Victories for Pirelli in the last round of “Internazionali d’Italia Motocross” in Mantova

Antonio Cairoli wins MX1 and SUPERCAMPIONE and prevails in both championships; victory for Calvin Vlaanderen in MX2

Mantova’s 'Tazio Nuvolari' circuit hosted the last round of the Internazionali d'Italia Motocross 2018 and the SCORPION™ MX32™ Mid Soft front and the SCORPION™ MX Soft rear tyres allowed Pirelli’s riders to dominate all the races through the bumpy sand.

Antonio Cairoli showed that he will be the man to beat once more in 2018. The nine-time World Champion dominated the MX1 and Supercampione races taking overall victory in both championships. There were also excellent races for Yamaha riders Romain Febvre and Jeremy Van Horebeek who alternated second and third positions in MX1 and Supercampione and finished 1-2 in the series standings. It was an unlucky debut for Tim Gajser who was the victim of a bad fall that is likely to force him out of the opening round of MXGP in two weeks.

Calvin Vlaanderen sealed MX2 victory ahead of Alvin Ostlund and was an excellent runner-up in the championship standings too. Victories for Pirelli were obtained at the high profile Lacapelle Marival International in France with Jeffrey Herlings claiming the MXGP class outright and Hunter Lawrence placing first in MX2.

After the Internazionali d'Italia Motocross championship, in two weeks the MX riders will be ready for the season opener of the MXGP World Championship: the Grand Prix of Patagonia, hosted on the Argentine track of Villa La Angostura.
