Teutschenthal wrap

Published

on

That’s a wrap! After six months of grueling travel, the 2012 FIM Motocross World Championship has drawn to a close following the final GP of the year held in Teutschenthal, Germany. The GP of Germany acted as a ‘warm up’ for the promoters, as they experimented with changes and alterations to the circuit ahead of the 2013 Motocross of Nations.

As a whole I thought the track was good; perhaps the best we have seen it in years. Although there were some complaints about it being one-lined – the racing was good and there was some soil variation. Some sections of the track had a little more topsoil than others; whilst some parts were slick, others provided a lot more traction. One thing is certain; it was technical. For instance, there were a few different options on some of the jumps, which is where most of the passes occurred.

Normally the GP of Germany at Teutschenthal takes place in the middle of the year; however for 2012 it was pushed to the end of the schedule. If you’re wondering why, it was to allow Ken Roczen the chance to compete in front of his home crowd. Of course, a rider of Roczen’s caliber is a huge draw for the crowd. Rather than mix it up with his rivals of yesteryear in the MX2 class, Roczen decided to jump up to the MX1 class for this weekend only (despite riding the 250 all year and next weekend also at the MXoN). Although there isn’t much precedent for a successful mid-season change of class – it has been done in the past. For example Antonio Cairoli (coincidentally) jumping up to the MX1 class for one race only at Donington Park in 2007, and taking the overall victory.

Whilst Roczen’s wildcard appearance wasn’t as successful as that, the German certainly gave his home crowd something to cheer about. Although prior to the event there wasn’t much to judge Roczen’s speed on a 450; he did win a round of the ADAC MX Masters (German National Championship) earlier in the year aboard a 450, beating Nagl. Therefore, to expect Roczen to win in Teutschenthal was perfectly acceptable. Immediately Roczen impressed with some of the fastest lap times in Saturday’s practice sessions; however in the races the six-time world champ, Cairoli, always seemed to have the upper hand.

Perhaps Roczen could of won moto one; he certainly appeared to have the speed to match Toni. The fact that he managed to pass Cairoli just one lap into the race indicates he was more than capable of beating the champ, however just two laps later he stalled the KTM 450 and lost quite a bit of time to the Sicilian. If not for a fall midway through moto one he more than likely would have bounced back to the runner up spot. However the crash coupled with stalling his bike left the German with too big a gap to make up on eventual runner up Desalle. But, his lap times in the middle of the moto were the fastest of the race.

Ken didn't quite have the minerals to beat Cairoli but the home fans still valued his efforts.

Roczen’s performance in moto one really indicated that he was capable of winning; however in moto two Cairoli was once again the better rider. Interestingly, in the middle of the race Ken’s lap times were once again faster than Toni’s and he did close in a little bit; however not enough to really challenge the Sicilian. Overall having Roczen back in the GP’s was nothing but good for the series; as undoubtedly a number of fans tuned in solely to see the German superstar tackle the unbeatable MX1 champ. Ken’s 3-2 for second overall certainly didn’t disappoint. For most, it was a solid indication of the speed difference between the World Championship and the USA also.

The world energy drink championships go to Red Bull!

Teutschenthal really capped off what has been a perfect year for Antonio Cairoli, perhaps the best of his career. Aside from the disaster in Sweden, 2012 has been nothing short of phenomenal for the Sicilian. His Teutschenthal win (following a double moto victory) was his seventh GP victory in succession, and his twelfth moto win in a row. Supposedly, 2012 was the deepest talent pool MX1 has seen in quite some time. However, no-one really was capable of challenging Toni for an entire year. You can see in his style that his confidence is at an all time high, for instance the way he whipped the bike shortly after he passed Max Nagl in moto one was a sign that he wasn’t afraid the German would fight back. Even with an injured finger (sustained on the Saturday) no one could beat Toni! It will be exciting to see what he can do against the Americans in Lommel this coming weekend.

Nagl looked good, very good. If he stays healthy you may well see him and Honda on the box a lot more next year.

