FEBVREFEVER For some if was a nightmare, for others para-dise. I have to admit, I love the Grand Prix’s inQatar and Thailand, for me the perfect start tothe season with not only great racing, but alsoreally exciting cultures. Of course for the ridersit’s all business. When Romain Febvre nishedthe opening moto of the Grand Prix of Thailandmany gured the defending MXGP championwouldn’t be in any state to race for the overallwin. His looked drained and completely out ofenergy.

Some of his competition heardabout his condition and guredthe GP was theirs for the taking.As it turned out the Frenchmanwas foxing, and he had morethan enough to take his 10th Grand Prix victory.

After two rounds of the FIM Mo-

tocross World Championships itis defending champion RomainFebvre who still stands above hisrivals. His golden season of 2015where he won the MXGP champi-onship and dominated the MXoNwith 1-1 scores continues into2016, and it might take a mas-sive eort from the legendaryAntonio Cairoli from stoppingFebvre remain as the man inMXGP.

Febvre has shown the samespeed as in 2015 and his racesmarts are just something towatch. His Thailand tale was oneof being smart, but also racinghard.

“I was happy to win the rstmoto, and the second was eas-ier, because after the secondcorner I was in the lead, and I

could make a good gap, and ridesafely to the nish. In the rstmoto I had a really long battlewith Tony Cairoli, and you getthe stones and the dust in yourface, and here it’s really dicultto pass. I was frustrated becauseI couldn’t pass him, and evenwhen I did I had to slow down abit and take a break, because Iwas really tired. I’m really hap-py to take the red plate, but

you know it’s still a really longseason ahead. It’s really niceto have it, but there are still 16rounds to go.”

MX2 world champion Tim Gajserhas been the surprise packet ofthe 2016 season and what weare seeing is something of beau-ty from the HRC support rider.

“I think now the toughest race

of the year is behind us and I’mreally happy with our weekend.In the second moto I didn’t havethe best start because Toni stalledin the corner in front of me and Ialmost hit his bike, but to comeback to nish fth was still good.I’m really pleased with a secondpodium and I want to thank allthe guys on the team and at HRCbecause the bike is just amaz-ing, and to my Dad because weworked so hard together over thewinter and now all that work ispaying o. It’s been a good week-end. Not quite like Qatar, but Iwas feeling good and happy onthe bike. It’s another good resultand two races and two podiums isa great way to start the season.”

Ben Townley looked very closeto making his rst GP podium innearly 10 years when he won theSaturday qualication race, butthen blew it with a crash on theSunday.

“I blew it. I made a mistake thatcaught me out of the blue. It wason the last roller and I was in thewrong gear. I was caught out byhow slick it was and got ejected.

I was up ready to salvage some-thing but the radiator was dam-aged and I was lucky to make itback to the pits. In the secondmoto obviously the result wasmuch better but it was tough.Someone jumped the gate besideme so I was late o the line. Istarted in sixth and worked myway up; I think I had a bit morespark than the other boys. In theend I gave everything I had and I

had to talk myself through to theend. It was a mission. Overall I’mnot concerned about the podiumbut the 18 points that I threwaway. It’s really disappointing.We are still working on the bikequite a lot, and have made prog-ress every session since startingin Qatar, but there is still work todo on the engine and suspensionespecially. Onto the next one.”

UNBEATABLE Story Geo Meyer images Ray Archer

Since the start of the 2016 season Jerey Herlings is yet to be beaten by anMX2 rider, and have beaten just about every single MXGP rider he has faced.

He won the Hawkstone Park International, the Valence International, the open-ng round of the Dutch championship and the opening round of the Belgian450cc championship. He has also won two GPs in Qatar and Thailand, andwhat is scary he has mentioned he isn’t even 100%. He heads into next week-end’s Grand Prix at Valkenswaard going for his 50th GP win, and his seventh


27/110


28/110

consecutive victory in arow at the Valkenswaardcircuit. No rider in the historyof the sport has won a GP atthe same circuit seven times ina row.

Motocross Illustrated: Youlooked so strong in Thailand.Where are you in being at100%?

