Romain Febvre: “I’m so happy to finish on the podium at the first race of the season. It’s a fantastic result for both the team and myself. We worked hard during the winter to be ready for Qatar and it’s showed. Unfortu- nately, I qualified 14th on Friday and had to work hard from an outside gate pick. But I was able to find some good lines and work my way inside the top five in both races. It feels incredible to leave Qatar with a podium result and I’m excited to try and improve next weekend in Thailand.” Romain Febvre #461 Husqvarna FC 250 Aleksandr Tonkov: “Fifth overall is a competitive start to the season. I’m really pleased with how I rode tonight. Despite a bad gate pick my starts were great and I was running inside the top five on the first lap of each race. I’m a little disappointed to have lost some pace during the midway stages in the motos, but towards the end I began to find a fast rhythm again and was able to finish strongly. Next weekend is the GP of Thailand and alt- hough it will be hot I’m confident I can do better.” Aleksandr Tonkov Husqvarna Motorcycles GmbH T + 43 / 7742 / 60 00-0 Stallhofnerstraße 3 F + 43 / 7742 / 60 00-202 5230 Mattighofen, Austria W www.husqvarna-motorcycles.com Todd Waters: « ca a été un début très rude pour ma car- rière sur le MXGP. J’ai fait une sacrée chute pendant les qualifications et j’ai eu de la chance de ne pas être blessé. Quand je me suis retrouvé dans la section de vagues, j’ai en plus fait une erreur qui m’a bloqué et j’ai donc rechuté, l’un des plus grosses chutes depuis longtemps d’ailleurs. Je me suis senti un peu abattu. Mais j’étais déterminé à aller jusqu’au bout de ma première compétition en MXGP. Dans Todd Waters la première course, j’avais encore mal mais je me suis hissé à la quatorzième place. Je me sentais mieux pour la se- conde manche et j’ai mené mon combat sur la piste avec confiance. Finir onzième c’était un vrai progrès. J’ai espoir que le weekend end prochain les choses seront plus faciles et pouvoir finir dans le top dix, je sais que j’en suis ca- pable. » Result ats – Motocross World Championship 2014, Round 1 Qatar MX2 Général 1.

    Communiqué de presse Rinaldi et Yamaha fêtent 25 ans d'une collaboration florissante Date/heure de l'embargo: [ vendredi 16 décembre 2016 19:55 hrs CET ] Rinaldi et Yamaha fêtent 25 ans d'une collaboration florissante Cette semaine, Yamaha Motor Europe et Michele Rinaldi, ancien champion du monde motocross FIM, ont fêté les 25 ans d'une coopération et d'un partenariat prolifiques qui ont souvent permis à l'équipe de Yamaha Factory Racing de dominer le championnat MXGP et les Grand Prix de Motocross. C'est en 1984 que Rinaldi devient champion du monde FIM sur une 125 cm3 : c'est alors le tout premier Italien à être couronné en motocross depuis l'inauguration de ce sport comme compétition FIM en 1957. Les résultats et le profil de Rinaldi lui valent de faire pratiquement l'objet d'un culte dans son pays. Mais il marque tout autant les annales du championnat MX à son poste de manager d'équipe et responsable d'équipe, mais aussi de partenaire technique et responsable du développement pour The Yamaha Motor Company au Japon. L'histoire entre Rinaldi et Yamaha commence fin 1991 sur un succès immédiat, grâce à Donny Schmit et Bobby Moore, pilotes américains qui remportent tous deux des titres mondiaux. En tout, ce sont sept athlètes de quatre pays différents qui décrocheront la palme de champion du monde sous l'égide de Rinaldi. L'épopée Rinaldi-YME compte de nombreux chapitres : la transition de la discipline entre les catégories 125, 250 et 500 et les MX2 et MX1, puis MXGP, le passage des machines deux temps aux machines quatre temps, les débuts de la YZ400F et certaines avancées importantes en termes de R&D pour la gamme YZ.
