Meklau Closes IDM Series Gap
25 June 2008
Two podium places at Sunday's Sachsenring round put Andreas Meklau closer to the lead in the International German Superbike Championship (IDM). The 40-year-old Austrian, who rides for Team Suzuki International Europe, qualified for the front row of the starting grid after the practice session. In the first heat he took third place behind Jorg Teuchert (Yamaha) and Martin Bauer (Honda) and in the second, Meklau was in the lead and looked all set for his first win of the season until Belgian Suzuki rider Werner Daemen crashed and the race was stopped. After the restart, nine more laps had to be completed. Meklau chose a softer tyre mix for the second half of the race but was unable to catch Teuchert. Third place went to the Swiss Suzuki rider Roman Stamm.

Coverage Of The Fim Supermoto GP of Europe
23 May 2008
The FIM SuperMoto Grand Prix of Europe, to take place in Castelletto di Branduzzo on May 25th, will be broadcast live and delayed according to the attached schedule. Castelletto di Branduzzo’s Motodromo has been always linked to SuperMoto as it is one of the few permanent structures dedicated to the sport. The race track did undergo major changes throughout the winter and since April 2008 it looks completely different than it was last year. With the oval section and the sky zone being the only parts of the track that remained untouched, the rest of the Motodromo has become more flowing and fast.
