Gara 2 intensa, emozionante ed incerta sin sotto la bandiera a scacchi quella della classe MX2 che sul tracciato americano del WW Motocross Park di Jacksonville, in Florida, ha chiuso il suo diciassettesimo round della stagione 2017.

E’ ancora Thomas Covington (Husqvarna) il più veloce al via, il secondo holeshot della classe MX2 è suo.
A rovinare la festa dell’americano della Husqvarna è però nuovamente il connazionale RJ Hampshire (Honda) che con la stessa traiettoria esterna usata da Eli Tomac, passa in testa prima che si concluda il primo giro. T

erzo si posiziona Pauls Jonass (KTM), che rimedia all’errore della prima manche con una buona partenza mentre Jeremy Seewer (Suzuki) non è velocissimo in partenza e si posiziona ottavo. 

La gara, dalle prime battute, è tiratissima. Thomas Covington (Husqvarna) tenta di tutto per arginare il ‘gap’ che c’è tra la sua Husky e la Honda di RJ Hampshire ma i ritmi sembrano diversi e, almeno nelle prime battute, RJ Hampshire (Honda) è più veloce.

Anche Pauls Jonass (KTM) guida un po’ al limite, si capisce dagli errori che commette nel tentativo di ricucire sui primi due e fatica nel mantenere il ritmo dei primi due piloti.

Superata la metà di gara, Thomas Covington (Husqvarna) non sembra essere così incisivo come in nella prima manche e ad approfittarne sono i due alfieri della Suzuki Hunter Lawrence e Jeremy Seewer che con un lavoro di squadra si portano prima davanti a Pauls Jonass (KTM), e poi raggiungono l’americano dell’Husqvarna.

Thomas Covington (Husqvarna), consapevole della sua condizione, tenta un allungo per staccarsi dallo scarico un ottimo Hunter Lawrence (Suzuki), l’australiano però è come un ‘toro che vede rosso’ e non molla un metro all’americano. A cinque minuti dalla fine lo sorpassa e tira la volata al compagno di squadra Jeremy Seewer (Suzuki) che, a sua volta, passa senza problemi Thomas Covington (Husqvarna).

A due giri dalla fine la coppia della Suzuki prova il colpaccio e tenta l’aggancio a RJ Hampshire (Honda).

L’ultimo giro è al cardiopalmo ma niente a fare per Hunter Lawrence e Jeremy Seewer, RJ Hampshire (Honda) resiste e per qualche decina dimetri va a vincere il GP di casa.

Per gli italiani, Michele Cervellin (Honda) è 12° ma sul traguardo è protagonista di una brutta caduta, speriamo per lui niente di greve. Morgan Lesiardo (Kawasaki) chiude al  18° posto.

Gara 2 della MX2 si chiude con la vittoria di RJ Hampshire (Honda) protagonista di una solida doppietta, Hunter Lawrence (Suzuki) è secondo, mentre in terza posizione si piazza Thomas Covington (Husqvarna).

In classifica di campionato, Pauls Jonass (KTM) continua a guidare la classifica ma il suo vantaggio su Jeremy Seewer (Suzuki) si riduce a 40 punti, con due gare a termine del campionato. Thomas Kier Olsen (Husqvarna) guadagna una posizione e sale al terzo posto.

Prossimo appuntamento con i FIM Motocross World Championship 2017 è fissato per il prossimo weekend in Olanda, sul tracciato artificiale di Assen.