Herlings: I think it will takesome time, I am maybe 80%of 90%. I know when I am100% I can match the MXGPlap times. Now I am one sec-ond or two seconds o them.I match them sometimes, butI still need to improve a bit.Main thing is to stay healthy all

year and focus on each round.

Motocross Illustrated: How didthe races feel?

Herlings: I got some mixedfeeling, I nearly crashed again,and while I felt it wasn’t myfault, it shouldn’t happen. I gottwo holeshots and I felt real-ly strong. Is it a shame Dylanis out, but for the rest of my

day it was ok? I am lookingforward to going to Valken-swaard.

Motocross Illustrated: Whathappened when you nearlycrashed in Thailand?

Herlings: I went fast over thewaves and on the face of the jump the suspension bottomedout and I nearly went over thebars. It wasn’t my fault, the

bike is super-fast, but we needto make some improvements.I didn’t have much testingand in the winter you test onat tracks and on a track likein Thailand you nd out somethings. The other brands arenot sleeping, so we need tokeep working.

Motocross Illustrated: Howtough are races like that, with

the heat and the humidity?

Herlings: It is tough on thebody, because you have totravel a lot. In America youhave to also travel a lot, butit’s the same language, samefood, same roads, same ev-erything. We get dierent

food, dierent language, total-ly dierent. Thailand is reallytough, because you have to becareful with the food and stu,and you have to be carefulwith the water, so it’s hard foryour body. We are athletes andit is our job. If it’s too hard,then we need to stop doingor, go look for a job, or workin a factory, so I am not com-plaining. It’s more fun for a GP

in Holland, but it’s the MXGPworld championship, so it’s our job to travel around the world.

Motocross Illustrated: The winin Qatar was expected wasn’tit?

Herlings: We had a good win-ter. Last year when I won Ididn’t expect to win, but thisyear I need to be winning. I

am not disappointed. I thinkthe second moto I showedwhat I am capable of, the restof the weekend I have beenstruggling. There was pressurecoming back and I haven’traced a GP for six months andhaven’t won a GP in nearly ayear.

Motocross Illustrated: All yourattention goes to Valken-swaard now doesn’t it?

Herlings: With ValkenswaardI haven’t lost a moto since2010, so six GP wins, and 12moto wins. One day I will losethere, it has to happen, I can’tgo undefeated forever, I don’tknow when it will happen. Itwould be amazing to get the50th win in Valkenswaard, andit’s nice to talk about it, but

31/110



32/110


33/110

let’s see what happens.

Motocross Illustrated: SevenGP wins in a row at the samecircuit. I know De Coster won abunch in a row at Namur, six Ithink, but not sure anyone hasever won seven in a row. Do youknow if anyone has done that?

Herlings: Many things, I ew

home on Sunday morning, washome on Sunday at 1pm, so Ican spend four days at homeriding, while I can do my normafood, sleep in my normal bedand that’s best for me. I can’trun, and that is all I could dowhile in Thailand. It was bestfor me to go home and come toThailand on Thursday t.

Motocross Illustrated: Watch-

ing Tim (Gajser) win the MXGPoverall, do you think about whatwas possible if you were on the450 machine? Seriously, I saidto somebody, if Herlings movedup you would think he wouldsmash everyone.

Herlings: I didn’t expect himto win, but I knew he would begood. I saw him riding a 450in Germany and he’s fast. The

450 Honda is a strong bike andmy personal opinion is the 250Honda isn’t that great in EuropeI thought he could be a top veguy, but I didn’t think he wouldwin, happy for him though, be-cause I like him and I think hehas a lot of talent and he workshard.

Motocross Illustrated: Febvreand Gajser, are both guys you

beat easily on the smaller bike.You have to have one eye on theMXGP class or not?

Herlings: If I look at the results,it’s a little frustrating, becauseI beat Febvre every weekend,same with Gajser, so to seethose guys winning, they are inthe main class and winning. Iwould love to be there, but afterall my injuries I didn’t want tomove up just yet. As I men-tioned in the pre-season, I didn’


34/110


35/110

even know when I would beable to ride the bike again,and that isn’t the rightpreparation for the top classI can get away with it in theMX2 class, but not in theMXGP class. It turned out Igot on the bike quicker thanexpected, but to win MXGPyou need the perfect winter.

