|  | With just one round remaining in the 2010 MX3-GP World Championship Spaniard Carlos Campano is extremely close to his maiden world title which will make him the first rider from his country to covet the exclusive FIM prize.
The former MX2-GP and MX1-GP rider was able to break into the top half of the leader-board on numerous occasions in the past four seasons before diverting his attentions to the Open Class MX3-GP contest, (run with a separate calendar and alongside the MX2-GP feeder European MX2 Championship). Campano could deliver the first major accolade for the innovative reversed cylinder fuel injected 2010 YZ450F which he has been campaigning within the confines of his private Team Yamaha Andalucia. He has also enjoyed the valuable technical input and support of the Yamaha Rinaldi Research and Development team (YRRD) with his kitted machine.
Campano initially entered the MX3-GP series in emphatic fashion by winning both motos at the Grand Prix of Portugal. Since then the 24 year old has taken an impressive six rounds from a total of ten and nine moto victories. The twelfth and final meeting will take place this weekend in Geneva with Campano boasting a 32 point advantage and just 50 up for grabs.
"At the start of the year my goal was to be riding in MX1-GP but when I saw that a place would not necessarily be guaranteed I looked at attending the first round of the MX3-GP series in Portugal. I won both races and then together with my sponsors and my team we decided we would stay and push for the championship," Campano explains on his commitment to the series. "Yamaha and particularly Yamaha Motor Spain have given me good support with material to go for this title and I hope it will have a happy end," he added. |
