MOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
News Racing

The Grand Prix of Brazil turned out to be a perfect one for MIVV, who placed  one of its flagship rider, Josè Butron, on the third step of the podium of the MX2 race.
It was a special day for the Spaniard, who was visibly moved to be on the podium and actually rode at the best of his skill on heavy terrain. In the first moto the KTM Diga Racing rider finished eighth, but in the second one he took the holeshot and managed to lead the first two laps. Searle overtook the Spanish rider, but Butron managed to keep the second position until the end, becoming the first Spanish rider to ever climb on the MX2 podium.

Josè Butron: “It’s like a dream come true! The Team and I have been working very hard since the beginning of the championship, but for one reason or another we have never achieved the results we deserved! Now we have made it to the third step of the podium, which is great to us and pays off the efforts we have been making so far. Thank you to my fans and sponsor without whom all this would not be possible!”.

In MX1 Guarneri ended up fifteenth what turned out to be a difficult week end for him. The Italian is far from where he should be, but he is eager to show great racing again next June 3rd in France, for the sixth round of the series.
