WORLD CHAMPIONS!

Sidi is happily celebrating with immense satisfaction along with Tony Cairoli (Team Red Bull Teka KTM Factory Racing motocross) his 2011 World Title victory in the motocross MX1 class. 

On Sunday, September 4th, in the European GP on the German circuit in Gaildorf, the Sicilian champion took home the fifth Championship Title of his career, with one race left to go until the end of the series. Cairoli only needed a few points to mathematically secure the title, but of course he raced in his own style, putting on a show and going all out to win. 

Cairoli started out with an 82 point advantage over his closest rival in the standings, Frenchman Frossard. But regardless of this margin he certainly wasn’t playing it safe. 

Cairoli was third in race1 and second in race2 after two amazing comebacks, which carried him to the win in the final standings in the Grand Prix and sealed his World Title.

By now the world rankings speak for themselves: Cairoli is first with 596 points, Frossard is second with 472 and Desalle comes in third with 461 points. Besides Cairoli, Sidi has another three riders in the World Championship Top 10: fourth-placed German Max Nagl, Portugal’s Rui Goncalves in sixth place and  ninth-placed Jonathan Barragan from Spain. Next Sunday will be the final showcase, on the Fermo circuit for the Italian Grand Prix, which will be the last race in the 2011 World Title series.

Tony Cairoli keeps racking up record stats. Now he has captured 5 World Titles, two in MX2 in 2005 and 2007, and three consecutive titles in MX1 in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

For all these extraordinary victories Cairoli has been able to count on Sidi, which has supported him with commitment and passion. In this season the Sicilian rider has won 6 of the 14 Grand Prix races to now, with 5 second place finishes.

Altogether, he holds 43 championship victories (24 in MX2, the rookie series, and 19 in MX1, the master series in cross), with 88 heat victories in 123 Grand Prix competitions throughout his career. To give an idea of the value of Cairoli’s accomplishments, it’s enough to think that in the history of motocross there have only been two “legends”, like Stefan Everts, the king of motocross with 10 Championship Titles, and Joel Roberts, who have been able to win more.

And Sidi gets the satisfaction of also having been next to these two phenomena. Records were made to be broken and Cairoli certainly doesn’t seem to have any intention of stopping now...

CAIROLI AND SIDI CLOSER THAN EVER TO THE MX1 WORLD TITLE!

CAIROLI AND SIDI CLOSER THAN EVER TO THE MX1 WORLD TITLE

For Tony Cairoli and Sidi the race towards the World Title in MX1 seems to have no obstacles. This would be the fifth World Title for Cairoli in his extraordinary career in motocross.

On Sunday, August 21st, in the Great Britain Grand Prix the champion from Sidi was back to winning. On the fast, spectacular circuit in Winchester, Cairoli clinched his fifth success of the season to gain precious points which launched him above the stratosphere of all the other riders in the championship standings. Cairoli put on a great show on the British circuit, standing out as the lead player with an exceptional performance. In fact, the Italian rider riding for KTM had two unfortunate starts, but fearlessly relying on his guts and class, he was able to make a fantastic comeback. In race1 he made it back into third position, and in race2 he even managed to make it to the highest step on the podium. These two important results carried him to victory on the day, ahead of Frenchmen Pourcel and Frossard, and more importantly added to his uncontested lead in the World Title rankings.

And it wasn’t just Cairoli; lots of Sidi stars are standing out as major players in this 2011 motocross season. In Great Britain in race1 in fact, Tanel Leok took fourth place, Max Nagl came in fifth and sixth place went to Rui Goncalves.

While in race2 Jonathan Barragan was fourth and Max Nagl fifth. Nagl, who’s in top form, came in just shy of the final podium, in fourth place in the Grand Prix overall standings. As always, Cairoli and the other Sidi aces had some serious help from their co-stars - that is, their Sidi Crossfire boots, the boots of champions and the number one in motocross.

Now it’s on to the Gaildorf circuit in Germany, for the European Grand Prix scheduled for next September 4th. It will be the second-to-last World Title test and for Cairoli to conquer the championship mathematically he’ll only have to come in eighteenth or garner eight more points. But of course, the super-champ will want to take on the race in his usual style… to win, have fun and put on a show.