Motocross Illustrated: Idoubt you are scared of theMXGP guys.

Herlings: Many people thinkI am scared of them, butthat isn’t the issue. They callme a sandbagger or what-ever but you know manypeople forget where I came

from and I wish they wouldrespect my decision. I nev-er got a chance to race allthe top 450 guys, in thepre-season I beat a lot ofthem on a lights bike, andobviously with my weightthe 450 bike would be a lotbetter for me. We will seewhat happens when I moveup.

Motocross Illustrated: 50wins in Valkenswaard, whata great place to do that.

Herlings: It’s half way to mygoal. Obviously winning 10world titles will be dicult, Imessed up two with injuries,and becoming MXGP is pos-sible, but winning 10 will bedicult. When Stefan wasracing he only had 12 GPsa season and not so manyoverseas and the season istwo or three months longer,so for me to race until I am35 is almost impossible, sothe goal is to get to 101 GPwins and that is possible.Obviously getting to 50 willbe a big deal and only fourriders have done that, sohopefully I can be numberve.

SHOOTINGFOR MXGP Story Geo Meyer images Bavo Swijgers

Max Anstie took victory last weekend in the MX2 class atthe opening round of the Maxxis British Motocross Cham-pionship. The 22-year-old knows that his nal year inthe MX2 class should be a good one and as he learns theHusqvarna machine his results continue to improve. Wecaught up with Anstie and asked him about his win lastweekend, and also the exciting future with Husqvarna. Amove that will see him race at least two years in the MXGPclass with them.


44/110


45/110

Motocross Illustrated: Youhave probably lived and racedin more countries than justabout any other riders. Do youstill feel British when back athome?

Anstie: I do feel British, butI have been in Belgium for a

couple of weeks and it was niceto get back home. I do like rac-ing the British championship,an if it was up to me I woulddo the British and the GP’s, butI need to do the Dutch rounds.It’s nice being in front of thehome crowd and I have friendsat the British races, while inHolland it’s a little bit dierent.Obviously I have raced justabout everywhere from the

Dutch, the Italian, the German,the American, and more, butI do like being back home andracing.

Motocross Illustrated: What isthe plan for Valkenswaard?

Anstie: You know I just wantto race my laps and do myown thing. I need more timeon the bike. Obviously because

of my crash at the des nationsI didn’t get much time on thenew bike and we were limitedto preparing. I mean I did acouple of the warm-up races,but I didn’t have my speed.Still going to Qatar and Thai-land my intensity wasn’t whatit should have been. I think Ihave done half the hours onthe bike as the other guys.

Motocross Illustrated: Whendo you think we will see you at100%?

Anstie: It is a long season andI know I will be strong. My goalwas to pick it up around thethird, fourth or fth rounds. Iknew at the end of last seasonI was fast, but it isn’t easy todo that when you haven’t gotthe preparation you need. I


46/110


47/110

feel with the new team there isa lot of potential there. What wecan show will be much better, weare still good and solid, but therst two rounds this year weremuch better than last year. Lastyear I didn’t score any points inthe opening two rounds. I was atthe doctor trying to put my bodyback together after Qatar.

Anstie: We will have to wait andsee. You know I don’t really lookat him; I am busy with myself. Iam sure he has a good group ofguys around him and that is whatI am trying to create. I am hap-py I have put myself in a positionthat I will be with the Husqvarnafactory team for three years. Thisyear on the MX2 class and 2017

and 2018 in the MXGP class. Iam trying to get the right peoplearound me to create that perfectsituation. I feel the move I havemade is really good for me. Look-ing at those guys who moved tothe MXGP class, they have goodpeople around them.

Motocross Illustrated: You mustbe excited to move up, becausewith your style you should do

pretty well?

Anstie: I will do my thing and Iam excited to stay for the samebrand for three years. I havebeen a pro since I was 16 andthis is my seventh year in theMX2 class. Every year I havechanged bike and pretty muchchanged teams. I was with theDixon team for two years, but wewent from Yamaha to Kawasaki.

You have to always learn the newgroup and in the long run I meta lot of people and rode a lot ofbikes, but you need stability andwhen you are lining up on a newbike you need to see where youare at. You are changing settingsand stu all the time. I will be onthe same bike and while it willmove to the 450, I think this willbe a big advantage for me.

