ENDUROGP RD05 & RD06 – CARPINETI – ITALY
TWO INCREDIBLE DAYS FOR WIL RUPRECHT
CAVALLO E PAVONI WITH A GOOD RACE ARE THIRD IN THEIR CLASS
The 2022 FIM EnduroGP World Championship continues its run and after a long break lasting more than a month from the GP of Portugal, the third GP of the season was held in Carpineti (RE) on 25 and 26 June.
A weekend characterized by high temperatures, a race with a very high level path and an incredible cheering of the over 20,000 fans who flocked to the Emilian-Romagna village to see the best riders of the world enduro scene up close.
For the occasion, the Motoclub Crostolo has designed a very technical and treacherous course of over 55 kilometers which started on Friday evening with the Super Test, which was followed by two days of races both divided into four tests: an artificial Super Test with hard and dusty ground and with sessions of stones and logs, followed by an Enduro Test just as hard and dusty, a Cross Test as spectacular as demanding characterized by hard, dusty terrain and numerous upheavals to then finish at the fourth and last special Test scheduled: a very difficult Extreme Test with hard, dry and dusty ground interspersed with numerous rocks
An extraordinary weekend for the “Pink Squad” of TM, which began in an exciting way already on Friday with the presentation of the new pink livery like the bikes of the Pesaro-based Company in the early nineties and ended in an even more exciting way with the victory of the Australian rider Wil Ruprecht who became the undisputed protagonist in the Enduro GP.
The Australia-based rider ran a race at the limit of perfection, touching the victory on Saturday lost due to a trivial mistake in the second passage, and then conquering it on Sunday at the end of a race conducted in an impeccable way and with the maximum concentration that earned him the top step of the Enduro GP and E2 class.
Wil Ruprecht will arrive at the next GP in Coimbra in Portugal again with the gold colored plate.
Excellent performance also for Matteo Pavoni, the reigning Junior champion, in his first year with the top riders, obtained an excellent second place on the opening day, recording three best times in the class in the twelve special tests up for grabs.
On Sunday the Brescia-based rider was unable to shine as he did on the opening day, finishing only in sixth place.
In the E1 class Matteo Cavallo collected an excellent fourth place and a sixth place on the final day of the home GP. On the opening day the Piemonte-based rider recorded excellent times and in Portugal, this weekend, he will try to improve the score of the Carpineti GP.
The Enduro Circus does not stop and after the Italian GP, Team and the riders are already on their way to Coimbra, Portugal where the fourth GP of the 2022 season will be held next weekend.
