In MX2, Ferruccio Zanchi, fresh from his challenging home Grand Prix in Montevarchi, finished the morning timed practice session in tenth place. After a strong start in qualifying, the Beddini Racing Ducati MX2 Factory Team rider crashed on lap two, rejoining in last place. However, the race was red flagged due to another crash, and on the second start, Zanchi managed to move close to the top 10, crossing the checkered flag in 11th place.
After finishing 9th in both, free and timed practice sessions, Simone Mancini, aboard his #97 Desmo250 MX machine, got off to a great start in the first heat, moving up to fifth place by the opening lap. Fourth after three laps, Mancini battled with the leading group throughout the race, finishing fifth, just shy of third place.
