Bobryshev takes first victory of the season
Team HRC’s Evgeny Bobryshev started his season in the strongest fashion this weekend in Alghero, winning the first round of the Italian International MX series.
Providing the finale of a strong week of testing on the CRF450RW, Bobby resisted great pressure from 2015 MXGP World Champion Romain Febvre in a fight that went down to the last corner. Clinching the overall win, the Russian in his seventh season with Honda sends a strong signal of intent for 2016.
Gautier Paulin also raced at the weekend, finishing in 14th overall, whilst Honda Gariboldi Racing’s Tim Gajser was fast on the CRF450RW but finished 6th overall after difficulties in race one.
The MXGP season starts with the Grand Prix of Qatar on February 27.
