MANTOVA (ITALY), 11 April 2010 – Taking victory at the Grand Prix of Lombardia, Antonio Cairoli wrote a new page in Motocross history as he collected the maiden Grand Prix win of a 350cc machine in the likes of the KTM 350 SX-F. Clement Desalle and Max Nagl completed the MX1 podium.

Marvin Musquin took his fourth consecutive heat win to win the Grand Prix from Ken Roczen and Jeffrey Herlings.

Mats Nilsson dominated round one of the FIM Veterans’ World Cup by winning both heats. Hendrickx and Lheriteau completed the podium.

The maiden edition of the EMX 125cc European series kicked off at Mantova and saw the victory of French Jordi Tixier.
 
MX1
 
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing MX1’s Cairoli walked away from Mantova with his first GP win of the season and with the MX1 red plate which he snatched from team mate Nagl, winner in Bulgaria last weekend. Cairoli’s success marked the first ever triumph in a Motocross GP of a 350cc bike in the likes of the KTM 350 SX-F. The Italian recovered to second in moto one after a bad start but rode an impressive final heat, dominating from the start to the flag.
Rockstar Teka Suzuki World MX1’s Desalle took victory in the opening heat which he started leading after previous leader Philippaerts made a mistake and crashed. In the second moto instead he had to recover from the bottom of the top ten to a final fourth to secure the podium.

Third man on the rostrum was Red Bull KTM Factory Racing MX1’s Nagl who dropped down to second in the Championship. The German ended third twice in the heats.

Yamaha Monster Energy Ricci’s De Dycker ended fourth overall ahead of a surprising Boog of Kawasaki Racing. The French MX1 debutant even took the holeshot in the second race.

Home rider Philippaerts ended a bitter eight. He was second in heat two but a penalty in the first heat –where he crashed and broke his exhaust pipe- saw him drop down to 19th.
