Pirelli celebrates Motocross MX2 title with Jorge Prado at the Grand Prix of Italy in Imola
Jeffrey Herlings dominates the last race of the season in the MXGP class. Jorge Prado wins both races and grabs the MX2 title
Imola (Italy), 1 October 2018 – The Enzo and Dino Ferrari International Circuit in Imola hosted the last round of the 2018 FIM World Motocross Championship; the Grand Prix of Italy. The beautiful and spectacular track built across the final part of the historic Italian facility that in 1948 hosted the first international motocross competition held in Italy was constructed from hard-packed terrain and rocky soil. In the conditions SCORPION™ MX32™ Mid Soft front and rear tyres were the winning choice of Pirelli-equipped riders who achieved victories and podium placements in both classes. Plenty of Italian public filled the natural tribuna of Rivazza’s hill throughout the weekend.Freshly crowned at Assen two weeks ago, Jeffrey Herlings was peerless at Imola; dominating the qualifying race and both heats. There as an excellent second place for Tim Gajser who was runner-up in both motos of MXGP. Good positions also for Gautier Paulin and Jeremy Van Horebeek who took fifth and sixth overall positions respectively. Antonio Cairoli suffered some bad luck and was forced out of the race due to a crash on Saturday.
Jorge Prado confirmed a great season for KTM by claiming the MX2 title. The Red Bull KTM rider and Claudio De Carli’s latest protege arrived in Imola with the title already in his pocket thanks to Pauls Jonass's absence due to a knee injury and took a double victory, owning the Grand Prix overall. Husqvarna factory riders Thomas Olsen and Thomas Covington finished second and third overall. Thanks to today's result the Danish rider confirmed third place in the championship standings.
To close the motocross season the Red Bud circuit in the United States of America will host the seventy-first edition of the Motocross of Nations that will bring the curtain down on a full year of successes for Pirelli and their riders.
