TEENAGE motorcycle ace Trystan Finocchiaro rounded off a busy weekend with a podium place in his last 125 Aprilia Superteen race at the famous old Mallory Park circuit.
After a dash to Bristol on Friday, where he successfully graded for his second dan tae kwon do black belt, at the age of 15, Finocchiaro started well with front row qualifying together with Saturday’s fastest lap and fourth position in race one.
However, mechanical trouble in race two and a high-speed crash in race three left Trystan needing to deliver in the final televised race of the season, which he duly produced with a podium trophy and fastest lap.
Finocchiaro’s busy week end culminated in two back-to-back races between his Aprilia 125cc and the powerful Aprilia RRV450GP which he raced for the first time and brought home three good points.
This season’s form promises much for next season when the Redditch racer will move up to the Aprilia Challenge 450cc class to ride for the in competition team and contest the 450cc Aprilia Challenge British Championship.
