“It was a great race. I'm very happy with how they drove these guys. I saw an extremely clean competition from a sporting point of view, very interesting, with really incredible performances. They kept a pace on the 1’40” throughout the race, using a bike that is basically standard.

We are therefore very satisfied with the work that Michele Pirro and the entire Garage 51 structure are carrying out. A work that is extremely important for us, because it contributes to the continuous development of the Panigale V2, which is the gateway to the world of Ducati super sports bike.

It is really significant to be able to see this bike express itself in a racing context like this, and we are sure that there will be further developments and novelties in the future.

I congratulate everyone: it was a wonderful first weekend. As they say, those who begin well are halfway through the work."

Full of emotions also race 2. After the victory obtained on Saturday Jacopo Hosciuc doubled making his also race 2 and hoisting himself to full score at the top of the general classification. On the podium with him Devis Bergamini, second and Pierfrancesco Venturini, third.

A cunning race that led by Hosciuc who after trying to tear on the opponents studied them until the last corner when with a peremptory entrance to Misano 2 he “burned” Bergamini, going to repeat the success of race 1. To report both Bergamini and Venturini have suffered a penalty for track-limits, a fine that in reality has not changed the final ranking. For Devis Bergamini 20 golden points and the awareness, after the pole position obtained in the tests, of having signed with the time of 1’40’’246 also the fastest lap in the race, all elements that allow the driver of the Bull Bikes - WRS team to look with optimism at Mugello.

Unfortunate instead Pierfrancesco Venturini, who ran in not perfect physical condition, which is why he could not play all the cards he had. Emanuele Vocino and Kevin Sabatucci finished in fourth and fifth place respectively!

Unfortunate the Sunday performance of the Spaniard Jesus Torres and the Hungarian Bence Kescskes, the first slipped to Misano 1 while fighting in the leading group, the second stumbled in a fall at the curve of the Chariot, for both, however, the satisfaction of going back in the saddle closing respectively the race in fourteenth and fifteenth place.

Excellent performance by the Portuguese Martim Marco who after the tenth position of race 1 got an excellent sixth place in race 2 in front of Martin Galiuto and the Hungarian Farkas, also growing the actions of Raffaele Tragni, ninth at the finish line despite being still suffering from the after-effects of a high side remedied during the tests, closed the top ten Diego Goretti. Points also for the Polish Jacub Belak, Vito Iconomu, the Indian Emmanuel Geoffrey and the aforementioned Torres and Kescskes!
