Mahindra Racing win Italian Championship

MUGELLO: Mahindra Racing created history of sorts by becoming the first Indian outfit to win the season-opening 125GP Italian Championship on Sunday.
The talented Riccardo Moretti, starting from pole, pulled away effortlessly after a brilliant start.
For the next thirty minutes, he never had to check his mirrors as he clocked over a second-and-a-half quicker than the second placed Mantovani.Moretti waltzed to his first win for 2012. Moretti's team was nervous before the start of the race as he was returning after a break of three years. In the interim, he raced only for three events in the World Moto3 championship.
Mahindra Racing did well in identifying the 2009 champion as their premier rider and now it's up to them to put their collective heads down to work towards the title.
The team will now look forward to the next event in Imola after leaving the tough 5.2 mile Mugello circuit with a satisfying and historic win.
