Day one of the SMGP of Europe took place today with a heavy rain but with a really good racing; the Italian crowd got behind their riders as usual and they cheered for them from the beginning of the day until the last chequered flag. Thomas Chareyre was the one who dominated the qualifying heats, but there were many riders fighting for the lead who gave good expectations for tomorrow. Unfortunately, another time, due to the persistent rain, the off-road section, which was very well prepared according to the riders, has not been used; YS and FIM aim to be able to include it tomorrow morning.S1The defending ChampionTM Racing Factory Team Tomas Chareyre was very satisfied with his riding today; he obtained the best lap time with 1:20.142. The French rider started in second and kept his position almost until the end of the qualifying race, when he overtook Mauno Hermunen.TM Shr Mauno Hermunen had a very good start and he managed to open a big gap since the beginning, but in the last minutes he made some mistakes and tomorrow he will start in the second position in the starting grid.Third position for HONDA Luc1 Owatrol Sylvian Bydart who did not have a very good start today but, towards the end, he found the correct setting with his bike. Beautiful recovery for APRILIA Fasth Wheels Adrien Chareyre, who changed the tyres from GoldenTyre to Michelin and found a good rhythm with his bike, finishing in the fourth position today. TM Shr Petr Vorlicek, who a had a very good free practice today and who feels confident on wet tracks, will close the first row tomorrow. Sixth position for TM SBD Unionbike Racing Giovanni Bussei, who feels very confident with this type of track, which are wide and fast, also because the Italian rider had a story in Superbike.Consistent race for YAMAHA Team Blot Grelier Aurelien, and it is the same for KTM Gp Racing Hohnhart Hannes Maier, who had a solid qualifying race today and he will close the second row tomorrow, followed by the Czech TM Hardbike Racing Tomas Travnicek.Home rider HM L30 Racing Ivan Lazzarini had to settle down with the tenth place but he will surely do his best to improve his position tomorrow.S1 Qualifying Race Top Ten: 1.
