Lorenzo Dalla Porta in place of Andrea Mantovani
Lorenzo Dalla Porta in Yamaha
The Evan Bros. WorldSSP Yamaha Team will introduce a new face on the FIM Supersport World Championship lineup starting with the Acerbis Round in the Czech Republic: Lorenzo Dalla Porta will take the place of Andrea Mantovani, from whom the team has decided to part ways. Mantovani did not take part in the Prometeon Round of Italy due to injuries sustained in the crash at Donington: the 2019 Moto3 world champion will replace him.
Mantovani was selected by the Evan Bros. Yamaha team for the 2023 season after two wildcard appearances in WorldSBK in 2021, as well as having raced in STK1000 between 2016 and 2018, finishing his first year in the top ten. This year his best result was a 12th place in Race 2 at TT Circuit Assen, skipping the British and Italian rounds due to injuries sustained in Friday’s Donington Park.
In 2019, the team won the championship with Randy Krummenacher while his boxmate Federico Caricasulo finished second. In 2020 Andrea Locatelli dominated the season in which he gave himself the world title while in 2021 and 2022 the team finished second and third behind Dominique Aegerter with Steven Odendaal and Lorenzo Baldassarri, respectively.
In a post on Instagram, Mantovani wrote, “I announce with great regret that, consensually with Evan Bros Racing Team, it has been decided to terminate the collaboration. I thank everyone for working together and wish the team all the best for the continuation of the season!”
Starting with the Autodrom Most Lorenzo Dalla Porta will be part of the team. In 2015 the Tuscan made his debut in Moto3™, later winning the world title in 2019 before moving to Moto2™. Until the end of 2022, he raced with the Italtrans Racing Team while this year he had five races with the Pertamina Mandalika SAG Team and two with the Forward Team; now this new experience in the WorldSSP awaits him.
Dalla Porta said, “I am really happy to have this opportunity with the Evan Bros. WordSSP Yamaha Team, certainly one of the best teams in the category. I want to give my best, to get those results that the team and I deserve. The project is good and ambitious, so we just have to start and work hard, to improve quickly and have fun. I thank the team for the opportunity, I am really motivated.”
Team Principal Fabio Evangelista said, “I am very happy to welcome Lorenzo to our team. The first mission is to help him in adapting to the category and the tires, and then start to improve step by step, aiming to get great results. The team is ready to work hard, as it has always done, to experience a second part of the season as protagonists.”

Davis Cup, not just Jannik Sinner: Lorenzo Musetti is ready
The bronze medal at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged her up
This is it. Italy è is ready to start on the road to another possible dream, which is to win the Davis Cup again. The first obstacle è represented by the hostile Argentina (absolutely not to be underestimated). The Azzurri are betting, of course, on world No. 1 Sinner but there’è great confidence also in Musetti who arrived in Malaga in great form.
The blue number 2 è has been the protagonist of a heavenly season. The bronze at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged him up. Now he è ready to be an absolute protagonist in the Davis Cup: “I arrive with a different maturity at all levels”, his clear words to Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I’m ready to take more responsibility and have a more central, more important part than 12 months ago. There will be a lot of excitement, a lot of adrenaline, and I have a lot of desire to experience the competition”, the commentary of Musetti himself, who arrived in Malaga in excellent physical condition, having had some time to rest after Paris-Bercy.
Clearly, with such a motivated Musetti, è much can be expected from Italy. Sinner è an absolute guarantee but, to make it all the way, the help of all the members of the blue team led by captain Volandri is needed. There’s a strong desire to accomplish another feat and return to celebrate, all together.

NBA, Milwaukee snaps up Giannis Antetokounmpo
Well Golden State, black crisis for Philadelphia
So many contests in the NBA night. With its back against the wall, Milwaukee finds the strength to fight back and take home a crucial victory in the match with Chicago (122-106 the final). Race dominated by Antetokounmpo who finished with an impressive 41 points on the scoreboard, including 25 in a surreal third period, with also eight assists and nine rebounds.
Thanks to this success, the Bucks record rises to six wins and nine losses. After losing the unbeaten streak to Boston, Cleveland returned to success: 128-100 over New Orleans. Excellent performance by Jerome (29 points). The record of the Cavs è the best in the NBA with 16 wins and only one loss (suffered, precisely, against the Celtics).
Most delicate moment for Philadelphia, which continues to sink. The 76ers also surrendered in Memphis (117-111 the final), collecting their 12th defeat of the season (only two wins). A strong showing by Embiid (35 points and 11 rebounds) wasn’t enough to bring a smile back to the interior of a team in total crisis.
As for the other games, OKC folds Portland (109-99) while Houston gets rid of Indiana (130-113) rather easily. New York wins the challenge with Phoenix (138-122) while Golden State prevails against Atlanta: 120-97 the final for the Warriors with 23 points by Curry. Nice success, finally, of the LA Clippers against Orlando (104-93).

GP Las Vegas, Carlos Sainz has hope for constructors’ title
Ferrari è currently second at -36 from McLaren
.
The Las Vegas GP takes the stage. A new opportunity, for Ferrari, to try to get even closer to McLaren, currently leader in the constructors’ standings with 593 points, 36 more than the Cavallino. The circuit would seem to favor the Rossa, although Sainz points out an important detail.
“Ferrari competitive? Looking at the track I would say sì, Ferrari should be competitive or at least should be able to fight but when we see that tire temperatures rise, then I would say no”, the clear words of Sainz reported by Marca.
The Cavallino driver knows that in order to take home the Constructors’ World Championship title, he needs “help” from McLaren: “I think we are close. But at the same time, we also need McLaren to make some mistakes, becauseé, if they don’t make any mistakes from here to the end, in case we have to win all the time and we and they come second in every race, I think McLaren will probably still be able to keep the title”.
Sainz, in addition to trying to win another GP before ending his adventure with the Cavallino, wants to try to help the team win the constructors world championship: “I would like to win the championship for Ferrari this year. And sì, I think it would be a great way to end the season”.
