Team Honda Maddii ABF Italia delivered strong performances at the fourth round of the Motocross World Championship held on the challenging sandy track of Riola Sardo. Both riders, Niccolò Alvisi in the EMX250 category and Maxime Grau in MX2, showcased significant progress and competitiveness, reflecting the team’s ongoing development this season. Their results at this demanding venue have reinforced the squad’s confidence as they prepare for upcoming rounds. Niccolò Alvisi impressed with his explosive starts, securing two excellent gate launches that positioned him well in both motos. He finished fourth in the first race and managed an eighth-place overall for the weekend, despite some fatigue in the second moto, a natural response given his current stage of preparation. This solid showing propelled him up to seventh in the EMX250 world championship standings, marking a notable improvement in his campaign. Maxime Grau also achieved a personal best in the MX2 class, finishing eleventh overall at a circuit that has not traditionally favoured him. The French rider’s two top-five starts demonstrated his growing rapport with the Honda machinery and his ability to compete strongly in the early phases of the races. Grau’s performance at Riola Sardo signals a positive trajectory for his season and the team’s competitive potential. Team Manager Marco Maddii expressed satisfaction with the weekend’s outcomes, highlighting Alvisi’s consistency and Grau’s breakthrough result on a tough track. He emphasised the team’s optimism moving forward, especially with upcoming races on circuits that better suit their strengths. The Honda Maddii ABF Italia squad now looks ahead to the next round at Arco di Trento, confident in their technical and athletic package to continue their upward momentum.
