APPLAUSE FOR DIABLO ROSSO IN A WEEKEND PACKED WITH EVENTS
The excitement of Superbike began on Thursday 9 June at the Misano circuit. For that evening, the starting grid was turned into a real red carpet for the Superbike Gala Dinner.
A new event that had the merit of bestowing elegance, effectiveness and good taste on those who attended. Organised by the staff of Infront Motor Sports, Pirelli and Alfa Romeo supported the initiative, actively contributing to the success of the evening.
A long red carpet opened the road from the gates towards the starting grid on which four tables were laid, pleasantly decorated for each grid row. On the adjacent grass were over 2,500 candels: a lighting spectacle enjoyed by almost 300 guests including the teams, riders, photographers and press from all over the world, plus important guests and a large number of authorities.
An evening under the banner of worldliness, unforgettable for the original location, at which Pirelli had to be present.
On Sunday 12 June at San Marino circuit, Carlos Checa scored his third double victory of the season, staking his claim in no uncertain terms at the mid-way point to the possibility of winning the 2011 World Superbike Championship.
This is what the rider said as he sat astride his Ducati: “It has been a fantastic weekend. We expected to be competitive, but not at this level. We did the maximum and we have been able to achieve the maximum. The temperature was higher in race two, so we chose different Pirelli tyres, which turned out to be the right ones”.
