Nico Izzi Raced Our 2 Stroke! | Red Bull Straight Rhythm

A few months back, Nico Izzi joined us in our studio for an episode of the SML Show that arguably broke the internet. After so much positive feedback, Nico has committed to return to professional racing. That said, about a week before this year's Red Bull Straight Rhythm, Nico hit us up and asked for some help to race. So, we built up our 2023 Yamaha YZ250 and sent him to the race. Check it out!

So cool for him to get his life back on track..kid still has amazing talent 😎

[@bobbyrodrigue1985]

It’s really hard to face people after making it through addiction and getting locked up. I know it’s not easy, he probably doesn’t feel worthy at times. But he definitely is worthy! Good people do bad things, but when you can make through what he has been through, you typically get the best version of yourself on the other side. Anyway, we love you Dominique Izzi.

@swapmotolive I have got a huge new leval of respect for having Nico's back. You are a solid dude for doing that. Not only this. But also the interview with his whole story. I can't say it enough, solid AF Don. And I was legit stoked to see him charging like he was! That bike sounds immaculate!

Welcome home

[@sambuvca22]

Good for him!

[@sludge86]

He didn’t look very good at the straight rhythm, but everyone seems to be excited for him. He’s probably a good amateur rider.

[@nikkomtb]

Still a great style. Gear looked great too 👍

[@kochj0713]

Looks like the bike was working great! .. was it working well ? Any bogging?

[@merccrewlcab2385]
