I helgen kördes den första motocross VM-tävlingen i Matterley Basin, England och den amerikanska Supercrossen kördes i Arlington, Texas. Klicka för att läsa vidare!
Bilden – Den stenhård fajten mellan Prado och Gajser var nära att slutat illa!
Utan motstånd från Jeffery Herlings och Romain Febvre, som båda är skadade och från Tony Cairoli som slutat, blev det ändock en tuff match för Tim Gajser att vinna första VM-tävlingen. Schweizaren Jeremy Seewer ledde till sista varvet i första heatet då han vurpade och Prado vann andra heatet efter en tuff kamp med Gajser genom hela heatet.
Slutställningen efter första VM-tävlingen 2022.
1 – Tim Gajser Honda
2 – Jorge Prado
3 – Jeremy Seewer
I 250-klassen segrade överraskande tysken Simon Laengenfelder på GasGas före favoriten Tom Vialle.
Supercrossen i Texas.
Den vanns av Yamaha föraren Eli Tomac före Jason Andersson. Båda dessa förare är för tillfället en klass bättre än de övriga i fältet.
I 250-klassen var det som vanligt stenhård kubbning mellan förarna där ingen vill ge sig. Flera otäcka vurpor hände, speciellt mellan de två favoriterna Jett Lawrence och Austin Forkner som krokade ihop i målhoppet. Se bilderna nedan! Lawrence klarade sig utan skador, däremot befaras att Forkner har en axelskada.
Skadorna blir fler och fler. För det första så satsar förarna mer än tidigare – ära och pengar hägrar – men är det vettigt att bygga stadium banorna så svåra att det vecka efter vecka blir fler och fler förare på skadelistan! Kolla listan av skadade förare nedan!
