Yeeeeessss!!! Back on top😍

I'm home from a very hot but very successful weekend in Italy! Feels so good to finally get that win I've been chasing all year. I've had many good races with podium finishes this year but this time I took the last step onto the top spot. To bounce back like this after a bit dissapointing 3rd place at the Euros feels so nice.

I got 2nd in EP so it was almost a perfect weekend, just a mistake away in the EP main from the win. Baruffulo drove great in the main and got me by a second over the line.

Anyway I'm super happy with the performance of my whole package. Maybe not the fastest on outright speed in the main, but in 42 degrees heat you have to be patient and have a package that you can trust. I kept cool and had a 12 second lead over Ongaro halfway into the 45min main. I was in control of the race and stayed patient in front. Towards the end Davide had two flame outs and dropped down moving Robert up to 2nd, I had him a couple a seconds in front of me towards the end so almost a lap and I could cruise to the finish😍😍

Can't thank my sponsors enough, my package handle those conditions very very well and it's such a great feeling to know that when you walk up there to drive the main in this heat. Many drivers had issues in the main so conditions were very tough on the equipment.

Last but not least, thanks to Mau and Evlin for a great event once again, will be back next year 😉

Now, busy schedule continues and we are off to Croatia for E-buggy Euros on Thursday! So it's time to charge the batteries again😅
