Moto2: SDK Endures “Toughest Weekend Of The Season” At Mugello
A bruising weekend in Mugello for the American Racing Team as early contact hindered Sean Dylan Kelly’s race whilst Rory Skinner was forced to sit out due to injury.
It was a difficult start to Sean’s weekend in Mugello as he suffered from an arm problem early in the first session. Despite his physical issue, he improved on by two seconds across the practices to finish combined 22nd.
