Starcross Mantova on Saturday
The free practice sessions for the Starcross took place this afternoon in a cold and wet Mantova. A culture shock for the riders who until now had mainly worked in warm weather! Compared to the announced drivers, there are some important absentees today. Neither Josh Coppins, Gathier Paulin nor Nick Triest (who was on the list of participants as Nuck Tiest) were missing.
Marc Dereuver on edge
It's still early days, but with a second place in the first free practice and a third place in the second, Marc Dereuver made an eager impression. The training pole went to Tanel Leok and Tony Cairoli respectively. Bas Verhoeven was also in good shape every time, Bas finished sixth in the second session. Ramon, Strijbos and Desalle especially took the time to explore the track.
