round 4-2026
The main event of the weekend was the CIV Racing Night at Misano, where the 52 Racing
Team fielded Gabriel Tesini #4 and Nico Montenero #15 in the Aprilia RS660 Trophy.
The weekend started perfectly thanks to the outstanding work carried out by the riders and
the technical staff. Gabriel Tesini topped every practice session before claiming his maiden
pole position in the Aprilia RS660 Trophy while also setting a new lap record 1:42:8.

Nico Montenero continued his impressive development, improving session after session to
qualify seventh. Considering this was only his second race aboard the RS660, the result
highlights the remarkable progress made by the young rider.

Rain on Sunday completely changed the race. Tesini delivered a smart and mature
performance, avoiding unnecessary risks and finishing fourth to secure valuable
championship points and confirm his leadership on the Championship.

Montenero’s race ended before it even started after crashing during
the warm-up lap.

Ferruccio Lamborghini #28 Tam Revo completed the podium in third place, recovering
valuable points in the championship battle with Tesini and keeping the fight for the Aprilia
RS660 Trophy wide open.

A near-perfect weekend for Filippo Bianchi #7 Team MMP, who claimed pole position before
taking a victory and a second-place finish, further extending his lead in the championship
standings. Congratulation Filippo!

Mattia Virone #19 Team Extreme also impressed by qualifying on the front row in third
position. Unfortunately, he couldn’t convert his pace into results, finishing eleventh in Race 1
and seventh in Race 2.

Valentino Sponga #30 Team POS corse enjoyed an outstanding weekend, securing two
impressive second-place finishes. The double podium strengthens his second place in the
championship standings behind Spanish rider Perez, but the Championship is open and Valentino is very close to him.
