The starts say it all for Cervellin

With a track of ever changing conditions in the Mexican heat, #michelecervellin delivered in Mexico today on his #crf250rw as his improved starts reflected in his results.

 

In the first race Cervellin had a good jump out of gate but then collided with another rider down the start straight, causing him to falter slightly. This set him further back in the  pack as he entered the first corner. Within the first lap the feisty Italian worked his way through the crowded class back to 12th place. The young Italian gave it his all for the rest of the race and pulled his way back to ninth place. 

 

In the second race Cervellin had a stronger start which meant in the first lap he immediately found himself in 11th place. He ended up in a battle for eighth place in a group which are all a similar pace. It was very hard to make progress on the challenging track especially with limited places to pass so in the end he had to settle for 11th. 

 

Finishing 11th overall today means Michele now moves up to seventh in the championship standings. He now moves onto familiar ground as we head into the European leg of the series in two weeks.
