A day of testing for the Rosso Corsa team at the Misano World Circuit. Beppe Amato’s team and his rider Massimo Roccoli participate as wild card at the seventh round of the WorldSSP, a good opportunity to verify the potential of the team and of the six times Italian champion, who will be engaged in a week in the third round of the CIV SS at the Imola circuit.
In the morning Roccoli has disputed the first round of free practice and with a time of 1’41 “679 he finished in seventeenth place.
In the afternoon session the temperatures were much higher, with the asphalt close to 50 degrees. Massimo Roccoli and his team worked hard to improve the performance of their bike and to adapt it to the track conditions.
With a lap of 1’41″476 the six times Italian Champion improved his morning time and kept the seventeenth position in the classification of the two practice sessions.

Massimo Roccoli: “A more than positive day. Today I did a lot of laps and this was the most important thing, as I had to get back into the rhythm to understand what my physical condition actually is. This race will be just a test for us, as after the crash in Imola I had to get back on the bike as soon as possible. So it was and I am satisfied with my recovery. This weekend is marked by physical and mental recovery, because the fall was not trivial. The team did a good job and we are not that far from the leaders. Let’s see what happens tomorrow in qualifying ”.

Beppe Amato – Team Manager: “Apart from the heat today everything went well and we are very happy that Massimo has recovered. We basically have to fix our bike. We have some difficulties with the tires, but I am confident that tomorrow we can improve. I expect to be able to gain some positions in the Superpole. We are very happy to be here, we are working well and we are above all happy with Roccoli’s newfound physical condition, who has improved even if he is not yet at 100% in the second round ”.
