| Lanusse Takes Maiden Victory in Monza | Romain Lanusse (MRS Yamaha Racing France), put on a spectacular display of racing under the Italian sunshine in Monza yesterday, to take the first victory of his Superstock 600 European Championship career. The young Frenchman got off to a perfect start from his pole position on the grid and continued to impress throughout the 10 lap race before powering his Yamaha R6 to victory. Lanusse was shortly followed by the Italian Dino Lombardi (Martini Corse Racing Team), also riding a Yamaha YZF-R6, crossing the finish line to take a second place on the podium. Lanusse heads to round three in Misano leading the Championship standings on 45 points, Lombardi in second place on 33 points. The Yamaha protagonists of the Superstock 600 category are riding Yamaha YZF-R6's which are almost identical to the R6 "off the shelf" production seriesversion. The above mentioned impressive Superstock 600 performances, clearly demonstrates, yet again, the strength of the bike that has dominated the category in the previous years, with Jeremy Guarnoni taking the championship title in 2010. |
