Enduro 1 : Micheluz produces his best ever result & Vilanova back in Championship
Round: 4 - Bergamo, Italy
Circuit: Valli Bergamasche
Date: 18 June 2006
Crowd: 28500
Temp: 28ºC
Weather: Sunny
 Italian UFO Corse Yamaha rider Maurizio Micheluz produced his best ever
World Enduro Championship result at the 40th GP Valli Bergamasche
finishing in third place in the Enduro 1 class on day one. Having
performed consistently in the first three rounds of the '06 WEC series
Maurizio claimed his first ever world championship podium aboard his
WR250F placing behind reigning E1 world champion Ivan Cervantes and
countryman Simone Albergoni. Winning the first test of day one in the
E1 class, and then going on to perform well throughout the day,
Maurizio again rode well on day two to finish fourth. Despite not
managing to place on the podium for a second time Maurizio's results
lifted him to fourth in the Enduro 1 world championship standings where
he lies just nine points adrift of third.
The fourth round of the '06 World Enduro Championship saw Spaniard
Arnau Vilanova make his debut ride for the UFO Corse Yamaha team having
been forced to sit out the first three rounds of the WEC series due to
injury. Disappointingly for Arnau a lack of race pace and fitness
resulted in him placing in 11th on day one. With day one having taken
its toll on Arnau he opted not to start day two.
Claiming a double class win in Italy was reigning Enduro 1 world
champion Ivan Cervantes. With his team-mate Alessandro Belometti having
set the pace for much of day one Ivan inherited the lead when Belometti
bent his rear sprocket and dropped seven minutes. Joining Cervantes on
the podium on day one were Simone Albergoni and Maurizio Micheluz while
on day two it was Belometti and Albergoni who stood either side of
Cervantes on the rostrum.
Maurizio Micheluz (UFO Corse Yamaha) Enduro 1 class - Day 1: third, Day
2: fourth "I am really happy with my weekend because I finished in a
good position on both days. I am really happy with my result from day
one because I claimed my first ever world championship podium.
Finishing on the podium for the first time at my home GP is great. It
was a really difficult race though, especially because of the heat and
the dust. It was really physical on both days. Although it was a
difficult race we have to remember that this is enduro. But I hope that
the races don't get any harder than this."
Arnau Vilanova (UFO Corse Yamaha) Enduro 1 class - Day 1: 11th, Day 2:
DNS "It was a really difficult race to start my '06 world championship.
Since I injured my foot I have been training at home but that is very
different to racing at world championship level. I struggled a little
bit but I didn't make any big mistakes. I need to work on my speed
because the other riders have been racing all season."
