Althea Racing Team preview Moscow

After a strong performance in the races at Imola, the first of which saw Davide Giugliano reach the second step of the rostrum, and after a day’s testing in which the Althea Racing rider closed with the overall second fastest time, Genesio Bevilacqua’s squad is now in Moscow, ready to take part in round eight of the 2013 World Superbike championship that has now reached the half-way mark. Davide Giugliano has positioned himself as a frontrunner at each round, thanks to his maturity, impressive riding ability and also thanks to a bike that is in no way inferior to the factory machines. Both rider and team will therefore be working to confirm their competitiveness in Russia, fighting for the podium positions.

Davide Giugliano: "I like the Moscow track and I was fast in last year’s practices. Then unfortunately in the race things didn’t go so well and I only took a sixth place finish in race two. I will try to do better this time around, also because I know I’ll be able to count on a very fast bike, an important characteristic on this track considering the long straightway before the pits. During the test day at Imola we found some good solutions that we hope be able to exploit this weekend in order to take strong results in Sunday’s races.”
