We are in Riola Sardo “Sardinia” for the 8th round of the FIM Motocross World Championship. We all know the sand track from the famous Internazionali d’Italia and now part of the MXGP calendar for the second year in a row. Our Belgian factory rider set the 15th time during time practice and rode to a 12th position in the qualifying race on saturday. Not that bad in those hot conditions with temperatures above 30 degrees and on the “Hell of sand” track.
By the start of the first race Jeremy was closed in at the first corner, what brought him in 15th position. The factory Beta rider showed a very good pace, riding simular laptimes as the top 5 and ending the race in a 12th position.
A difficult start in the second race, but “The Jerre” showed again his speed and his strong perseverance. Lap after lap he gained positions on the deep holes of Riola, making no mistakes ending in 9th position. Jeremy brings home a 9th overall in the GP and 8th in the World Championship.