Although the results may say differently, Max Nagl was the third best rider on the day behind Cairoli and Roczen. First off however, the announcement was made over the weekend that Max would be heading to the Honda World Motocross team next year, alongside Evgeny Bobryshev. This move has been apparent for a while and should be a good fit for both rider and team. I’m sure he would have liked to end his KTM career by beating his teammate, however in the end a first moto crash would destroy his chances of even climbing onto the overall podium. The crash was certainly in a weird place, I don’t think I have ever seen someone overshoot that corner and end up in the fence. Maybe it happened because he was so desperately trying to stay with Cairoli?

The rider that will be joining Nagl under the Honda World Motocross tent next year, Evgeny Bobryshev, had a much better day than his results indicate. Although a pair of sixths doesn’t seem like much on paper (especially for a rider that went 1-1 at this very track in 2011), the Russian injured his thumb on the Saturday. The injury was sustained on the same thumb he injured at the opening round, because of this Evgeny struggled to hold on as it was extremely swollen. All things considered sixth overall isn’t terrible, and I’m sure Evgeny and the entire team is already thinking about 2013, following what can only be described as a poor year for the them. In case you’re wondering, Rui Goncalves didn’t even attempt to race Teutschenthal due to a fractured shoulder blade suffered in Faenza two weeks ago.

Clement Desalle hasn’t been as good in recent weeks, ever since his 1-1 in Sweden he seems to have fallen further from Cairoli’s speed every week. I’m sure just two GP wins isn’t what Clement or the Rockstar Energy Suzuki team had in mind at the beginning of the year, but 2012 was still the best of Desalle’s career. Clement has never really challenged for a title over the course of an entire season. So now he knows what to expect, maybe he will come into 2013 more prepared for the challenge of dethroning Cairoli? To be fair though, he’s had a lot of niggling injuries all year and has never really been able to get on a run. A 2-4 on the day was his best result in quite a while, although a second in moto one was inherited due to problems to both German KTM riders; it was still a good day for the Belgian. At least he will be carrying some kind of momentum into Lommel for the MXoN.

These two will be going away and working harder than ever in the off season to try and dethrone King Cairoli.

Xavier Boog collected two good results after two GP’s of finishing outside of the top ten. It seems as though Boog will not be under the Factory Kawasaki tent next year (unless they open up a third spot for him, which I can’t see them doing) as it was announced on Thursday that Jeremy Van Horebeek would be taking the second spot on the team alongside Paulin. Speaking of Van Horebeek, he sat out Teutschenthal after he twisted his knee in Faenza, in an effort to save himself for the MXoN. Back to Boog, he is a solid ‘second guy’ on a team, he will always show up and post solid results in and around the top ten. Although he may not break onto the podium, he is more than capable (his results in 2011 proved that) – 9-7 was a solid way to end the season for the Frenchman.

Josh Coppins ended his GP career with a consistent eleventh overall and in doing so beat the man that will more than likely be British Champion at the end of the year, Kevin Strijbos. To be completely honest, I thought Coppins would do a little bit better in his comeback to the GP series. But to jump in mid season is extremely hard, especially after he has been riding the shorter Aussie moto’s. Still, over there (where the race length and format is mixed) Josh always seems to thrive in the thirty-minute moto’s. So his fitness is clearly not an issue. I believe there is just one more race (the MXoN) for Coppins and then he will officially be hanging up his boots.

It just wasn’t Shaun Simpson’s weekend, was it? His crash in the first turn in moto one was a sign of how his two races would go, he is certainly better than his 15-14 moto scores show. Of course, the fifteenth was following a first turn fall; but in the second moto he never seemed to really get going. In my opinion, Shaun certainly made good use of his time aboard the Monster Energy Yamaha and proved to be capable of finishing top five, even when everyone is present. In the end, Shaun fell just short of top ten in the series, finishing four points down on the absent Rui Goncalves.

He might not have got the title he so desperately sought after, but Tommy Searle ended his MX2 career the best way possible, by completely dominating the German GP. Undoubtedly, Searle was the fastest man on track in both moto’s. If you need proof of this fact, look no further than the lap times. In moto two, Searle’s fastest lap time was a whole second quicker than Herlings’. Moto one was a similar scenario; Tommy was one second quicker than second place, Zach Osborne despite admittedly tightening up. In fact, Tommy was the only MX2 rider to drop below the two-minute mark in either of the MX2 moto’s. A feat that only four MX1 riders could match; if Searle can translate that speed to the 450 class he will be a contender for the podium as soon as the first gate drops on 2013.

