Lanusse Takes Maiden Victory In Monza

Romain Lanusse (MRS Yamaha Racing France), put on a spectacular
display of racing under the Italian sunshine in Monza yesterday, to
take the first victory of his Superstock 600 European Championship
career. The young Frenchman got off to a perfect start from his
pole position on the grid and continued to impress throughout the
10 lap race before powering his Yamaha R6 to victory. Lanusse was
shortly followed by the Italian Dino Lombardi (Martini Corse Racing
Team), also riding a Yamaha YZF-R6, crossing the finish line to
take a second place on the podium.
Lanusse heads to round three in Misano leading the Championship
standings on 45 points, Lombardi in second place on 33 points.
The Yamaha protagonists of the Superstock 600 category are riding
Yamaha YZF-R6's which are almost identical to the R6 "off the
shelf" production seriesversion. The above mentioned impressive
Superstock 600 performances, clearly demonstrates, yet again, the
strength of the bike that has dominated the category in the
previous years, with Jeremy Guarnoni taking the championship title
in 2010.
