Romain Febvre rules in the MX1 class while Antonio Cairoli wins again in Supercampione. Victory belongs to Maxime Renaux in MX2
Noto (Italy), 12 February 2018 – The second round of the 'Internazionali d’Italia Motocross’ was hosted by the 'Gino Meli' circuit in Noto, Sicily. The heavy rain that fell on Friday before the race made the track difficult and demanding. SCORPION™ MX32™ Mid Soft rear and front tyres performed impeccably in terms of grip and traction and allowed Pirelli riders to achieve overall victory in all classes.
The mud and slippery ground highlighted the attributes of the Pirelli wares in the MX1 category; a contest that was won by Romain Febvre. The Frenchman managed to surprise Antonio Cairoli in the final laps to cross the finish line in first position. Jeremy Van Horebeek took third place. The nine-times World Champion retaliated by winning the Supercampione - a race in which the first twenty riders in the MX1 and MX divisions take part - ahead of Febvre and Alessandro Lupino in third. Cairoli leads the standings in both MX1 and Supercampione with only one race to close the championship.
Pirelli grabbed victory also in MX2 thanks to the excellent speed of Maxime Renaux who, thanks to this result, jumped to the head of the championship standings. Samuele Bernardini also rode well for third place and Gianluca Facchetti was fourth.
Pirelli also toasted standout results at the Hawkstone Park International in England. Jeffrey Herlings dominated MX1 with Red Bull KTM teammate Glenn Coldenhoff in second and Gautier Paulin third. Pirelli also ruled the podium in MX2 with Pauls Jonass on the top step in front of Thomas Kjer Olsen and Conrad Mewse.
Next Sunday the 'Tazio Nuvolari' circuit in Mantova will host the final round of the 2018 ‘Internazionali d’Italia Motocross’.