It was great to see Tommy end in style. No doubt Monster were happy with the look of this podium too!

As soon as I saw Elliott Banks Browne’s bike leaned up against the trackside fencing, just seconds after he was running third in the first MX2 moto; my heart dropped. I cannot believe how much bad luck and adversity EBB has had to overcome thus far this year. It looked as though all of that would be made up for, as he seemed more than capable of making the podium. Unfortunately, his KTM wasn’t quite up to the task. With a reliable bike beneath him; I would not hesitate to suggest Banks Browne would be on the GP podium at least a couple of times in 2013. As if the first moto wasn’t painful enough; a ninth in the second moto was prompted by a broken clutch lever, with twenty minutes remaining in the race. On the surface, it looks as though Elliott didn’t perform in 2012. However, if you dig past the results you will see he actually had a very good year and opened some eyes, unfortunately the results don’t reflect that.

Three Brits leading the way... we like that!

Another Brit, Jake Nicholls, was also extremely unlucky to not climb up onto the overall podium for the first time in his career. For the most part, Jake has been on the verge of breaking through and onto the podium thus far this year. In Teutschenthal, it looked as though he was finally going to get up onto the box, except he fell short once again – finishing just one point behind Arnaud Tonus in third overall. Still, as Jake himself mentioned, the goal was to bring home fourth in the championship, which he did so from that point of view – the weekend was a successful one.

4th in the World. Well done Jake Nicholls and here's to 2013.

For the Monster Energy Bike It Yamaha riders, the German GP might have been the best of the year. After the team was completely wiped out with injuries prior to the first round, their two main riders, Zach Osborne and Arnaud Tonus both climbed onto the podium alongside each other for the first time all year. Since his return, Osborne has been on the podium a number of times; however for Tonus it hasn’t been that easy. Gradually, the Swiss rider has gotten better and better with each round that passes and on a track that undoubtedly suited his style and technique – he put it up onto the podium following a sixth and third.

After a wrecked season Tonus ended up on the box at the final GP. If he remains fit he'll be on the box a lot more in 2013.

I was glad to see Zach up on the podium in what might have been his last GP ever. After a very strong four and a half years over here, in which he has established a very strong fan base, it was good to see the American up on the box! Although, it was a successful weekend for the riders, team manager Steve Dixon was rushed into hospital on Saturday following three slipped discs in his back. An operation is required, and it sounds as though Dixon will be in hospital for over a week, hopefully he will make a quick and full recovery!

Jeffrey Herlings had a very quiet weekend in Teutschenthal. Surprisingly, his Factory KTM had to be pushed back to the pits for the second time this year, which is almost unheard of under the orange tent. The DNF occurred on lap three of moto one, when the Dutchman was running fifth. If he had completed the first moto, I highly doubt he would have had an impact on the moto win; as in the second moto Searle simply left him. Despite starting ahead of his rival, Herlings didn’t really seem to give Tommy much of a challenge when he went past early in moto two. Perhaps with the title already locked up Jeffrey’s focus has already shifted to Lommel and his chance to show the world he really is the fastest sand rider? I know for most riders this is the case; as most were out practicing and testing in the deep sand last week in order to be prepared for the biggest race of the year.

Alexander Tonkov has quietly had a very successful season. Prior to this year the Russian had never really been a threat to the top ten. Although, like his teammate (Max Anstie) he has had his fair share of mechanical problems, he has always been in, or close to the top ten which is no easy feat at world championship level! It is my understanding that the Russian will return to the Gariboldi team next year. If they can get some better equipment perhaps he could claim some top five finishes next year? Teutschenthal was Tonkov’s second best GP this year, behind only Sevlievo so obviously the Russian favors the slick tracks with elevation. I’m sure a 9-11, which he garnered this past weekend, is exactly what the team expected from their second rider.

Speaking of the Gariboldi Honda team, Teutschenthal basically summed up the entire year for their number one rider, Max Anstie. Hopes were high coming into the year that Max would take the Honda 250f back to the forefront of the MX2 World Championship. Six DNF’s across the year definitely didn’t help him to achieve a result he is capable of. However, I find it weird that for the first seven GP’s, Max and the team seemed to be on track to achieve some success, but from Bastogne onwards it has been nothing short of disastrous; with just Lierop to look back on fondly. 17-15 is definitely not what you would expect from the man Herlings believes will be his toughest competition next year. However, one positive from the weekend was that it was announced Max is heading to the Rockstar Suzuki Europe team next year. That will be the fifth manufacturer he had ridden for in five years; but the bike is undoubtedly competitive and capable of helping Max get the results he deserves.

