Superbikes
Saturday – Three out of three for Michele Pirro. Ducati rider Barni Spark achieved victory in race 1 at Vallelunga, thus achieving his third success in a row in the Dunlop CIV. But what an effort. The race, interrupted by a red flag due to the fall of Alberto Butti (Ducati Barni Spark), was restarted over a distance of nine laps. A sort of Sprint Race, which provided excitement and entertainment. Roberto Mercandelli (Ducati Broncos) was in the lead until the penultimate lap, trying until the end to take home a resounding success, only to then have to surrender to the multiple Italian champion. In fact, Pirro followed Mercandelli for all nine laps, overtaking him on the penultimate lap. Place of honor for Mercandelli, who thus achieved his second podium of the season. An excellent result for a rider making his first Superbike races. Behind the two Ducatisti it was a battle until the photo finish for the third step of the podium, which went to Alessandro Delbianco (Yamaha DMR), who did well to get the better of Luca Bernardi (Aprilia Nuova M2).
