Antonio Cairoli grabs victory in MX1 and the
SUPERCAMPIONE classes. In MX2 Jorge Prado repeats his success from the Riola
opener
Ottobiano (Italy), 3 February 2018 – Another triumphant day for
Pirelli in the second round of the
International Italian MX Series which was hosted by the
Ottobiano circuit.
Pirelli’s riders tackled the sandy venue south of Milan with the
SCORPION™ MX32™ Mid Soft front and the SCORPION™ MX Soft rear tyres. Even through the snow and frost of
Ottobiano the product showed excellent performance, allowing
Pirelli equipped riders to dominate the podium in the
MX1 and
Supercampione classes and take the win in
MX2 with
Jorge Prado.
Antonio Cairoli was excellent in the
MX1 race. The nine-time World Champion, despite being struggling with a virus, started in fourth place and managed to climb up to first position. Behind the winner,
Tim Gajser was a strong runner-up. The HRC man beat
Romain Febvre who was third and owner of the holeshot.
In
MX2 reigning world champion
Jorge Prado decimated the opposition. The Spaniard took command at the start and kept his advantage until the finish.
Calvin Vlaanderen finished in second place despite a fall in the final laps that forced him to a charge back to speed.
Next Sunday the
Tazio Nuvolari circuit in
Mantua will host the final round of 2019 edition of the
International Italian MX Series.
