Lorenzo Savadori winner of STK1000 race
Lorenzo Savadori won today's FIM Superstock 1000 Cup race at Monza, that was reduced to 7 laps following the crash by Greg Gildenhuys (BMW Motorrad GoldBet) and the collision between team mate Sylvain Barrier and Argentinean Leandro Mercado (Team Pedercini) on the opening lap after the first start. Savadori showed again the affinity with his home track, getting a small margin in the last two laps over the fierce followers to secure a crucial victory after his difficult start of the season.
The race saw at times a 7-way battle up front, but the challenge for the two remaining podium places was a matter between Jeremy Guarnoni (MRS Racing Kawasaki) and Niccolò Canepa (Barni Racing Team Ducati) on the last lap. The 2007 Champion had a successful overtaking at the last turn, but the Frenchman managed to regain the position before the finish line.
4th place for Eddi La Marra (Barni Racing Team Ducati) - who got the holeshot at the restart and was leader at some point during the race - followed by wild-card Michele Magnoni (G.M. Racing BMW) and Matthieu Lussiana (Team Aspi Kawasaki).
