Ferris Stands In For Febvre For Three MXGP Rounds

Yamaha Motor Europe è lieta di dare il benvenuto alla star australiana MXGP Dean Ferris nel team MXGP di Monster Energy Yamaha Factory come sostituto temporaneo per l’infortunato Romain Febvre.

Dopo un’entusiasmante partenza per la stagione MXGP, che è stata celebrata con un’enorme vittoria nelle qualifiche, Febvre non è stato, purtroppo, in grado di finire il primo Gran Premio dell’anno dopo una pesante caduta in Gara 2. L’ex campione del mondo MXGP ha rotto il suo Talus nel incidente e fu successivamente informato che la lesione richiedeva intervento chirurgico.

Febvre ha subito un’operazione di successo mercoledì 13 marzo presso l’Università di Anversa (UZA). Ci si aspetta che l’infortunio richieda sei settimane per guarire, quindi Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP ha invitato Ferris a riempire il posto del francese per i prossimi tre round del campionato del mondo MXGP.

Ferris farà il suo debutto MXGP 2019 nel weekend del 24 marzo a Matterley Basin, a Winchester, in Inghilterra, dove si allineerà su una Yamaha Monster Energy Factory MXGP YZ450FM per il secondo round del Campionato Mondiale FIM Motocross.

Matterley Basin è il primo di tre round MXGP consecutivi. Ferris si schiererà anche per i due round che seguono. Terzo round a Valkenswaard, Paesi Bassi, e il quarto round a Pietramurata, in Italia.

“Sono davvero grato per l’opportunità, so che il prossimo GP è vicino ma abbiamo ancora qualche giorno per sentirmi a mio agio con la moto. Ho già guidato queste tre piste, quindi tirerò molto sulla mia esperienza. E’ fantastico che io possa stare con la Yamaha perché ho avuto una grande esperienza con loro negli ultimi anni. È un peccato che Romain si sia fatto male, non vogliamo mai vedere queste cose ma può succedere, farò del mio meglio per questi GP e io attendo con impazienza l’esperienza e l’opportunità. ”

Ferris Stands In For Febvre For Three MXGP Rounds

Yamaha Motor Europe is pleased to welcome Australian MXGP star Dean Ferris into the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP team as a temporary replacement for the injured Romain Febvre. 

After an exciting start to the MXGP season, which was celebrated with an emphatic Qualifying Race win, Febvre was unfortunately unable to finish the first Grand Prix of the year after a heavy fall in Race 2. The former MXGP World Champion broke his Talus in the incident and was later informed that the injury required surgical repair. 

Febvre underwent a successful operation on Wednesday 13th of March at the University Antwerp Hospital (UZA). The injury is expected to take six-weeks to heal therefore Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP has called upon Ferris to fill the Frenchman’s seat for the next three rounds of the MXGP World Championship. 

Ferris is the current Australian Motocross Champion in the premier class and has been undefeated in the title chase for the last three years. All three titles were won on Yamaha’s popular YZ450F, and in 2018 he put his name in the history books as the first rider to win all 10-rounds of the series.

No stranger to the podium or the tracks and venues in Europe, the 28-year-old is relishing the chance to race three rounds of the MXGP World Championship with a Factory YZ450FM as a substitute for Febvre. Having achieved his current goals in Australia, he is now looking for opportunities to compete in other areas of the world and new challenges that will allow him to further hone his skills as a top motocross rider.  

Ferris will make his 2019 MXGP debut on the weekend of March 24that Matterley Basin, in Winchester, England, where he will line up on a Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP YZ450FM for the second round of the FIM Motocross World Championship. 

Matterley Basin is the first of three back-to-back MXGP rounds. Ferris will also contest the two rounds that follow. Round three in Valkenswaard, The Netherlands, and round four in Pietramurata, Italy.

“I’m really grateful for the opportunity. I know the next GP is close but we still have a few days to get comfortable with the bike. I have ridden these three tracks before so I will be pulling on my experience a lot. It’s great that I can stay with Yamaha as I’ve had a great experience with them in the past few years. It’s a bummer that Romain got hurt, we never want to see that but it can happen. I will be trying my very best for these GP’s and I look forward to the experience and opportunity.”
