Rubini confirms top 10 status in Italy

GP of Emilia Romagna (ITA)

Imola, Italy

MX2 2020, Round 8

In the MX2 class Team Honda Assomotor rider Stephen Rubini made it five top 10 results out of six races in Faenza, by going eight-eight for eighth.

The #118 came through the pack in both motos to round off a successful week of action, which moved him to just outside the top 10 in the MX2 championship. Team Honda 114 Motorsports’ Nathan Crawford had his best result of his rookie campaign, getting 11th overall and showing that once he gets to grips with these new tracks, he can battle with the top 10.

The MX2 guys had some good battles going between themselves, with all the riders trying their best to score points. Stephen Rubini had to work his way through the field each moto but on a track that was difficult to pass, his race craft was impressive. Bailey Malkiewicz is really getting his starts dialled and if he can keep doing that, I’m sure his end results will get better too. He fought hard alongside teammate Nathan Crawford and it was good to see Nathan have his best overall of the season.
After a tough week on a track that didn’t change too much, there were a lot of good moments across the classes and while Mantova will be completely different conditions, I’m hopeful that we can keep seeing progression from our riders.
