Mahindra win 1st race of CIV Moto3 round 2

Rider Andrea Locatelli brought a tremendous result for Mahindra Racing Team in round two of the Italian National Motorcycle Racing Championship (CIV) by winning the first race from pole position and finishing third in the second race in Moto 3 class in Mugello.
Michael Rinaldi, the second rider of the team, finished eighth in the first race and sixth in the second.
Commenting on his performance, Locatelli said, "In the first race, I gave everything I had on the first lap and got a little margin that proved to be enough for the win. The second race was much more difficult compared to the first. There were ten riders battling for the win and it was a brawl for all 13 laps. Weather conditions were different so we had to adjust the set-up a bit. The team did a fantastic job on it."

Rinaldi said, "As Andrea Locatelli's performance demonstrated, the bike has great potential. As far as my bike is concerned, we sorted out the issues that limited our performance yesterday. I got a very good start and battled at the front. Unfortunately, towards the end of the race I lost some ground from the leading pack. I'm happy though, because in the second race, we were much faster than the first.
