Jacopo Monti was in outstanding form to win Round 4 of Pozzani Silkolene Shorttrackuk at Stoke Speedway Stadium on Saturday.
The Italian Monti who made the long trip to Stoke from his home town of Tradate in Italy was in blistering form. He won his heat races and Semi final to put himself on pole for the Grand Final. The winner of the other Semi and Championship leader Ade collins was next to him. Also on the front row were last year's champ Peter Boast and 3 times UK Champ Marco Belli.
It was Monti who made the hole shot from Collins and Boast, with Belli 4th and 16 year Tom Woolley in 5th. The pack went past to complete lap one but buy lap two red flags came out asRichard "magic"Mason had one of his less magic moments and highsided coming out of turn 4 and took couple other riders out. A restart took place and once again Monti made no mistake by getting the hole shot but this time Collins was pushing Monti hard for the lead. By lap 2 Belli had got the better of Boastie and 5th and 6th spots were taken up by the young guns of Ben Baker and Tom Woolley.
By lap 6 Monti and Collins had left the pack with Collins putting pressure on Monti and back in third Boast was putting force on Belli, Woolley had got past Barker and Darren Trapmore moved up to 7th spot. As the laps wound down Jacopo Monti began to ease away from Collins and the battle for third had become a three way dice with Belli, Boast and now Tom Woolley was pressuring the pair.
Jacopo Monti made no mistakes and took the chequered flag for his first UK Championship win from H M Plant Honda rider Aidan Collins, with Marco Belli hanging on to 3rd for the last spot on the podium.
