SUPERMOTO SM WCH: 8TH ROUND RACE LATINA, ITALY
21 November 2004 - KTM-Sportmotorcycles AG

A perfect start was the key for Fabrice Lecoanet to win the first race and important points for the championship in a perfect manner.

S2 Race 1
The French rider pushed the bike so hard, that he were untouchable during the whole race. He won the race by a distance of nearly two seconds to the next rider.

S2 Race 2
Lecoanet rode less successful at the second heat. After loosing some positions during the start, he was fighting at third place. He attacked Balducci and grabed the second position. A crash, without contact to anybody else, brought him back to the seventh position. Lecoanet started attacking again and finished at least on P 5.

S2 Superfinal
A bad start and a crash at the entrance of the offroad part threw Leconanet some positions back. Lap by lap, he attacked very aggressive rider by rider and finished the race at fifth.

S1 Race 1
Thierry van den Bosch had to fight hard aggainst Seel at the beginning of the race to stay in the leading group. When VDB rode at the second position, Seel enqueues at the end of the field. Because of this situation, Ivan Lazzarini had to use his brakes really hard to avoid a crash. He lost some time and important positions. Boris ''Lupo'' Chambon reached the fifth position after the start and attacked rider by rider. Finally he finished second behind his teammate. VDB, one more time unbeatable, grabbed the first rank and added ten points to his account. Lazzarini finished sixth.

S1 Race 2
After changing redlight to greenlight, Chambon took the leadership of the race. VDB had to defend his second position hard aggainst Manzo. During the two french teammates rode at the front, Lazzarini stayed back in the offroad. Because of a collision, he had to start the engine again. The Italian fighted hard and well. Lap by lap he got somebody and finished at ninth position.

S1 Superfinal
The Italian Brondi won the start of the superfinal, but followed close by VDB and Chambon. Very quickly, the French duo attacked him and took the leadership. VDB rode such a speed that he was followed by nobody. Lazzarini lost some time by fighting against Brondi and Fiorentino. At least he got successful, reached the third position and presented KTM a triple victory.
By the way, KTM won the factory championship this weekend. The riders title will be decided next weekend in Spain. But it´s for sure, that this title will go to Mattighofen too. The only question is: Who will win the title, Chambon or Van den Bosch?
