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.

SIDI’S BIG PARTY IN THE BELGIAN GRAND PRIX!

Antonio Cairoli has scored another magical double, and to do so he chose the best of all places, Belgium, a land of great champions where motocross hangs in the air and stirs up the excitement from the crowd.

In the Belgian Grand Prix that took place on Sunday, July 31st, on the circuit in Lommel, in Limburg, Cairoli literally dominated the race, winning both race1 and race2. Cairoli doubled down on his 2010 success, proving that he has a good relationship with this circuit. It’s a very technical tract made more treacherous by the sandy surface but this was no problem for the World Champion.

Sidi Sport is pleased as punch because in addition to Cairoli on the highest step of the podium, they could also celebrate a solid third place by Germany’s Maximilian Nagl, both riders members of the strong Red Bull Teka KTM Factory Racing Team. Not to mention the third place in race1 by Portugal’s Rui Goncalves.

As always, Sidi Crossfire boots accompanied the riders on to the podium. Tony Cairoli is forging himself as the master of this MX1 season, well on his way to conquering the 2011 World title, even though there’s a ways to go to the end of the championship. 

With the points he collected in Belgium Cairoli has further lengthened his lead in the rankings over his direct rival, Belgian Desalle, who came in second in his home town Grand Prix, right behind Cairoli. The first-rate Sicilian is raking up record numbers, and in Belgium he signed his fourth season victory and the forty-first in his career.
