The victory in Race2 at Mandalika, achieved on the last lap after constant pressure on the rivals, canceled the unfortunate weekend at Phillip Island and repaid Federico Caricasulo and the Althea team for all the work done starting from the first day in Supersport.

A perfect setup and an aggressive but clear-headed rider were the winning recipe for a perfect race whose victory acquires even more value due to the fact that all the protagonists were in the game until the end. It is a result delayed by bad luck but absolutely deserved.

From now on it is possible to look at the championship with different eyes. The countdown to Assen starts now!

FEDERICO CARICASULO – RIDER

“Today was a top day.
Yesterday it had already gone well both in qualifying and in race 1 but today we managed to take the step we needed to play it to the end and win.

I’m very happy. We needed it because we’ve been working a lot with the team since last year and it was only right that an award should finally arrive.

Now we have to stay focused and continue to do well starting from Assen.”

GENESIO BEVILACQUA – GENERAL MANAGER

“Today we finally achieved a beautiful victory that showed Federico’s maturity and lucidity and a good set-up of the bike which is what makes the difference when the riders on track are equal in performance. Setup, attitude and strategy made all the difference.

We return to victory with Ducati after 11 years and it is very exciting for me to see the Althea brand on the top again. We can say that it is a complete and deserved victory because all the protagonists were in the game. I congratulate all the guys who fought for this victory. Federico was good but we have a team with experience that can take us far.

I won’t make any other predictions because at the moment I want to dwell on the fact that, after an Australian weekend to forget, we have one to remember for a long time. I want to express all my passion for what we’re doing!”
