Double victory for Pirelli at the Grand Prix of Trentino at Pietramurata for the fourth round of the 2018 FIM Motocross World Championship
Jeffrey Herlings wins in MXGP and owns the red plate once more. Jorge Prado grabs the overall in MX2. Bad luck for Pauls Jonass in 5th who remains firmly in command of the championship standing
Pietramurata (Italy), 9 April 2018 – The 'Al Ciclamino' circuit in Pietramurata hosted the fourth round of the 2018 FIM Motocross World Championship, the Grand Prix of Trentino. On the hard and slippery soil, Pirelli riders were able to count on the SCORPION™ MX32™ Mid Soft front and rear; the Italian tyres dominated Saturday's qualification and all the races on Sunday.In the fantastic natural setting of the Trentino mountains, a large gathering of public came to watch the latest challenge between Antonio Cairoli and Jeffrey Herlings in MXGP class. On this occasion the Dutchman was the fastest. He won both races and moved to first place in the championship. Cairoli finished third overall despite a small technical problem that slowed him down in the first laps of race 1. There were good results also for Romain Febvre in fourth and Glenn Coldenhoff in fifth.
Jorge Prado won the MX2 overall breaking Pauls Jonass’s hegemony who had dominated the first three grand prix of the season. The Spaniard won the first heat and finished runner-up, behind Thomas Covington, in the second one. It was an excellent performance by the American who classified second overall. Jonass, despite not having the best starts, finished in fifth place and keeps the championship lead with 28 points ahead of Prado.
In just seven days the riders will contest the “Grand Prix of Portugal” at the circuit of Agueda.
