A meeting took place on Wednesday 17th Oct between CRP Technology’s Racing dept and Modena F.C. soccer players. The meeting was between two totally different disciplines, but both have the same group mentality and competitive spirit. All the CRP Racing Team were present, together with the rider Riccardo Moretti, who were all fresh from the agonistic success achieved in the Honda RS 125 GP Trophy and the Italian Championship (CIV), the Modena F.C. soccer players Nicholas Frey and Yuri Tamburini and the World Champion 125cc and 250cc Luca Cadalora.
