Runner-up last year in his Twins Cup début, Gus Rodio began the 2024 in the best possible way. After starting from pole position, the nineteen-year-old native of Hammonton, New Jersey had no equal in Race 1, finishing with a gap of over 11” ahead of Dominic Doyle (Yamaha), second on the final stretch ahead of Avery Dreher, astride the team TopPro Racing Aprilia RS 660.

Rodio then repeated the performance in Race 2, taking the lead on the second lap and quickly pulling away from his rivals to finish first all alone. With Avery Dreher crashing out on the first lap, behind Rodio, the other team Rodio Racing powered by Robem Engineering RS 660 was a great protagonist, entrusted to fifteen-year-old rookie Alessandro Di Mario, third on the final stretch and just 44 thousandths behind second place finisher, Rocco Landers (Suzuki).
