This weekend: Grand Prix of Greece who will win the titles?

THESSALONIKI (GREECE), 17 October 2008 – One round is left before both the S1 and the S2 World Titles will be taken and the place to be this weekend is Thessaloniki’s Drive Park in Greece.

Bernd Hiemer leads the S1 Championship with a 29 point advantage over runner up Thierry Van Den Bosch, with the latter also being involved in a dice for second with Thomas Chareyre and Ivan Lazzarini.

In the S2 Championship leader Adrien Chareyre will try to seal his second consecutive World Title but an extremely motivated runner up Davide Gozzini will give chase right from free practice one.

Both UEM titles will be assigned this weekend; Oliver Pope leads the S3 class ahead of archrival Olivier Scheen as Luca D’ Addato will face runner up Heino Meusburger in the battle deciding the Open title.

S1

Bernd Hiemer is extremely close to seal his second World Title this weekend

KTM Italia Miglio’s Bernd Hiemer is focused on sealing the S1 World Title as he leads the points standings with a 29 point advantage over runner up Thierry Van Den Bosch.

Losing vital points at Busca the DRC SuperMoto Aprilia Factory Superider will give it all this weekend in his last effort for the title but the Frenchman has to watch his back as well; other Superiders Thomas Chareyre, the winner of the latest two GP’s, and Ivan Lazzarini are chasing three time World Champion VDB for second in the Championship.

Matthew Winstanley currently sits in fifth but sixth placed Sylvain Bidart is super pumped after his first season’s moto win at Pleven during last weekend’s SMoN and he has a solid chance to move past the Brit this weekend.

Jerome Giraudo will miss the season’s finale after his crash at Busca; though the Superider is healing well and should be completely recovered in a couple of weeks.

S2

The last effort for Adrien Chareyre will be defending from Davide Gozzini in Thessaloniki

Deciding the Championship in the very last round is no news for Husqvarna CH Racing’s Adrien Chareyre as the current S2 red plate holder grasped last year’s title in an equal scenario.

Though this year there is a much closer runner up in the likes of TM Factory’s Davide Gozzini, who follows Chareyre from an 11 point distance. A double victory is what the Italian looks for as he does want to take this final chance for his maiden World Title.

The battle for third sees 2007 S2 World Champion Gerald Delepine on route to a clash with last year’s runner up Attilio Pignotti in what will be a similar finale to last year’s Championship where the duo battled for the Title until the final round.

Aprilia fellow Superiders Luca Minutilli and Christian Iddon round off the top six as other Aprilia man Massimo Beltrami will make his comeback to the GP scene after an injury.
