Besides him, Dami (Honda PVD Racing), regular as usually, but unlucky in many situations, and a group of young emerging riders leaded by the sixteen years old Luca Pellegrini (Suzuki Castellari), finalist for two times. Finally there will also be the terrible juniors participating the SX Junior: young supercross rider will to show their skills, in order to improve and dream about the European title in the SX1 class. Even for them it will be the final round deciding the winner of this first edition of the SX Junior, which has been an important experience to reply and enlarge, in order to assure the generation turnover among the supercross specialists. Monticelli is still the leader in classification, but Croci, Zecchina, Cucini and the French one Irsuti are ready to win in Genoa and to become the 2008 SXJunior Champion. The demonstration that Supecross Series has progressively grown up in terms of quality and importance, even because of the presence of riders coming form several European countries, usually far away from the most prestigious arenas: in example it will be the first time in Genoa for a Russian young rider, Lebedev (Yamaha), another promise at the supercross court!
