Heat, humidity and mosquitos accompanied a fantastic new racing facility at Ottobiano, a 33,000 crowd and some memorable racing scenes in the eleventh round of 2017 MXGP in northern Italy and where Tony Cairoli triumphed for the fourth time this season. The Grand Prix of Lombardia saw the MXGP stars buzz around the tough and technical sand south of Milan. It was Cairoli who drew blood first with a 1-1 scorecard as Monster Energy Yamaha’s Romain Febvre came within just three points of making the box for the first time in a campaign that has now scratched away eleven dates from nineteen.
