Record 28 Yamaha R3 bLU cRU European Cup Riders Ready to Take on Misano

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Round three of the 2022 #yamahar3blucrueuropeancup will welcome a record number of youngsters onto the grid, with 28 riders set to tackle the #misanoworldcircuit ‘Marco Simoncelli’.

The Italian venue hosted the first-ever #yamahar3blucrueuropeancup round last year, making it the unofficial birthplace of the FIM Superbike World Championship-supporting series.

Although Maxim Repak (school exams) and Uriel Hidalgo (injury) will be absent from this weekend’s round, seven wildcards will join the remaining 21 season regulars in Misano, all eager to prove their worth in front of the WorldSBK paddock.

Amongst the new entries is Mohammed Abdalaziz Binladin, who becomes the first rider from the United Arab Emirates to race during a world championship weekend. He will be joined by six Italian riders, who all took part in the recent Yamaha R3 bLU cRU Cup Italy, which concluded last weekend at Vallelunga.

The national R3 Cup winner Federico Iacoi and Women’s class champion Josephine Bruno will be joined by Emanuele Cazzaniga, Emiliano Rapanotti, Emiliano Ercolani and Mattia Sorrenti, seeing Italy represented by nine riders.

Brazil’s Enzo Valentim currently leads the standings after a dominant performance last time out at Assen. The 17-year-old won both races and holds an 11-point advantage over fellow Brazilian Kevin Fontainha, who also enjoyed a strong outing in The Netherlands to take his third consecutive podium finish.

Italy’s #devisbergamini will be looking to close the gap to the top two at his home round, having lost his championship lead in Assen. All three, as well as Poland’s Jurand Kusmierczyk and Italian Andrea Pizzoli, also took part in the recent Yamaha VR46 Master Camp event last month.

Last year it was Repak and eventual title-winner Iker Garcia Abella who shared the spoils at the 3.488 km circuit, and of the returning youngsters Marc Vich Gil enjoyed the strongest performance, with a best result of seventh.

After Thursday’s track walk, the 30-minute Free Practice session on Friday morning will allow the riders to get up to speed at the Misano circuit, before qualifying that afternoon. Saturday will host two races once again, with 50 points up for grabs.

Gianluca Montiron – Organizer

Yamaha R3 bLU cRU European Cup

“It’s great to be back in Misano, where the #yamahar3blucrueuropeancup began. We have come a long way since then and it’s very nice to see that we return here with our biggest grid ever. I’d also like to welcome all of the new faces to the paddock this weekend. It’s great to see that the UAE will be represented for the first time in this championship, we wish him good luck and hope he enjoys some close battles. I’d also like to thank everyone at Yamaha R3 bLU cRU Cup Italy, who have brought a great group of young talents, including the overall and Women’s class winners. They all have recent experience of this track with the Yamaha R3 bikes, so are sure to be competitive and right in the mix.”
