About this Image: Red Bull Teka KTM factory rider Tony Cairoli rode two masterly motos on the deep and tricky sands of Valkenswaard in the Netherlands on Easter Monday to deliver two consecutive moto victories and finish the day at the top of the GP podium. The performance was even more spectacular for Cairoli who was riding injured after hurting his knee in the first GP at Sevlievo, Bulgaria, and while he was clearly in pain and discomfort as he climbed onto the highest step of the GP podium, he never let it deter him from another triumphant ride. It was the fifth time that Tony had won at Valkenswaard and the third in a row in MX1. He paid tribute to the enthusiasm of the Dutch fans and the way they support him. "I am happy that this is the third time I have won in MX1 here but I did struggle a bit today,” said the Italian rider who has just signed on to stay with the Red Bull Teka KTM Factory Racing Team for another two years. “Today, we could also close the gap in the championship points and I hope it's not too long before we get the red plate back again.”
