Joshua speed wins an Imola classic
An 11-lap thriller was decided on the final lap, when Riccardo Russo (Trasimeno Yamaha) made a lunge on Joshua Day (Kawasaki Revolution Racedays) but ran wide exiting the Acque Minerali corner, and American Day was left to hold his pace and nerve and win his second race of the season.
Russo was second across the line and Jed Metcher (MTM-RT Motorsports Team) third. Nicola Morrentino (Elle2 Ciatti Yamaha) was fourth, Michael van Der Mark (Ten Kate Junior Team) fifth, as the top five were covered by only 1.744 seconds. Romain Lanusse (MRS Yamaha) was only ninth today.
In the championship rankings Metcher has 117, Day 102, Lanusse 101 and Van Der Mark 87.
