Milan report time – The Supercross show has been in EICMA MotoLive, even today, with the dispute for the FimEurope European title. Riders made their best, with the assignment of the fantastic public that have supported them since the morning.
In the SXLites class, Nick Kouwemberg (Honda J-Tech) is the absolute European Champion: he dominates the race after having passed his team mate Filippo Zonta, who takes the HoleShot TISSOT. Behind him it’s a bagarre: Francesco Muratori (Suzuki) with a block-pass overtakes Zonta, who falls down. The J-Tech rider jumps on his bike again and starts to recover all the positions until the second place, through breatheless passes, especially on Clochet (Husqvarna) and then Muratori himself on the final jump.
It’s a fight the Supercross class Final#1, the main class of EuroSupercross. The French Thomas Ramette (KTM), gains the Holeshot TISSOT and takes a strong advantage to be the leader until the finish. Behind him, Angelo Pellegrini (Suzuki), Bonini Davide (Husqvarna) and Bonini Matteo (KTM) try to keep the pace of the French rider, with Chisholm (Kawasaki) following them. The two Bonini crashed one each other and Matteo is unlucky: at the finish he is only 7th placed, while Davide is third placed, at Pellegrini’s shoulder and keeping behind the American.
In the Final#2 of Supercross Class, ramette is still in front from the start to the finish: followed by the Italians, he shows to have no scare of none, becoming so the new European Supercross Champion. Behind him it’s a real fight: the fastest is Marco Maddii (KTM), in second position until the last lap, when a recovering Matteo Bonini passes him. A series of attacks and counter-attacks that mean the third step of the podium, with same point of Davide Bonini and one point of advantage on Maddii. Second classified is instead Pellegrini thanks to the fifth position in the second final.
It’s pure show that one of SX125, won by Morgan Lesiardo (TM), who starts in front and resists to his followers’ attacks and especially that one by the French Stephan Rubini (KTM), who recovers and try to block-passes him, falling down in his attempt. At the finish jump Lesiardo is the new European champion in front of Yuri Quarti (KTM) and Nicola Bertuzzi (KTM), both of them protagonists of an exciting race.
