Filippo Rovelli and the Pistard team have decided not to take part in the remaining two rounds of the National Trophy to pay tribute to the late Luca Salvadori and let him win the title, which he had been chasing for years and deserved having won four of the six scheduled races.
The Pistard team, however, is not the only team still mathematically in the running for the title; there is also Aprilia with Alessandro Andreozzi.
With the Championship continuing as the National Trophy Organization decided, Team Manager Dario Alberti made a different decision, but one with a similar result.
"They have been difficult days for our Sport after the terrible news of Luca Salvadori's passing, we were "shocked and fizzled" - he wrote in a message on Facebook - we are shocked for the loss of a very strong rider, our competitor, but above all the loss of a sunny and smiling guy of 32 years old.
Our Sport is also this and Luca knew it and weighed it. The choice to participate more and more frantically in those races that I call "cursed," evidently had become for him a sporting reality indispensable to his being a pilot. I renew the condolences of the entire RR Staff to all his loved ones and the BroncòS Racing Team.
Fizzled because the Promoter of the championship had to choose, in respect of the family and the tragedy also personal, how to continue the sporting path of the National Trophy SBK. Promoter Cesaretti's decision is to race and continue the normal sporting path of the Trophy. We of RR, having learned of this sporting choice, have decided together with our rider Andreozzi Alessandro, to participate in the Imola race trying to give, as always, the best we can, just to Honor Rider SALVADORI, sure that he from up there will appreciate our will to run in his honor.
Since we are also, together with Filippo Rovelli of Team Pistard mathematically fighting for the title of Champion of the National Trophy SBK 2024, if at the Imola Race we should win, we will prepare the last stage of Cervesina so as not to take the necessary points to ensure that, that the title of Champion 2024 can symbolically be awarded to the late Luca Salvadori. This seems to us to be the best way to honor Luca, because we are sure that he would have wanted this for our Sport and his Work in Motorsport, while still leaving him with the undisputed 2024 National Trophy SBK Champion Title.
A big thank you goes to all of you for understanding and listening, in this very delicate and heartfelt moment that has shocked but involved us all.
See you in Imola next week entered in the Final Round of the Italian Speed Championship '24."