Well, the 2012 FIM Motocross World Championship has drawn to a close; it has provided us with plenty of action and controversy in the last six months. However, before we can close the book on the international Motocross season we still have the Motocross des Nations to be completed. Undoubtedly the highlight of the season; the entire Motocross world will shift their attention to Lommel, this weekend.

Michelin MX Nationals – Race Report, Rnd 2 – Monster Mountain

Full report from packed event in South Wales

Published

on

Last weekend the new Monster Mountain facility staged its first event, round two of the Michelin MX Nationals powered by Milwaukee, and what an action-packed weekend it was! With almost 300 hundred riders keen to get on the new track and a tremendous crowd for the MX Nationals, both enjoyed the two days of fast and hot motocross action.

Words: Dick Law for Michelin MX Nationals | Featured Image: Michelin MX Nationals

If you haven’t seen the images and videos on social media, Monster Mountain is a USA- styled track set on top of a Welsh mountain. With months and months of hard, back-breaking work that involved moving hundreds of tons of earth with machines the size of a small house, the Monster Mountain track was born, and the scale of the project was mind-blowing. Once you have climbed up the mountain’s side to the peak, you enter a landscape that could be easily mistaken for Pala or even the moon.

The Leatt Pro MX1s were mainly about three riders, the Crendon Fastrack Honda pairing of Conrad Mewse and Josh Gilbert and Cab Screens Crescent Yamaha rider Harri Kullas. The winner would come from one of these riders, who have dominated the home racing scene all year.

Kullas got the holeshot at the start of the first combined MX1 and MX2 pro race but was quickly passed a quarter of the way around the opening lap by Mewse and then his teammate Gilbert, who had gated third, slipped by Kullas before the end of the lap. While this happened, John Adamson (ASA United GasGas) got cross threaded in one of the deep ruts and dropped from fourth to tenth.

Adamson’s teammate Ivo Monticelli, who was making a comeback from an injury he suffered at round one of the Revo series, took full advantage of his teammate Adamson’s problems and took over his fourth place as Jason Meara (JM 10 Moto-cycle Racing Honda), Tom Grimshaw (Chambers Racing), Charlie Putnam (SC Sporthomes Husqvarna), Jamie Carpenter (Cab Screens Crescent Yamaha), and Dan Thornhill (Chambers Racing) all moved up a place at Adamson’s expense.

The leading four riders of Mewse, Gilbert, Kullas, and Monticelli stayed in the same running order to the end of the race as Meara and Grimshaw fought over fifth place. The two riders changed position many times till, on lap eight, Meara suffered a mechanical failure, leaving Grimshaw to make fifth all his own.

Adamson was on a charge after his crash and fought back to sixth at the end of the race, while Putnam came off his machine, relegating himself back to thirtieth place.

The immense new track, with its long start straights and big jumps, and even an adverse camber turn, was always going to disadvantage the smaller Apico MX2 machines over the power of the Leatt MX1 machines, with Glen McCormick (Chambers Racing) being the first of the MX2s around turn one, followed by Jamie Wainwright (WPH/SBE/Redline KTM) and Carlton Husband (Phoenix EvenStrokes Kawasaki) as race favourite Charlie Cole (Blades Bikes Kawasaki) suffering a mechanical problem that saw him at the back of the pack with a lot of work to do.

Wainwright had passed McCormick to lead the MX2s by the end of the first lap as Husband slipped back three places. But, as the race continued, Husband upped his pace and repassed six other riders on his way to tenth in the race, but first MX2 home.

McCormick put on a last-lap charge and snatched a place from the hands of Wainwright as the pair finished eleventh and thirteenth on the track but second and third in the MX2s, as for the unlucky Cole. He regrouped and fought his way back from thirtieth to finish fifteenth in the race but fourth MX2 and the last person on the lead lap.

