Opening regional championship Mx Ribatejo 2020

Last Sunday, February 16th, the first competition of the Mx Ribatejo regional championship took place in Vagos, near Torres Novas.

144 riders were present in the different classes, enlivening a day that woke up with some fog in the morning.

In the practice of the 50 free class I qualified with the 1st place for the starting grid with a time of 01:14:039.

In the first heat, I managed to do the "holeshot" and kept a good rhythm, without making mistakes. I ended up finishing in first position.

In the second heat, I didn't start so well, but I managed to take the lead right after the first corner, finishing the race in first again.

Guilherme, for the first time to compete in the MX2 class, managed to qualify in training in 36th place out of a total of 46 riders, where only the first 40 qualified.

In the first heat, he finished in 33rd place and in the second heat, now more relaxed, he finished in 31st place, having made 32nd place overall.

The next stop of Mx Ribatejo will be on 03/15 at Sardoal.

I want to thank everyone who supports us, especially my father for the excellent work of preparing our Derbi.

Enjoy and buy a t-shirt to help with the octane.

A hug,

Nelson Augustine
