MotoE: Zaccone & Ferrari take the spoils at the San Marino GP

MotoE: Two home winners and a new advantage at the top: Misano delivers two more classic showdowns.

RACE 1
It was a lights to flag victory for Alessandro Zaccone (Aruba Cloud MotoE Team) in the first MotoE™ race of the day, but that didn’t tell the full story. He was kept honest all the way by Nicholas Spinelli (Rivacold Snipers Team MotoE) and Andrea Mantovani (KLINT Forward Factory Team), the latter of whom locked horns with Eric Granado (LCR E-Team) on the last lap. The Italian eventually came out on top to claim P3.

It was a first win since Assen for Zaccone, ahead of Spinelli who made it three rostrums from the last four. Meanwhile Championship leaders coming into the round Mattia Casadei (LCR E-Team) and Lorenzo Baldassarri (Dynavolt Intact GP) finished P9 and P10, having qualified 10th and 13th respectively.

RACE 2
Race 2 was one of the best of the season and with drama in abundance; Jordi Torres (Power Electronics Aspar Team) fell at Turn 13 on the opening lap whilst on Lap 2, Mantovani fell from podium contention and skittled Spinelli at Turn 8, ending their hopes of home victory and hurting their title aspirations. Hector Garzo (Dynavolt Intact GP) followed suit at Turn 14 later on as the lead group shrunk. It was a true last lap shootout as Ferrari got ahead into Turn 11, successfully defending to take victory ahead of the Brazilian whilst teammate Casadei took P3.

Zaccone leads the standings to Portugal by five points over Casadei but the top seven are all mathematically in contention! You don’t want to miss MotoE’s grand finale from the 7th – 9th of November!
