In Race 2 Catellani finished with 4 second advantage over Manuel D’andrea. D’Andrea, free from other engagements, came back to the Polini Italian Cup races and he was on the second step of the podium. No chance for Emanuele Frosi, Corneti and Cristian Rossi even if they were protagonists of very good performance.
