Iacopi and Prugnieres on pole for Faenza 1, Everts fifth!
In Faenza, Manuel Iacopi (EMX2T) and Quentin Marc Prugnieres (EMX125) took pole positions. The Italian Yamaha rider was just faster than compatriot Federico Tuani and Brad Anderson clocked the third fastest time. No Belgians or Dutch in this class. In the EMX125, Prugnieres managed to train faster than David Mraceras and Andrea Bonacorsi. Liam Everts trained fifth, making him by far the fastest Laaglander. Dave Kooiker (27th), Scott Smulders (30th), Cas Valk (33rd) and Ivano van Erp (35) still have a lot of work to do. This also applies to Yoran Moens (40th). Junior Bal trained 42nd and has to hope for someone else to drop out to take action.
