Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tony Cairoli settled his career eighth world motocross title. At the Goias Motocross Grand Prix in Brazil Tony Cairoli crossed the line in fifth place in the opening race to give him an unbeatable lead in the championship points of 89 with just 75 up for grabs in the three races that remained. Despite racing with a painful eye injury picked up in Saturday’s qualifying, Cairoli, a Red Bull sponsored athlete, rode his KTM 350 SX-F to a 4-3 result on Sunday for his eventual overall third.
Cairoli said it was amazing to have taken his eighth title. “When you are a kid you wish for such a thing but you never think you can do it,” he said. “Its hard work but it gives you back many good things. I managed to finish on the podium in all but three races and that was good to achieve points for the season.
