Nicolò Bulega arrives at the home race as the championship leader, with a 31-point advantage over the Turkish rider Toprak Razgatlioglu, who was the absolute protagonist at last year’s “Marco Simoncelli” race. In the Supersport World Championship, another local rider, Stefano Manzi, leads the standings, while this weekend will see the debut of another rider from Rimini, Mattia Casadei, called to replace Federico Caricasulo in the Motozoo ME Air Racing team. Attention is also on the return of the Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team, the Rimini-based manufacturer that after 11 years is back in the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship, distinguished by riders Axel Bassani and Alex Lowes, currently tenth and eleventh respectively. Everything points to another weekend with a large turnout, aiming to surpass 70,000 spectators.
