20161029 ECS Aragon Race-32 low

The European Classic Series ended with great success yesterday at Motorland Aragon in Spain.
Good weather, a fabulous track, perfect organization and an exciting race, were the ingredients that made this event a perfect finish for the DG Sports promoted cup.

After 4 hours of intensive and exciting racing, with only minor accidents without any problems for the riders, the winners were Hubin and Fastre from Team Force for the Maxi Classic class; Hollands and Schoens from Team 4Q Racing in Classic 1000, and Maestrini, Gabellini and Catani from Team Amici Miei in the 750TT class. 20161029 ECS Aragon Race-29 low
But the race was dramatic as an endurance race should be. Team Force, Team Taurus, Roadrunner Team and Neate Racing were all trying to beat Sweatshop Phase One II who was leading the championship after the first two races of the ECS. But Mertens and Simpson were strong and not willing to lose their lead. At about 12 minutes to the end, the Suzuki engine had a problem and took the team out of the race for the surprise of all other riders.    
With these Aragon results, the European Classic Series final classifications are the following:
Maxi Classic: 1st Neate Racing; 2nd Team Force; 3rd Team Taurus.
Classic 1000: 1st Aml Racing; 2nd Classic Boxer Endurance; 3rd 4Q Racing.
750TT: ASD 117 Racing Team and Amici Miei were the only contenders with the same points at the end.
Legend Class: 1st Team Taurus; 2nd Team Force; 3rd Roadrunner Team.
Classic class: 1st Neate Racing; 2nd Nocki Classic Team; 3rd Braghi Corse   
The Podium ceremony was, as always, a great and fun moment for riders and organizer.
