Ivo Monticelli close to the top ten in MXGP of Limburg

In the MXGP class, Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing’s Ivo Monticelli had a consistent, point-scoring day with two 12th place finishes for 11th overall at the fourteenth round of the world championship MXGP at Lommel.

Ivo Monticelli delivered a pair of consistent results at the MXGP of Limburg, placing 12th in both races aboard his MC 450F. Not quite making the best of starts in race one, he pushed forwards and shadowed a battle for ninth place at the halfway stage. The Italian went on to claim 12th in the moto. Race two was much the same and with a trouble-free ride, Ivo claimed another 12th place, giving him 11th overall.

Glenn Coldenhoff was absent from the MXGP of Limburg following his injury sustained at round 13. Unfortunately for the Dutchman, the compression fractures to two vertebrae in his back will take time to heal, bringing an early end to his season. The round three winner will now focus on a full recovery ahead of the 2021 season.

Ivo Monticelli: “Today was tough, but I gave my best in both motos and two 12th place finishes is a step in the right direction. I know need to focus more on my starts so that I can run with the top guys and know the pace. Overall I’m happy, but now I need to move into the top 10 as this is where I should be.”

Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing will next compete in the FIM Motocross World Championship at round 15 of the series on October 25, returning to the Lommel venue for the third and final time.
