Alessandro Lupino to participate in the first two outdoor nationals in the USA

The MRT Racing KTM Team will be at the start of the USA National motocross championship with Alessandro Lupino. Thanks to the support of KTM, Just 1 and Forma, Alessandro Lupino, rider of the MRT Racing KTM team, will participate in the first two races of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship 2021.
The first event will be held on Saturday 29 May on the Fox Raceway National track in Pala, California; the second is scheduled for the Saturday after (5th of June), at the Thunder Valley Motocross Park track in Lakewood, Colorado. Lupino will be riding the KTM 450 SX-F, with the number 177.

“It is a great opportunity for me – explains Lupino – to make my debut in the USA National, one of the most followed championships in the world, and I want to thank for this KTM, my team, and the FMI (Italian Motorcycle Federation) which in few days allowed us to obtain the necessary permits from the AMA federation. For me these will be two important race tests before the start of the MXGP World Championship, scheduled for June 13 in Russia, but my goal is also to try to represent the Italian motocross in the best possible way: I would like to do great races! It appears that both the events will be open to public; I don’t know the Pala track, while in Lakewood I raced the MX of Nations in 2010: it is a spectacular track, fast but also technical”

If anyone seems like a candidate, it would be the guys on the Beta's... The bike seems good, but more actual "racing" would benefit the team for sure.

They'd have to get an exception for the production rules, bikes doesn't even exist... There are 8 of them i think.

He will do fine, the “killer” for Euros is the humidity and there will be none. He had plenty of top 10s in his shortened season and I think he even had a podium in one moto. I don’t think he’ll crack the top 10 but I also would not be surprised if he did.

Not a slam on him, it's tough to race US racers in US, that's all. Same goes the other way. Especially Pala where everybody knows the track so well and he'll have to figure it out in no time. I hope the best for him.

OK, so now you and the moderator post something funny, spot-on and perfectly harmless, and even that gets censored...
Gets better and better.

Looking at the preseason results i see quite a drop on Lupino's behalf from last year. I wouldn't be surprised if he would score 30-35th place finishers...

In the United States? No chance Lupino finishes that low here. He can handle points-scoring guys like Rodbell, Schock, etc.

Ha, we’ll see about that. My bet is somewhere around 12-18th.

Did anyone catch on pulp the other night that if they have to postpone the races anymore, they are going to cancel the season, so next year they would be back to a normal schedule.
