Il GP d’Inghilterra, svolto sul tracciato di MatterleyBasin, ha confermato le aspettative della vigilia. Cairoli ed Olsen hanno colto il successo assoluto, in una prova che offerto spettacolo e vari spunti interessanti.
Tom Vialle 2019 MXGP of Great Britain Matterley Basin
La manche d’apertura della MX2 ha visto TomVialle conquistare l’holeshot. Lo scatto fulmineo realizzato al via gli ha permesso di condurre nelle prime battute di gara. ThomasKjerOlsen si è installato alle spalle del francese, impiegando pochi giri per prendere la testa della corsa. Il danese, però, non è riuscito ad accumulare quel vantaggio necessario per controllare agevolmente la prova. Merito anche di HenryJacobi; dopo essere passato in seconda posizione verso metà gara, il tedesco ha attuato un forcing deciso nei confronti del rivale. Nelle ultime tornate ha provato a giocare tutte le carte a sua disposizione, ma un piccolo errore durante l’ultima tornata gli ha impedito di scavalcare il pilota Husqvarna. Ottima performance di MicheleCervellin, che si è guadagnato la quinta posizione finale, con un pizzico d’amarezza per aver visto svanire la quarta piazza a pochi metri dalla bandiera a scacchi; merito del grande ritorno di BenWatson. L’inglese, dopo essere scivolato nelle prime battute, ha dato fondo a tutte le energie riuscendo ad infilare il rappresentante delle Fiamme Oro proprio sul filo di lana.
Thomas Kier Olsen 2019 MXGP of Great Britain Matterley Basin
Gara 2 ha ricalcato la frazione iniziale, con TomVialle a fare la voce grossa nei primi giri. Il francese ha ribadito la sua bravura nelle partenze, agguantando ancora una volta l’holeshot. ThomasKjerOlsen ha impedito qualsiasi tentativo di fuga, scavalcando il transalpino ed involandosi in testa alla corsa. CalvinVlaanderen ha concretizzato un bell’avvio, guadagnando la terza posizione e avvicinandosi sempre più a Vialle. L’ufficiale KTM ha cercato di difendersi, ma ha dovuto lasciare strada prima all’olandese e in seguito al tedesco Jacobi. Quest’ultimo ha ottenuto la piazza d’onore nell’assoluta, precedendo proprio il giovane talento francese, al primo podio nel Mondiale. Altra buona performance per MicheleCervellin, che grazie al nono posto di manche ha portato a casa la settima piazza nel GP.
2019 MXGP of Great Britain Matterley Basin Podio MX2Antonio Cairoli 2019 MXGP of Great Britain Matterley Basin
La frazione inaugurale della MXGP ha visto AntonioCairoli scattare in testa al gruppo. Il siciliano è stato immediatamente tallonato da TimGajser. Lo sloveno è riuscito a scavalcarlo nei primi giri, realizzando un bel sorpasso all’esterno. In breve ha poi guadagnato un margine di 5 secondi sul nove volte iridato. L’ufficiale Honda, però, è incappato in una caduta spettacolare che avrebbe potuto avere ripercussioni peggiori. Risalito prontamente in sella, è riuscito a non perdere troppo contatto dal gruppo di testa. Cairoli ne ha approfittato, prendendo le redini della gara e gestendo la situazione fino alla bandiera a scacchi. Dietro al vice campione in carica si è piazzato GautierPaulin, mentre il gradino più basso del podio è andato nelle mani di Gajser, che ha limitato i danni dopo la botta rimediata ad inizio manche.
Gautier Paulin 2019 MXGP of Great Britain Matterley Basin
Il copione visto nelle prime fasi di Gara 1 si è ripetuto nella manche conclusiva. AntonioCairoli ha firmato il secondo holeshot di giornata, ma in breve ha perso la leadership in favore di TimGajser. Questa volta lo sloveno non ha commesso errori, mantenendosi lucido e concentrato fino al termine della frazione. Nelle ultime tornate l’azzurro ha cambiato passo, realizzando il giro più veloce in gara nel corso della penultima tornata. Tutto ciò gli ha permesso di ricucire il divario di 6 secondi che lo divideva dall’alfiere del team Honda, ma non è servito per permettergli di sferrare un attacco. Gajser ha così colto il primo successo stagionale, ma l’assoluta ha visto Cairoli incamerare il secondo GP consecutivo. Gradino più basso del podio tanto nella manche quanto nell’assoluta per GautierPaulin.
L’esito finale delle due classi ha visto Olsen scavalcare l’infortunato Prado in testa alla classifica della MX2, mentre nella classe regina Cairoli ha mantenuto salda la Tabella Rossa conquistata in Argentina.
