Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP's Romain Febvre raced to his first victory of the 2024 season in the concluding moto of the Italian international series at Mantova.
The Kawasaki rider had raced a solid third place in the first moto at the north Italian sand track before stamping his authority on the second race from the word go. Romain got the holeshot and the lead. The moto victory secured second overall on the day and also in the short two-event series for the Frenchman.
Romain Febvre: «It was a great day, especially as I went back home this week and didn’t ride my bike since last weekend. I got two good starts; in the first race I didn’t take any risks to pass Fernandez as there was mainly only a single dry line. The second race was easier as I got the holeshot and could ride my own race. It was another good weekend; I’m not at peak form yet but everything is going in the right direction. I'm enjoying racing after two months training in Spain and Sardinia and I have two more races this month before the opening GP; it’s always good to be behind the gate and racing is what I like best."
