Monster Energy Yamaha kicked off their racing campaign today in Sardinia and in front of 10,000 spectators at Riola Sardo for the first round of three in the Italian Championship. On his factory YZ450FM Steven Frossard took a decent third place in the Elite category and was chased by new team-mate Joel Roelants in fourth for what was the Belgian’s maiden outing in Yamaha colours.

Christophe Charlier recovered from a crash and passed almost twenty riders to classify second in the MX2 division on his YZ250FM prototype. Two more events of the Italian series lie ahead as the team use their time in southern Europe to prepare for the opening Grand Prix of the FIM Motocross World Championship in Qatar on March 2nd.
