NCR CORSE presents the MILLONA FACTORY 2007

It will be a very competitive championship because of the opening duel between NCR and Moto Guzzi, the NCR Millano vs the Moto Guzzi MGS-01, Bartolini vs Guareschi. On the eve of the opening battle, Valter Barlolini was unfortunately injured during a training session on his Supermoto and was not able to contest the opening round of the Supertwins Championship. It was unfortunate because Valter was just coming off his amazing win on the NCR Millona Factory 2007, the very bike that won the Sound of Thunder at Daytona several weeks ago.

NCR Corse then quickly engaged Paolo Bentivogli on the NCR Millona Factory 2007. Paolo already dominated and won the Supertwins championship on the Millona Factory in 2005. The practice sessions were interrupted by rain and cold weather and had resulted in the the three Moto Guzzis of Guareschi, Veghini and Liverani in front of Paolo Bentivogli in fourth. To note, Enrico Martini (57 years old) in the senior class qualified in 12th position on his NCR Millona One Shot.

The race took place in perfect sunny weather with a slightly slower track but nonetheless, optimal racing conditions. Quickly Bentivogli and Guareschi create a gap over the other Moto Guzzi’s and by turning 1:45 laps. Paolo chose his moment in the 10th of 12 laps and passed the potent 4V Moto Guzzi in the fast section of the track. In the last lap, the Bentivogli’s NCR Millona was ahead of Guareschi’s Moto Guzzi and in the very last turn, Guareschi was able to take a risky move and squeeze by Bentivogli for the win. Considering that Bentivogli had very little time to acclimate to the 07 NCR Millona Factory bike, he was able to ride very competitively for the lead which shows that the NCR Millona package is a solid race bike. NCR also congratulates Enrico Martini for an overall 11th place position and winner of the senior class of the race.

Next race is in Misano on May 20th.
