The 2017 FIM Motocross World Championship’s round 4 was a spectacular one at the MXGP of Leon-Mexico, especially for the winners, Team HRC’s Tim Gajser and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Thomas Covington.

MXGP Team HRC’s Tim Gajser came into Sunday after qualifying first on Saturday for the second GP in a row. Gasjer won both races in textbook form on Sunday.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli came into the weekend knowing that he needed to perform in order to keep the championship points manageable before heading to Italy for the first race in Europe. In Race 1 Tony started in 4th and he maintained his position until the checkered flag while in Race 2 he finished in second which, combined with his 4th, was enough to finish second overall. Cairoli now is second in the championship 20 points back of Gajser. In the press conference Cairoli said, “I did my best, I finished 4th in the first moto which is good for the championship. Tim and I were a little faster than everyone else today and I want to be closer in the races because it is fun to race with him.”

There was a rumor about him supposedly cheating on her after RB got a girl for him or smth like that/// but there was another one similar to this one also don't remember if was before or after Mexico// I think you two are talking about the same rumor, that one RB hired models for a private event before MXGP, but Max left early and it got canceled. The "source" was a model that would be there and was posted on a brazilian telegram gossip group that hates Max and KP. No way that shit was real LOL.

THAT WAS THE ONE

Motocross Tips – How to Shift Gears For Maximum Speed

I have noticed that a number of starting motocross riders frequently get quite confused about a way to shift gears nicely. Anyone appears to have a unique opinion and it could be pretty hard to find instructional materials that simply cover this critical component of motocross method.

There are two ways that I personally like to shift up gears on a motocross motorbike and I am going to try to explain them in this quick article.

For the primary way, you don’t use the grasp. Essentially all you want to do is backtrack the throttle,

Shift up after which get directly again on the throttle as brief as you could. It is Adequate to not use the clutch in this situation because the pressure is momentarily disengaged.

This way is quality however because you have to back down the throttle, you’ll lose a bit of momentum and also you can not manage to pay for to do that in a race.

You won’t have to anticipate the power to dial in once more as within the previous method.

Now, a number of human beings think you need to use the grasp while

Downshifting but that isn’t always the case in any respect. when you shift down, there isn’t everywhere close to as a lot of a stress on the engine so It’s now not virtually necessary. In fact, with the aid of no longer the usage of the grab, you’re capable of use the engines natural resistance to help you slow down (this is called engine braking). Ideally, the best time you have to be moving down is whilst you are on the brakes. Being on the brakes means that There is even less pressure located on the engine and the combined impact will allow you too sluggish downloads more correctly.

Jorge Prado logra el primer podio de la temporada

Fuente original: Jorge Prado logra el primer podio de la temporada Puedes ver más visitando Teleindiscreta - Las mejores noticias de actualidad, famosos, salud, belleza, cocina, motor, música y mucho más.

Jorge Prado sigue escribiendo líneas en la historia del motocross español. El gallego, que ya había sido el año pasado el primer piloto en subir al podio en su debut en el Mundial de MX2, ha vuelto a superarse en la tercera prueba del Mundial 2017, en la que ha conseguido la segunda posición y por tanto, su primer podio de la temporada. El jovencísimo gallego llegaba a Argentina dispuesto a resarcirse del tropiezo en la carrera de Indonesia, en la que un barrizal le impidió brillar como a él le hubiera gustado. Sabía que su posición en el campeonato estaba por debajo de lo que él mismo esperaba y quería demostrarlo en Argentina”.

“Con razón el circuito de Argentina está considerado como el mejor del Mundial, es una pista preciosa, muy rápida, con saltos espectaculares, varias trazadas en las curvas y un terreno arenoso sobre superficie dura. Lo había visto en vídeos, pero después en carrera he disfrutado mucho en él y en este país lleno de aficionados que además hablan nuestra misma lengua”, Jorge estaba exultante tras empaparse de champagne en el podio junto a los dos grandes favoritos del campeonato, Pauls Jonass y Jeremy Seewer. En un circuito espectacular y en dos mangas apasionantes, Prado volvió a dejar boquiabiertos a los asistentes con una madurez y talento en su pilotaje que difícilmente podían corresponder al piloto más joven de la parrilla. Lo había demostrado ya el sábado con su tercer crono en entrenamientos y su segundo puesto en la manga clasificatoria, pero la duda era saber si Jorge sería capaz de aguantar ese ritmo tan rápido durante dos largas mangas. Claro que lo fue.

