Visser: Difficult Margutti in Castelletto

Always very fast at each event she attends, Beitske Visser has gathered more experience now and is one of the favourites in the 125cc gearbox category. A third best time in time qualifying, a success in one of the heats and a best lap time in the pre-final of the KZ2 category should have allowed her to conquer another victory at the 22nd edition of the Trofeo Andrea Margutti. But during the final race, things did not work to her advantage just when her podium chances were materialising.

“I was rather optimistic after the time qualifying session, where I set the third best time just one tenth away from the leader. We improved the equipment even more before the first heat, and I won a heated duel with my opponents. Saturday was pretty encouraging“, she said. “On Sunday morning, I had an engine problem on the second lap of the second heat and that pushed me back to 16th place in the start grid of the pre-final.“

At the wheel of her Intrepid-TM with Praga colours, Beitske showed a superb progression up to sixth, with a record lap in her pocket. “I did not make a good start in final race and I got stuck in the pack. Then, I could not catch up as much as I wanted because my chassis was no longer as balanced”. It was with some regrets that Beistke finally crossed the finish line sixth.
