With the opening round of the Superbike race, the Tourist Trophy 2016 comes into action after a week of practices. Stefano Bonetti has been – once again – the fastest of the italian riders and he looks forward for the week of race at the isle of Man.

Started 42nd after the difficulties found with his Kawasaki, Stefano Bonetti succeeded to ride over the problems covering the 6 laps (320 km) in 1h52.32 at an average speed of 120,683 km/h, riding between villages, walls and forests.

Stefano Bonetti: “I’m happy because after all the problems we had in practices I finally found a solution. We worked a lot on the chassis of my Kawasaki, but without results, so I finally changed my riding style, opting for a smoother ride. I’m confident because I have improved my personal record and I look forward to the next race. I was not surprised by the new record of Michael Dunlop. I saw him in the practices and he was a rocket. My congratulations. He has done an excellent job! My next race is on Monday in the Superstock category and on Wednesday in the Leightweight. The Paton works really well and I’m proud to ride an Italian bike here at the Isle of Man”.

Stefano Bonetti will be back on track on Monday for the Superstock race, on Wednesday it’s the turn of the Leightweight with the Paton and on Friday the Grand Finale with the Senior.