Las dos carreras fueron parecidas, el lucense arrancó primero en ambas, llevándose los preciados “holeshot” y liderando la primera vuelta por delante de su compañero de equipo Jonass. En la primera parte de las mangas Jorge peleó con la otra KTM y con los otros favoritos del Mundial, el francés Paturel, en la primera, y el suizo Seewer, en la segunda. Al final Prado logró terminar tercero en ambas mangas y lograr la segunda posición en el Gran Premio y por tanto el mejor resultado en su carrera. “Venía a Argentina con muchas ganas y pensaba que podía meterme entre los cinco primeros, pero terminar segundo ha sido una gran alegría. No ha sido fácil, he tenido que apretar fuerte durante toda la carrera, rodando al máximo en cada vuelta y aguantando la presión de los que venían detrás… Ha sido una carrera dura”. El danés Olsen y el americano Sanayei, fueron víctimas de esa consistencia y firmeza del piloto de Red Bull-KTM, que defendió su plaza en el podio desde la salida hasta la bandera a cuadros. El otro español en la carrera, Iker Larrañaga, fue 15º, la misma posición que José Butrón en la prueba de MXGP.

Con este resultado, Jorge suma cuarenta puntos en Patagonia y escala al octavo puesto de la general y, lo que es más importante, recibe una inyección de moral importantísima para afrontar las 16 pruebas que quedan en el Campeonato del Mundo: “Salgo de aquí con la moral muy alta y con muchas ganas de seguir entrenando y hacer buenos resultados en las próximas carreras”. Prado se desplazará directamente desde Argentina a California, donde estará entrenando con la estructura del equipo KTM-USA hasta la siguiente prueba del Mundial que será dentro de dos semanas en Mexico.

Gajser and Covington take Pole in Leon - Mexico MXGP

The Qualifying Races of the MXGP of Leon-Mexico graced the Mexican soil today. At the end of the qualifying races Team HRC’s Tim Gajser and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Thomas Covington found the required speed to take the pole position for Sunday.

MXGP Team HRC’s Tim Gajser made his way past the KTM of Glenn Coldenhoff before they completed the first lap to move into the lead.

Gajser later in the press conference stated, “I’ve started enjoying racing again, I felt good and I will do my best tomorrow.”

It was the second qualifying race in a row that Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Glenn Coldenhoff rocketed into the first turn to claim the holeshot over the rest of the field, Coldenhoff battled for the lead with Tim Gajser until a costly error took him out of the race.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Gautier Paulin had a good start and he was third on the first lap before he moved to second on lap 4 after Coldenoff’s issue. Gautier stayed in a lonely second throughout the race, earning himself second gate pick for Sunday’s Race 1.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Max Anstie put another Husqvarna in the top three for qualifying. After starting in fifth he gained ground throughout the first half of the race on Clement Desalle. Anstie passed Desalle on lap 6 of 12 putting himself into third for the rest of the session.

Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Clement Desalle started in 4th and after a battle with Max Anstie he felt pressure in the closing stages of Qualifying from Jeremy Van Horebeek. Desalle was however able to keep Van Horebeek outside of striking distance maintaining the 4th place which could give him the start he needs to reach Sunday’s podium.

Meanwhile Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Van Horebeek had a solid qualifying performance to follow up on his podium from the last round in Patagonia – Argentina. Van Horebeek started in 7th place but moved into fifth on lap 5 where he had pressure from Antonio Cairoli for several laps. The Belgian responded by closing on Desalle in an attempt to move into fourth but it was a little too late as he would finish 5th.

In addition Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli worked his way past a couple of riders, including Red Bull KTM Factory Racing teammate Jeffrey Herlings. Cairoli was 9th on the first lap but 6th at the finish while Herlings qualified 8th after battling with Marchetti Racing Team KTM’s Jose Butron.

Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Romain Febvre ended up pulling out of the qualifying race due to a mechanical issue.

This win marks the first qualifying victory for Thomas Covington on the same track that he won his first MX2 race and his first Overall back in 2015. When asked about his race in the press conference Covington said, “After the start I just found some good lines and rode smooth after that. I had my regular training last week, I spent time with family and that puts me in a good place mentally.”

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Pauls Jonass was third off the start but he made a pass on lap 6. Jonass settled for second as Covington’s gap was too vast to conquer.

LRT KTM’s Julien Lieber had a great start as he was second on the first lap. He was passed only by the factory KTM of Pauls Jonass. His good start and solid riding allowed him to qualify in the 3rd spot.

HSF Logistics Motorsport Team’s Calvin Vlaanderen appeared to be feeling good in Mexico.

Coming into Sunday he will be the fourth rider to line up at the gate potentially setting himself up for another good race.

Kemea Yamaha MX Official Team’s Benoit Paturel wasn’t able to make the moves he most likely wanted after his 6th place start, but he did move forward and he comes into Sunday prepared to battle for the podium.

Monster Energy DRT Kawasaki’s Vsevolod Brylyakov showed speed in free practice with the 3rd fastest time and he was 2nd in time practice, however errors cost him as he finished 9th in today’s qualifying race.

While Monster Energy DRT Kawasaki teammate Darian Sanayei fell on the first lap and then pulled off the track, Sanayei has now shifted his focus to rebounding for tomorrow’s racing.

Red plate holder and Suzuki World MX2’s Jeremy Seewer finished 8th in today’s qualifying but maintains his motivation for Sunday’s gate drop.

