The SIDI Grand Prix of Città di Faenza put a full stop on the MX1 and MX2 World Championships throughout an extremely emotional event.
The 30000 home fans celebrated David Philippaerts’ MX1 World Title at the end of a hard fought Grand Prix characterized by mixed weather conditions. Max Nagl won his maiden Grand Prix courtesy of a double heat win. Ken de Dycker and Jonathan Barragan rounded off the podium. Steve Ramon and De Dycker ended second and third respectively in the MX1 Championship.
In the MX2 class it was another crowd explosion when Tyla Rattray wrapped up his maiden MX2 title at the end of the opening moto. Rattray even mounted on the GP podium in second place behind overall winner Tommy Searle. The latter ended second in the Championship with Nicolas Aubin rounding off the top three.
MX1
It was an intense day in Italy for Max Nagl and David Philippaerts; the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider took his maiden start to finish victory in heat one and went on to take another one in heat two ending with the first GP win under his belt.
On the other hand David Philippaerts of Yamaha Monster Motocross rode two strong heats and despite he could not enter the top three overall he was crowned MX1 World Champion in front of his home crowd. Philippaerts became the first ever Italian to win an MX1 Title as the last Italian to have won a title in the top class was Alex Puzar in 1990 (250cc).
After taking second in heat one Teka Suzuki WMX1’s Ken de Dycker moved up to second in the Championship but could not hold team mate Steve Ramon’s challenge in heat two as he dropped back to third behind Ramon. Though De Dycker brought home a podium courtesy of a strong recovery in heat two.
AXO KTM Silver Action’s Jonathan Barragan brought the factory bike home in third courtesy of two fourth places in the heats.
Ramon was fourth overall ahead of Philippaerts.
Sebastien Pourcel had a tough day. In heat one some green net tangled up in his back wheel and forced him off for three laps. In heat two he crashed several times.
Top five overall: 1. Maximilian Nagl (GER, KTM), 50 points; 2. Ken de Dycker (BEL, Suzuki), 38 p.; 3. Jonathan Barragan (ESP, KTM), 36 p.; 4. Steve Ramon (BEL, Suzuki), 32 p.; 5. David Philippaerts (ITA, Yamaha), 32 p.
MX1 RACE 1
Nagl dominated heat one from the start to the flag. Pourcel was following in second until a mistake forced the Frenchman off the track with green net tangling in his rear wheel. De Dycker and Philippaerts gained one position each and found themselves in second and third respectively. Previously the duo went through the pack in an impressive recovery from the bottom of the top ten. Barragan worked his way up to fourth ahead of Mackenzie as both exploited a mistake of De Reuver.
Ramon was eleventh after a crash.
