After a successful youth career, which involved multiple moto wins in the EMX125 and EMX250 class, Italian rider Ferruccio Zanchi has stepped up to the MX2 class in 2024 under the Team HRC awning.

Coming from Florence, the youngster was seen as the perfect rider to restart the CRF250R programme and get Honda back challenging in the highly competitive MX2 series. Initially, it will be a tough ask for the rookie but he has the full support and backing of everyone in Europe and Japan and will be helped as much as possible to make this venture as successful as the CRF450R.
