Lupino beats Cairoli in Race 2 and Ducati celebrates first overall win in motocross

The desire for redemption was great and in the end Alessandro Lupino managed to take his revenge, winning Race 2 in Ponte a Egola, at the Tuscan round of the Italian Prestige in the MX1 category. A success marked by consistency for the Ducati bearer, who was able to get the better of the legend, namely Tony Cairoli.

In the second heat, the two raced separately to such an extent that only six riders were not lapped. Lupino dictated the pace with Cairoli attached to the exhausts of the Fiamme Oro bearer. With less than five minutes to go, however, the rider from Patti was able to place the attack that seemed to be a winner, but the Viterbese was able to a respond, taking advantage of a small smear of 222.

Lupino therefore celebrates his triumph in Race 2 ahead of Cairoli, giving Ducati a dream one-two at Ponte a Egola. Not only that: by virtue of the results of the two races, the Borgo Panigale manufacturer also celebrates its first historic overall triumph in motocross with Lupino the new leader of the tricolor championship.

Completing the podium was the Honda of Giuseppe Tropepe.
