Giugliano aiming to carry momentum onto Portimao

After Davide Giugliano’s convincing performance during the Donington race weekend just two weeks ago, team Althea Racing is optimistic about the Portimao round, and plans to confirm the progress made so far in this season’s championship. On the Portuguese track, that suits the characteristics of the Aprilia RSV4, Genesio Bevilacqua’s team will work hard to achieve the best possible results while Giugliano hopes to gain valuable points with which to improve his position in the championship standings.

Davide Giugliano: “The Portimao round is one of my favourites because I really like the track and it’s always nice to spend a few days in the Algarve. I hope that Portugal will bring us favourable conditions and some hot weather at last. After the two Donington races we are even more convinced about our capabilities and possibilities. I hope to be in the leading group at Portimao, making the most of my RSV4’s great potential. I’m not setting a specific objective, other than to give it my all and achieve good results, for me and my team.”

The sixth round of the eni FIM Superbike World Championship will take place at the “Autodromo Internacional do Algarve” in Portimao, Portugal over the weekend of June 7/8/9. Designed to be one of the best and most modern circuits in Europe, the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve benefits from the best conditions of safety and comfort both for drivers and the public. There are 64 different possible layouts of the circuit, including those that have already been approved by the FIA for Formula 1 and by the FIM for the World Superbike Championship races. The natural relief of the terrain enabled the creation of a unique circuit, with accentuated undulations, making driving a pleasure, since the curves and straights follow each other at an exciting rhythm with accentuated declines. For the public this characteristic is spectacular, allowing a wide view from any stand.
