An almost new course is attending the FIM and UEM SuperMoto Championship riders at Castelletto di Branduzzo, the venue of this weekend’s GP of Europe which is the second of both series. In the S1 class Aprilia Off Road’s Thierry Van Den Bosch leads the pack but he had to face a strong opposition since the season opened in Torino. KTM Italia Miglio’s Bernd Hiemer is right on his tail, with both the Frenchman and the German being level in points. Castelletto might be the chance for Husqvarna CH Racing’s Thomas Chareyre to close in on the leading duo, as the youngster aims at collecting his maiden World Title one year after he took his first ever GP win (Torino 2007).
The third Supermoto Italian Championship round wasn't so lucky for the Husqvarna CH Racing riders. In the Prestige class Gerald Delepine did fell twice in both races and did not get further than the last lines. Davide Gozzini, in the sport class, did not manage to get closer to the first places. The only victory, even if it was half of it, was conquered by the Italian champion in charge Ivan lazzarini.
