Baldolini powers to first podium with Power Team
Alex Baldolini was one of the stars of the Misano Supersport World Championship round over the weekend, scoring his and the Power Team by Suriano's very first podium. Thanks to the perfect work done by the whole team led by Antonio "Ninetto" Suriano the Italian, a rookie this year in Supersport, took the Triumph Daytona 675 machine back to the podium again after a couple of years with a third place.
Baldolini started from row 3 and immediately gained some positions to move up to fifth. and sixth place gaining a gap on the competitors of more than 2 seconds. Ahead of him Foret had to give way due to a penalty after the first turn and then Lowes crashed out, leaving Baldolini in third. The Italian maintained his advantage over Tamburini and took the chequered flag with a third place conquering the very first podium of his career in Supersport.
Alex Baldolini: "I'm really happy. This is the result of the great work done by the team even after some issues we had during practices. I knew about my potential with this bike and I hit the result I was hoping for. I kicked off really well immediately gaining some positions and I could get rid of some competitors boosting up the gap on them. When I knew that I was two places ahead, I fought hard because the soft tyre was starting to lose its performance. I tried to adapt my style to the situation and was able to contain Tamburini. It's a great satisfaction that helps me to be in fifth place in general ranking."
