The Trofei Malossi races held in Binetto will go down in history as a scorching hot edition of the event. On Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd, the riders raced as only they do when there is much more at stake than just a podium finish: there is glory, there is the desire to become legendary.
Between braking at the limit and breathtaking accelerations, the 70cc, 100cc and Malossi Racing Academy riders put on a thrilling two-day show in which everybody gave their all. Some won, others lost, but every rider left the track a different person than when they arrived.
Victories that bring joy, defeats that make you grow
Certain riders shone brighter than the sun, yet everyone left their mark. There were surprises, comebacks, slip-ups and restarts. Each category showed how much determination it takes to stay up front, among those who crossed the finish line with the extra oomph needed to succeed and those who fell behind, promising themselves they would return and do even better.
While the crowd cheered from the stands, the riders raced with hunger in their eyes and courage powering their right wrists.
We saw contact, recoveries, hugs, lowered gazes and helmets raised to the sky. That’s because the Trofei Malossi are not merely races: for the riders, they are a journey of self-introspection, a yardstick to measure the desire to push themselves further that each of them has within.
