Mondiale Supermoto S1 S2 Lazzarini takes home win at Ottobiano – Adrien Chareyre wins S2 GP

OTTOBIANO (ITALY), 25 October 2009 – Ivan Lazzarini pulled off a stunning win at his home round in Ottobiano, storming to second in the Championship behind leader Van Den Bosch. The latter was third on Ottobiano’s podium behind Thomas Chareyre.

Adrien Chareyre was back to victory but did not manage to secure his third World Title by just four points. Delepine was second on the podium and moved up to second in the Championship as well while Burkhart completed the podium at his maiden GP appearance. Gozzini instead was disqualified in heat one after a crash and slipped to third in the Championship.

Karanyotov moved one step closer to his maiden S3 Title after winning this penultimate round. Monticelli got back the red plate in the Open class as Animento won the overall.

S1-S2 RACE 1

After taking his first Superpole of the season, HM Honda Racing’s Ivan Lazzarini dominated the first moto from the start to the finish flag. The Italian, who dedicated his second heat win of the season to his grandmother (who recently passed away), holeshotted the first corner and kept the Chareyre duo behind for the whole race.

Thomas Chareyre, exploiting a mistake of VDB at the sky section to take third, was an eventual second after his brother Adrien let him by. The team play in between the Husqvarna CH Racing representatives was possible as Adrien was enjoying a safe advantage over second placed S2 rider Delepine, who crossed the finish line in eighth.

Adrien Chareyre settled for third ahead of S1 series leader Van Den Bosch, starting from second on the grid but struggling to keep the pace of the leading trio. In the other hand the French could keep a strong Seel behind in fifth, pulling away from the hard charging Belgian in the second half of the heat.

Verderosa was sixth ahead of Beltrami and Delepine, being the second best S2 Superider ahead of Gaspardone.

It was a tough opening moto for Gozzini, being disqualified for receiving outside assistance after a crash. The Italian was holding third behind Adrien Chareyre when he fell and after restarting the bike he finished outside the top ten.

Lazzarini topped the S1 standings ahead of Thomas Chareyre and VDB, while Adrien Chareyre topped the S2 standings from Delepine and Gaspardone.

S1-S2 RACE 2

Lazzarini of HM Honda Racing took another great start to lead the pack into the first corner, followed by Thomas Chareyre. Delepine got a good start while VDB was forced to recover from the back of the group.

Later on Lazzarini pulled away from the rest of the field while Husqvarna CH Racing’s Thomas Chareyre settled for second.

This time out 747 Motorsport TM Factory Racing’s  Gozzini made up for the first heat with a third place finish-first in the S2- defending his spot from Delepine and Adrien Chareyre. Delepine actually went down at the sky section while trying an attack on the Italian. That handed Chareyre the fourth place ahead of Van Den Bosch, Seel and Delepine.

Gaspardone was on route to his maiden podium but a mechanical failure caused the Italian a disappointing dnf.

Taking another fifth place in the S2 class Burkhart brought his Motoracing KTM on the overall podium at their maiden appearance in the GP scene.

Lazzarini climbed on top of the S1 podium for the second time this year ahead of Thomas Chareyre, ending a winning streak of three GP’s, and Van Den Bosch retaining the red plate.

Adrien Chareyre was back to victory and increased his advantage in the S2 series to 46 points. Delepine was second, with the podium result bringing also the second place in the Championship, while Burkhart completed the top three overall. Gozzini instead missed the podium for the first time this year and dropped to third in the Championship.
