In the same starting grid as the 8th World Supersport race of Misano (Italy), the 6th round of the European 600 Supersport Cup was held.
The leader of the FIM Europe Supersport Cup Alessandro Zaccone, after a quick but aggressive start, started to fall through the order before eventually being forced to pull into the pits with a technical problem. The winner was Axel Bassani, Zaccone’s team mate in San Carlo Team Italia: the sixteen year old rider finished the World Supersport race in 8th position. On the European podium with him, his compatriot Davide Stirpe and Ukrainian rider Ilya Mikhalchik.
WorldSSP will now head into the summer ahead of their next time on track at Lausitzring in Germany, as the intermediate class don’t travel to Laguna Seca for Round 9. With the title all to play for, the focus for the Supersport grid before Germany will undoubtedly remain on one thing: training.
