Yes, even the heat can stop the Red Team for the Flames' appointment as "hot" of this Cup STK. Faenza is, as the 'last year, very important goal for the season but not only is also a destination very dear to us as it finds its highest expression the character of our team.
without going into boring introductions and then come straight to the point we start from a few seconds before crossing the gate to the world circuit.
The caravan of motocross is like a coral snake, the colors stand out because of Kawasaki, KTM orange, red and yellow Honda Suzuki. A mix of cars and "camper" who sometimes call themselves (even insulting) to the rhythm of horn. At the cross field
not waste time and immediately scans the track course in motion!
The track seems to be really difficult, dry holes and treacherous land Faenza does not confer safety. AM does not matter ... The best is yet to come!
Here, then, that ended this round of testing, we strive for the evening which, from what they say, seems to promise very well. From cars and trucks come out bags filled with anything and kind: tents, grill, food, tables, chairs, mattresses ... From 'outside looks like a refugee camp!
But no! This organization is a pure, almost spartan, but maintains a discreet style!
The night, however, remains a sore point. In fact, the curtain Mauro is always the most complicated, as well as comfortable, so much so that someone relies on instructions ...
Andrea (Asnicar's father) took control of the "Gradella" and starts churning out sausages and slices of Coppone tape. The dinner began, or rather, it begins to toast those who mostly or c 'and who is not c' is (Arts Ed). Right from the start our Grazianone, who will return home for the night and then up the morning of Sunday, it seems like a good wine kindly sponsored Ciccio ... His face is in fact a portrait of 'joy as Bacchus in Roman paintings.
Flames Grill's dishes continue to fill the pork goodness ... While the thermos bottles of wine decreased ... Arrived the time of the digester our friend Beppe pulls out a homemade product that will delight the palate, tongue and everything! A walnut liqueur that is the end of the world! He did not have long life that bottle! C 'but it was also a Vodka ... There 's more! Over. To cheer the night we bring you Massimo (aka Ganz) and our Varan that seem to have problems in inflating their mattress for the night. Consuming operation as it is very slow but the result is satisfactory: after all the saints fall fate, David and Max go to bed peacefully.
Between one thing and one 'comes the other' one night 's joy in the group dominates, but fatigue begins to be felt so we you put in a tent waiting for the 'dawn, there' is need for alarm!
At the first light of morning, the faces are nothing short of shocked, needless to conceal the eyes "ATM" behind the glasses!
Breakfast is offered by Mauro and Ciccio and the time waiting for the rest of the "crew" does not seem to pass. Meanwhile, the track is in the process of 'irrigation but the gates will not open before 10 and 30 (crazy stuff). With comfort
see Grazianone get (signed veteran of the hangover from the Lambrusco) and Ari, closely followed by 'well known Fabio "bazzo bazzo racing.
L 'organization' s training collective is a bit 'to' Aw, Snap "in the sense that the information circulating in the paddock with confusion: who says" Turn "who says:" No, not now ... Now you ... "
not understand much ... The pilots are stressed and then take advantage of this is waiting time to "adjust" its motion for departure.
A sore point of this round of the trophy STK is missing the photographers for the first round: Elena has chosen to leave the sea, as blame, while Emanuele (professional photographer) will arrive just before lunch.
Unfortunately, so there are no images for the moments of bloody race 1 unless Always ask Mauro looking very closely by the runway edge or rather the track!
But let 's quest to tell' another episode Trophy STK:
drivers lined up behind the imaginary line (we did not use the pound sign) await the first sign of 15 seconds. Running engines roar, are beasts of the chain ... A few moments and here are 5 seconds and then gas to ¾ and look down. At the first corner, which gives the second part of salitone, Alex uses all the cavalry of his Kawasaki 450 hours after the high-performance work done to the clutch, followed by Varan that never disappoints with his 125. Take good too Marcello 'it on 125 even if starting on a wheel has penalized a little bit. Kawasaki 125 now you have to look behind because Santino uses very well shot of her 4 times that urges him on with arrogance just finished the climb. Mirko behind the push to gain ground on his back but Henry riding KTM does not leave absolutely intimidated by the detachment with the lead group.
Spectators stationed in strategic points of the path are not lost even a pass or a failure that is remedied in just a few meters and also allow themselves to go shouting 's encouragement for the pilot favorite. At the top of the table
c 'is the first change in position, waiting for David' s uncertainty and Alex goes to the command. Now he is dictating the pace, but in reality its 125 is also involved in the showdown with the largest 4-stroke. The two seem linked by a rubber band that stretches and contracts, and David seems to play with the driver designer Monster Energy: at every turn administers its own advantage by waiting for the false cure 'approach of the team mate to pick up speed and then stretch again. Santino
instead gives the rhythm imposed by the duet and skillfully manages the advantage gained in these three rounds. It 'just halfway through the race that Marcello accuses the physical stress of the comeback and you see outdated by Ciccio that begins to gain precious meters. The 125 green there is, at every turn is always trying to bite the tire of the Suzuki, but nothing to do, that this is the salitone the final position: the arms are at the limit and had to settle for Marcello (poor) fifth. Faenza is definitely a track that commits riders, and our 's have been in pretty dire condition. Then the factor-bike rider going to affect much the results of: rumors say that Marcello could divorce from Kawasaki and finding employment more attractive with the team along with fellow KTM Orange Asnicar. Only time will show the truth of these rumors.
This happens in the first 5 positions in the rear but the plot twists are certainly not lacking! Henry duels with Graziano, who, in the saddle for 'at a Honda 450, but not life easy for the driver in orange. Ari travel quiet in late position but this pilot, you know, prefer to express their talents in motocross training rather than Garette of these "professionals on Sunday! As mentioned earlier instead Mauro, the Good Samaritan, incites brawl all the drivers and I certainly would if he could picture ... A movie!
The race morning concludes with a 'good performance followed by Alex and David Santino, the first podium of his career for this' last!
Speaking again of the Honda Pilot in hand we have the scoop of the moment: Honda in the deck has become narrow, and photos captured by our professional photographer Emanuele reveal a particular Interest in switching to Kawasaki, but not limited to change even category! Pass it to the MX2 class. Once again we must rely on time to learn more!
Tired drivers and all the staff goes to the conference room where the friends of Guercino Motoclub organized a lunch excellent.
Air conditioning, drinks and dishes full of typical Emilia (although we are close to Romagna) are the relish to 'good company and the comments after the race. We also have the 'opportunity to chat with Emmanuel that tells us that he was very impressed by the way of making sport of our team and especially from 'harmony that show. The press loves us! We can not ask for more! After the refreshing lunch we head towards our camp and you're right about the second race ...
C 'are those who say yes, who is full as an egg, and who is already gone ... Nothing to do, race 2 but will not be not a big concern because the track is now dry and shows is clearly dangerous. Only a few will try to do a few laps but then the result will be the same at home!
Ends up a motocross event that it expected a year and that left as the last edition, a beautiful memory, adrenaline.
Once again thank those who gave us the opportunity to race in this track through his trophy, Fabio "bazzo bazzo Racing" but also the friends of Guercino that accompany us in these days of pure fun. A special thanks, we should do so, to Emanuel who faced the scorching heat to get us a photo (365 photos!) Really nice, next time we'll do the second run, we will certainly remember the wonderful pictures! Thanks to the availability prestataci Motoclub Faenza and thanks again to all participants who made an unforgettable weekend of motocross.
Red Flames ever onward!
the next guys!
