Team HRC MX2 all set for CRF250RW debut in USA

Scritto mercoledì 30 Agosto 2017 alle 22:34.

This weekend Michele Cervellin debuts the all new CRF250RW at the GP of the USA for round 17 of the FIM world motocross championship.

The Factory-spec machine is based on the new 2018 CRF250R which was unveiled recently in Lommel. Honda Racing Corporation has given the bike the works treatment, making it a highly competitive machine in the MX2 class.

WW Motocross Park in Jacksonville is another new venue on the MXGP calendar this year. The facility has only been open since 2013 but has been rated the number one motocross track in Florida by Moto Playground.

MX2 qualifying race starts at 15h25 local time on Saturday 2nd September.

I am really looking forward to riding in the US this weekend on the new CRF250RW. I had a really good start to the season in the fly away arounds so I am excited to head overseas again. I really like the power of the new bike, it is also much better off of the starts so I think we should be able to get a good start and then a better result from that. I am much better in my physical condition now too so I am confident that I am feeling good in myself and on the new bike.
