It was a day of decisions in the different MXGP categories, and while in the main category the champion was crowned, the truth is that Andrea Adamo, in MX2, didn’t want to wait either and secured the world title himself despite Jago Geerts got to win the second race. Romain Febvre won the second MXGP race in Italy today.
After seeing the title slip from his grasp in an unusual way, when he crashed out before the end of the first heat, Febvre (Kawasaki) wanted to show that this didn’t affect him and won the second race of the category in Maggiora.
The frenchman, ranked second in the world, 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 man on track, with Alberto Forato the best on a KTM.
Jorge Prado (GASGAS), already assured of the title, was sixth.
When it came to MX2, and with the title decisions likely to be finalised in Italy, that scenario was confirmed, with Andrea Adamo (KTM) confirming the world title with one round to go.
Geerts (Yamaha) won the heat and beat the winner of the first, Simon Laengenfelder (GASGAS), with the new world champion taking third place.
