Fabrizio Bartolini #110

'During qualifying, I felt good but couldn't get a very satisfactory time; I was only 6th on the grid, 6 tenths off the leader. Unfortunately, the inside starting position penalized me. In race 1, I started sixth, overtook D'Addato, and maintained 5th place until the end of the heat, fighting until the end with Borella. In race 2, contact with another rider in the dirt section on the first lap caused a fall, forcing me to restart from behind. I closed the gap but didn't go beyond 8th position. However, my lap times were among the fastest. I finished the weekend with a fifth position in the Italian championship standings and with a significantly improved physical condition. Thanks, as always, to my team, and see you in Castelletto di Branduzzo for the last double event of the Italian Internationals.'

Nicola Ferranti Team Manager

'We are almost at the end of the championship, and we can say that we are satisfied with the work done so far. We were unlucky in some respects, but the team has grown a lot.

Too bad for Bartolini's fall in race 2, which compromised what could have been a great race. In S4, Arduini is maintaining consistency in his progress. See you in Castelletto for the final round.
