Seven hours of pure adrenaline, 313 non-stop laps, 500 kilometers pushed to the limit. It was an unforgettable Saturday for Polini Team, who claimed overall victory and first place in the Derivate category, a true high-speed marathon at the Pomposa 500, a team endurance race dedicated to the Vespa
Following their extraordinary success in 2024, Polini has once again left its mark on this prestigious event, now in its 7th edition, reaffirming its timeless passion for the Vespa. A double win made possible by a flawless team consisting of Matteo Tiraferri, Filippo Benini, and Manuel Fulgeri, who dominated the race with precision and, above all, consistency.
The race featured three competing categories (Proto, Super Sport, and Derivate) with 28 teams and nearly 100 riders on the grid, setting an incredibly high competitive level. From the very first laps of the Pomposa 500, Team Polini took the lead, maintaining a top-two position and battling fiercely with Elma Factory Racing, a strong contender in the Super Sport category. Only on the final lap did the checkered flag confirm the win, crowning the Vespa in Polini colors as the race champion.
The three riders took turns on the Polini Vespa with fast rider’s changes and flawless refueling in eight pit stops, showing remarkable synergy and teamwork. The fastest lap times and technical precision allowed the Vespa to cover the full 500 km flawlessly, proving the reliability and strength of the Polini machine.
Polini Motori brings home a precious and well-deserved victory, achieved through a combination of technical expertise, vehicle reliability and extraordinary team collaboration.
