Gajser Tops Mantova MXGP Warmup
H
onda HRC's Tim Gajser con-
tinued his winning ways in
Italy, where he traded moto wins
with Romain Febvre to win round
two of the Internazionali d'Italia
Championship at Mantova on
February 11.
Gajser led from start to finish
in moto one, with his Honda HRC
teammate Ruben Fernandez
finishing second. Kawasaki's
Febvre was third. Jeremy Seewer
(Kawasaki) was fourth.
In moto two, Gajser had to do
some work. He had a difficult
first lap but came up through the
pack to take second to Febvre,
but that was good enough to
secure the overall victory.
A 3-1 gave Febvre second
overall, and a 2-4 landed Fernan
-
dez on the podium in third.
Seewer went 4-3 for fourth
overall, and Alvin Ostlund (Hon-
da) went 10-5 for fifth overall.
"Obviously, I wanted to win that
second race as well, to make it a
perfect four wins from four races,"
said Gajser, who won both motos
the previous weekend. "But I was
still pleased to be able to come
through the field and get close to
winning before time ran out. And I
still won overall, so it was a good
day, and I'm glad we did these
two events. Getting in some com
-
petitive races before the MXGPs
start is an important step for me,
and it is nice to test out this new
bike in a race environment. I'm
very happy with how it's going."
In MX2, Red Bull KTM Factory
Racing's Liam Everts took the
overall win after going 1-2.
Everts' teammate Andrea
Adamo was second overall with
a 4-1.
Valerio Lata (GasGas), Simon
Laengenfelder (KTM) and Oriol
Oliver (KTM) completed the top
five overall.
