Also his team mate Tony Covena impressed a lot during the hectic race. The Dutch rider had to start from twelfth after a hard first day but had some good fights with very experienced Superstock 1000 riders. In that last lap he had the plan to overtake Jeremy Guarnoni but the EAB Racing Team rider just missed out on that chance and took his first top 10 score of the year.
Tony Covena: “We have had a very positive weekend. Only in the first session on Friday we had some problems but we worked very hard. The start of the race was good and I was close to the leaders. For some laps I followed Luca Salvadori before I could catch him. After that I was close to Jeremy Guarnoni and had a plan to pass him but he was too fast in the last part of the last lap. But I’m very happy with seventh. It’s my first top 10 and I had almost the same pace as Fabio. I couldn’t ask for more!”
