SCOOTER 70 EVOLUTION OPEN:

CORSI’S SHOW IS BACK


In Race 1, the Dutch Sarik Roufs is the quickest, but he fell head over heels during the first lap and so paved the way for Tiraferri, while Blando was chased by Corsi and Penzo. Daniel Penzo is very fast, but makes a mistake and leaves free way for Tiraferri, followed by Corsi and Blando. Behind the three leading riders, there’s a good fight between Castellini and Penzo, coming back. Tiraferri grows such an advantage so that he can obtain an easy win, after preceding Corsi and Blando.

In Race 2 Blando sprints before Tiraferri and Sarik Roufs, who wants to recover after the fall in Race 1. During the start phase Tiraferri and Penzo lose ground from the front group. Roufs takes control of the race and is followed by Blando, Castellini and Corsi, who comes back.
