Team Grand Prix Kawasaki Racing celebrated another GP win this weekend as Livia Lancelot won the opening round of the Women’s World Championship. Home of the Bulgarian GP for several years now Sevlievo offered two different types of race this year as the weather changed so fast on Sunday. The first races took place on a dry track in hot temperatures before a storm changed the conditions between the heats. On Saturday the track was in perfect condition and once more Sébastien Pourcel was the fastest rider in all the sessions scoring his third consecutive pole position. Fastest during the free practice periods Livia Lancelot didn’t find a clear lap during the timed session and qualified third in the Women’s class.
We check in with Grand Prix Kawasaki Racing’s rising female starlet Livia Lancelot - one of Kawasaki's greatest hopes of winning a world title in 2008 - just days before her first GP of the year... Grand Prix Kawasaki Racing’s Livia Lancelot led the 2007 Women’s World Cup before a devastating knee injury almost sidelined the feisty French femme before the final round at Lierop. But despite being in massive amounts of pain, Lancelot toughed it out at one of the world’s toughest sand circuits to secure second in the championship behind Katherine Prumm and ahead of Maria Franke to make it a Kawasaki KX250F 1-2-3 in the final series standings.
