David Philippaerts
After an excellent start in the first MX1 race on the Sugoland motocross circuit north of Tokyo where KTM Red Bull factory riders Jonathan Barragan and David Philippaerts were second and fourth respectively, the riders were unable to convert the results.

The Italian Philippaerts managed sixth in race two for an eventual overall fourth position, whereas the Spaniard Barragan crashed several times and when he was among one of a number of riders who came unstuck going over the tabletop he decided to retire from race two.

The Spaniard’s misfortune in Japan means the two riders virtually exchange places on the standings table with Philippaerts moving from seventh to fifth place and Barragan dropping from sixth position after Germany last weekend down to seventh place.
 
Meanwhile, KTM’s newest recruit to the factory rider status, German Max Nagl was overall twelfth after finishing at fifteenth in race one and twelfth race two. It was announced in Germany last weekend that the 19-year-old motocross talent, until now a KTM factory supported rider, had been signed as a fully fledged factory rider.
