Starting second in race one, Guadagnini fought with determination throughout the moto to finish third. In race two, Mattia started second again, with Jeremy fourth after a good start. In the opening laps the Venetian ignited the stands of Miravalle, as he battled for first in the early exchanges. He eventually made the pass into third under the chequered flag after 16 laps, earning him the right to climb onto the third step of the podium.
Mattia Guadagnini #101: “How cool! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I missed this feeling so much, both on the podium and with the bike. In the first moto, I got some arm pump, and in the second heat I took a few wrong lines, but overall I had fun. It was really nice. At the start, I was really excited and aggressive in the first laps – it has been a long time since I had this much fun. Let’s hope it’s the start of a great adventure. I’m happy, I’m really happy.”
