| HERLINGS AND CAIROLI TOP QUALI IN BRAZIL | 19.05.2012 |
|---|
Jeffrey Herlings (MX2) and Toni Cairoli (MX1) start from pole in the Brazilian GP after each of KTM's series leaders won their respective qualifying races from the gate. Herlings and Tommy Searle rounded the first turn side-by-side in MX2 but the Dutch teenager had the inside at turn two and sprinted clear at a second a lap. Jake Nicholls shrugged off sickness for 6th with Max Anstie battling out of the pack for 9th. Cairoli led MX1 throughout, Gautier Paulin chasing the Sicilian home despite running out of track on lap two.

"I COME HERE WITH AN OPEN MIND
.... but this may not happen again !"
| 17.05.2012 |
|---|
FIM motocross chairman Wolfgang Srb landed in Brazil this morning and went straight to the Beto Carrero track which will host this weekend's fifth round of the MX1/MX2 world series. But inevitably his thoughts were with the events of last Saturday at Guadalajara in Mexico when the vast majority of regular GP riders declined to race the qualification races. Rumours have been circulating the globe of a draconian €3000 fine for each of the strike participants, but the Austrian refuted this categorically: "Absolutely untrue. I want to hear from all sides on what happened and why. I come here with an open mind .. but this may not happen again !"

ORANGE RULE IN MEXICO
... but DP19 gives Yamaha a boost | 13.05.2012 |
|---|
Toni Cairoli and Jeffrey Herlings gave KTM a double win in Mexico on a rugged track they eventually agreed was good after all, but the man with the biggest grin at the end of the day was David Philippaerts as the 2008 champion finally gave Yamaha a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel by clinching vctory in the second MX1 thriller after the day started so badly for them with injuries to Shaun Simpson, Michael Leib and Steven Frossard.

| A SAD DAY IN MEXICO | 13.05.2012 |
|---|
The opening day of the Mexican GP ended in chaos as just two of the regular GP contingent - Michael Leib and Max Anstie - went to the start line of the two qualifying races together with 19 "locals" after a confict over track conditions. The American was forthright in defending his decision to ride - and win: "Steve Dixon gave me the chance, and this is motocross. I think they (the riders who did not start) had a good point, but we flew here to race !"

| BETO CARRERO | 06.05.2012 |
|---|
Oscar Piva has been kind enough to send us some photos of the track to be used for the Brazilian GP at the Beto Carrero theme park in a fortnight. Oscar describes the track as wide with bug jumps and a supercross atmosphere because of the arena created by grandstands. The ground is grippy with give in the turf unless the weather gets hot and compact the turf. But there again May = November weather in the southern hemisphere and the place is outside the tropics so current temperatures are 16-24 degrees C.

| LAYING DOWN THE LAW | 03.05.2012 |
|---|
The weather put an end to most lad's hopes of a race in the UK last weekend, but Jamie Law crossed the border from Cumbria to slay the tartan army in round two of their national series, moved at the last minute to Leuchars. The 25 year old from Cockermouth took his D3 Racing KTM to clearcut victories in all three MX1 motos, whilst Ross Rutherford made a statement in defence of his title by clinching second overall to the invader. Bryan MacKenzie took MX2 honours, though not before Ryan Livingstone had given him a race. Round three of the SACU series is at Lochgilphead on June 2/3. 2 C the Leuchars dirt fly check out Mikey Rutherford's vid @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PqodSHDt9E

CP377 & HERLINGS WIN
... but Michael Leib is the happiest guy on the podium
| 29.04.2012 |
|---|
In a day of hectic day of racing with crashes aplenty on the full-bore Italian hillside track, Christophe Pourcel and Jeffry Herlings took the wins, but the sensation was the podium for Michael Leib on Steve Dixon's Monster Bike It Cosworth Yamaha; the Californian actuallyx led the second moto by 20 seconds at one point ! More later, but the results are below.

| AT THE DOUBLE | 28.04.2012 |
|---|
It was Kawasaki all the way again in qualification for the Italian GP at Fermo. Tommy Searle and Joel Roelants went 1-2 for Floride Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki in MX2 with only Jeffrey Herlings even close, while Gautier Paulin and Christophe Pourcel finished a devastating half minute in front in MX1 ... and they didn't even look as though they were hurried !
