MOTOCROSS: IMPORTANT TESTS FOR THE APRILIA MXV 4.5 AT THE SWEDISH GP

Cedric Melotte and the Aprilia MXV 4.5 continue to collect encouraging data in the World MX1 Motocross Championships. At Uddevalle, the site of the Swedish Grand Prix, the Belgian qualified for the race with his 22nd place finish. He placed 25th and 23rd respectively in the two heats.

It was yet another important test of the performance and trustworthiness of the Aprilia MXV 4.5 in the international MX1 Motocross Championships. At the Swedish Grand Prix in Uddevalla, Cedric Melotte (official Aprilia Off Road rider) qualified for the race on Saturday with his 22nd place. Due to a few physical problems and poor weather, he preferred to direct his energy during the race towards the development of the twin from Noale on one of the most difficult tracks of the international circuit. Melotte finished the first fraction in 25th and moved closer to the point zone in the final fraction with his 23rd place finish.
