Superstock 1000 FIM Cup leader Ayrton Badovini (BMW Motorrad Italia STK) is in a perfect position to wrap up the title at the upcoming UK round at Silverstone. The 24-year-old from Biella in northern Italy has totally dominated the FIM Cup this season, winning six races out of six and taking five pole positions.


This demonstration of superiority also allowed the young Italian to administer*the last race which was held at the Czech Republic circuit of Brno with relative ease. "It was the toughest race since the start of the season," declared Badovini. "We had grip problems and crashes were the order of the day. My aim was therefore to bring home the best possible result without throwing away the race, considering that Berger, my closest rival, had alread crashed out. I had to administer the tyre wear and use my head to get the better of Zanetti, who had nothing to lose in the championship".


The points leader in fact rode another superb race. He left Zanetti to do all the front-running and then passed him towards the end to take the chequered flag for his sixth win. At Silverstone Ayrton will have a 77 points lead over his closest rival Michele Magnoni: all he needs to do is to finish the race in front of his adversary to wrap up the 2010 Superstock 1000 FIM Cup with three races remaining.
