Tony Cairoli’s new big challenge

Cairoli captain

On Saturday, September 24 and Sunday, September 25, Italy will take to the track for the Motocross of Nations. In Red Bud, USA, our riders’ bikes will be recognizable by the numbers 1, 2, 3 by virtue of the historic triumph achieved in 2021 in Mantua with Tony Cairoli, Mattia Guadagnini and Alessandro Lupino.

Unprecedented is the lineup summoned by FMI Technical Commissioner Thomas Traversini for the next edition of the Trophy. Confirmed the team captain, nine-time World Champion Cairoli, who will wear the Maglia Azzurra for the fourteenth time. Also summoned again is Mattia Guadagnini, capable of winning with Italy the Junior Motocross World Championship (2019) in addition to the MXoN 2021. The new element is Andrea Adamo, already on the podium in the 2022 MX2 World Championship and consistently among the best in the series. Alberto Forato has been designated as a reserve, having shown throughout this season that he has what it takes to compete on par with many top MXGP riders.
