1995 MOTOCROSS 125 GP – FOXHILL, ENGLAND

125 action all the way. Watch Paul MALIN become the pride of Britain, winning his home GP with 1:2 score.
Excellent racing throughout, from MALIN, Alex PUZAR, Chico CHIODI, Frederic VIALLE & a young Seb TORTELLI.

Onto the line then the quickest man in yesterday’s free training the Frenchman 16 years of age number 25 Sebastian tortelli M Phantom beside him but here is number 68 on that mobile Yamaha Paul ma number four then Dave stribus Phantom beside him that’s 77 puar the current leader of the

Championship with Jimmy button the American beside him everybody waiting there torelli on the inside fanton just beside him with room for one Rider between the green flag being made ready number 10 in the background mimo bartalini it’s number seven Frederick FAL the Frenchman that settles down beside his countryman tortelli

Everybody okay they say the board will go up there it is 15 seconds this will Herald the start of the first ever double hell of the Grand Prix here in the United Kingdom 25,000 more Spectators have packed in this Hillside circuit to witness this it’s history certainly in the making who’s it going

To be that Gates first tielli V phanton stus is there beside them the go into that first right hand corner and oh they’re all down it’s Motorway Madness there must be 10 or more Riders on the ground there and I think puar is amongst that group but it’s poor m in

The bridge 68 the leads made good the mistakes of the other Rider it’s ma from number two keyote and the crowd are going absolutely wild can Ming sust Ain that good start and stay out front we shall wait and see but look at this a rider went down I

Think it was 18 Roy snailing them on the suuki that went down and it was just a question of a deck of cards they were all over each other but it’s Paul Manan on the mobile Yamaha number 68 that has taken good advantage of that and he leads from coyote

Second listen to the horns well this is unbelievable it’s coyote then and V and then sters so those are the top three at the moment 44 Ed steel mixed in amongst that group but it is Paul mein the darbishire youngster formerly rode in 500 Grand pris at the tender age of

17 finished fourth in the world 500 Championship some years back switching down to 250s now to 125s and this has got to be his greatest moment can he stay there Paul M leads from kyote currently second where is the championship leader puar he went down in that first Corner tumble there’s stus number

Four the Dutchman on the Suzuki they they’ve picked themselves up from that first corner and on no doubt we’re going to see some tremendous Charging down the hill we lost tortelli as well I think in that first Corner crash Jimmy button may well have been amongst that there’s puar 77 well he must be down in 20th or so place at the moment he has got a big mountain to climb the Union Jack the horns it’s got

To be Paul minin still at the front heists the bike down those big drop offs 15 foot or more out into then there’s a challenge on for second the AL goes into second kyot down to third it’s electric here at the moment we have seen nothing like this since the great days

Of Dave Thor poor man it is then that leads here at the British double-headed Grand Prix in the 125 class F kot and striis fourth there’s Nathan Shelton just going through he fifth place so that’s two British riders in the top 10 and we’ve got another one there Neil

Prince the Welshman just gone through there’s number eight Maro going through he didn’t get a good start but where there’s to telli where is BR are the current championship leader and the answer is there and he’s making way through he’s getting past the slower roers but it is Paul M 68 that heads

This first Grand Pre League at Fox Hills Motor Park kot still third striver still fourth we’re looking back behind that group Shelton just going through number 20 and tortelli is on the ground the 16-year-old French youngster not a good start for him here here Ming absolutely making the best of

This and beginning to pull a small Gap over second place man Frederick vial but look at stribus he is a man that is determined to pull through there is Shelton and that’s bellatti on the inside of him so really it’s beginning to sort things out just a

Little bit we’re still looking back for puar what sort of progress has he made and he’s on the Move Jimmy button just gone through there could this be puar yes indeed it is just about barely read the 77 on the front but he’s got a lot to do but he

Leads the championship by a fairly healthy margin but it’s Paul M and just look at the crowd everybody’s got a flag everybody’s got a program and the air horns are resounding Through The Valleys here at Fox Hills motor park it’s still then V and kyote and stus and stous

Looks to be making a move on kote for third no doubt I think Strivers has got aspirations of taking that position away from alesio keyote he’s having a look at it here’s the man that leads at the moment the Brit Paul Malin behind Malin it’s still the Frenchman fial then

Keyote then stribus no changes so far can minin hang on to that lead there’s Nathan Shelton number 20 this is a great ride from him behind him was belletti but we’re back with the leader once again Heights it up over the ski jump comes around Off the Wall of Death

Down where the first start corner is poor m in 68 gets the pit board from Steve Dixon Mr spoon his mechanic malan leads on the mobile Yamaha Behind him it should still be V but here is Malin this has got to be one of his greatest days this season it could be one of his greatest days in his life Paul M from darash in England leads the first League of this combined 25025 CC Grand Prix championship these are the

