DThe first eight races of the World Championship are behind us. So we went to look at the statistics of the MX1 class. Here we see that Antonio Cairoli is the most consistent. The Italian KTM rider has now won eight of the sixteen races and has also won half of the Grand Prix. Yet behind Cairoli we have men like Pourcel, Desalle and Paulin who are still fighting for the title. But they all lack the consistency that the little Italian can show.
Below we see the statistics after the first eight GPs.
