4 October 2022

DENY PHILIPPAERTS CHAMPION  WITH THE 125 2T FI

MATTEO PAVONI CHAMPION WITH THE 300 2T FI

MATTEO CAVALLO CHAMPION WITH THE 250 4T

After more than two months from the last tricolor event in Piedmont, this weekend the Assoluti d’Italia made a stop in Castiglion Fiorentino (AR) for the final act of the 2022 season, disputing the eighth and ninth rounds.The Motoclub Castiglion Fiorentino Fabrizio Meoni, assisted by Track Inspector Mario Rinaldi, have designed a race course worthy of a world championship race.

Our riders in the race had to compete with a course of over 57 km, with three very demanding special stages, to be repeated four times on Saturday and three times on Sunday, for a total of twenty-one special stages throughout the race weekend.This Italian Championship race will be remembered because TM racing together with Deny Philippaerts have put the seal on the Championship in the 125 class with the TM 125 2T FI, the first 125 2T Enduro injection in the World to race and win a Championship. A bet started in 2020 that today sees TM Racing, with all the staff assisted by Claudio Fava and Deny Philippaerts, as tester / driver, come an incredible victory!!!

Instead, Matteo Pavoni conquered the second consecutive title, the rider from Brescia won on Saturday and raised the trophy of the 300 class to the sky. Like Deny Philippaerts, Matteo Pavoni, after winning the category, closed the Championship with a victory on Day2 .Excellent performances for Matteo Cavallo both in the 250 4T class with a second and a third place in the class but also in the Overall, collecting a third and a fourth place. Matteo close the Championship with a second place in E1 class and third overall.A little subdued weekend for Wil Ruprecht who did not find the right rhythm and feeling with the special stages. Wil still closed with a fifth and sixth place overall for a fourth place final in the Championship. Jarno Boano: “With this race, the Absolutes of Italy 2022 ended. We managed to take home 3 Italian titles with our three two-strokes in the catalog, 125 FI, 250 FI, 300 Fi !! The most felt success is certainly that of Deny and the 125 FI, the first 125 2-stroke injection in the world to race and win a Championship !!! In TM Racing we are happy to have shown that our two-stroke injection bikes have reached a great level of competitiveness and reliability. Three titles that pay off the great work of the whole company and the Team on the race field. Now the last EnduroGp race awaits us where we will give 110% as always. Rimanete connessi !! (… in English it would be Stay Tuned … but we are 100% Italian !!)