125s Paul ma right started his racing career on kavasaki Val coming through and yes drivers has gone to third where is kyote the answer is there down a place into fourth 61 here the young Frenchman Stefan ronard he’s got Nathan Shelton number 20 behind him this is a brilliant ride from

Shelton the rest of the Riders trying to make up positions 37 that’s Neil Prince with Jimmy button behind the prince the reigning British 125 Champion there is puar he really is on a Gallop at the moment from almost at the back of the field he’s up I think into the top 10

Now but Paul maing certainly not prepared to relinquish his lead a quite a large gap now developing between himself and second place man which was the Frenchman Frederick valal and still is then stus and kyote as they go through the spectacular circuit here at Fox Hills in Great Britain with the big

Jumps it certainly is a picturesque and very exciting circuit to watch from kyote now fourth can he get back at Strivers Jimmy button the American 59 recovering from that first first Corner crash Buton his first year in Europe PRI and Grand Prix racing and there is puar behind button so puar definitely on the Move Kurt nckl there with Steve Dixon talking to one of the ACU officials it’s Paul

Maing the crowd are going wild this 125cc mobile Yamaha with Malin on it and stus now after second place V still there but stus is looking menacing keyote backing forth and unhurried by anyone the young Frenchman Ron Carter still there number 61 should have Shelton behind him and he does Nath

And Shelton right of his life so far then it’s bti Ed seal and here comes Button he’s 10th behind button of the moment it’s Neil Prince 11th and here’s puar and he’s 12th so he really has charged through but it’s still the British Rider Paul Malin that heads this first one 125

Leg of this double-headed Grand Prix and the crowd are absolutely lapping this up look at the gap between first and second Davis strive as it is second place number four on the Suzuki then it’s V number seven on the kwasaki but it’s Ming down the hill the photographers snapping away as

Maing goes over the tabletop the crowd look at the Union Jacks they are absolutely loving this what an atmosphere the Gap then it’s onal goes back up to Second stribus back to third kyote still fourth or stribus made a mistake somewhere track conditions absolutely excellent at the moment they look on

Somebody there very it’s Nathan Shelton the bik has expired on him he’s very upset and I’m not surprised one of his best Grand Prix would have been his best Grand Prix result today and the bike’s given up on him but not for this man Paul M at the moment on the mobile

Yamaha leads this first leg of the 125 Grand Prix in Great Britain looking back for second it was V but now it’s stus so where has Val gone they’re up in places these two we’re waiting for the next man through it’s keyote kod and then V so V from second

To Fourth he obviously made a mistake somewhere around the circuit but not this one Paul mein is making no mistake so far Heist the bike down the big hill the drop off here at Fox Hills are awesome Ming it is on target for a record if he wins he’ll be the first

Englishman to win a 125 World Grand Pre league in Great Britain stus still there behind him second kyot still chasing third where is VI and the answer is there well he looks quick so possibly he’s trying to get back on terms with the Italian alexand over the hill this is and

The American Jimmy button it’s a real dog fight between those two has button got the better of him I think he has up the hill they go for the double uphill step and I think button got the better yes and that’s puar chasing that group Paul Ming number 68 just listen to

Those air horns on his way for his first Grand Prix Victory Davies stus no stranger to the victory rostrom Paul maing this certainly is something that’s going to be remembered by all of us forever more down the hill he comes works his way through the chican on the uphill

Section again very chalky circuit here in Great Britain a spectacular Grand Prix circuit it is up the hill goes Paul ma once again Dave stribus can really do nothing about the leader just has to sit there and consolidate that second position and the 70 points he’ll get with that second

Position third place man it’s still Aliso kote on the Chesterfield Yamaha and there is V Frederick veal number seven on the platini kavasaki but it’s mailing on the mobile Yamaha number 68 at the moment that has got the lead and I really don’t think bar any mechanical or Rider era is going to

Relinquish it look at the crowd being urged on by the circuit commentators the crowd are 100% behind him he must feel so good at the moment Paul me started his riding career on kavasaki then changed to the 250 category then on to 125s Davis driers a former world

Champion there behind him second place but what can one say about this young man he’s come here to his home Grand Pre and he is doing what can only be asked of him he’s winning stribus behind him still second keyote where’s V and the answer is there beginning close on third

Place man keyote and behind keot it’s still the Frenchman Stefan ronard there’s button up to six now Jimmy button and behind button it’s puar then seventh that’s a tremendous ride from him from literally dead last and behind him number eight that’s but listen to this it’s the Jacker

Flag then Paul M wins the first one 125 heat here at the British Motocross Grand Prix Paul M then 20 points and something that will be remembered not by just himself but by everyone here to witness it second place then for Dave sters he won’t be too unhappy about that third

