Six rounds into the Italian CIV Championships and the all-Dunlop
125GP series is being led by Niccolò Antonelli, who has recovered
from a non-score at round one to win the last two races and holds
a slender six-point lead over Kevin Calia.
Romano Fenati has won more races than any other rider (three)
but two non-scores mean he is only third overall, albeit just eight
points from Antonelli. All three Aprilia riders this year have a serious
chance of claiming the crown.
Victories in every round mean that Iodaracing’s Armando
Pontone is already champion of the newly formed Moto3 category,
while the more strongly contested (all-Dunlop) Moto2 class is
being led by Faenza Racing’s Mattia Tarozzi.
Tarozzi starts the final two rounds with a 15-point advantage
over Alessandro Andreozzi, while Federico D’Annunzio, Danilo
Marrancone and Diego Ciavattini also remain in mathematical title
contention.
Fabio Menghi (Yamaha) leads the Dunlop challenge standing
seventh overall in the 600SS category, while Ivan Goi’s
Dunlop-shod Aprilia is on the brink of the championship top ten in
the Superbike class.
The last two rounds of the 2011 CIV championships will be held
at Vallelunga (September 11) and Mugello (October 23).

After 6 of 8 events, Martin Bauer (KTM) leads Karl Muggeridge
(Honda) by 24 points at the top of the the IDM Superbike
Championship, with fellow Dunlop riders Matej Smrz (KTM) and
Michael Ranseder (BMW) also in the top five.
In Supersport, Dunlop-shod Yamaha riders Jesco Günther,
Günther Knobloch and David Linortner are chasing down points
leader Daniel Sutter, while in the 125cc class Dunlop currently
holds the top three places courtesy of Australian Jack Miller
(Aprilia) leading German riders Luca Amato (Aprilia) and Luca
Grünwald (KTM).
The next round will be held at the recently re-opened Red Bull
Ring in Austria, with the season finale taking place at the famous
Hockenheim circuit on September 18.
Dunlop riders Stefano Schillaci (125SP) and Andreas Meklau
(SBK) wrapped up their respective UEM Alpe Adria
Championship titles in perfect style, with victories in round eight
at Poznan, in Poland, on August 7.
Dunlop riders are also leading three of the other classes -
125GP, STK600 and STK1000 - which will be decided at the last
round in Rijeka later this month.
