SCOOTER GP
One year passed after his last victory in Scooter 100 Big Evolution. It was May 2018, on the circuit of Ottobiano on that occasion, too: Matteo Tiraferri got the first position in Race 2. Then, a long fast until Sunday, July 14th, 2019, when coming back to the track near Pavia and tasting again the satisfaction of getting on top of podium, on an unforgettable day with Polini Scooter Team. The rider from Romagna, started with the second time, surprised everyone for his determination and self-confidence when going to lead the race and reaching the finish first in both race rounds.

SCOOTER 100 BIG EVOLUTION OPEN:
THE CHAMPION’S RETURN
In Race 1, the Dutch Sarik Roufs sprints first before all, but after the first brake he gets too long bend and paves the way for Corsi and Vignone. Tiraferri, starting from first row, getting quicker and quicker, first passes Vignone, then his team mate Corsi. Morelli and Starnone make intense the first parts of the race. Vignone is sanctioned with 20 seconds delay and moves back in the parade. All this while Starnone signs fast laps and recovers ground over the leading duo. He starts by passing Corsi, then Tiraferri. By crossing the line, Starnone slips, but doesn’t waste time and restarts with a resounding recovery, has the better of Corsi for the second position on a sprint, as Tiraferri wins lonely.
In Race 2 Luca Zani and Morelli are off like a shot. Tiraferri immediately wiggles out of the fray, passes the two pacesetters and makes off. Corsi and Starnone chase. Starnone manages to distance Corsi and assails Tiraferri too. Behind, Vignone passes Corsi who prudently takes the championship classification into consideration. On the last bend, Starnone tries to have a brake, but he is too slow, so Tiraferri doesn’t miss having seconds.
Day podium: Tiraferri, Starnone, Corsi.