Place then for kyote we’re looking back behind fourth for V and fifth then for the American Jimmy button minin celebrates and salutes the fans David stus needs a drink John Haller there congratulates Paul me leg one home [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Island Sebastian tortelli the young 16year old Frenchman lead the Riders onto the line then for heat two beside him number 71 that was fanton here’s Paul me once again number 68 beside him number 15 cladio federici puar and stribus two of the veteran campaigners here in this Grand

Prix race today number eight there Maro as we wait for the board to go up to start the second heat of this 125 class there it goes 15 second board shown to the Riders they’ll spin it round 5 Seconds the gate will drop anytime during that 5

Seconds we wait can minin do it again the gate drops here they come it’s all turn right this Time kote amongst that leading group it looks like P up and federici Ming there in third but it looks like puar that’s got away first yes puar then number 15 clao federici m is also there they sort themselves out there’s keyote there’s V there’s tortelli on the

Inside on the outside there number 12 that’s Mel mashio just gone through I gar the hill for the first first time but the scrap is on at the front who’s it going to be that comes down the hill first it’s puar number 77 making amends for that first race and minin is second

Paul minin hangs on to Second behind the championship leader puar federici behind him in third up the hill they go it’s still puar now King get on terms with xandro puar he’s having a crack at it federici they really are going for this in these opening laps puar down the hill again up

And down the valley they go here at Fox Hills motor park Min in touch with the leader he’s being urged on by the crowd you can hear them there are thousands of air horns being expelled here today it’s still frederici there in third place kyote going through they scrap Jimmy

Button behind that group not a good start from the American going to have to work hard on this one they go down they Valley for the first time but it’s still puai looks over his shoulder to see who is where and who he’s got to worry about

But the man he has to worry about is for Ming federici then stus there’s kyot back in about sixth or seventh at the moment button going through was behind him there’s federici Strivers that looked like number 10 bartalini going through on the TM then tortelli button then F then number 11

Baluchi 61 back there with them again the young Frenchman down the hill everybody waiting to see what Paul maing can do can he get past puar or is puar wound up from that first race disaster on the opening corner leads the championship healthy points for xandro puza on course possibly for

Another world championship and I’m sure Paul Marin has something to say about that here today he’s still there second the mobile Yamaha staying in touch with that Honda down the hill you can see the crowd willing M it on they want him to take puar and go into the

Lead just look at them incredible atmosphere kyote goes through over the Jump Then V well what someone on the floor who is that on the floor looks like number 12 that’s gone down masio picks himself up but the battle is still very much on at the front puar is

Not able to break away from the chasing Brit look at the Crowd Oh if they could they’d get out and push push him I think minin whether he’ll decide to go for the allout win or whether he’ll decide to settle for second and take the overall

Result well that’s a long way away Kodi goes through that’s looks like button behind him torelli sandwiched amongst those two as they go back up the hill they turn down the big drop offs these Riders are getting 20 foot out as they come down and thus is on a mission now in third

He’s looking at the back of M’s bike button gone through toell and behind to Telly that’s V so the two Frenchmen together they are scrapping for the lower placings but the battle is certainly not yet run stribus closing on M this will push M on towards puar top three along the valley that’s

Bartalini on the TM in fourth phanton behind him in fifth and that’s kyot 6 then behind it then it looks like frederici but look at me with the and he looks look at P looks across the track to see who’s behind him I shouldn’t worry about who’s there it’s

The man that’s right behind you at the moment that you need to worry about look at Ming is he going for a pass on the jump they go up and down almost together no but no doubt about it Min is has aspirations of winning this second one as well po m

Unbelievable stuff here from the darish man top Brit at the moment on the day as far as the results are concerned kote chasing hard he can do nothing there’s tortelli looks like frederich with him number 15 indeed it is cladio frederici but down the hill once again

Comes number 77 puar mein has got it now it’s minin min’s crap through into the lead he’s done it the question now is can he sustain it it’s a long way 40 minutes plus two he had a hard race for the first one out but Paul Manan has passed

The championship leader xandro puar so the mobile Yamaha man leads again look at the crowd shaking their fists in the air with delight Ming it is if he can win this one it’ll be a back-to- back second one of his career did it in the 500 class

The crowd are going crazy look at them the atmosphere here there’s 25,000 strong people most of them naturally being British there’s a big contingent over from Belgium and Holland and everywhere they’ve come in coaches to cheer on their Riders but they could ask for no better than this this is superb

Racing Paul M leads the championship leader Alexandro puar then it’s dve stus then behind stus bartalini then Phantom number 71 but maing leads and there’s a small Gap beginning to appear has he broken puar’s Tower I don’t think he has as yet puar coming under pressure from sters bartalini fanton kyot going

