Just like the Italian Championship, the Dust&Fun Flat Track Trophy — after suffering the cancellation of what should have been its final round in Ravenna — saw its last race take place in Lonigo, on Vicenza soil. While the Rookies and Modern titles had already been decided three weeks earlier in Terenzano — respectively won by Alessandro Mantia and Davide Maran — the trophies still up for grabs were those of the Royal Enfield Cup and, above all, the Thunderbike class, by far the most hard-fought category this year.
The Royal Enfield Flat Track Cup, unfortunately, didn’t have much to say this season. After the strong participation seen in 2023 and a spectacular 2024 season, 2025 counted very few entrants — never more than two per race — and saw clear domination by Carlo Pettinato, who won every race he entered except for the first one in Lonigo back in April, where he ran out of fuel in the final. Lonigo 2 was no exception: Pettinato sealed the title after last year’s runner-up finish behind Michele Guerra. Behind him in the standings came Nicola Palomba, the only other rider to compete in more than one round.
The Thunderbike class was more uncertain and rich in overtakes, but once again victory went to the fast Sami Panseri on a Rotax, who managed to fend off Pettinato — also on Rotax — after the latter couldn’t complete a final-corner attack. Panseri thus took the title well-deservedly, with 4 wins out of 5 races, against Pettinato’s single victory in Boves. Joining them on the Lonigo podium was Alessandro Rossi, while the overall bronze medal went to Simone Zani. The only twin-cylinder flat track bike on the grid was the Ducati of Emanuele Furiassi, first and only classified in the Hooligan category.
The Modern class, dedicated to 450cc bikes, once again crowned Davide Maran — five wins in five races — this time ahead of Alessandro Mantia, who, after clinching the Rookies title early, decided to make the jump and managed to stay ahead of most of his rivals. On the third step of the podium was Domenico Renzetti, who also finished third in the Championship behind the consistent Gian Maria Gabbiani, second overall. In the Rookies class, the only participant — and therefore winner — was Simone Zanchetta, riding a BMW G450X set up for flat track.
