GP PORTUGAL

Giacomo Redondi finished 3rd and 5th the GP of Portugal – E2 class -, raced on 3rd-5th May in Valpaços, about 160 km north of Porto, towards the border with Spain. A positive race for the twice World Champion, fast in all the 22 special tests. On Saturday he also got a positive 6th position in the EnduroGP class, while on Sunday he almost reached the top ten finishing 11th due to a questionable time control penalty. Fast and focus, Redondi confirmed his performance and that of the Husqvarna FE 350 developed by the Team JET-Zanardo. Positive race for the Chilean Ruy Barbosa too, twice 3rd in the Junior EJ2 class. Unlucky race, instead, for the English Joe Wootton. On Saturday the race control stopped him for safety reasons after a crash in which he cracked the gas tank. On Sunday same penalty of Redondi, teammate at the start too. Next competition is the third round of the World Championship, scheduled this weekend in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
