APRILIA RS660 TROPHY

Gabriel Tesini delivers another masterclass

Another dominant weekend for Gabriel Tesini.
Race after race, Gabriel continues to strengthen his feeling with the Team 52 Racing Aprilia RS660.
From Friday onwards, he topped every session before taking pole position with a lap time
comparable to those recorded in the CIV Sportbike class.

His race pace was simply out of reach for his rivals.
Sunday’s race confirmed everything seen throughout the weekend. After making contact with
another rider on the opening lap, fortunately without major consequences, Gabriel moved into the
lead and went on to take victory with a 7-second advantage.
Tesini further strengthens his championship lead and now holds a 34-point advantage over
Ferruccio Lamborghini, with only the final two races at Vallelunga still to be contested.

Nicolò Montenero continues to improve

A very positive weekend in terms of performance for Nicolò Montenero, despite the final result.
The Team 52 Racing rider immediately found a strong feeling with the bike from Friday onwards,
finishing free practice in second position behind teammate Tesini.
On Saturday, during a Q2 session featuring continuous improvements in lap times, Nico focused
effectively on race pace and secured second place on the grid, once again directly behind Tesini.
Unfortunately, on Sunday a technical issue with his Aprilia forced him to retire halfway through the
opening lap, just as he was preparing an attack for the lead.

Lorenzo Leoni makes his wild card appearance at Cremona

Lorenzo Leoni, supported by Team 52 Racing and competing at Cremona as a wild card, qualified
in twelfth position.
A difficult start dropped him to the back of the field by the first corner.
From that moment on, Lorenzo began an impressive recovery. With a series of overtakes and his
personal best lap of the Cremona circuit, he fought his way back to an excellent eighth-place
finish.

Ferruccio Lamborghini keeps fighting

A determined weekend for Ferruccio Lamborghini.
The Team Revo rider has never hidden the fact that Cremona is not one of his favourite circuits, but
he still managed to react strongly and secure third place on the grid, significantly improving his lap
times compared to Friday.
In Sunday’s race, Ferruccio battled corner after corner with Bosello, Mantovani and Andreotti and,
after 11 hard-fought laps, finished in fifth position.
He lost a few points to championship leader Gabriel Tesini, but further consolidated second place
in the championship standings.
