Outstanding podium for Enea Bastianini

Amazing San Marino Grand Prix for Italtrans Racing Team. In the first one of the two GPs at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, the team proved to have the right skills to be a ruler with an incredible Enea Bastianini on the 3rd step of the podium and a promising Lorenzo Dalla Porta for the first time in the points.

Started from the second row on the grid with the 5th best time, Enea had a very good race despite stomach problems. He fought for all the 25 laps in the top three, making a small mistake halfway through the race, managing to stay on his Kalex. He increased the pace, pushing and catching Bezzecchi in the final: with one more lap he would have surely finished 2nd. This is an important podium, thanks to which he strengthens the 2nd position in the standings, just behind Marini, ahead of 17 points.

Brilliant race for Lorenzo Dalla Porta at the end of a weekend of continuous progress, overshadowed only by a crash in the warm up. Thanks to the best seasonal qualifying, he started from the 5th row, taking over the 18th position and finishing 13th with a good recover. The first points of the year and another race at Misano are very auspicious.

“Unfortunately, I had stomach problems and so I wasn’t in good shape, but I pushed hard and managed to get the podium. Too bad for the mistake at la Quercia: the pace was good and I could have taken the first riders, but we were at the end and it was impossible to do better. It’s ok, now we are already thinking about next weekend”.
