Red Bull KTM teammates Antonio Cairoli and Jeffrey Herlings claimed victory at Valkenswaard’s Grand Prix of the Netherlands in MX1 and MX2 respectively on Monday, 1 April.

The sun came up in Valkenswaard to host the main races of the Grand Prix of the Netherlands, which made the track being more demanding for the MXGP riders.

Cairoli was really happy for being once again on the podium even if he could not win both heats. He won moto one, however in the second moto it was teammate Ken De Dycker who broke through for the victory.

De Dycker ended on the second step of the podium after finishing second and first in today’s races, but he might have won the GP if he hadn’t crashed in the first heat while leading.

Honda World Motocross’ Evgeny Bobryshev succeeded in being on the third step of the podium this weekend after finishing second and fourth in the motos.

The fourth overall position went for Rockstar Energy Suzuki World’s Kevin Strijbos, with Honda’s Max Nagl completing the top five.

The MX2 class saw Australian Dean Ferris ruled out following qualifying, deciding to allow addition healing time after breaking his collarbone late last month.

Herlings broke one more record this weekend obtaining another overall victory winning both motos, so the Dutch rider has won all the races celebrated in Valkenswaard since 2010.

However, the home rider admitted that today’s victory has been the most difficult one because he had to start from gate 40 as he was disqualified from yesterday’s qualifying race.

The second overall position was for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jordi Tixier. The French rider took the holeshot in both heats and led the race comfortably until his teammate Herlings passed him.

The Dutch Grand Prix will be always remembered by Wilvo Nestaan JM Racing KTM’s Jake Nicholls, who obtained his maiden MXGP podium after finishing fourth and third in the races.

Rockstar Energy Suzuki Europe’s Max Anstie had a great start in the first heat and he crossed the finish line third ahead of Nicholls. Anstie finished sixth in moto two and obtained the overall fourth position of the Dutch Grand Prix.

Wilvo Nestaan JM Racing KTM’s Glenn Coldenhoff started really good the weekend winning the qualifying race, but the home rider was only able to finish fifth overall of the GP.

Fonta MX Monster Energy Yamaha’s Chiara Fontanesi won both WMX motos ahead of Australian Pfiel Kawasaki rider Meghan Rutledge and HM Plant KTM UK’s Nathalie Kane. Jessica Moore finished a fine sixth overall aboard her KTM.

The next MXGP will take place in the Italian track of Arco di Trento on 13-14 April.