MXGP Heating up in Leon

The 4th round of the FIM Motocross World Championship is about to take to the dirt at the MXGP of Leon-Mexico this weekend. This will be the only time this year that the riders of the MXGP and MX2 world championships are in Central America under the Mexican heat. Hosting MXGP and MX2 for the 4th year in a row, Leon is set for another year of bar to bar racing.

MXGP Perfect weekends are hard to come by but Team HRC’s Tim Gajser figured it out at the MXGP of Patagonia – Argentina. Gajser won the Qualifying Race, Race 1, and Race 2, he accomplished all of which in a cool and precise manner. The Slovenian won in Leon last year and he will need to keep his cool once again if he expects to have the same success under the bright sun and 30 degree Celsius temperatures predicted for Leon.

Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Van Horebeek had his best races of the year in Patagonia Argentina finishing second overall. Momentum and confidence are often the keys to win, keys that Jeremy holds coming into Leon.

Team HRC’s Evgeny Bobryshev is impressing week after week with Patagonia Argentina being the pinnacle thus far. The Russian fought through sickness up to and during the GP eventually coming away with his first podium of the season and a second place finish in race 2. In 2015 he placed third in Leon and last year was one spot shy of the podium. Assuming Bobryshev has recovered, he is likely to be competing for his second podium this year and maybe even the victory in Leon.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli came into Patagonia with the points but saw himself slip into second in the championship after a testing weekend. The Italian showed some serious speed on his way through the pack though and will look to better his 2016 MXGP of Leon 6th place finish.

Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Clement Desalle sits 6 points behind Cairoli in the championship. The MXGP of Patagonia Argentina was a mixed bag for Desalle as he placed 3rd in race 1 and lead laps in race 2 before losing rhythm and dropping to a 10th place finish for 6th overall. If Desalle can keep his focus it’s clear he has the speed to challenge for a win in Mexico. Desalle’s teammate Jordi Tixier will miss the MXGP in Leon due to a surgery, leaving Clement as the only MXGP rider in Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team.

Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Romain Febvre was about to win the Overall last year going 1-2 to Gajser’s 2-1 in Leon. Febvre has spent the week training in the US and now looks to conquer this year’s MXGP of Leon.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Max Nagl rode at podium level during the last MXGP of Leon placing 3rd and after an 8th in Neuquen he is undoubtedly hungry for a result closer to last years, if not better.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings won in Leon last year in MX2 and after a difficult start on his 450cc rookie season, Herlings’ frustration is evident. With signs of improvement in Patagonia Argentina’s race 2 he is heading to the right direction and he is always a potential top finisher.

2017 MXGP Championship Top Ten: 1. Tim Gajser (SLO, HON), 106 points; 2. Antonio Cairoli (ITA, KTM), 96 p.; 3. Clement Desalle (BEL, KAW), 91 p.; 4. Jeremy Van Horebeek (BEL, YAM), 84 p.; 5. Evgeny Bobryshev (RUS, HON), 82 p.; 6. Gautier Paulin (FRA, HUS), 72 p.; 7. Romain Febvre (FRA, YAM), 65 p.; 8. Kevin Strijbos (BEL, SUZ), 56 p.; 9. Shaun Simpson (GBR, YAM), 55 p.; 10. Max Anstie (GBR, HUS), 49 p.

MX2 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Pauls Jonass was the other rider to figure out the recipe for a perfect weekend in Patagonia Argentina and it was the second time this season but after struggles in Indonesia he sits second in the championship. Jonass finished fourth in last year’s Leon GP but with speed that seems unmatchable at times he is a favorite for this weekend.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado Garcia battled for wins against his teammate Jonass during both races in Argentina ending up 2nd overall. The 16 year old Spaniard now looks to come out on the top step of podium in Mexico.

Team Suzuki World MX2’s Jeremy Seewer rode consistent in Neuquen finishing top 5 in race 1 and second in race 2. His results give him the red plate coming to Mexico, where last year he finished 2nd behind the previous MX2 rider Jeffrey Herlings.

Kemea Yamaha Official MX Team’s Benoit Paturel made some good moves in race 1 at last round finishing 2nd but a mishap in race 2 resulting in a ninth place, cost him the red plate. Benoit now sits 3rd in the championship standings and is searching for his first race win of the year in Leon.

Monster Energy DRT Kawasaki’s Darian Sanayei heads to Leon confident after his best MX2 showing in Argentina with 6-4 finishes for 5th overall. The American has spent time back stateside and with a refreshed mindset and improving results he is looking to turn heads in Mexico and grasp his first career MX2 podium.

Russian Vsevolod Brylyakov, Sanayei’s Monster Energy DRT Kawasaki teammate has shown speed and been atop practice times but has yet to put all the pieces together come race day. Brylyakov was on the Leon podium last year and with the right combination may be a dark horse this time around.

LRT KTM’s Julien Lieber has had strong performance to start the season but after issues in Patagonia he now looks to rebound for the last race before heading back to Europe.
