MXGP
FRANCE
The FIAT Professional MXGP of France was
held today at the beautiful Ernée circuit in
front of thousands of energetic and dedicated
fans. Doubling down on the success of
yesterday’s qualifying races Monster Energy
Kawasaki Racing Team’s Clement Desalle
and Red Bull KTM Factory
Racing’s Pauls Jonass won
their respective overalls in
an amazing atmosphere.
The weekend started
well for Monster Energy
Kawasaki Racing Team’s
Clement Desalle as he took
pole position, winning the
qualifying session. Desalle
started Sunday looking to
keep the momentum on
his side but a 4th place in
Race 1 wasn’t what he was
capable of or expecting.
In race 2 the #25 came
out on a mission when he
jumped past Red Bull KTM
Factory Racing’s Antonio
Cairoli for the lead on lap
2 and then led every lap
to the finish winning his
first race and overall of the
year. Desalle in the press
conference said: “It’s really

nice to be back on the podium
and it’s a good feeling to win a race after a
while. I’m very satisfied about the job me and
my team did in the last few weeks and we’ll
keep working to be consistent for the rest of
the season and enjoy riding”.
