S4 Time Practice
The S4 class speaks Italian: the front row was dominated by home riders, with the top three all within the same second. The championship leader, Alessandro Sciarretta, will not take part in the race due to a scheduling conflict with a national speed race, leaving the field wide open for his rivals.
The best time went to Alessandro Morosi (Gazza Racing), who battled throughout the entire heat with Edoardo Bertola (KTM MTR Racing). The two riders, who are teammates in the CEV in Spain but compete for two different teams in the European Championship, put on a great show, with Morosi ultimately coming out on top. Antonino Achille Navarria (Honda) completes the front row.
