The day was one of decisions regarding the different categories of MXGP and while the champion was crowned in the main category, Andrea Adamo in MX2 didn’t want to wait either and secured the world title. Romain Febvre won the second race of the MXGP in Italy today.
After seeing the title slip away from him in an unusual way, by finishing the first race early after a fall, Febvre (Kawasaki) wanted to show that it didn’t affect him and won the second race of the category in Maggiora.
The French rider, second in the championship, beat the Team HRC duo: Tim Gajser was second and finished the race 1.628s behind #3, while Ruben Fernandez was third, 6.011s behind. Jeremy Seewer was fourth and the best Yamaha rider on track, with Alberto Forato being the best with a KTM.
Jorge Prado (GASGAS), already with the title secured, finished sixth.
As for MX2 and with the title decisions possibly being settled in Italy, that scenario was confirmed, with Andrea Adamo (KTM) confirming the world title with one round to go.
Geerts (Yamaha) won the race and beat the winner of the first one, Simon Laengenfelder (GASGAS), with the new world champion finishing in third place.
