Fantic Factory Racing MXGP pilot Alberto Forato has made quite the start to his pre season aboard his Fantic XXF 450, claiming a podium finish at round two of the Internazionali d’Italia in Mantova, and wrapped up the prestigious Italian pre-season series finishing second overall in the standings. The Italian admitted that such strong results were not to be expected this early returning from his knee injury, but as many MXGP fans know a healthy Alberto Forato is certainly a factor within the MXGP class.

Words: Fantic Press Release

Alberto Forato “A great start to the season with a podium at the Internazionali d’Italia! We couldn’t really have expected this result, considering that I am coming back from injury, and the bike is still pretty new to me. But consistency and hard work have paid off, and I am really happy. We are only at the beginning, but I already feel good with my Fantic and with the new team. Now it’s back to work, and we hope to continue like this. Thanks to everyone for the great support!”
