Daylight lingers longer around Uddevalla than any other round of the MXGP series but it was also Monster Energy Yamaha’s Romain Febvre who shone that bit brighter at a busy Grand Prix of Sweden and the sixteenth chase of nineteen. The FIM World Championship journeyed to the further point north on its global trek and as the season hurries to a conclusion with events in the USA, Holland and France still to go. Uddevalla came back into the MXGP picture after a year in the shade and the thundery climate and frequent showers helped churn the undulating hard-pack layout into a slick but attackable layout.

August 13 2017

Like some of the stereotypical aspects of Switzerland the fifteenth round of nineteen of 2017 MXGP at Frauenfeld demanded clockwork precision and provided some actions scenes that were delectable as the country’s famous chocolate.

On this fantastic stage Kemea Yamaha’s Benoit Paturel broke the floodgates by securing his first ever Grand Prix win in the MX2 class.

Desalle content with fourth place through hellish Lommel sand

August 07 2017

The busy ‘Fritturs’ were not the only things that were cooking at Lommel this weekend. The Grand Prix of Belgium took place in the devilishly rough sand for the fourth year in a row and in spite of a revised track layout and changeable weather conditions - that saw the site awash in the wake of two torrential rain showers on Saturday - the terrain was still arguably the hardest test of man and machine on the MXGP calendar.
