GASGAS Factory Racing had a stellar weekend at the MXGP of Trentino with Standing Construct’s Ivo Monticelli finishing the race seventh overall in the highly competitive MXGP class. Isak Gifting also did well placing seventh and continuing his run of impressive results in the MX2 class. Isak’s DIGA Procross teammate Michael Sandner dug deep to deliver his vest ever MX2 class results as he put together strong 14-13 finishes on his way to 12th overall.
“Italian hardpack is a good surface for me! I really like this track and I felt comfortable all day. Qualifying was good, third place and I knew that with some good starts I would run top 10, and I did. Ninth and eighth in the races, this is where I should be. I’m in a good spot now and I’m excited for the last two GPs.”
“Another good day for me today. I felt good in the races and felt better as the races went on. I passed some really good riders today and seventh overall is a good result on hardpack for me. And I learned a lot today and we can apply this for Wednesday. We’ll keep working and finish the season strong.”
“Awesome day for me today. Good flow and a good feeling in time practice. I was a long time on pole then in the end sixth, so this was really good for my confidence. First moto, good start in fourth and then I passed Watson for third. Unfortunately, Watson jumped into the side of me and I crashed hard but I’m okay! I finished 14th with a twisted clutch lever, so not too bad. Second moto, another awesome start. I was third for a couple laps and finished with a solid 13th place for 12th overall and my best results ever!”
Both Standing Construct GASGAS Factory Racing and DIGA Procross GASGAS Factory Juniors return to action at the picturesque Pietramurata venue on November 4 for the penultimate round of the FIM Motocross World Championship.
