It was the fist time that Riola Sardo was the host for the official races of the FIM Motocross World Championship. We all know the deep sandy track from the famous pre season races and winter training/testing. Riola Sardo is located in the west of Sardinia close to the beautiful seaside.
The 10th round of the FIM Motocross World Championship is a mxgp to forget fast. The beautiful track at Riola Sardo soon turned rough due to its sandy nature, also the high temperatures made it a challenge for riders but also for the bikes. Jerre didn’t found the good pace in time practice to set a good time, finishig 24th . In race 1 “The Jerre” took a decent start and after building up a good pace he could gain some positions. But in lap 8 Jeremy had a bad crash (luckily without inury) and was forced to stop the race. Jeremy started the second race but after a few laps the pain caused by the fall in race 1 forced him to stop. Now we have a two weeks break before we head to Germany for the 11th round of the FIM Motocross World Championship, we gonna use this two weeks for testing and improve the new Beta RX 450 motor.