Kullas once again got the holeshot at the start of race two, and once again, Gilbert found a way past him by the end of the lap. Behind them, it was Grimshaw, Meara, Monticelli, Mewse and Carpenter.

Grimshaw took his time in the opening laps and slipped back to sixth. Mewse slid past Monticelli on the second lap to take over third place, with Meara relegated to fifth.

While Grimshaw and Carpenter fought over sixth place, the running order of Gilbert from Kullas, Mewse, Monticelli, and Meara stayed the same till the very last lap when Mewse used the backmarkers to snatch second place from Kullas, and with it second overall for the meeting. (MX Vice was witness to the incident that cost Kullas second place, where two MX2 riders fell in a rut that Harri had already committed to, leaving the Yamaha man to haul his bike out of the massively deep inside rut as Conrad tiptoed around the outside of them, probably laughing his head off!).

On the Apico MX2 side of race two, Cole had gated tenth but had Wainwright in his wheel tracks and McCormick two places further back as they battled for the MX2 lead amongst the bigger MX1 machines.

Wainwright & Cole battle for MX2 supremacy in race two. Cole won the event, but Wainwright leads the series!

After changing the lead with Wainwright several times, Cole established himself eighth on the track but first of the MX2s. Wainwright finished in tenth place for the second MX2, with McCormick third. Unfortunately, Husband didn’t get the start he wanted and didn’t seem to get going as he finished sixth MX2, behind Joe Brooks and Charlie Heyman (Tru7 Honda).           

With three race wins and a second place, Ben Edwards won the RFX expert MX1s from race one winner and wildcard rider Josh Waterman. Jayden Ashwell (AJP Geartec Husqvarna) was third, with Jay McCrum missing a podium position.

Ashley Greedy (Darjen Contractors Gas Gas) won his first three races in the RFX MX2s, but while in the lead of his fourth and final race of the weekend, he was passed by Jimmy Margetson (AJP Geartec Husqvarna) on his way to second overall, with Mathew Bayliss (Darjen Contractors Gas Gas).

Ash Greedy had a great weekend on home territory.

Wildcard rider Scott Elderfield won three out of his four races on his way to the Motoverde amateur MX1 overall, with race four winner Sean Wainwright (Fasteddy Racing Honda) second. Josh Greedy (Darjen Contractors Kawasaki) tied in third with Luke Mellows (Forty-Four Honda).

Wildcard riders took three out of the top four places in the Motoverde amateur MX2 class as Ben Clarke, with two wins and two third places, took the overall from race two winner Raife Broadley (723 Race Bikes Gas Gas) while the winner of the last race Wal Beaney was third, just five points behind the winner.

Tallon Aspden (LA Groundwork KTM), with three wins and a second place, won the Worx clubman MX1s from Darren Manning-Coe, who was second in all four of his races as Daniel Chapman, the winner of the last race of the weekend was third as Drew Lane just missed out on the podium by two points.

Sam Ongley (Fantic) won all four Spiral GFX clubman MX2 races from Matt Tolly and Charlie West.

In the youth Fly Futures MXY2s, Billy Askew (GTCi Revo Kawasaki) won all four races and remains unbeaten this year. Behind him, Domonic Newbury (426 Motorsport KTM) and Mackenzie Marshall (DK Offroad KTM) were separated by just three points as they finished the weekend in second and third overall.

Billy Askew (441) already has his nose in front of Domonic Newbury (404), Mackenzie Marshall (555) and Jak Taylor (22, WM Tatchell Husqvarna).

Reece Jones (SJP Moto Husqvarna) was third in his first race of the weekend, but from then on won the other three for first overall in the Fly MXY125s. Jake Walker (Mr T Racing KTM), who didn’t finish out of the top four all weekend, was second, with a race-three low score pushing Tyla Hooley (Fantic) down to third.

Josh Vail (SJP Moto Husqvarna), with two race wins, a second and a third place, took the overall win in the Syntol Big Wheel 85s with Jamie Keith (MBR X&P KTM), who didn’t finish out of the top three all weekend, second and Charlie Richmond third.

Josh Vail took the overall win in the Syntol Supermini Big Wheel class

With a couple of wins and two-second places, Joel Winstanley-Dawson (Techsource Racing KTM) won the Syntol small wheel 85s from race one winner Lucas Lee (Husqvarna) and Ollie Truman.
