Jerez (Spain), September 20th 2015
Savadori (New M2 Racing Team Aprilia) close to perfect season after Jerez: world title with one point to go!
Extraordinary third place in Jerez for the talent of Cesena running with a fractured finger.
Like in the comics. In Jerez de la Frontera (Spain), the penultimate act of the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup, Lorenzo Savadori runs like a superhero conquering the lowest step of the podium despite the fracture of the first metacarpal of his right hand in training. A fortuitous accident that has precluded the participation of Romagna to traditional tests on the asphalt setting Iberian in the week prior to the event champion.
Lorenzo Savadori #32: "Great comeback, great weekend, I'm delighted. Now I can reveal, I ran the entire weekend with the fracture of the first metacarpal of his right hand suffered in training. I maintained strict secrecy about my health not to trigger a hypothetical alibi post race, the forced defection in preparatory test has complicated the trip to Jerez. Race exciting but extremely hard, I gritted my teeth, Tamburini deserved success. Good battle with Massei, no holds barred, good De Rosa to take advantage of the extension to second place. Missing just one point in mathematics winning the world title, we go to Magny Cours to complete the work. I thank all the guys from the New M2 Racing Team for their work, the Aprilia for the constant support, my staff, my family, the sponsors and all the fans"
One hundred fifty points in the drivers' championship Superstock 1000 FIM Cup for Lorenzo Savadori, twenty-five point lead on Rimini Roberto Tamburini (131 p.). Final judgment to the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours (France) on 4 October: to the delight of the world title, just a point to win.
