| TONI'S HAT-TRICK ! | 04.09.2011 |
|---|
Toni Cairoli is MX1 world champion for the third year running !
The Sicilian was content to run 7th as sole rival Steven Frossard held down third early on, but, no sooner had the KTM star started tp push to make sure, the Frenchman crashed and was knocked out. With the Yamaha rider out of the race Cairoli was already champion but pushed forward to cross the line third before the KTM and Red Bull troops met to greet him !
More later, but first we gotta watch Kenny wrap up MX2 !

|---|
Evgeny Bobryshev makes a surprise return to GP action this weekend after getting clearance from his doctor to ride: "Yeah, I had a check-up three days ago and the doctor gave me the all-clear to ride. I already practised once before I came here. I plan to race the last two GPs and the Nations."

|---|
Latest top GP runner to miss the remainder of the season is Gariboldi Yamaha's Harri Kullas. The Finn sustained a couple of broken bones in his left hand in a collision during a national championship round and faces a five week period of recovery. This means he will miss the final two GPs and the Nations.

| WORKS SUZUKI FOR SEEWER | 30.08.2011 |
|---|
Jeremy Seewer, currently holding down 4th place in the European 125 series after a succession of top six finishes, will be loaned Valentin Teillet's factory RMZ250F Suzuki for the Nations, when he lines up alongside Arnaud Tonus and Yves Furlato for Switzerland.
Thomas Ramsbacher of Suzuki Europe: "It is our policy at Suzuki to give our youngsters the chance to experience factory support; we did this already with Simone Zecchina at a couple of GPs when Valentin was injured, and we are pleased to offer this support to Jeremy and the Swiss team at the Nations as Valentin will not be racing for France."

| DANISH DELIGHT | 29.08.2011 |
|---|
Stefan Kjaer Olsen clinched the ADAC Youngsters Cup title with a round to go after another consistent show at Höchstädt, the track on the Czech border where David Philippaerts was injured practising earlier this month. The Danish teenager went 2-2 to win overall on the day and, with a lead of 68 points over his closest rival, is now assured of the crown for the AC Motec MG Sport by STC Yamaha team. Stefan now goes to Gaildorf next weekend seeking at least a medal in EMX2 as he trails leader Romain Febvre by 24 points and is only two away from second.

| TOMMY WEECK IN GAILDORF | 27.08.2011 |
|---|
American privateer Tommy Weeck will race alongside Dylan Ferrandis for Rockstar Bud Racing lovemytime Kawasaki at Gaildorf next weekend, but the native of Washington state, who finished 6th in a moto of the Washougal National a few weeks back, is not going to Germany for the MX2 GP as suggested in several chatrooms - he is entered for the EMX2 race, racing number 255. However there is no EMX2 round one week later at Fermo, so he presumably may be stepping up to race the big boys there !

| Max Anstie on facebook | 26.08.2011 |
|---|
"I love all the rumors and, like Bubba said not too long ago on Twitter..."I love how people think they know what is going on in my life before I even do!" The truth is ol' Max is going to be just fine. And by the way, to all you know-it-alls out there, I wouldn't be where I am without my pops, in fact, he doesn't give himself enough credit for all the help he has given to me and still does."

| GRAND PRIX IN A STADIUM | 24.08.2011 |
|---|
At least one round of the 2013 motocross world championship will be held in a stadium. FIM MX director Wolfgang Srb explained: "Youthstream and the FIM have been considering this move for a couple of years, long before the Vegas race was announced. We have to look to the future and presenting our sport to a new audience who want to watch racing from the comfort of a stadium with seats, refeshments, toilets, and so on.
"We want one race in 2013 and two in 2014. Part of the track will be within the stadium and part of it outdoors, and it will not be a pure supercross track. I have no idea yet where this will happen - that is Youthstream's job to find a venue - but it will happen."