STILL WINNERS The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team once again captured two podiumnishes on Saturday for round eleven of the AMA 450SX Championship inDetroit, Michigan. After racing to what appeared to be his sixth victory of

the season, Ryan Dungey was penalized two positions in the Main Event fora jumping infraction during a Red Cross ag. As a result, Dungey movedtwo positions down to third place, while his teammate, Marvin Musquin,moved up one position to second place. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing TeamManager, Roger DeCoster commented, “We were penalized two positionsper the rulebook but the problem is that Ryan’s line was on the outside andhis line of sight could not see the agger who was on the inside holding theRed Cross ag at waist height. There were the yellow lights ashing, whichmeans to use caution, and Ryan could see there was no bike or rider on thetrack and jumped as he didn’t see the ag. After Ryan


55/110


56/110

passed, the agger stepped fur-ther out onto the track.”

DeCoster added, “For the futurewe will push them to have theRed Cross aggers wave moreaggressively to be clearly seen.It’s a shame that Ryan was penal-ized for something that he gainednothing from in the race.”

In the day’s timed qualifyingsessions, it was Marvin Musquinwho secured the fastest qualifyingtime of the day on his KTM 450SX-F FACTORY EDITION, while histeammate Ryan Dungey qualiedfth. In 450SX Heat 2, Dungeygot o to a great start, where heled the heat race from start tonish. Meanwhile, Musquin expe-rienced a big crash that ultimatelyended his race early.

Musquin quickly bounced back,leading all ve laps of the 450SXSemi 1 to capture the victory anda transfer position to the MainEvent.

In the 450SX Main Event, the RedBull KTM factory teammates shoto the start together but it wasDungey who claimed the ocialholeshot. Musquin passed Dungey

to take the lead on the openinglap but it wasn’t long before thereigning champion reclaimed thefront position coming out of thewhoop-section.

Dungey led a hard-chargingMusquin for nearly the entirerace, as Musquin applied pressurealong the way. However, with onlytwo laps to go Musquin slid outwhile running in the second place

position, which allowed JasonAnderson to move past. Musquinquickly remounted to nish therace in third.

“I struggled a little bit in thewhoops tonight but other thanthat I was happy with how I wasriding until that one mistake nearthe end,” Musquin said. “It’s abummer to nish in third but Iknow it’s good in the bigger pic-ture to be on the podium everyweekend.”

Te Other RussianInterview Geo Meyer images Massimo ZanzaniAlexandr Tonkov made the move to the Standing Construct Yamaha Yama-lube team in 2016, and it’s a decision he doesn’t regret. The Russian riderwho nished with 5-7 results in the opening round of the MX2 champion-ship, held in Qatar and backed it up with a podium nish in Thailand. Don’tbe surprised to see Tonkov on the podium more often in the near future.

With a (for him) better feel on the bike, and a year of experience the Rus-sian rider will enjoy a strong season, if he can stay away from injury.

Motocross Illustrated: Thailandwas a good one of you. How didit feel?

Tonkov: I am really proud ofthis rst podium of the year, andI hope it won’t be our last. I hada pretty good start, but then Imade a small mistake and ood-

ed my bike. After that I did ev-erything I could to catch up, andI had no idea even what positionI was in, I just tried to race allthe way to the nish. I don’treally take the heat very well,and it was even hotter today,my head was spinning at theend. But motocross is the samefor everybody. I have to thankWilvo Standing Construct Yama-ha team for their great work to

help me this weekend, and alsomy brother who is my trainingmechanic, and we worked allwinter, so it is nice when hardwork pays o.

Motocross Illustrated: Last yearwasn’t a great year for you wasit?

Tonkov: I mean it was goinggood, I was consistent until Ga-

jser landed on me and I landedon a mental post and my shoul-der went out and I had surgeryand I was out for four or vemonths. Now we changed theteam. I am really happy withthe change, my mechanic iswith me and also other peopleI know. My brother is workingwith me. I was so excited tostart the season. Overall I feelgreat and the bike is awesome.

Motocross Illustrated: How isthe change from Husky to Ya-maha?

