In Verona, the first test of the day was completed. The round against the clock was ridden over a height of 1.50m.
Fifteen combinations managed to keep the zero but it was finally Denis Lynch who could lead the lap of honor. The Rebozo LS la Silla descendant Rubens LS la Silla stopped the time at 61.60 seconds and was thus half a second faster than Julien Anquetin's Z Ice Cube Z. The British Sameh El Dahan was with Suma's Zorro only four hundredths of a second slower than Julien Anquetin and finished third.
Places four and five were for Luca Marziani with Don't Worry B and Martin Rodriguez Vanni with Highway.
