Third place for Pignotti in opening Supermoto 2 Grand Prix in Turin

14 aprile 2008

Italian Attilio Pignotti launched his challenge in the 2008 Supermoto 2 class in style at the Grand Prix of Italy in Turin on Sunday piloting his KTM to third overall in the season's opening race.
The Italian was third and fourth for his podium place picking up a handy 38 points behind Davide Gozzini (Italy) and Adrien Chareyre (France) in first and second but with equal championship points. The result was very promising for Pignotti who is not yet completely fit after surgery to his left shoulder, which has hampered his physical training preparation.
 
Difficult conditions
The races were also difficult. Although the sun came out on Sunday, rain disrupted the program on Saturday and riders were not able to ride the offroad section of the track. Given the circumstances, Pignotti and the KTM Italy team were well satisfied with the positive start to the season for both rider and machine. The SMR performed well and had no problem with the settings.
 
Impressive performance
On Sunday Pignotti was able to gain a good position at the start of each heat and looked impressive on the track. His performance indicated that he will be one of the favourites for this year's title.
