Excerpt: Antonio Cairoli

Slight palm issue for #222.

Published

on

Antonio Cairoli raced for the first time this year earlier today, as he tackled the hard-pack circuit of Cavallara that hosted round four of the Italian Prestige series. Cairoli won the first moto, with a slight advantage of 0.924 over Alessandro Lupino, and then did not even start the second moto. That piqued the interest of race fans across the globe and now the reason has been revealed. Thankfully, it is nothing too serious. It is far from ideal though.

“Great experience at the Italian Prestige. Shame a small “home” accident (palm injury) on Friday forced me not to force more and even skip race two to not make it worse in view of the world next week. See you next time @FXAction.”

The 2021 FIM Motocross World Championship is set to begin in less than seven days; the Grand Prix of Russia will kick off the 20-round series. Cairoli finished third in the premier-class standings last year, 121 points down on the eventual champion and 19 points behind Jeremy Seewer in the runner-up spot.

The MX2 class is full of young and motivated riders and Lucas and Sacha Coenen will join them for Lierop. These talented twins regularly impressed in the MX2 World Championship last year and Lucas won his first Grand Prix in Indonesia at the age of sixteen.

A fifth place was his share in the final standings and he certainly wants to improve on that this year. Sacha also regularly showed that he has the speed to compete at the front. Highlights were his second place in the qualifying heat in Finland and top five finishes in the Czech Republic and Sweden.

In the deep sand of Lierop, the Coenen brothers will compete against riders like Kay de Wolf, Cas Valk, Hakon Osterhagen, Max Werner, Scott Smulders, Bradley Mesters, Hakon Fredriksen, Oriol Oliver and others.

Also in the 500 class we get fireworks with the participation of Jeffrey Herlings, Jago Geerts, Pauls Jonass, Calvin Vlaanderen, Brent van Doninck and others.

The weather forecast looks good, so the Dutch MX Season Opener in Lierop has all the ingredients to see a great day of racing.
