EASYKART 100 - VALORI TAKES ADVANTAGE OF GIACOMELLO’S STOP

Alberto Cavalieri, who qualified ahead of Giacomello, Valori, Fossati and the excellent Blasutto, spurted from the pole position. During the flying lap, Davenia had to withdraw owing to a wet spark plug, while Cavalieri was extremely fast at the green light and sprinted ahead of Valori, Giacomello, De Berardinis, Blasutto and Fossati. The first drivers fell victim of the scrimmage after a contact between Boracco and Bonacina, who were able to continue their race, though. At the end of the 1st lap, Giacomello overtook Valori at the Ciack bend, while Blasutto and Giacomelli had a contact in the course of the following lap: they had both to withdraw from the race. Giacomello continued his climb overtaking also the leader Cavalieri during the 3rd lap. In the course of the 5th lap, Giacomello was at the head of the race with a lead of 1” over Cavalieri and Valori, who were virtually racing head-to-head. Andrea De Berardinis was 4th leading a compact group formed by Fossati, Colombian Sala, Villa, Severino, Szczepanik, Guffanti, Rovaris, Francesca Linossi, Korczynski and the American Joeffry Amaya. During the 6th lap, Fossati passed De Berardinis thus conquering the 4th position, while Valori was still in hot pursuit of Cavalieri. In the 9th lap, Valori launched his attack against Cavalieri overtaking the driver of the Arrow team at the Ciack bend. During the 10th lap, Giacomello was leading almost 4” ahead of Valori and Cavalieri. Fossati was in the 4th position, leading the chasing pack followed by De Berardinis, Severino, Sala, Villa, Guffanti, Szczepanik, Rovaris, Linossi and Barri. Between the 14th and the 16th lap, the fight for the 2nd placing began again: Cavalieri overtook Valori, but the driver of the Fm Competition team reacted quickly and managed to get back ahead of his rival. Cavalieri tried once more along the varied track and once more Valori reacted to his attack. Fossati capitalized on this duel, getting almost behind his rivals. But a dramatic turn of the events occurred just 2 laps from the finishing line: owing to the breaking of a reed, Giacomello was forced to park his kart on the lawn. Thus, Valori took the lead and managed to cross the finishing line ahead of Cavalieri at the photo finish. For Valori, this was a victory he couldn’t hope for up to Giacomello’s withdrawal, which enabled the Lombard driver to reap once more the honours already conquered in 2003 in Ala di Trento. Christian Fossati climbed the 3rd step of the podium after an excellent race among the leaders, while Colombian Martin Sala ended up 4th. Towards the end of the race, Giacomo Guffanti capitalized on the scrimmage between Severino, Szczepanik and Villa conquering the overall 6th place and the 5th place among the Italians. The final scrimmage involved also Rovaris, who was forced to withdraw while being 9th. Severino ended his race with an overall 7th place (6th in the Italian results list), followed by Villa, Szczepanik, Francesca Linossi, Korczynski, Barri, Amaya, Angonoa, Ticozzi, Cuadriello and Dalton.