Tonkov: You know the bike isgreat from the rst day, weworked on some power thingsand suspension, but overall thebike was pretty good for me.I know what I was doing. TheHusqvarna was great, but I


86/110

couldn’t nd myself on thatbike. I just never really gotcomfortable, and I struggledwith the front end. If you seemost of my crashes in thelast couple of years, it wasalways the front end wash-ing out. Little mistakes and Ineeded some changes. I hada good chance to move to

Yamaha and it will be a longseason, but if we keep work-ing like this it will be ok.

Motocross Illustrated: You areone of the few who has beat-en Jerey Herlings. What isthe goal in 2016?

Tonkov: I mean of course;Jerey is pretty strong. I sawhim in Valence and some oth-er races, and he is fast. Heis just a human though andI have raced with him beforeand beaten him once in mylife. I know I can do it and Imaybe just need some time.You have to be consistent andthe goal isn’t to beat Jerey,because if you see his resultsthe last two years he didn’twin a championship becauseof injury. We just do our thing

and see what happens. Thegoal is a title for everyone.

Motocross Illustrated: Do youenjoy the races in Qatar andThailand?

Tonkov: Qatar it’s a nice race,it isn’t a long ight, it’s anice city, and you see how itgrows. I like the night race.I don’t like Thailand, it’s toohot and I am from Siberia, so

the heat isn’t good for me.That is why I also prefer notto y direct to Thailand andgo home. I am sad we don’tgo to Malaysia and I lovegoing to the new places andtravel, always nice to see thedierent cultures. When willI go to these places withoutracing motocross. Here wecan say thanks to MXGP fororganizing this.

A WORLD APARTWhen waiting for my ight to leave Bangkok two weeks ago I couldn’t helpbut be happy we come to places like this. I might be a bit of a free spirit,and love the dierent cultures the world brings, but I fell in love with Thai-

land on the very rst trip here. It isn’t just about going to the motocrossfor me, and hasn’t been for probably 10 years. I have been involved in thissport since I was less than 10 years old (I am 54 now), and still remem-ber standing on the side of the track at that very rst race meeting. Ridingcrossing a creek bed, mud everywhere, it was so much fun.


100/110

Riders in Jofa face guards,kidney belts, and Roger deCoster Alpinestars boots.For any 10-year-old it wassomething special. Theriders seemed like gladia-tors, ghting the elements,and bouncing o berms likethey were rubber men.

It’s been a hell of a ride,rst as a young kid mar-veling at the riders, thena young teenager gettinga job covering the rac-es back in Australia in theearly 1980’s. I felt like Ihad made it, and while theAussie magazines neverreally paid well, it gaveme the chance to travel

throughout Australia andmake trips to Europe, andAmerica on their dime. Itwas a love aair I have hadwith travel and one thatprobably won’t die until Ido.

Moving to Europe in 1993was more about followinglove than anything else.Four beautiful kids and a

divorce later, I have real-ly found that life isn’t justabout working (I probablynever looked at work as mybest friend).

I am lazy, I have no doubtmany people know that. Ihardly even edit my stories,and write from my heart,what you see is what youget with me. I am honest,

trustworthy and most im-portantly loyal to peoplewho are loyal to me.

Damn I got o track didn’tI? Back to Thailand.

The eort put in by thelocal promoters deservesrespect. When Ben Townleyput the event down I real-ly felt for them. Guy’s like

Kraitos Wongsawan who wasthe reason Thailand has beenon the MXGP calendar the lastfour years, was excited for thisyear’s event. A lot of activitywas circled around the GP, andit worked well.

The event went o without too

much of a problem, and despitethe 40 degree temperatures thecircuit was really good. Motoone in the MXGP class was onefor the ages.

Some like Antonio Cairoli andTommy Searle made the eortto enjoy the experience, some just complained and didn’t getthe whole Thailand thing, and Iget that as well, it isn’t for ev-

eryone.I asked Kraitos if we will beback in 2017, and he mentionedwe will, he said it with a bigsmile. With Indonesia also onthe schedule, and possibly Aus-tralia, the GP riders will get toonce again enjoy parts of theworld they might never haveseen in their lives had they notbeen MX riders. We should all

be thankful for these trips, be-cause they only make us betterpeople.
