Valladolid will host its very first FIM SuperMoto Grand Prix this weekend, in what has been predicted like the hottest weekend of the season with temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius. S1 series leader Thierry Van Den Bosch of Aprilia Off Road is all ready to face this Gran Premio de España Ciudad de Valladolid, as this represents a sort of second home Grand Prix for the Frenchman living in Andorra.
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).
