ITALIAN PRO PRESTIGE ROUND #1  OTTOBIANO (PV)

JULIUS MIKULA IMMEDIATELY ON PODIUM!

Ottobiano, 8/9 March 2025 – After the World Cup, The Italian Pro Prestige also kicked off, he did it from the popular sandy track of Ottobiano (PV) Which Was Certainly an excellent test for the driver and motorcycs in the race.

Both present our boys, Julius Mikula and Niccolo Mannini have honored their commitment. The first to do well in the Elite MX2, the second to train in view of the first European EMX125 test next weekend.

In the timed tests on Saturday for both of them there were difficulties to face the sandy fund. Julius got the 5th time of his group, Nicky on 12th. Sunday things have gone better since the Warm Up.

For Julius the two heats have more or less traced the same script, not optimal start and a comeback race. In the first heat he held a nice pace that allowed him to go and take the second position and then keep it until the finish line. In the race two the start was even more difficoult buts did not discourage Himself and Started Operating A Series of over that led him to the finish line in third position. With These Excellent Placings Julius Has Risen to the Second Step of the Podium of the Elite Mx2 showing that he has excellent potential with joy of the whole team.

For Niccolo the first heat had started well and on the first lap, although in the race with his small Tm 125 in the middle of the 250, he was in fourteenth place. On the fourth lap, while in the same position, his bike had a problem that forced him to retire. In the second and last heat his start was good and for all thirty minutes of the race he fought a little over the fifteenth position. A spectacular fall without a consequence in the final made him lose positions and saw him close in 23rd position. Definitely a training that will serve him for the next weekend.

The MXGP of Castilla La Mancha will be played next week in Cozar – Spain. It will be the second test of the MX2 World Cup and the first of the EMX125 European Championship. We will therefore see both our drivers in the race who have shown that they are very ready to battle.

Julius Mikula: “The weekend in Ottobiano was not the simplest for me. In the first heat motorcycles I did not have the best beginning and I had to fight to go up the ranking. I managed to reach second place, but by now the leader had already built a great gap. In the race two unfortunately I made a mistake and I had to reassemble once again. I placed in third place, which assured me the second place for the weekend. Despite the difficulties of Saturday, Sunday proved to be much better. I want to thank my team, my family and all those who support us! “. 

Niccolo Mannini: “All in all it was a good weekend. We used the opportunity to make a good training and so it was. On Saturday in the tests everything went quite well. On Sunday in the Race I Made a Beautiful Departure But While I was Battoning at the center of the Group, The Motorcycle Had a Problem and I Redited. In The Second Heats I Managed to Fight Beyond The Fifteenth Position Again But in the End I Took a Nice Risk Falling Before at Jump and I Lost Positions. Now we project ourselves to the first test of the European Championship. We are ready and we know we have a good package. I thank the team, the TM and all those who support us ”.