Through then it’s Jimmy button that’s a better ride from the American tortelli number 25 then V number seven then REI number 15 amongst that group number eight unbelievable stuff this Is some of the finest 125 Grand Pre racing I think we’re ever going to witness here in Great Britain certainly no one can ever eclipse this Paul manin still leads in heat two remember oh he’s made a mistake down to the bottom he’s let puar through and

His stri is going to get past as well yes he does Paul Ming goes from first to third but I’m sure he hasn’t given it up yet so bartalini still there in fourth with Phantom behind him in fifth oh he doesn’t give it up no not Paul Ming he

Takes Dave driers and moves back in the second to the Delight of the crowd so pu our leads for mailing his second Dove sters is third and what will Steve Dixon his mechanic have to say about that on the pitball well not a lot it would

Seem so is puar now going to try and pull away break M’s toe on his back wheel or is Ming going to find a way back past him again what a tremendous battle here and it’s going on there vanton having a crack at number 10 bartalini they may well change places on this

Lap F maing stus top three come on for look at sters having another crack at Paul man as he got him on the inside I think he has yes DAV stus goes back into second Paul M drops to Third and me’s not giving it up he takes the inside line

Unbelievable riding this is from the Englishman Paul man oh he’s got the definitely bit between his teeth the Bulldog attitude Paul M’s not going to give this up there’s kot going through number eight that’s and roner the Frenchman not such a good race this time for him but nevertheless in

The points down the hill they come m is still there second he will not give this up who are beginning to pull away you can see the Gap but I’m no doubt M will continue to try but if puar gets away I don’t think he’ll catch him but he’s having a crack

At it Paul Ming out comes the pit board for puar being urged on boy’s mechanic Steve Dixon gives Paul me the board out goes to board for sters as well but the battle now is on for places down for fourth fifth and sixth in the lead then here he is Alexandro puar

Number 77 leads Paul mey number 68 is second behind him it should be number four Dove stri as it is then bartalini phanton and kot well you can really ask no more of anyone of these riders today they’ve given it everything and especially this one Paul me stribus has found his second

Wind he’s coming back up minin again determined to get that second place from the Brit down the hill comes puar no stranger to winning races puar ironically wasn’t going to race in Mot cross for 1995 he was going to go road racing couldn’t get a deal came

Back to Motocross at the latter stages took a place in the 125 category and now leads the championship and there he is well I think a decision probably best made minin stribus then it’s phanton still chasing bartalini with kyote chasing phanton no real changes as yet at the moment as

They settle down into the mid part of the race the crowd haven’t given up they’re still oh someone’s gone down that’s driers Dave stri in the same place that M made a mistake it’s quite a big rut down there they’re dropping off the hill straight into it and Strivers got it all

Wrong button in trouble torelli goes through he’s got number seven Val behind him let’s take a look at that from a different angle down comes striver and down he goes head first straight into the mud looks up to see who’s coming down behind him and it was very nearly

Number 10 mimo bartalini that collected him but puar leads and that that lead is beginning to build there’s maing so his main rival Strivers is now drop back Paul ma can settle for second he’ll take the overall result which will be the first time an Englishman has taken an

Overall 125 Grand Prix in this country and for those of you that can remember back 5 years 1990 When Alan Morrison took the overall result be mind Alan Morrison is Irish so he’s actually British and not English there’s tortelli up the hill number 25 they’re squabbling for the lower placings now it’s very

Nearly settled at the front but there’s still points to be earned further down going through amongst that group but here is the leader Alexandro puar number 77 leads and you can tell it’s m that’s coming second the crowd a little bit subdued at the moment but I’m sure

They’ll urge him on as we get into the latter stages bartalini fanton and kyote bring up the next places there’s button Jimmy button 59 battling with v and fricii number 15 Stephan Evers looks on enjoying the quality of this racing puar it is down the hill yet

Again on target for 20 points and an extension of that Championship lead maing number 68 then bartalini number 10 on the TM then Phantom number 71 then kote number two on the Chesterfield yamar hoisted up the double up hill lip down the big hill they come again Jimmy button 59 but he’s under

Pressure at the moment frederich there behind those two they’re squabbling for the lower points but there’s no squabbling at the front not at this moment because this man number 77 Alexandro puar has it totally under control Paul mein obviously settling for second place and the overall result bartalini fanton top

Four fifth then for keone six then for tortelli great ride for Sebastian tortelli seventh for Jimmy Buton number 59 there’s federici and somebody’s gone down in the corner is that stribus again it is it’s not his day today in this one DAV stribus dumps it again puar then comes

Around and takes the checkered flag the agulation of the crowd he wins the second leg but this is the hero of the day Paul mein comes second takes the overall result history in the [Applause] Making
