Italian MX

On Sunday we attended the second round of the Italian MX championships. Some very good GP riders were there, including former and reigning world MX1 champions, Italians David Philippaerts (2008) and Tony Cairoli (2009 – see picture). The former GP track at Castiglione del Lago was very scenic (Lee-Ann). Despite what the reader may think, Mike in no way engineered this remarkably fortuitous coincidence (of being at the right place at the right time). We actually just happened to see a MX poster in a shop window in Cortono – and discovered that the track was just 10 minutes away. That said, the hotel where we spent the night did not get the L-A stamp of approval....but that’s a topic for another day
