Congratulations to Michel Fabrizio and Ben Spies who spilt wins in Italy at the fifth round of the World Superbike Championship, but not without a host of madness and turmoil at the historic Autodromo Nazionale Monza.
Michel Fabrizio: "I don’t know what happened at the end of the first race with Ben Spies, may have been the fuel, but it was a shame. I was going well and had a bit of a problem in the middle of the race with my gearbox when I touched with Ben, but I was able to get back up and get going. To win the first and be second after is the greatest weekend I have ever had. Thank you so much to my team and all of the Italian fans. This is amazing."
Ben Spies: "It was a tough pill to swallow after Race One. But we put our head down in Race Two and got into a good rhythm in the first 12-14 laps because we knew we had an issue there and had to short-shift and slow down some at the end to make it on fuel. I took the two warm-up laps a bit differently and the last few laps of the race two, but I can't complain about the bike, it was great during the race.".
The WSBK be back racing at the next event at Road America.
