Strong debut for Hungarian-American rider Rossi Moor with Team Cardoso at Misano
The Misano Adriatico weekend marked an important milestone for Hungarian-American rider Rossi Moor, making his debut with Team Cardoso in the FIM JuniorGP Moto2 category.
Changing teams always requires an adaptation period, with new methods, dynamics, and ways of working. Rossi, however, managed this transition with determination and speed.
From the very first free practice through to Qualifying 2, he consistently improved his lap times, working closely with his new team to fine-tune the bike setup.
Misano is a demanding and technical track, and Rossi faced the additional challenge of never having tested here before. On top of that, on Saturday night he fell ill with a fever of 38°C (100.4°F) and arrived at the circuit on race day in less-than-ideal physical condition. Despite this setback, he decided to race and pushed through with grit and determination.
On the very first lap, at Turn 2, Rossi was forced to brake hard and avoid several riders involved in a crash right in front of him. This incident cost him 11 seconds compared to the riders who managed to escape the chaos. Despite such a heavy time loss, Rossi recovered and finished in 14th place.
His race pace was impressive, matching the lap times of the group fighting for 7th–8th position, suggesting that without the incident he could have battled for a top-10 finish.
Overall, this debut with Team Cardoso can be considered extremely positive: Rossi demonstrated both speed and adaptability, proving his fighting spirit under tough conditions.
The next challenge will be the penultimate round of the season, in Barcelona during the first week of November, where the Hungarian-American rider is eager to continue his growth and progress.
