SENIOR ROK. MOLINARI DOUBLE UT LOCATELLI AND MONCINI ...
In qualifying it is Cuman who places a record lap (49.919) and grabs Molinari's pole, just a breath away. The two on the first row, Cuman and Molinari, are the only ones who manage to get under the 50 second wall, even if the rest of the group is very close.
In the pre-final, Cuman, after an exciting race, suffers the return of Molinari but remains glued to the opponent, while Locatelli observes the leading pair from third place, ready to take advantage of a possible unexpected.
In the final the twist occurs already during the launch lap with Cuman that due to an inconvenience cannot take his position. Molinari, without one of the most formidable rivals, has a free field and takes command of the race, pulling Locatelli in his wake, formidable to jump immediately from sixth to second. Moncini does not give up and throughout the race Locatelli and the leader Molinari follow. The first three will make a solitary race while in the rest of the platoon the brawl is hilarious with Bernardi, Janicki, Martinello, Cuman, Mira, Pabbay, Crcoccolino, Sisti, Zuccante, Palmirski, Mezzetti and Zajac who do not save even for a ride, having fun on public and having fun.
Under the checkered flag to win over the group of pursuers is Bernardi, the first experience in the Rok, which precedes the very young Croccolino (then penalized for off-site nose).
Cuman, ends his race, all uphill, in seventh place, preceded by the pugnacious Martinello and Janicki. For the former Rok Cup Italia Junior 2017 Champion, there is the meager consolation of having always been the fastest on the track on the lap. In fact, Cuman has also signed the best laps in the pre-final and final.
The race in the race between the center Rokkers showed sparks between Sisti and Zuccante that came in this order, after a duel that often saw them fighting wheel against wheel and full of beautiful overtaking. Behind the two of them, Mezzetti, a very young man who started his karting career this year, in the Rok, showed great potential.

JUNIOR ROK. FEDERICI LEAPFROGS RAGONE
Ragone appears at the start of the strong final of pole and victory in the pre-final. Federici, second on the grid, is immediately pugnacious and on the second lap of the final he slips his rival and teammate, escaping towards victory.
The first lap of the final also reserves some twists and turns, such as the Stifter and Megna excursions, which remain delayed and are forced to compete in a race all in comeback.
In the first laps of the race Mazzola, Tyrakowski, Zaffarano and Ladina are put on display behind the two leading riders.
With the passing of the laps Mazzola becomes more and more urgent on the Polish Tyrakowski, managing to take the third position, even if the joy for the placement is short since the off-site nose will bring Tyrakowski in third place.
Megna manages to recover the fourth position after the bad start, ahead of Adami, author of some good overtakes after he slipped to twelfth in the prefinal.
The second half of the race forces Stifter to a new comeback, in fact the winner of Lonato ends up out and has to settle for seventh place, behind Desiderio and ahead of Mazzola (penalized), Wisniewski and Chiurato, first in the Centro group.

SUPER ROK. D’ABRAMO DOMINATES. MACHADO WINS
The Super is full of twists, all to the detriment of D’Abramo who sees the success, achieved in the pre-final, fade due to a penalty for the off-site nose. Unfortunately the episode that brings out the nose of the 2017 International Champion does not occur in tussle with direct rivals, but it is the unfortunate consequence of a collision with a dubbed player.
In the final D’Abramo quickly fills the gap with direct rival Machado and manages to regain his head, driving with a good margin to the final stages. Just in the last few meters, when D’Abramo anticipates success, a new twist occurs, incredibly similar to that of the pre-final. A doubled (distracted) person leaves no space for the leader and contact is inevitable. Machado thanks good luck and goes on to win in front of an angry and incredulous D’Abramo.The podium is completed by the poleman Cicognini, who has his work cut out to contain the comeback of the formidable Monegasque Gaia Cardinali, one of the many ladies who always give their opponents a hard time in the Rok.
The British Shaw closes the top-5 but is penalized for the out of place nose and it is Galbiati who rises to fifth place with merit, after having remedied an unfortunate qualification.
To forget was the seasonal debut of the other lady in the race, Rebecca Guarguaglini, finished out on the first lap of the final, without being able to give her best.

MINI ROK. MALEK IN THE INTERNATIONAL GRID
The qualification opens with a heads-up match between the Rok Cup Italia champion, Malek and the Rokker of the Ianiello center. In the end, Malek takes the pole for 010 thousandths.
In the pre-final the match between the leaders is of international caliber, in fact the winner is the Slovenian Malek, ahead of the Italian De Palo, the French Anpilogov and the Chinese Cui.
In the pre-final De Palo also signed a remarkable best lap, in 56.223, better, also, than the time of the pole.
The final sees no upheavals in front of the top of the class, except for the lightning start of De Palo who overtakes Malek during the first lap. Malek re-establishes the hierarchy with his team-mate and takes the lead after a few corners. Malek, De Palo and Anpilogov spin in this order until the checkered flag.
Ianiello takes fourth place on Cui and wins the classification reserved for the Rokkers of the Center. The top-10 is completed by Prescianotto, Kastelic, Kasprzycki, Perfetti, author of a great comeback, and by De Pascale, second in the center round.
Pacini, winner of the Center race in Viterbo, completes the podium for his group (Centro).
The Rokkie: Pecoraro, Coppotelli, Marcon and Berni performed well in an event so rich in young Rokkers. Some of them have made small mistakes, caused by inexperience, but they have been confirmed Rookies Rokker always correct and fast.

SHIFTER ROK. MULLER TAKES EVERYTHING
As much as Zemin tried them all, there was nothing to do against Muller. The young Swiss man earned a full score, taking pole, pre-final and final.
The international champion Shifter, Zemin, has tried with the utmost commitment to get behind Muller, but without success.
The podium was completed by Sella, in his second race in the Rok with the gearbox he managed to contain Frizza and Di Bari.
