The Latvian started well and by the finish of both races he separated himself from the rest of the field. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Pauls Jonass took the second overall and 1-1 finish of his MX2 season in Patagonia Argentina today. It is clear he is determined to improve and expects to do so in the following rounds. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Herlings had his best result in MXGP thus far finishing 7th in race 2 and taking 9th overall. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Max Nagl traditionally does well in Argentina and though it may not be the results he was hoping for his consistent top ten finishes landed him in 8th overall. Cairoli showed the heart of a champion and recouped valuable points. Cairoli struggled on both starts and he was positioned as low as 22nd in race one before finishing 9th and 15th in race 2 before working his way to 5th. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Antonio Cairoli was perhaps the one rider who had the hardest charge. His 3-10 finishes put him in 6th overall. ![]() ![]() The Belgian finished 3rd in race 1, he then rocketed out of the gate in race 2 behind Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Glenn Coldenhoff and then lead the first 3 laps before falling back to 10th. Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Clement Desalle looked good throughout weekend. In race 2 he had a similar start with a 10th but eventually moved into 5th until a fall cost him the position and left him to finish 8th for 5th overall. Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Romain Febvre also made his way forward as he started 11th in race 1 but made quick work and in one lap was 7 th, he then continued to move ahead for a 4th place finish. In race 2 he started one better in 5th on the first lap but would pass the early leader Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Clement Desallefor 4th which is where Paulin would finish receiving 4th overall on the weekend. Gautier was in 8th on the first lap of race 1 and at times, he was in a three way battle with his Husqvarna teammates but he would lead the three with a 6th place at the finish. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Gautier Paulin worked his way forward in both races. Bobryshev said “I’ve been sick for a few weeks and coming here I didn’t really expect to be on the podium…Today I was feeling better and stronger…I’m really pumped for sure to be 3rd overall.” Bobryshev passed both Desalle and Van Horebeek in race 2 giving team HRC a 1-2 race finish and both riders on the overall podium. Meanwhile Team HRC’s Evgeny Bobryshev, who was admittedly not feeling very well due to a virus, fought through pain and his 5-2 results gave him his first overall podium of the year. In the post race press conference he stated, “My preseason was really good, in Qatar and Indonesia I don’t know what happened…I‘ve regrouped, me and my team made some changes to the bike, both today and yesterday I felt like myself, I felt comfortable and ready to fight for wins.” After a good pre-season Jeremy struggled in the first two rounds of the championship but he is now looking like a contender for wins. Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Van Horebeek had his best results of the year finishing 2-3 for second overall. Gajser later in the press conference said, “I’m really happy, its actually a perfect weekend and it couldn’t be better! I was enjoyed all weekend!” He kept true to his qualifying form and won race one ahead of Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Van Horebeek and race two just over 5 seconds ahead of Team HRC teammate Evgeny Bobryshev.
