Gajser, Vialle Perfect In Indonesia
T
he FIM MXGP World Cham-
pionship took place at an
all-new venue, the Samota
Rocket Motor Circuit in Samota-
Sumbawa, Indonesia for the
Indonesian Grand Prix, round
12 of the series, June 26. The
track was purpose-built for this
race and while the starting gates
were sparse, with 20 MXGP rid-
ers and only 14 lining up for the
MX2 class, the venue itself saw
a healthy turnout of fans at the is-
land event. KTM's Tom Vialle and
Honda's Tim Gajser both swept
the day with perfect 1-1 finishes.

Only the strongest MXGP
riders made an appearance at
the MXGP of Indonesia as costs
and logistics played a part in
rider attendance. Some riders
even battled food poisoning prior
to the event, but toughed it out
in order to race. Moto one saw
Tim Gajser holeshot and quickly
escape from the rest of the field.
The points leader was practically
untouchable for the entire first
race as he went on to victory.
