Risk Racing supported Athletes , Shaun Simpson , Factory KTM , Zach Osbourne .Bike It / Dixon Yamaha and KTM , Junior Team rider, Jeffery Herlings, enjoyed major success at the Italian , sand circuit
It was Jerrery Herlings, who made the Holeshot and battled at the front of the pack before his front end washed out in the deep sand, although he recovered to finish a credible 6th position.
The Risk Racing Distributor for Netherlands, RGMX Products, Support Jeffery with null Gate and Palm Protector products, have watched this young “star”, develop throughout his youth career.
Collecting second place in the second Moto, was enough to claim a podium result and lift the KTM rider to 3rd place in the World Championship.
Zach Osbourne , went 5th – 6th on the day , which keeps Zach in the title hunt, the Yamaha ace was fast all weekend, but found passing difficult in the deeply rutted corners.
Only 19 points of third place in null chase, the American will only get faster as the season develops.
Shaun Simpson , rode through the pain barrier in Italy, still suffering from a serious finger injury, the young Scotsman is on a “Damage Limitation” exercise.
“Top ten finishes is all I can hope for at the moment, It will be another two or three weeks before the power returns to my hand, until that happens, I have to focus on taking as many points as possible. Quoted the KTM racer.
Shaun’s 6-7 results on the day , will stand by him in the latter part of the season, currently 7th position in the GP points table at this point, we have yet to see the best from Shaun.
