After in the morning finishing in first position in the warm up, Locatelli started again from pole position, taking the first position after a few corners. In the following laps Andrea started to show his rhythm, setting again the record lap in the race with an amazing 1'54"034, and getting more than two seconds ahead of the rest of the group already in the middle of the race.
In the second part of the race the rider from Bergamo managed the situation intelligently, avoiding taking unnecessary risks and passing again as the winner on the finish line. For the rookie Locatelli, as mentioned above, this is the seventh victory of the season, which officially makes him the most successful Italian rider in the history of World Supersport, breaking Paolo Casoli's twenty-year record. With this umpteenth masterpiece Andrea further strengthens his leadership in the championship, where he leads the standings with 175 points, 45 more than Cluzel.
The next round of the WorldSSP championship will now only take a few days, as the fifth round will take place next weekend (4-6 September), again on the Spanish track of Aragon.

Andrea Locatelli: "We have once again gathered the maximum, so I am really over the moon. Today the conditions were not easy to interpret, especially for the strong wind. I got off to a better start than yesterday, and then pushed right away to create a gap between me and my rivals, while at the end I managed the drop in tyres and the situation in general. Next week we have two more races ahead of us on this track, in which our opponents will probably get closer, so we have to keep working in this way. The team has once again provided me with an excellent bike, and I am really happy to have taken it to victory again".
