PIRELLI ON TOP AT OTTOBIANO FOR THE SECOND ROUND OF INTERNAZIONALI D’ITALIA
Tim Gajser takes his second victory in both MX1 and in Supercampione. Maxime Renaux wins MX2
Ottobiano (Italy), 2nd February 2020 – The spectacular Ottobiano circuit hosted the second round of three in the 2020 Internazionali d'Italia Motocross. To tackle the sandy soil of the Lombardian track, Pirelli equipped their riders with the excellent SCORPION™ MX32™ Mid Soft front and SCORPION™ MX™ Soft rear. These tyres allowed the Italian company to win all three MX1, MX2 and Supercampione classes.MXGP World Champion Tim Gajser was unrivalled in MX1. The reigning world champion led the race from start to finish. Behind him there was an excellent second place for teammate Mitchell Evans, who repeated his ranking obtained in Riola last Sunday. Henry Jacobi and Arnaud Tonus shined by classifying in fourth and fifth place respectively.
Maxime Renaux won the MX2 class and moved to the top of the championship standings. There was a great second place for Gianluca Facchetti who led Tom Vialle and teammate Thibault Benistant at the finish. Pirelli filled the top five positions on the day thanks to Mikkel Haarup in fifth.
Tim Gajser immediately took command of the Supercampione after an amazing start and kept it up to the chequered flag. Mitchell Evans confirmed his good form so far by taking the runner-up slot. Arnaud Tonus finished fourth while Maxime Renaux, sixth, was the best rider with the smaller MX2 bike. The 2020 edition of the Internazionali d’Italia Motocross will end with the third and final round scheduled for next weekend at the Tazio Nuvolari circuit in Mantova.
