2009 FIM World Champion, Antonio Cairoli,

2009 FIM World Champion, Antonio Cairoli, struggled during Brazil's races, perhaps due to recent knee surgery.World Champion Cairoli also had a tough Brazilian outing, slipping in moto one and getting stuck in a second corner accident in heat two. The pole man was ninth overall at his first Grand Prix after undergoing knee surgery in the week following Lierop.
Tony Cairoli, Yamaha Red Bull De Carli: "I expected to be able to ride after the surgery but I was not sure of my speed and I was just happy to be here. The championship was already over so I came here to do my best. In the first heat I was pretty quick but got tired after a close battle with Philippaerts. I then made a small crash and lost time to catch the other riders. In the second moto Barragan crashed in front of me and there was nowhere to go. It was amazing with the crowd here and to see so many people coming to watch motocross. I hope we can come back next year. I now want to train as close to normal as I can before the Nations."
