(Wednesday 28th March, 2018) – “It will be hard to finish in the top five this season!

Having been one of the prime movers in getting the class up and running in the Med some 13 years ago, Provezza’s Palma-based Postigo has been constantly involved since then. He is visibly excited at the prospect of the coming 52 SUPER SERIES season even if he can’t really gauge where Provezza might finish.
