The sixth and penultimate seasonal round of the 2010 Campionato Italiano Velocità will kick off the coming weekend on the “Misano World Circuit”.
SS: HOME CHALLENGE – At Misano there is going to be an amazing challenge between two home riders: Ferruccio Lamborghini (Yamaha – Media Action by Pro Race) and Roberto Tamburini (Yamaha – Bike Service Racing Team). The two riders, coming from the same region, are respectively in first and second in the Championship, divided by a 10-point gap. Anyhow, they will also have to face three veterans of the World Championship Ilario Dionisi (Honda – Scuderia Improve), Cristiano Migliorati (Kawasaki – Puccetti Racing) and Gianluca Vizziello (Honda – Velmotor 2000), who are chasing them in the standings. “I will try to attack Tamburini at Misano in order to get some extra points – stated Lamborghini – after the Moto2 experience in the World Championship I feel more prepared and I don’t hide the fact that I want to win the Title”. Tamburini has the same aim and he is recovering after the crash suffered at Silverstone whilst he was disputing a round of the World Championship as wild card. “The shoulder is still hurting a little bit – said Roberto – but I’ll do my best to put pressure on Ferruccio. The target is the victory”.
125GP: A FOREIGNER STRUGGLING FOR THE TITLE – Misano could crown the Czech rider Miroslav Popov (Aprilia – Ellegi Team), who could potentially win the Title with great advance thanks to his 24-point advantage over Armando Pontone (Aprilia – Junior GP). Among the two there could be Mauriello (Aprilia – Matteoni Racing), Tonucci (Aprilia – Gabrielli Racing), Gabrielli (Aprilia – Gabrielli Racing) and the two home heros Niccolò Antonelli (Aprilia – Gabrielli Racing) and Kevin Calia (Rumi 125 Gp).
STK 600: MASSEI COULD GRASP THE VICTORY – The Stock 600 as well has a leading rider, who could come back home from Misano with the crown of the Italian Championship: he is Fabio Massei (Yamaha – Piellemoto), who has a 36-point advantage over Lorenzo Zanetti (Yamaha – TNT Racing). Anyway, it will be better keeping an eye also on Lombardi (Yamaha – Martini Corse) and Fanelli (Honda – All Service System by QDP), who are third and fourth classified in the standings, and on Roberto Farinelli (Yamaha – Team Gomme & Service).
STK 1000: GOI AND VERDINI INVOLVED IN A DUEL – The outcome of the Stock 1000 is still uncertain, as Ivan Goi (Aprilia – Ecodem Racing) is leading just with a 5-point gap over Luca Verdini (Honda – Emmebi Team). Among the podium contenders there will be the winner of the last round, Matteo Baiocco (Kawasaki – Pedercini Team) and Danilo Dell’Omo (Suzuki – Suriano Racing). Even the performances of Muzio, Colucci, Della Ceca, Alfonsi and Giugliano will be worthy of being followed.
SUPERBIKE: THREE FELLOWS SEEKING VICTORY – The three Ducati riders battling it out for the Title are all challenging for the same team, Barni Racing. They are Alessandro Polita, Stefano Cruciani and Luca Conforti who are respectively in the first three positions of the standings, divided just by 24 points. Among the young promising riders, an eye must be kept on Danilo Petrucci (Kawasaki – Pedercini Team) and on Federico Sandi (Aprilia – Gabrielli Racing), winner of the last appointment.
