Scassa to miss next Supersport round at Misano
Yamaha ParkinGO rider Luca Scassa will not take part in the next round of the Supersport World Championship at Misano World Circuit from June 10-12. In a decision that was made official during the Monza weekend, the Italian has been penalized for having ridden the circuit on a standard R1 machine as an instructor. Motorland Aragon is the selected testing circuit of the Yamaha ParkinGO Team, so Scassa caused an infringement of the regulations.
According to the FIM rule book (paragraphs 1.11.1 and 1.15.1) regarding Supersport, "in the case of an infraction to the above rules, the rider's entry will be refused or the rider will be disqualified from the event of the circuit concerned, depending on the date of the confirmation of the infraction".
Scassa will therefore miss the next round, and as a result he runs a major risk of losing his points lead (albeit shared with team-mate Chaz Davies) in the championship. Both riders are level on 70 points after Davies scored his second win in a row on Sunday at Monza.
