Max Nagl now also wins the Grand Prix of Trentino
Max Nagl took his third Grand Prix victory of the season in Trentino, Italy. The German from the Ice One Husqvarna Team took the Grand Prix victory, especially in the second series, with a great display of power. Home rider Antonio Cairoli finished second and Clement Desalle took the third podium place. In the standings, our compatriot remains in the lead with one meager point, ahead of the duo Max Nagl and Antonio Cairoli.
Cairoli holds off Nagl and Desalle in the sprint…
It was Antonio Cairoli who took the holeshot ahead of Villopoto, Nagl, Febvre and Desalle. But after the second corner things almost went wrong for Villopoto, who barely managed to keep himself upright and had to leave second place to Max Nagl. Van Horebeek was only just in the top ten after the start and therefore had to pull out all the stops immediately. At the front we had a leading group with Cairoli, Nagl, Villopoto and Desalle who had dealt with Febvre. Van Horebeek had also made up some places in the meantime and clocked the fastest lap time. Desalle seemed to have to loosen the role at the front for a moment, but immediately corrected that and even passed Villopoto into third place. So we went to an exciting end with four riders within five seconds. Max Nagl, who did not give Cairoli a single moment of rest, placed himself on the wheel of the world champion in the last two laps. No matter what Nagl tried, he could not break through the Cairoli fortress and even had to watch out for the pushy Desalle in the last hundreds of meters. So Cairoli, Nagl and Desalle sprinted across the finish line wheel to wheel. Van Horebeek ultimately finished sixth and Ken De Dijcker took ninth place just ahead of the Dutchman Glenn Coldenhoff.

The Max is simply the max…
Max Nagl was the man who led the gang in the second series. Cairoli was immediately in second place, with Villopoto and Desalle behind him. Van Horebeek and De Dijcker were just in the top ten after the start. Nagl immediately set super fast lap times at the front and immediately ran away from his pursuers. Behind Nagl's back we had a group with Cairoli, Villopoto and Desalle competing for second place. The first serious attack came from Desalle on Villopoto for third place. But when passing the pit lane, Villopoto lost control of the bike in the duel with Desalle and crashed hard. Fortunately, Desalle was just able to avoid the American's motorcycle. The race was immediately over for Villopoto, who headed towards the riders' park with a painful grimace. Less than a lap later, Desalle also crashed and had to leave third place to Febvre. Van Horebeek fought heaven and earth behind the backs of the Honda duo Bobreshev-Paulin, aiming for fifth place, but a second painful fall forced him to drive towards the riders' park. At the front, Nagl simply completed his laps and headed unthreatened for the series victory and the GP victory. We still had some battle for second place because Febvre battled Cairoli all the way to the finish flag. Cairoli eventually finished second ahead of Febvre and Desalle had to settle for fourth place. Ken De Dijcker rode his best race to date and finished seventh behind the Honda duo.
