SURPRISE, SURPRISE
... rule change @ 31 hours notice | 18.05.2013 |
|---|
Just 31 hours before the world elite line up for the last Superfinal of 2013 officials sprang the latest shock move at the Saturday morning riders' meeting - gate choice at Beto Carrero will be by alternating class rather than giving the MX2 boys first choice - and a chance - as in Qatar and Thailand ! "Oh great," said MX2 world number three Glenn Coldenhoff, "the only advantage we have and they take that away too."

CONSISTENCY PAYS OFF FOR BARRAGAN
... but Leok grabs the red plate
| 12.05.2013 |
|---|
Jonathan Barragan took top prize at the Milton Park Maxxis but it was double winner Tanel Leok who was handed the MX1 red plate despite a technical DNF three laps from the end of race three. Sensations in both classes as Shane Carless and returnee Stephen Clarke each ended the day on the podium, while EBB extended his advantage in MX2 despite a last moto reverse at the hands of Steven Lenoir.

| THE KING GOES MARCHING ON | 05.05.2013 |
|---|
Apparantly Nederland crowned a new monarch last week, but the only Dutch king who gets any street cred round these parts is The Bullit. Still unbeaten Jeffrey Herlings went marching on in MX2 at Agueda today, but Gautier Paulin has got Toni Cairoli and Clement Desalle rattled in MX1. 2 C a selection of images from the last GP in Europe for a month go to the Gallery or click the direct link http://www.mx-pure.com/galleries/gallery-20130505230700-1.htm

| FULL PADDOCK IN AGUEDA | 25.04.2013 |
|---|
The paddock is going to be bursting to the seams in Agueda next weekend as no less than 94 EMX2 and 60 EMX125 riders have entered to swell the GP ranks at the Portuguese GP. And the numbers mean a long day with non-stop action on Saturday as the youngsters (and Mike Kras LOL) attempt to qualify for the single moto points-scoring race on the Sunday programme.

| ALL SYSTEMS GO ! | 18.04.2013 |
|---|
There was mild panic amongst the crew and teams at the start of the week as industrial action on the Ancona-Igoumenitsa ferry crossing threatened to cut off the safest route from Italy to Bulgaria, but with Bari open for business and Minoan Lines full steam ahead, the first team trucks and the YS logistics crew pulled into the Sevlievo paddock as darkness fell last night. After a cold night the hard-working YS crew was already up at first light to erect the office blocks, restaurant and pit lane, and the sun is shining. Suzuki took the risk to travel through Serbia, but were last seen already on the Bulgarian side of the frontier, while the rest of the teams have now found a boat crossing to Greece. Let's go, bro !

| WILD CARD WINNERS | 07.04.2013 |
|---|
Tommy Searle and Jake Nicholls were wild card winners at the Lyng round of the Maxxis, but runners-up Tanel Leok, who headed Searle in the first moto and chased him throughout the other two, and Elliott Banks-Browne will go to Milton Park next month in charge of their respective series. After his sparkling display on a 450 last week at Valkenswaard Nathan Watson was the sensation of MX2, while Matiss Karro returned with a podium as STR teammate Jonathan Barragan had a nightmare day.

| ROMAIN FEBVRE OUT FOR 2 MONTHS | 05.04.2013 |
|---|
Romain Febvre, sensation of the 2013 GP season with podiums at each of the overseas MX2 GPs in Qatar and Thailand, will be out of action for two months and thus miss Italy, Bulgaria, Portugal and the upcoming trip to Brazil and Mexico after breaking a calf bone in a trainings crash at Genk yesterday. The 21 year Frenchman was scheduled to undergo surgery today.

| Arnaud Tonus NOT in Valkenswaard after all | 28.03.2013 |
|---|
Arnaud Tonus is OUT of the Dutch GP ! Having signalled last week his intention to return to racing @ Valkenswaard, the 22 year old CLS Kawasaki MX2 team leader has been forced to bury his hopes as he is still suffering intense pain in the leg he broke at the Nations last September. He will seek further medical advice next week but his bike will be raced by Jordan Lacan this weekend.

THE ITALIAN STALLION
... Shaun Simpson and TM | 27.03.2013 |
|---|
Shaun Simpson has seen both sides of the coin in his first two GP outings as sole MX1 factory runner for TM; a storming 8th under the lights in Qatar and a series of gut-wrenching misfortune in Thailand which wiped out the efforts of 23 passes in 35 minutes. mx-pure.com chatted to the 25 year old Scot on the eve of the European GP opener @ Valkenswaard to find out how he is settling down to his new ride against the might of the Big Five.

| NICO THE CONQEROR | 25.03.2013 |
|---|
Nico Aubin was quick to respond when the Canada Heights Maxxis was cancelled midweek; the Buildbase Honda Frenchie stayed home in Normandy and swept to victory in the opening round of the national Elite championship at Romagne. Nico had to be satisfied with third behind Cedric Soubeyras and Milko Potisek in the MX1 moto but turned the tables in the Superfinal to clinch the overall. MX2 winner Valentin Teillet dnf'd the Superfinal and handed the series lead to Bud Racing junior Benoit Paturel, racing a Husky this year. Results @ "More"
