Simone Corsi, on his RS of the Fontana Racing team, beat Joan Olive also on an Aprilia RS bike, and got his first triumph and second podium of his career. The rider from Rome dominated the race at the Instanbul Park taking the audience's breath away.
He performed a great start and led the group in the first bends. In the seventh lap he led the race and kept on leading it for the next six laps, also gaining a quite good distance. Olive got the second position and joined the group again, performing a series of overtakings. The Spanish rider decided to improve the pace and gain a second, but after many overtakings the rider from Rome started pressing him and eventually reached him only four laps before the race ended, leaving a remarkable gap between the riders behind.
