European Handy Bridgestone Cup:
the show goes on in Rjeka
The Automotodrom Grobnik welcomed the second round of the European Handy Bridgestone Cup.
Race 1
Strong domination of the Czech rider Martin Horky (Yamaha R1) followed by Emiliano Malagoli (BMW S1000RR) and Lorenzo Picasso, who raced this round with the second bike of Malagoli. A great gesture of fair play. In fact, during the practice, Picasso had a bad crash with significant damage to the bike.
The 600 class saw the win of Austrian Lorenz Jacob (Yamaha R6 – Austria) ahead of Italian rider Remo Marinato (Yamaha R6).
In the Lesser Impaired category Massimo Bacci won the 1000 class and Antonio Montoya the 600 class.
Race 2
A very hot Sunday saw the double win of Horky at the end of a lonely race. Second position for Lorenzo Picasso ahead of Emiliano Malagoli. At the end of this race, the Cup is still open with the Czech Horky as new leader ahead of Picasso by 13 points.
Another win for Lorenz ahead of Marinato in the 600 class. Same story for the Lesser Impaired category, with Bacci first in the 1000 class and Montoya in the 600 class.
