Team Report:

 

The second round of the Italian Pro Prestige took place on the historic Cingoli (MC) facility in the Marche region. A two-day event that put men and equipment to the test. The variable weather conditions also affected the race terrain which, especially on Sunday, was difficult for everyone but in the end it was a beautiful two days of real motocross.

 

Yago Martinez and Brando Rispoli were both competing in MX2, the opportunity arose for Brando to race with the 250 2T and he didn’t hold back.

Since qualifying on Saturday it was clear that things would go in the right direction, first place in his group for Yago and second for Brando. Also an excellent starting position for them.

 

At the start of race one on Sunday, however, both were unable to get a good start and found themselves more than half of the group. Yago was the author of a fantastic comeback which, as the laps passed, led him to grab third position, coming within a short distance of the first two. Brando also moved up several positions, already showing a good feeling with the bike, and sixth place for him at the checkered flag.

 

In the second heat another bad start for Yago while Brando immediately got behind the race leader Lata. While Yago was making a comeback, Brando held second position for many laps, then as the minutes passed he dropped, losing ground to finish in fourth place. Yago was once again very fast and even overtook Brando with a few laps to go and then went on to finish second.

 

With these results Yago climbed to the second step of the podium in the Elite MX2 while Brando went on to win in the Fast MX2. A result that ennobles the work of the team in symbiosis with the Pesaro company. Now a short break before diving back into the World/European Championship with three consecutive stages in Spain, Portugal and France starting from the weekend of 4 and 5 May.

 

YAGO MARTINEZ: “It seems like things are getting better as the days go by. I’m starting to feel strong and fast on the bike and we showed it this weekend. The starts weren’t on my side, but I gave 110% on the track and we made two good comebacks. What else can I say, my mouth was watering, but now we will continue training for the next races. Thank you!”.

 

BRANDO RISPOLI: “The track race was really excellent, despite it being my first in 250 I immediately managed to get myself up front on Saturday, coming close to pole position. Sunday was complicated, race one with a disastrous start, I was 37th, then I found good lines I also managed to attack fifth but then I ran out of tears and had to take off my glasses, I’m still happy with the comeback I made up until in sixth position. Race two, starting around 5th position, I climb to second and manage to maintain the position for almost the entire race, I finish 4th aware of the fact that the hours I put in on the 250 cannot even be defined as “hours”. I have to thank TM Moto, Robin Caldelli, Brian Tiso, Giovanni Adamo, Massimiliano Costantini, my moto club Torre della Meloria, Ivano Zanatta, Simone Lorenzoni. I hope to compete in this championship again soon, it was a lot of fun.”
