ROK Cup Italy and Italian Championship in Adria
TKART Staff
29 September 2020

[translated with Google]

It was a weekend with some twists in Adria with the second races of the Italian ACI-Rok on a wet track that gave a further shock to the rankings. The Adria race was for everyone a first step towards the upcoming Rok Cup Superfinal.

SENIOR ROK. GREAT LOCATELLI IN RACE 1, GAGLIANO' REDEEMS IN RACE 2
Bernardi seems predestined to win after pole and two victories in the heats. But during the first lap of race 1 it is Molinari who enters the top and in a close exchange of positions with Bernardi the two finish out, leaving free space for Gaglianò, Locatelli, Moncini and Simonini.
The race is thrilling and Locatelli prevails over everyone. In reality, it is Gaglianò who crosses the finish line first, but the off-site nose makes the leader of the two rankings (Rok Cup Italia and ACI-Rok) slide into fourth position. On the podium with Locatelli Moncini and Simonini climb.
In race 2 we run on a wet track and emotions are not lacking from the first lap with the winner of race 1, Locatelli, who finishes out and has to run in a comeback. The race in the lead is played by overtaking Gaglianò, Lady Muller, Gaglianò and Moncini.
In the end, Gaglianò deserves credit on Muller and Molinari. Locatelli goes back up to fifth, thanks to Simonini's penalty.
Gaglianò continues to lead the ranking of the Italian but the games remain very open, in consideration of the fact that at the 7 Laghi the assigned score will have a coefficient of 1.5.

JUNIOR ROK. ABBATE IN RACE 1 BUT THE RAIN MAN IS WORTHY
In the heats Abbate and Ianniello show they have something more than their rivals and also in race 1 they are the protagonists. Abbate wins ahead of Ianniello and brings the score back in Italian. Ladina is a good third, ahead of the wild Pedrini, Marconato, Megna, Larini and Panaev.
In race 2 the rain makes the first laps particularly sparkling, with Ianniello making a spectacular 360 ° at full speed and in the brawl behind the leaders there is a contact that knocks Abbate out of action.
Megna in the rain is formidable, he drives with a totally different pace from his rivals and a beautiful victory is going to open up that relaunches him in the championship.
The place of honor is taken by Pedrini, in the third race in the Junior and already fully at ease. Third is Ianniello, architects of a close fight with Donno, Marconato, Larini and Ladina.

MINI ROK. THE FOREIGNER PASSES
In race 1 Tarnvanichakul, Peebles and Hernandez give life to a funny confrontation that ends with a three-way sprint that sees the Thai Tarnvanichakul the winner.
The two title contenders, Prescianotto and Parmeggiani cross the finish line, fourth and seventh respectively.
The Australian Peebles took revenge in race 2 ahead of Hernandez, Prescianotto and Tarnvanichakul in a race on a wet track with slick tires.
Prescianotto must, despite himself, abandon the podium due to the off-site nose and drops to fifth place, behind Pancotti.

SUPER ROK. CICOGNINI TAKES EVERYTHING
Cicognini is the absolute star of the Adria round. The 2019 Superfinal champion takes home a noteworthy tally, scores pole, wins both races (on dry and wet tracks) and takes the best laps of both races.
Michael Muller is second in both races, ahead of D’Abramo in race 1 and Martinello in race 2.
Cicognini thus confirms his leadership in the championship and is a candidate as one of the favorites for the Rok Cup Superfinal 2020.
