22 July 2024 - The reigning champion of the Aprilia RS 660 Trophy, Edoardo Colombi, had another record-breaking weekend in the BSB at Brands Hatch: pole position, fastest lap and race win.
It was Colombi's first time at Brands Hatch, one of the most technical circuits in the UK. Despite this, he managed to dominate from Friday's free practice session, taking his fourth pole position of the season in Saturday's qualifying session.
The race followed the same script as the previous race at Snetterton, with a close battle with his main rival for the championship right up to the final lap. Once again it was Edoardo Colombi who came out on top thanks to a spectacular breathtaking overtaking manoeuvre, securing his sixth win of the season and the fastest lap of the race. The Italian rider maintains the championship lead with 177.5 points.
A result that once again confirms the excellent form of the Italian Colombi-Aprilia RS 660 duo and highlights how the Aprilia Trophies serve as a high-level training ground for young riders.
EDOARDO COLOMBI, #13: "Another new track to discover, where the team and I immediately focused on learning its characteristics and secrets. On Friday, we concentrated on learning the layout and finding the ideal set-up. On Saturday, we attacked with even more determination against our rivals and the stopwatch, taking our fourth pole position of the season. We aimed to win the race as well, taking advantage of the start and maintaining a consistent pace from start to finish. On the final lap, I overtook my direct rival for the championship and secured my sixth win of 2024. Aprilia and Gradara Corse were fantastic; most of the credit goes to the RS 660.”
