Seewer & Coldenhoff Tie Fifth in Teutschenthal

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

An encouraging day at the 11th round of the #fimmotocrossworldchampionship in #Teutschenthal, #Germany, sees Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP's Jeremy Seewer and #glenncoldenhoff tie on points for fifth overall. Ben Watson finished the German Grand Prix 11th, narrowly missing the top-10 by a mere 2-points.

The speed and competitiveness of the premier class riders is exceptionally high, making passing incredibly difficult, particularly when the lap-times of the riders are close. Coldenhoff started inside the top-10 and quickly passed Brian Bogers to steal seventh position, where he eventually finished.  

Showing positive signs of progress in terms of his health, Seewer put in a valiant ride from 16th place to finish hot on the heels of his teammate, Coldenhoff, in eighth. 

Meanwhile, Watson finished 13th after going off the track while battling with fellow rookie Thomas Olsen. 

A determined start to the second and final race of the weekend saw the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory trio power their YZ450FMs to much better starts. Seewer was inside the top-three on the exit of turn-one but was quickly shuffled back to sixth after making a small mistake that was caused by another rider cutting his line on the opening lap. 

Coldenhoff tweaked his suspension settings ahead of race two and instantly felt better out on the rough and rutty Talkessel circuit. The Dutchman capitalized on Seewer’s error to steal third position but lost it to the red plate holder Jeffrey Herlings on lap-7. 

With two laps to go, Coldenhoff ran into the back of a fallen rider and lost one more position to Pauls Jonass. Fortunately, the Dutchman didn’t crash in the incident and was able to battle with Seewer for the final place inside the top-five. While the duel between the teammates was epic, it was Seewer that nabbed the fifth position on the final lap.
