Salvini wins for Beta

Round 5 Italian Enduro Championship

8th May

Bologna's Alex Salvini won his first Italian Championship riding the Beta 430 RR 4t after a great battle with the Honda rider Redmoto Giacomo Redondi. The two challenged each other throughout the day, arriving at the start of the last special test a few seconds apart and after the treacherous Exreme Test was Alex Salvini won by six seconds while in 3rd place was taken by Manuel Monni for TM.

The schedule for the fifth round of the Italian Championship was three special stages repeated four times. The riders started at 8:30 am and traveled a few kilometers to the Enduro test before the out check. Following the check was the Cross test set on a hill and it was characterized by a grassy half and a rocky half before riders returned to the paddock and the extreme test, where rocks and logs took committed riders about three minutes.

Alex Salvini toped the E2 ranking while Redondo won the Junior and Monni was the best E3. The other day winners were Jonathan Manzi in E1, Matteo Pavoni in Youth and Pascal Rauchenecher in Foreigners. With the Enduro Italy it is also back the challenge for the X-Cup Maxxis-Honda Redmoto that rewards best rider on the extreme test: The fastest in Pievebovigliana was Alex Salvini ahead of Giacomo Redondi and David Soreca.

In the Italian Cup the winners were Alberto Capoferri (Cadets), Andrea Giubettini (Junior), Damian Llull (Senior) and Maurizio Lenzi (Major).
