PAS DE LA CASA (ANDORRA), 20 September 2009 – Thomas and Adrien Chareyre made it to another double win after the fourth Grand Prix of the season was stopped at the end of a wet race one due to heavy fog. With the podium being made according to the race 1 results, Hermunen and Van Den Bosch completed the S1 rostrum with the Frenchman still leading the series. In the S2 class Delepine and Gozzini ended second and third behind current Championship leader Adrien Chareyre. Karanyotov built on his S3 series lead by taking victory at Pas de la Casa. Dall’Era won the Open class. S1-S2 RACE 1
The only race of the Andorran Grand Prix saw Superpole setter Adrien Chareyre of Husqvarna CH Racing take a great start and lead the pack into the sky section. A healthy group of Husqvarna riders in the likes of Thomas Chareyre and Gerald Delepine followed the S2 series leader with VDB and Hermunen also joining the chase for victory. Other Husqvarna CH Racing man Hermunen, who was joined this weekend by WRC Championship leader and fellow Finn Mikko Hirvonen, worked his way up by passing Van Den Bosch and later on even Husqvarna fellow rider Delepine. Hermunen tried to move past Thomas Chareyre, who had settled into second, but never managed and brought the bike home in third. In the meantime Adrien Chareyre had pulled off a good lead to take the eventual win ahead of his brother Thomas and Hermunen. Delepine was fourth ahead of 747 Motorsport TM Factory Racing’s Van Den Bosch, Lazzarini and Gozzini. Race two was cancelled as heavy fog covered the track from the end of this race until late in the evening. With no vision on the track it was impossible to run the final heat. In the separate classifications, Thomas Chareyre pulled off his second consecutive S1 GP win ahead of Hermunen and VDB, who still leads the series. In the S2 class Championship leader Adrien Chareyre won his fourth consecutive GP ahead of Delepine and Gozzini. Iddon, who headed to Andorra with no team support as the Brit and Motoracing split recently, took a surprising fourth in the S2. S1 Race 1 top ten: 1.
