Lukas Malek succeeds in Pasiewicz in the golden register of the event.
In the final if there are no surprises regarding the aleadership, with Malek taking off, the fight for the podium is more intense than ever.
The reigning champion Karol Pasiewicz starts from the front row but can not contain the pressure brought by Scognamiglio and Irfan, followed closely by Galbiati, Modonese, Protasiewicz and Olivieri.
The final stages of the race give emotions to no end with Protasiewicz that with three laps from the end passes second but is immediately undermined by Irfan and the catching up Cepil, author of a fantastic comeback, with a recovery of eighteen positions.
Scognamiglio is the creator of an excellent final sprint and in the last lap he jumped from eighth to fourth, putting in, Pasiewicz, Protasiewicz, Modonese and Olivieri.

JUNIOR ROK. FERRARI PIEGA THE AMERICANS
Among the heats and qualifications to show off were the two Americans Ugochukwu (USA), Morgatto (BRA), in addition to the Italian Ferrari. Just these Rokkers have occupied the first three boxes of the starting grid of the final.
At the start was immediately the trio composed of Morgatto, Ferrari and Ugochukwu who seemed to be able to escape and play the victory. This impression was soon denied by the pace that they managed to keep, Baracco, Locatelli, Croccolino, Gallo, Stifter and Rossi, all very fast and eager to play a place on the podium until the end.
After some intense competition Ugochukwu raised the white flag and was forced to stop while Ferrari managed to escape the lead, leaving the opponents to contend the last two places on the podium.
In the challenge for the podium was the Brazilian Morgatto to have the best on the excellent Baracco, in turn good to contain the reassembling Locatelli, the consistent Gallo and the tenace Stifter.
The title was awarded, with full merit, Ferrari that happens to Nicolò Cuman, this year in the Senior Rok race.
UNILOG. The Junior Rok was one of the categories (together with the Senior and the Expert) to adopt the Unilog control system. The system has passed the exam, further ensuring all pilots and satisfying the Staff of Commissioners and Rok.
The verification system with the Unilog will, of course, also be adopted in the Rok Cup International Final 2018 and will represent a starting point in the control and verification for the 2019 season, when it will also be used in area competitions.

SENIOR. MACIEJ BEFFA MOLINARI
After signing the pole and dominating the heats, Giorgio Molinari was expected to the test of the nine, to the examination of the final.
Just the final has reserved the surprise of the day with Maciej Szyzko who has unleashed all his speed and determination and has relegated the young Ligurian to the place of honor.
In the very first stages of the race seemed to be Comanducci the number one challenger of Molinari, but already on the seventh lap Maciej took second position, chasing the leader.
The winning overtake, Maciej placed him on the twelfth lap, leaving no way out to Molinari and managing to immediately take a precious margin.
With the first three, Maciej, Molinari and Comanducci, who had sown the rest of the group, some nice overtaking made him see Gaglianò, Moncini (author of the best lap in the final) and Kaprzyk, up from the center of the group up to sixth place.
The top ten was completed by two international champions in office, D'Abramo and Mila, as well as the excellent Sella and Martinello.

EXPERT. TODESCHINI. VICTORY WITH DEDICATION.
Among the experts, Tino Donadei seemed to be the favorite. But the rise of Gianluca Todeschini, in the heats and the final, was perfect and has led Todeschini to first register his name in the register of the Rok Cup Italy Expert.
On the podium, together with an emotionator Todeschini, rose, Granelli and Donadei.
At the end of the event, Todeschini, not without emotion, dedicated this title to his friend, and mechanic, "Marino", who died recently.
"Marino has followed me as a mechanic and friend for over twenty years of competitions, free of charge, just for friendship. This important victory I want to dedicate to him, who is no more ... .. "these were the first words of Gianluca once he got off the podium.

SHIFTER. SQUARANTI 2 TIMES SAMPLE
Starting from the third row, after a stop during one heat, Federico Squaranti built his second consecutive success at Rok Italia, during the first three laps of the final.
In just a few lines, Squaranti freed himself from opponents of the caliber of Morardo, Zani, Bensi and Baldi, escaping to victory.
Behind the bi Rok Italia champion, Zani was immediately placed, which left no possibility to the pursuers.
Even more spectacular was the brawl for the last place on the podium, with Bensi who had to sweat to respond to the attacks of Baldi, Muller, Zemin and Limena.
Under the checkered flag, Bensi accompanied Zani and Squaranti on the podium, preceding an incredible Zemin. The latter showed up on the track only on Saturday afternoon (after having checked regularly on Friday), as he could not be present at his cousin's wedding. The nice, fast, Andrea Zemin did not lose heart and recovered like a madman, touching the final podium. The result of Zemin is a warning to everyone in view of the international final of next month and represents a wonderful example of passion for Rok and racing.

SUPER ROK. SZCZUREK WITH BRIVIDO
The Polish Kacper Szczurek took home, with merit, a title chased with the determination that distinguishes him.
Szczurek had a difficult start from the first position and was overtaken by Cicognini and Lady Cardinali.
The young Polish has reacted without being overwhelmed by haste, has filled the gap that separated him from Cicognini and went to win the Rok Italy in the final stages.
In addition to the new champion, a great applause also deserves Domenico Cicognini, able to accomplish a good part of the race in the lead, except slipping into fifth position due to the penalization inflicted on him for the off-site nose.
So the podium of the Super Rok was occupied by three foreign Rokkers, in addition to Szczurek the Monegasque Gaia Cardinali and the Maltese Gianluca Dingli.
